No filter is good. What’s the point of restraining yourself anyway?

Thanks, A....Button.

Money is what separates us from the animals. Loaning friends money is usually a VERY bad idea. I loaned a very trusted friend $250, a couple months ago. I was promised it back in 2 weeks. It was for an expedited passport, as they got a summer internship in Melbourne. Didn't get the money back.... I'm in the process of getting a will done right now, and WAS leaving them enough money to pay off their student loans. When they get back, I'm giving two chances at offering me back the money. If not, their 50K in student loans will take a WHILE to pay off. Life is about doing the right and honest thing. And I'm a hard grader on such.

That's sad, especially if it happens with people you know and trust for a very long time. This is what I always say: it's their loss, and you clearly didn't mean that much. But mostly it's their loss.

I hope you get your money back. And not because of the material aspect of the situation.

And I also hope we can all sit and drink some beers (or whatever, I'm not picky ) after some Lindsey's solo concert (if there's ever one).

It is very sad. I've been having some health problems the past few weeks, and decided that it's finally time to get a will done(I've been trying to make myself do it for 3-4 years, but death is a hard thing to think about, at least for me).

If the friend doesn't pay me back, that $250 is literally going to cost them 50K. Because that's what I was leaving them(which is their student loan debt amount). They'll never know, because I won't tell them, but karma can be a bitch. DO.THE.RIGHT.THING, kids.

Heck yes! Lindsey is the only one I'll be supporting now, and I hope you hit some of his Midwest shows! Dinner and drinks!

I hope it's just a health scare. We will talk about it privately.

Yeah, I'm definitely trying to do the right thing, and who knows, maybe you friend is lurking The Ledge and now knows what he/she's missing.

I haven't yet visit the Midwest, so it's definitely a choice. Now more than ever.

Thank you, my friend.

I take this all with a grain of salt. Was Lindsey "abusive"? Maybe. Did Stevie deserve it? Probably. Did she dish it as good as she got it? Most likely. Did anyone care 40 years ago? No. Would they both do it again? You betcha. They deserved each other then, they deserve to be unhappy now. Fame ruined them both. Beautiful people with beautiful problems. Stick them in a trailer park and they would fit right in with Trailer Trash. The only difference it their money and talent.
But... thats why we love them right?
