Wow. Just... wow. This sounds like something straight out of Big Bang Theory!

Unfortunately, it's a bit too late: unless we're really lucky, that 68-year-old dumbass has probably spread his genes around...

That fucking BITCH!!!!

I sent her 100 grand over the last 17 months.

She said the child was mine and we'd never (ya know....actually) met (I gave the benefit of the doubt).

I rarely watch DrPhil, but I caught an episode last month about this middle aged women who believed the story about her unmet internet romance. They showed her IP info, they showed her google research on his name.. and his aliases, they waited on his response but of course though he knew they were calling, never answered. I think she spent 79,000 on that guy. And regardless of the evidence of his deception, she denied, denied, denied that he could be anything but the Mr Wonderful she knew him to be.
Ya know...I have been cheated on, lied to, and deceived, but I always knew what it was and that it was MY deal whether or not to accept it. I never lied to myself about what was really going on, or deluded myself as the guy in that article, or that stupid woman on DrPhil.

It's amazing how he thinks that because he knows physics, he's smarter than everyone around him. Look at the trail of incriminating emails he left. He was a raw novice dealing with experienced narcodetectives and thought he'd easily fool them.

Status: offline 		The pro model bit reminds me of realtuffdom's immortal words regarding Jessica Alba.


quote:

ORIGINAL: realtuffdom

Okay, this slave girl writes me and says she wants to serve me. So, I do what any natural dominant guy would do and I send her a picture of my cock. She then says she really wants to be owned by me. But while I'm writing back to her, my mom comes into the room and tells me to go get the laundry out of the dryer and fold it, so I don't get a chance to write her back.

But that's okay because I then make contact with another girl who is really hot. She looks a lot like Jessica Alba, and she has pictures on her profile that are identical to pictures that Jessica Alba has posed in. I just find it amazing that she can reproduce a look like Jessica Alba, including everything in the background, including other movie stars who were standing behind the real Jessica Alba in the original photographs. So, I send her my standard email: "Do you want me to dominate you? Check yes or no." She checks yes and sends it back.

Okay, so what I need to know is should I then create a contract with a contract specialist I see advertised on late night TV, or should I play it aloof and kind of string her on as I make excuses why we can't meet in my dungeon yet? And how long should I wait? Is three days too long? Should I require her to move in with me, even though she lives in Ghana?

Did you read the whole NY Times article? It was clear to me from his calculations and his texts that he knew. Sure this guy may be prone to random calculations, but I'm not buying that using the almost exact weight of the drugs he was carrying was a coincidental calculation.

I've had about enough of his irresponsibility with (our) money, and I wonder if he's going to be able to support us in the manner to which we've become accustomed.

Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.”

And ya know, I agree with the topic. Let people get "baptized".

Status: offline 		LOL My first supervisor had that philosophy. Which is part of the reason why he is no longer my supervisor. The supervisor I have now actually started the program, left when he got a promotion but was asked to take over the program again when my old supervisor made such a mess of the program after 3 years. He's been back for 4 years. I've worked there for nearly 5. We make a good team.

I hardly ever saw my original supervisor, even when I first started on the job. He never taught me anything about what to do and I was lucky if I saw him once a month. And when the job changed from peer specialist to psych rehab, he gave me the documentation forms and told me to figure it out. It took the supervisor I now have hours upon hours of diligent patience to teach me how to document my work along with everything else he's taught me over the years. I see him at least once a week and we communicate almost every day one way or another--often even if one of us isn't working. He'll often bother me early in the morning and I often bother him late into the evening. More often than not it is me bothering him because of stress and because he knows I'm not a morning person and he doesn't like getting me up unless its a real emergency. I usually text him in the evening when I'm stressed and he knows that he doesn't need to respond, that I'm just blowing off steam but I have nobody else to blow off steam to about certain things without violating HIPPA laws--which I just got a huge reminder of in a training. So sometimes he responds, sometimes he calls me, sometimes he just ignores the text because he knows I'm blowing off steam and he's busy with family or friends and doesn't want to bothered with my drama.

One great thing is that we agreed today that we both like our job at the Lodge. One of the reasons we both like our jobs is that even though the guys are 18-20 years old, they all act like they're 4. It makes it so easy to connect with them sometimes.
