I just got finished reading all the posts. It took quite a while to catch up and I also replied to a private message from a very nice member that took a while.
I'll air my laundry so y'all will feel better.
Today is my youngest son's birthday. We've had a great day doing all the stuff dads and sons do on birthdays. I'm a single full time dad so our time is precious. My family comes first. Thank you!
I also watched some of the Colts game/ That didn't keep my attention long.
OK, back to the truck.
I did go to the dicks home. He was there. Yes, he came out without permission to shoot but figured I wouldn't mind. That's BS and we both knew it.
Here's where things went wrong. The poor s.o.b. is stranded, broke, and totally screwed without truck or money. He spent almost all of his cash on a wrecker on an unsuccesful attempt at retrieving his truck.
Empty 'fridge, out of TP ( l think it's justice LOL!) and right now F.F.L. as far as I can tell.
My son and I took him to the store so the buttwipe could get buttwipe and bologna, etc. Generic bologna? YUK! Cheap TP..OUCH!
He spent $12 on survival items. Poor dumb Dick.
He's going to try to raise/borrow the $$ to get his truck out and swears he'll fix my yard. It's actually a muddy bog after rains and only really dries up after a week or so of dry weather. Basically don't get off the drive or you're screwed. I leave my other Jeep in the drive to keep people out. "Hint Hint"
Man up? I wouldn't put myself in that situation to start with. I'm better than that and assume most people are.
Posted publicly and should offer more details? Yes I did but only to get his attention. I'm sorry but I didn't think about the PM to do this. I was also pis..d and figured a little public humiliation threat might do some good and helped me vent my frustration and anger over this. In hindsight I would most likely have done different.
It's not over until my yard and drive are repaired.
Sometimes I forget how fortunate I am.
No, I'm not going to kick a dog when he's down but he'll clean up his own mess when he tinkles on my floor.
Harry, I'd just like to say you're a better man than most. I hope your son got to see how this went down, it would be a great lesson for many young men to learn.
Teaching lessons while extending a helping hand often builds stronger members of society than whippings and harsh retribution.
I agree with your sore back, lots of sweat and a few blisters method of repayment. I'm also strongly impressed at your trip to the store.
I already repped you in this thread earlier this morning, wish I could rep you some more. You deserve it.
