WEll folks, If you remember my vent post a couple of days ago where the VSTBX exploded on my when I showed her the Insurance biil for her new car that she never put on a policy of her own. <P>Well as the title ofthis post suggest... I was talking to a new lady friend (just friends, really) on the phone last nightand the STBX beeps in. SCreamiing in to the phone. She had less than $30 bucks in her checking account.. I said I didn't know what to say and that I had just that day mail another CS payment.. <P>This morning she calls me on my cell and asks if I had taken any money out of her checking account.. I said, YOU gotta be kidding me,, Absolutly not, no way. She then said that $2500 was removed from her checking.. and Hangs up. <P>Now I figure 2500$ is a rather large sum to just misplace. So, My bet is I'm going to get all the insurance bill. And what feels the best is that she absolutly can't blame this one on me!!! <P>I'll probably end up helpingher out AGAIN!! Just like I would any other friend of mine.. ;-)<P>Tex. <P>

Rightio, AGMIT. That's rich, man...very rich. I am a lousy accountant, but...damn!<P>It's very, <B>very</B> righteously cool of you not connecting the anticipated bill back into the mix.<P>When my XW did the deed, I told her she had to move out the day it was final. She was all...I can't wait to move 'beyond you'...ouch! The day we signed, we came home...total silence the whole way...she goes and gets the mail...got rejected on her section 8 housing. Now, I felt bad, but I really wanted to feel good about it, you know? I let her stay another week, and she got another place a block away, but I liked the fact that there is some parity in the universe...that's reassuring, isn't it?<P>What will be revealed next? Who knows...Talk to you later. -Mike

The other shoe drops. <P>She neglected to remember that she lost her Drivers Lic. at the bank about 2 weeks ago. Somebody picked it up and cashed 2 check for $1500 a week ago, and for $1K just yesterday.. The person did it at the bank and in person. <P>Procrastiation will get ya everytime..<P>You'll be good.<P>Tex.

What'd she do? Lose her checkbook with her DL in it? How'd they get her account number? Is there a bank employee involved somehow?<P>She couldn't make a simple phone call to report it?<P>I better stop here before I say something not nice.<P>~Amy

AGMIT,<BR>Thanks again for the "Road of Life". Both my teenagers also read it cos they wanted to know why I was sitting here boohooing. I think they were touched. And considering they are teenagers and aliens inhabit their bodies about 1/2 the time- that was amazing.<BR>Sounds like your XW is having trouble getting it together. I know the little devil in me would have to give just a little . But it sounds like you are handling the situation with kindness and compassion. You sound like one hell of a friend. And if your XW can get out of this and still count you as her friend, she will be one lucky soul.<BR>Take care,<BR>Lisa <p>[This message has been edited by SoSad.59 (edited July 11, 2001).]

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<BR> <BR>(sorry, I just had to)

OOTF: Heck no, They just ciped the Drv. Lic. went back in a day or two later, picked up a blank withdraw request, walked up to the teller, showed the DL and said they couldn't remember the acct#. And Bingo. Then after that they had the acct# to put on the next one. They'll get'em though.. All they have to do is go back and check out the camera for that date and time. She'll get the money back..<P>SS59: You are more than welcome.. When my dad had quintuple bypass surgery, 2 day after I found out about the wifes affair I was loaded up with a whole lot of stuff. Wifes affair, Her taking the kid and leaving, dad's critical surgery. I couldn't handle it and turned it all over to him. I try to live my life to these words. It sure has and continues to help me everyday. <P>On the second part, My dad told me when I was a kid "You can't keep a [censored] dog, from chasing [censored].." She will forget this issue and the next time will be the same.. <P>GSD; Me tooo. ;-)<P>Tex.<p>[This message has been edited by AgoodManInTexas (edited July 11, 2001).]

What goes comes around goes around is true-<P>I spent 10 years loving my STBX- now that I'm on the path to divorce- HE DECIDED HE LOVES ME!! How that for a kicker!!<P>Day late and a dollar short Baby! I would have done ANYTHING to have him love me even 6 months ago! Now that I know how dirty he is- how much he lied- and how he threw me away- he irritates the hell out of me!!! I look at him and feel nothing- hmmm- probably as he has felt about me for our entire marriage!! You reap what you sow for sure!!! <P>Funny thing is- I couldn't have exacted a better revenge on my own ya know?<P>Good luck to you Tex!<BR>TLFM

"What goes around comes around"<P>That was my saying from the day I filed for divorce!!!! I went through so much emotional abuse from a cop for 16 years that I actually wished a drug dealer would kill him while he was in the line of duty. I did everything for him and my 2 girls and tried my best to stay in the marriage until they graduated, but when the oldest was 15, I just couldn't do it anymore, my heart and soul were too tired of the battle. I eventually had an affair because someone paid attention to me at a time when I didn't want to live anymore. I packed my clothes, a pillow and sleeping bag, got an apt and left. Tore me apart because I was so close to my girls. They chose to live with him in the house, I paid child support, but it only lasted 4 months before they saw their dad's true colors.<P>Here is the absolute truth about "what goes around comes around", the very first weekend I picked up my girls, he had another woman spend the night and she got pregnant. He is 40 and starting over, plus she has an 8 & 5 yr old. Very ironic he found someone that quick and she just happens to be a cop too. They are married now and I am happy for both of them.<P>All I have ever prayed for was for him to quit trying to mess with my head and my girls heads. He still begs for them to come live with him. He bought a house around the corner from me, very strange, but I look at the good side, maybe the girls will get closer to him because a lot of emotional damage has been done and they don't deserve that.<P>The good person ends up winning even if you feel like you are on the losing end, God knows in the end.<BR>

I am 99.9% sure the bank should be responsible for the money withdrawn. Whether or not the person had her ID. If they looked at it, they would have known it was not her. Especially if they did not have account numbers. Also the bank has to have cameras. With the computer logged time of withdrawl and the camera, they should be able to catch the perosn who withdrew the money. She needs to check into that. $2,500 is a lot of money to lose! Very irresponsible, but I guess it can happen to anyone.

Hey AGM,<P>it's been a while......<P>so sorry to read that you ended up here. <P>Yep, what goes around comes around - I do hope I'm still alive to see it in my case!!<P>I don't want anything 'bad' to happen to him, but deep down I guess I wouldn't be adverse to him feeling a little of what I've felt over the last two years....... <P>Shame for your w. $2500 (gads, that's like a million over here in banana country at the moment) is a lot of money in anyone's language. Maybe this is one step on that long long road she is on where she now takes responsibility for herself.<P>take care of you, and have a great night<P>Jo
