Blanche II

Where were we? Oh right, it's the relationship, stupid! Anyhoo...so up pops Blanche in June. Shopgirlove pulls out all the stops. She apologizes, she bends over backwards. This is when she learns that Blanche has done none of the work necessary to filing a claim...nothing. Somehow, magically, someone is supposed to cut her a check for thirty large without any effort on her part. Blanche blames the vendor (Shopgirlove suggested resending the paperwork signature required,) she blames the insurance company: "their demands ahr impossible"! Gee, like filling out a form? Yeah, that's inhuman-call Kofi Annan. Whatever. Shopgirlove rallied the tour operator and the vendor and protected those relationships since nothing exists without them and then called Blanche back.

Shopgirlove: "Hello, Mrs. helpless? It's Shopgirlove. I've spoken with my vendors and they all agree that they are waiting on you for information.

Blanche: Oh, these forms ahr impossible! Ah cannot possibly be expected to fill them out! It is just not doahble!

Shopgirlove: Ok then, I don't think we can't help you. I mean, if you're not willing to submit a claim, then there's not much we can do for you. Please do let me know if you change your mind. I live to help.

To be continued...
