So, its a little slow over at Skins Island Of The Damned. I got bored with the usual nonsense about Trumps Closets and... well thats about all thats going on. Sooo I decided to head to the "Lounge" and found this short, but humorous post. Humorous in the since of a Muppet being taken for, when trying to do a good deed. Thats humorous to me at least.

any accountants here?
i have a question about professional standards.
so, i have a friend who is a midwife, and her hubs is an accountant. 1 kid, should have few money problems. but apparently have no liquid assets for emergencies. a year ago i loaned her some money, because her autistic son was headed back to in person school, and his sensory tent had lost it's zipper and he needed a new one. i'd be paid back w/in 2 mos.
up until about a month ago, i'd seen nothing. i wasnt worried, and assured her i was fine, didnt need it atm.
about 6 mos after, she came to me and said her hubs had been gambling online, and spent all their savings. the last time he was embezzling from his fam, it was for hookers. he's apparently also on the spectrum.
well, now i do. i let her know i needed it. after waiting, bugging her, and getting a quarter of it back, i msg'd the hubs on fb, saying i needed him to set up a payment plan. didnt answer my msg, but she came over and said- i cant believe you msg's him. iow- he chewed her out.
i've given her 30 days, or i go to small claims.
here's the ??? i dont know what pro org he is registered w, but is this a valid thing to complain to said board? seems like an accountant who cant pay his bills is a problem.
frr, i suspect trying to sabotage the friendship.
Mo, after reading numerous posts of yours, I have a question. Why do you constantly associate with these shady ass characters? Are you just a magnet for the weirdos? Wait. I feel like I know the answer..

4. in the future, i will be fine.
i'm in a temporary tight spot. i have empty rentals that i have put a lot of money into. i will be selling one of them and buying another, so i can catch up then.
but my savings are all but gone. it's been horrible trying to find help.
the house will go on the market on 9/1 or thereabouts and should sell w/in a week. hot market and a cute house.
i'm not writing anything off w/o a fight.
i have enough to take to small claims.
So, you own multiple properties. You are a Landlord. You Drive a Ford Transit Titanium Van. You have multiple thousands of dollars in commercial appliances in your basement. All this curtsey of the Vimeo Video that was posted.
Interesting. Wonder if the other Muppets know of your wealth. Hmmm
