So I thought I’d wait to get the check before I made a decision. No sense lying awake at night thinking about what to do if the check was for $150. I finally got it and it WAS $200.

I read everything carefully that you all wrote, put it all together and came up with this. I called her and told her I realized I made a mistake when I went to enter her check in my records. Asked her what she wanted me to do with the $50 and the reply was “keep it and take it off of next year’s event.”

That worked out really nicely (whew…..I’m wiping my brow)!

But I have to give you guys points here. Everyone came together on this topic….no bickering, no shanghai-ing, no dissension. Just a lot of great advice, thoughts, comments......and......insight into everyone’s character. I was very impressed with the good moral advice a lot of you gave here.

I thought this was one of the best threads ever that displayed group unity.

Thanks to everyone who contributed. When you guys need to be serious about something you make an art out of it!
