I hope you do spend some time with him. I know it's not often that you get this chance, my love.

You're welcome ~

Oh yeah....they ALWAYS have a sick relative, usually a parent, who's in dire need of medical treatment...that's where the whole access to money part kicks in.

These guys are pretty slick but have NO imagination.  That's why they're so easy to expose.

We all have our addictions ~

Me?  I'm addicted to exposing date scammers.  You know, those guys who use the internet to lure unsuspecting women into believing they're in love with them and then fleece them for money.  Thes guys are easy to catch because they ALL use the same ploy; they're always in a white-collar profession making lots of money, always profess their love for a woman in another country whom they've never met, always do this over the course of a year or more, always send lots of intimate love letters that eventually get seen by LOTS of peope, always declare that they long to be with that woman but are having "trouble" accessing their money....and then they ask for financial assistance from the woman, either in the form of cashing some bogus check or supplying airline tickets or acquiring bank account information.

The good news is, there are lots of laws written against this sort of con artist and, as I said, they're VERY easy to spot.  So, I've become addicted to finding these scumbags.  Hahaha.  It's sorta fun.

scriber,
Do you think lawyers are not human beings that they can't be addicted to anything except their own profession. Thanks.

afzal, as a former blogging addict, let me just say that people, especially
family, are more important than blogging.  Having lost my mom in 2005, I realized that you can't take back lost time once it's gone.  I'm just glad I didn't let blogging take away time with my mom, though I could have spent more time with her still...Balance is wisdom.

Good observation.

Somehow this struck me as humorous. A lawyer addicted to blogging.

There was a time when I did everything around my blogging. I am no longer addicted to it, but it is a good way to unwind and socialize a bit. Have a great weekend.
