I was at MR today when a most curious thing happened. Krisk wrote a simple comment about her undies bothering her in a thread that has been dead for, oh, about 6 millenia....

Oh, you fibber! As if this thread has ever even had so much as the sniffles!

Gray heather cotton (organic preferred). Other solid colors are acceptable. Any elastic must also be enclosed in plain cotton, so it doesn't dig into my skin. I actually prefer the "sports" type bras, and "brief" shaped pants.

No explanation with the item. 3 days of frantic messages and emails follow - plus discovery of web site showing the identical photograph and description of Ebay item - at twice the price !!!. Owner finally responds, he's been away. Error on their part, they've sold it, and doesn't appreciate being informed that the alternative sent was not of same quality. Offers another that he says is 3* more valuable - but although it's a nice pair it has damage in the centre and it's not nearly as nice.
Blames web-site reorganisation for item still on sale - even today...
He's worried that a negative feedback will ruin him and put his staff out of business. Talk about tripping guilt !!!
He promised to obtain suitable specimens .... we wait.....

That's a pretty serious breach of contract. I would not let those folks guilt-trip you. Give them a chance to resolve the situation, but also a time-limit. They should really have refunded your money plus shipping plus a store credit or something already, not be "promising" you anything.

Well, yes. Things have gotten better in that area even over the past 10 years (e.g. the surfaces are warmed now), but it's no fun. Last year I ended up with some internal bruising that had some slightly alarming side effects.
No problems this year.
I'm given to understand that guys have some unpleasant medical procedures of their own, however.
Today all this is a mere distraction from the pain in the back of my jaw where the endodontist had to keep me pried open so she could drill out the roots of tooth #30. Bleah. At least the tooth itself doesn't hurt any more.
