good news

So there was an opportunity a couple of months back for my lady friend and I to embark on a risky but supposedly lucrative business journey, one which we considered and then turned down due to the inescapable amount of sleaziness coming from the propositioning lady of the job. We turned the job down after doing a couple of weeks of work on it, but she was very upset with us the whole time, for reasons that were, for the most part, her own doing, so it didn't seem to us that we needed to be involved anyway.

Well...come to find out, she has disappeared now, with who knows how much money and who knows how much debt to other people. She owes us some, but we didn't get too much into it, and really only for work we did, so we're not really worried about it. However, we do know someone that got VERY into it, even though we told them they probably shouldn't, and that the propositioning lady was a seemingly dishonest person; some might even have called her a "scam artist".

So this just goes to show, when it tickles your tummy (and not in the good way), don't let some smooth talking "New Orleans victim" talk you into something that sounds too good to be true, because it is.

Yay for us being smart!
