My too young movie trauma was The Odessa File. [link] I still have nightmares about Nazis rounding up people.

my poor father. back in '05 he cosigned for my cousin to get an apartment because he'd been living with my grandmother who passed away and had no credit. cousin resigned a lease in '06 without needing my father as a cosigner. short story, cousin moved out and broke the lease, apartment complex came after my father, my father told them exactly what i posted above, landlady says dad signed something that said he'd be responsible for the lease at any point if my cousin defaulted. so, even if my cousin had lived there 20 years and then did something like this, they could still come after my dad.

dad was served court papers. cousin was not because they didn't have an address for him. dad was out of the country having his prostate cancer procedure when the court date happened. cousin claimed they would take care of the amount due before court. he didn't. the courts ended up taking $1200 out of my parent's checking account. cousin is now being an (unsurprising) ass and saying he's only responsible for the $1076 that the lawyer told him he owed. the other $124 is my dad's responsibility because "that's the price you pay for cosigning for someone" and my dad "blackmailed him into getting that apartment in the first place".

UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE!!! i told mydad he needed to take him to court if he didn't pay. i wouldn't let him get away with it. people suck. families suck.

tiggy that sucks.

I still have nightmares about Nazis rounding up people.

Well at least they actually did round up people. I seem to a think a shark might attack at any time, even in fresh water.

Tiggy, that's horrible.

tiggy, what an dickhead! I hope your dad can get the money out of him.

whoa, tiggy. that's terrible.

YIKES awful.

Hivemind question.

"Last week's items" correct? in a report on project status. the apostrophe looks weird to me.

thanks, everyone. he already feels like he should have BANK tattooed on his forehead the way everyone comes to him for money. it'd be nice for people to actually appreciate him.

at least before this happened he found out that the insurance company is going to reimburse him for all but about $1600 of the procedure.

looks right to me, msbelle. "week's" is showing possession of "items".

Sorry, tiggy. That's really nasty.

I started back to grad school (MSN in nursing, education track) yesterday. Today I referenced paperdol's book in a couple of my required posts. I so totally identify with Impostor Syndrome. After two years of successfuly pursing my MSN online, I'm now facing F2F professors and students. I just know they're going to realize I'm no good at this.

Bobbi, you rock! I missed that you were another back-to-school type. (And yes you are good at this.)
