It's one thing to pony up and another to own up. I might be inclined to move him slightly up the ladder from "scum of the earth".
well, i don't claim to have led a pristine life, and some of my distant
past made this guy look like immaculate conception personified.
my fico is above 800. when i quit drinking, it was a negative number.
i've had one check bounced in the last 30 years. B of A had a banking
error on that one.
when i quit drinking, i'd been living out of the check cashing places
for three years. check cashing places in cities like compton.
i failed "intuitive checking" badly. wake up monday morning,
and six checks are missing from your checkbook, no idea where or
how much, the ATM holds your card and says to see a bank officer....
IRS collections somehow got a hold of a coke dealer i knew, and was
trying to find where the car i was living in was parked.... he said he
didn't know, but he thought near disneyland.... the IRS agent said,
"that's a shame... he's so young..." the tragedy of that was during
that time, early 80's, i was taking home above $2k a week, most weeks.
so to brand him "scum of the earth", i'd first have to have the title
expunged from my record.... :angel:
it looks like the guy is dying from a self inflicted wound. maybe he
will get help, but most likely not.
that's why i posted earlier.... "i can't look any more"....
reading all that stuff brought back a feeling that you can't even
comprehend, unless you've felt it personally.
sad to say, i know what that feeling feels like, and why it feels that way.
