I read about it online purely at random, and I followed the link to file. They didn't ask for proof of purchase, but if I had thought at the time, I could have asked for a printout since I always use my PetSmart loyalty card. Most of them don't ask for receipts (you have to accept a smaller amount without one, and your filing includes a sworn statement attesting that you are a qualified litigant). So far, nothing exciting. I probably should save it for spring, when I feel more chipper.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-16989303216591751072018-02-02T19:33:51.486-05:002018-02-02T19:33:51.486-05:00I have never received mail about a class action la...I have never received mail about a class action lawsuit that I could lay a claim to. But now I am thinking I might need to take a closer look! Do they ask you for proof of purchase on that? I only ever get letters about stuff like that in the mail for 'people who suffered from asbestos exposure during the 1950's' or similar, lol. <br /><br />I hope you find something great to splurge on!

I've come to hate purses in general, and look at them now as sort of a Necessary Evil. I wish I didn't even have to carry one, ever. I've been using the same three or four purses in rotation now for about ten years or more. And the most expensive one was less than fifty bucks with a bunch of discounts at Macy's.<br /><br />I've been feeling very sorry for all of you Southerners with all that snow! It's really Not Fair. Especially since it doesn't diminish ours at all. ;-)Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-11301638698240152112018-01-23T20:56:35.382-05:002018-01-23T20:56:35.382-05:00In my former job (you know, 20 days ago), I handle...In my former job (you know, 20 days ago), I handled the other side of the class action. We only had a few actually get settled as class actions & the members only ever got a few dollars each. It's the lawyers that score in these matters. So go you with your excellent haul! If I had an extra $100 I would buy a purse. It's been a while since I got one and I'm starting to get obsessed. Or some really good boots. Oh who am I kidding - I'd buy yarn. Ha!<br /><br />P.S. We had 6 inches of snow last week. I used my Ohio cred & went to work anyway only to get sent home early.

We were in the class action lawsuit against Ticketmaster and we got a boatload of credits, but they are all for horrible concerts and we rarely go to concerts anymore so it's really like we got nothing.<br /><br />Here's hoping that the weather improves for you soon!

When I researched the whole thing (because, you know, that's just Who I Am), it was apparently because so few people filed, relatively speaking.

I've seen my share of ice jams and the ice-covered trees all along Erie's breakwalls. It is killing me how The NBC Nightly News is making a huge deal about the ice in a river in Connecticut. YAWN. How is this news? This is a common occurrence in OH, and isn't Winter a usual visitor in CT? Now if it were ice jams in the Everglades, then by all means, send a reporter out there and I'm excited.<br /><br />The huge ice jam "sculptures" this year on Erie are magnificent. The ones you are talking about are singular this year because of the quality of the ice and their height. They do look quite Arctic--or at least Alaskan--and are going to make a lot of terrific photos.<br /><br />But we are not Connecticut, that's for sure. ;-)Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-56127996188989316902018-01-19T08:41:49.843-05:002018-01-19T08:41:49.843-05:00Bridget--I know, right?

I think maybe near Sandusky...A television crew was there filming some people climbing on them (crazy), taking pictures, etc., of the lake frozen over. And this one kid was beyond thrilled b/c he was able to lie down "on" Lake Erie and make a snow angel.
