hrmmm..ok..a few thoughts.
first..you already have a pretty good idea of whats going on.
the no answer-call back,along with the cant drive 60 miles thing is bs.
anyone whos serious would have been there already.

second,the chat thingy..IM computer illiterate,and even i can figure out the chat im.
( altho i was a bit surprised when someone im-ed me the other day..i wasnt aware this site had instant im. )

third,cant call after ten...yep..more bs...again,if he was serious,he would talk till the crack of dawn,if possible.
so i agree that hes hiding a marriage or girlfriend.

this sucks,not only for you,but lets think of the girlfriend/wife whos also being bamboozled.

so that just leaves the question of who you can trust..and thats a tough one to answer..

i cannot begin to count how many women have expressed interest in me,only to bail out as soon as they find out im NOT going to support them,their kids,fix their cars,buy them a new one,save them from their ex,etc etc.

so...i really cant answer the trust issue.

i Wish you the Best of Luck in the future.

ps,i noted that you didnt exchange addresses..Thats a Smart move there

hrmm..i have been doing the same..i even checked his profile,and hes been here within the last day.

so,whatever could be the reason for him not to reply to his own thread?

maybe its because his thread got jacked and there was only two posts that actually related to the topic,and on one of those he was called a douchebag?

im sure hes gonna be rushing back here so he can get some more of that.....

yesterday myself and another person were emailing a few times back n forth,and i noticed afterwards,that i never received any notification in my offsite email that i had new mail here.

i wondered about this,and thought maybe it was because we answered the emails promptly on-site,that it never made it offsite?

that make any sense?
thanks for your time,cheers Rob

while i agree on a general basis with what you said,im not sure this applies to bruce...esp this extra time thingy you mention?

maybe im missing something,but it sounded like bruce is not only running this mans business,but hes Also doing all his housework and yard duties too?

and has No money incoming??!!
plus homer is stealing bruces food stamps too??
thats just not right.

on a basic level,one guy living in a large house,thats already occupied by a Family--> cannot be expected to pay for ALL the bills..just saying.

thats kind of shitty...no,im wrong..its brutally shitty.
and i have run into this scenario before..i would call bruce`s so called lifelong "friend" a USER.

and i would advise bruce to find a diff place,perhaps someone else he can trade off his food stamps towards living there.

theres no way you can help him lex?

weekend means driving up to the big city n buying some more vehicles..sigh..sometimes i get a bit tired of the same routine..but..never know whats gonna happen.

like 2 weeks ago...the transmission went out on one of my 4x4`s and left me stranded..usually im the one doing the rescuing.
or last weekend,when i bought a 67 chevelle for 500 bucks.
that doesnt happen often.

prolly plow the remains of the snow around so i can get out the vehicles in the back yard on sunday..im a bit behind on those because of the snow.

maybe ill swing past the bar next town over n check the scenery.

i just went and looked again..all the pics seem to be consistent,altho the one where you are kneeling on the floor appears to be sad...or,in a sad mood,should i say.
doesnt seem to fit in with the others.

i agree that you look Very young,in fact i never would have guessed 39.

to the shadow..i can understand what you are saying,as its the same way with me..shave,n i look like im very young..dont shave,and i look older.

fortunately for becca,i dont think she needs to worry about shaving her beard


again,this is why i dont base Everything on pictures...i like to read profiles and their former posts,and if others do base judgement on just a picture..then its their loss..yes,no ?

perhaps with any luck,the person you speak of will See this topic and read it.
maybe he will even learn something...

one can only hope.

so they revealed themselves ( character )in one email..thats pretty good tho isnt it?

just be Glad that you didnt get involved with them,for you have saved yourself.
and move onwards...

Edit:
i just went and looked at your profile,and i dont think you are a bit ugly at all,you look great!

plus,i like the part about you being a writer,as im a reader.

im gonna guess that the part about you being married,comfortably,is probably what set him off.

i was surfing thru facebook the other nite,and realized theres no security at all.

by clicking on peoples friends lists,and then their friends and so forth,i was able to hopscotch All over face book..some adults And teenagers have over a Thousand friends on facebook.
how do you really know! a thousand people online??!!
thats just insane.

now,if a computer illiterate such as myself can do this,just think what sick freaks who know what they are doing could be be up to on facebook.

Key sentence--> And thinks I owe him the rest

exactly..and till he learns that life doesnt revolve around him alone,then he wont get any better.

Save your Daughter,and let him sink or swim.

G/L and Best Wishes.

ps..invite a bunch of your friends over on the 7th...for *cough* company..
just in case...

just like Cindy said----> cash is king!

credit cards are not..in fact,since the crash,credit card companies have changed their interest rates and ALSO their Information policies.

if you are making payments and have a Balance due of Any kind,
they can change your rate at almost any time now..to whatever they want..and you can either stop using cards or pay them.

they are Not there to be your friends,or help you out!!
same with the Banks!
all they care about,in this day and age,is how Much money they can make Off of You..period.

thats the bottom line.

back to the topic..as far as extra cash goes Evian,have you thought about perhaps selling stuff on craigslist?
its free,you might could get a little something going there.
you would be surprised what can sell,i have at least 25 people right now looking to buy some of my old hotwheels cars.

models..magazines..comics..anything deemed collectible..etc etc.
just a thought...

i buy and sell on the Web
sounds like a good idea you have.
just make Sure that you Copyright your patterns,or someone can just turn around and sell your stuff as theirs.

also,a lot of people use free websites and such.
you get what you pay for,literally.

paying for a host/server is a good idea.
Promotion is by far the biggest hurdle..you can have the best product in the world,but if people cant find it,then?

also,payments..can be made thru paypal and such..that frees you up a bit,BUT just remember that most of these companies such as paypal Charge a percentage of each sale.

just a couple of thoughts..Good Luck to you.

B...
i agree with becca and shasta,how would you know what really happened?

chat global-date local.....lol!!

sounds good..unless all thats available is Loco....

Random....out of the blue..

i was walking down the hallway in the apt building,and my friend Bob said hey man,cmere n check this out!

so i walked in there n he had this box and a tv screen,and he called it the internet..computer..monitor...and he could go places and get all sorts of info....

and then it happened..he said,sit down n try it out..

that was many many years ago..but you can guess the rest of the story.

last year i had the chance to date a woman from a town over..she seemed perfect,nice,worked n took care of her kid...

i had actually just given her my number,and we had been talking..

then i went to one of my musicfests,and saw her there hanging out with a guy i know deals and shoots drugs.

so i checked into it,and she was doing heroin.
that was the end of that.

she still tries to get me to go out with her,but im not even going there.

so yes,drugs ruined what might have been a great relationship.
