Thanks for the support; I do appreciate you guys vouching for me, and even the lectures. *grin*
A few things I wanted to address individually:
TurboAngel-I'm so sorry if it seemed like I was mad, honey; I didn't mean to cop an attitude at all. I was just trying to explain my reasoning for not taking that particular action. I apologize.
BadDog-Thanks for doing that. I've tried reaching him multiple times but have been unsuccessful. Perhaps someone else can get a response better than I can.
Lenny2 and MsLenny2-I will be in touch today, and I've missed you guys, too.
I truly hope it's just a mistake, and if I can get my money back, there would be no hard feelings...no friendship, either, but that was his choice, not mine.
If he is reading this....
I don't know what the reason for all of this is, and it really doesn't matter. You took advantage of someone in a far less secure situation than you. That's pretty shitty, dude. Just pay me back, and make it right. My epass ID is angelmarie.
