sounds like you'd better get in on the ground level of that sweet deal, ed. when you get your money, you can float us a loan!
ReplyDeleteBird,
ReplyDeleteThat's right! I would be a fool to let this opportunity to go by.
Another offer was waiting this morning - they must know I am a sharp businessman.
Sure, when I make all this money I'll float you a loan.
I read just a few days ago where some man in Washington State (I believe it was) just got took for $400,000+ in one of these deals. You just never can tell what some people will fall far. Also, I'm waiting on a follow up to your dealing with the water company over your water usage.
ReplyDeleteReuben,
ReplyDeleteA famous quote by Barnum I think:
"There is a sucker born every minute."
My water meter! Ah yes! It was resolved, in a way.... I will make a full report - coming up.
