Hi

I read all the original posts, but didn't actually reply. But I came onto CC to post a question to ask how you'd got on, so I'm glad I found this.

Just one thing comes to my mind... I can't remember exactly how it was worded, but could she have thought you meant that once she gives you the pictures, then you'll pay her within 30 days?

I wouldn't want you to give a huge sigh of relief, only for this to rear its ugly head again at some point in the near future.

Fingers crossed it's all over and done with for you, though.

Kind regards

Hi Brenda - it's the 25th! I was thinking about you this morning, and lo & behold I see this thread when I get to work (yes, I am CCing while I am at work). I hope today is uneventful for you!
Cindy

I am so glad to hear that you have had a rather uneventful month and hope that it continues to be one! As smoore said she is probably onto a new crisis....maybe the pictures didn't "show" what she wanted them to show so she is sending her "lawyer" after the developer....

Have been having trouble getting CC to load for me so I've stayed away for a few days. Glad to see there is an update on this disaster. Beings this is the 27th, does that mean we are through with the customer from Hell? She may have run off with one of those important Hitachi clients.

I would love to breathe that big sign of relief being that today is the 28th and still no word from her, but being that there has been NO word I think its still hanging in limbo. She could show up at any given time and start complaining that either A. my lawyer never followed through getting her the papers to sign.. or B. OOPS, forgot to send you the pictures, but here they are and now its been over 30 days so I want my money NOW!
or C. Here are the papers for Small Claims court.

I dont really think the court thing will rear its ugly head again but I think one day she may just resurface...

I have been Googling my name periodically to try and see if she may have started badmouthing me somewhere..
Nothing yet.
Maybe she has turned her stupid energy towards some other frivilous lawsuit like the boy at the supermarket who put her eggs on the bottom and they all broke.

I am going to assume that your cake business is still going well or you would have said something. I wouldn't worry at this point about her hurting your business or your reputation. If the agreement was 30 days, then how could she come back on you now?

Diane

Maybe the woman has a hubby who put his foot down and stopped this nonsense. Time to go back to your life now and don't worry about her anymore. If she contacts you again, just do NOT respond. People like this just suck the joy out of life if they are allowed. Don't allow it! It's been a month, move on. Spring is coming, time for renewal! Go for it!!

And take care!!

Well, whatevah,

here's a wiggle huggle for you

{{{{HUGGLE}}}}

Let's hope this will be the last of it all and you go on with your life and cakes!

I agree with CarolAnn, Move on.

"CRAZY" has stolen a month from you, and that's enough. No more.

Just make sure that you still keep on kicking behind and taking names with your cakes.

(Believe me when I tell you that those Executives probably were 3 sheets to the wind and decided to mess around with your cake and that one of THEM is responsible for the mishap.

CASE CLOSED)

Honestly.. I was pretty annoyed that my lawyer-friend dropped the ball on this whole thing but I guess it worked out ok ( so far ). Had he actually sent her the paperwork as he TOLD me he was going to do she may have been more inclined to send those pics out.. So i'm not really complaining.

Many of you may remember how he was all gung-ho to "squash her like a big" the first night I talked to him, then it slowly disapated to "umm.. er.. yeah, um... I didnt actually get around to having those documents writen up.. ".
But I'm so grateful that I didnt just go ahead and give her money back when the whole nightmare first started.
LOL.. watching the rerun of the Disney Cakes on Food Network tonight and seeing the Jasmine doll needing the toothpicks for support to travel 8 feet made me cringe!!

Hopefully, she has moved on to harrassing someone else, or someone admitted to her that they actually bumped the table and thats why the cake fell.

Thank you for the update Brenda, and you go on with life and continue caking...God's on your side!!!

HOW did this turn out ???? I've been wondering for MONTHS !!!

Yeah has there been anything?

I'm happy to report that nothing has ever come of this awful situation since I last posted. My lawyer hasn't heard from her ( I guess I should thank him for NOT doing his job!) and I haven't heard a word either.

Thank you again to everyone for your continued support through this nightmare.. Without all of your kind and supportive words ( and offers to help if I actually went to court ... and offers of help to pelt her with $250 worth of pennies) it would have surely been a bigger headache.



Brenda

I'm so glad and relieved for you. What a terrible hag she was!

I am so happy for you that this is truly behind you. It was really stressful for you during that time.

Do you think you will ever do another cake like that one again?
How are you and DJ's getting along?
Do your customers have to take an emotional stability test before you will take their orders?

-Debbie B.

No, I will not do a cake like that ever again...
I havent encountered any problematic DJ's since that time thank god.

I actually DID encounter another nut-job customer similar to that one but I dealt with them much better now than I would have prior to the first one and I hope to keep those encounters to a minimum!

Phew and congratulations on your "win" LOL. Let that be a lesson to everyone too, that even the most psychotic nutjobs may indeed NOT follow through on their threats, especially when their claims are bogus anyway. I am sooo happy for you!

I am happy that you have moved on and created more great cakes!
Good Luck to you in the future!
