Will Wonders Never Cease!

Does anyone else frequently and obnoxiously

use this expression?

It was one of my mother's favorites, and 

going one step further, I have even set it to music.

Just ask my kids.

Well.  It has never been more applicable than today.

Even though I felt foolish and like I was wasting
my time,
I wrote American Airlines a detailed letter
about the circumstances under which my 
brand new bag was ruined.
Of course, I sent several gruesome pictures.


About two weeks ago I decided to give the baggage
service number a call so I could put the
matter out of mind.
Again, I got an extremely nice lady.
(It surely must have been the same one!)
She said that it takes 12 to 14 weeks after
they receive a complaint before it is 
assigned to a handler.
I told her how unreasonable I thought that time
period to be.
And, guess what?
She agreed!!!
(Musical notes..."Will wonders never cease,
will wonders never cease,
will wonders never, ever, ever cease.")


Well...I want so badly to show you a picture
of what I received in yesterday's mail,
but my computer is not cooperating.
It is a check from American Airlines to moi
for $69.95!
Really!  Can you believe it?
In spite of the fact that the bag is still
technically usable,
and that the imposed time limit to complain
was outside of my capability,
  and that I fully expected them to just ignore me,
they paid me.


Sometimes we don't receive because we don't ask.
Even if we feel foolish doing so!
And feel free to ask me to do a chorus of
Will wonders never cease
next time you see me.
You may find occasions where it fits perfectly.
