> > Well, I asked how much, and she responded, "Only two fifty, it's a great

> days
> > later, I received my VISA statement and it was $285.00. I looked again
and

interpretation

you

could

> > slammed down the phone on her.
> > So here it is!!! Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you can
> > possibly think of. I paid $250 for this...I don't want Neiman-Marcus to
