The Co-op: Lest we forget!

Its true time can soften bad things that happen over the years but some things you want to learn from and never forget.

Some 6 years ago I drank the punch of a nomad travelling in a van.  I helped him find a great GMC motorhome actually owned by a product representative in the RV industry.  I invested in him fronting services and parts to make his GMC as good as it could be.

In return he walked off with my entire computer password file …..he offered to help me with my web site stuff…..and @ $8000 in those parts and services I was so stupid to do for him.  Think about that, he took my computer info for 2 companies as well as my personal accounts and password information.  Had to change all accounts and passwords for everything!  How would you feel?

Hey, it was expensive but I learned a very important lesson.  He sold his motorhome, left our community and I had to chalk up the rip off as just beware heels like him……there are opportunists out there and the internet protects and helps them get you!

So why am I digging all this up again here where we’re supposed to have fun and see neat stuff?  I won’t and I hope you don’t forget and drink his punch like I did.  I WANT to believe people…..do not believe this person…..so he shows back up on Facebook…like nothing ever happened and no one remembers.  He may be right….but hell no….I ain’t forgotten!

So he sells the GMC we helped him get and crawled back into a van, made money and went away.  I guess that’s as much as I can expect….So I put on my big boy pants…learn the lesson and moved on.  Isn’t that what you have to do?  Well, he is back and I will never forget.  So if you remember all that, remember him and don’t be fooled….he’s trying to weezle back into our community?  Not over my dead body.  Don’t respond to his threads on Facebook but if you do remember who he is and what he did to me.

I’m a southern gentleman…..not correct to use the word Red neck anymore….still I will never forget or forgive, got me pretty pissed off again and still so you can thank him for this crappy post this morning.  If you support this person do not call me looking for help…….if you drink his punch or think someone like him is harmless do not look to me for anything!  Enough wasted time on this person……..we lived through it and I will again.

Talk to ya tomorrow….sorry but I’m in a bad mood today

Don’t worry, tomorrow I’ll again be professional and business like……..
