I can't believe things blew up like this.
What you said on ICQ about both of us misunderstanding each other was probably correct on a few issues, however your "facts" as they are posted here are not accurate.
Yes I did talk to you on ICQ upset about our electric bill. It was a very tough time for us, I was very upset, and I just needed someone to vent my frustrations to. As I told you on ICQ. I did not go to you looking for money.
Yes, you did offer to pay the bill for us, but at that time you weren't concerned with getting any money back. In fact, when I told you that we would pay you back, you told me not to worry about it because you didn't need the money. "What are friends for?"
So, Osiris asked me to ask you if you needed anything, if we could do anything for you as a thank you, yes, but also as payment to you since you didn't want the money back THE SAME DAY....NOT A MONTH LATER. And, yes, I did say that I still wanted to pay you back. But you, again, told me not to worry about it.
(Hell, honestly, if it were possible for me, I would have paid you back twice as much as you had given me because, at the time, I was touched by your friendship and what you had done for us.)
You said that you would need some hosted galleries...which he did for you.
Then you came back and said that your husband was mad at you for giving us the money and you would need to get it back from us. You weren't concerned with getting it back until then.
And THEN you came to me and said that you wanted to get an invoice for the galleries in case you got audited, so you could write the $200 off as a business expense. And said you didn't need anything from us. I(obviously mistakenly now) thought that meant you didn't need the money back anymore and that you were just going to write it off as a business expense.
How can I pay something back that I didn't know you still wanted? And I also don't understand why you would write money off as a business expense through an invoice when you were expecting the money back... If you got the money back, then what did you pay for the galleries? Nothing... So what's the use of the invoice....
Now You message me today saying that you've given me long enough to pay you back, when I didn't even know you were still expecting money.
When you contacted me, it happened to be a bad time as the baby was very cranky and throwing herself around because she was ready for a nap, which I told you immediately when you contacted me. So, I told you that Osiris would talk to you since I was dealing with her and it would probably be better for you to talk to someone who wasn't dealing with a cranky baby and who could better concentrate on what was being said and he said he wanted to talk to you anyway.
Now I come back to this.
You know what hurts Jennifer? The way the facts were distorted on the boards like this. The way you decided you had to up and post about this instead of waiting to talk to me when I had more time to talk to you.
And you know what? If you wanted to get real technical over who owes who what.... That job you got reviewing paysites through Kush.... I was suppose to get 5% off of everything you did. I am suppose to get 5% off of all the writing jobs you get through WT. And, yes, I do consider that you got that through WT since I posted on your behalf AND talked to Kush on ICQ.
You haven't paid me anything. But I never said anything because it didn't matter too much to me. We were friends and it wasn't that much money... Even though it WAS during the time we weren't doing so good. And I STILL didn't confront you about the money or take it to the boards.
And by the way FUCK YOU. I didn't twist your words around. I never do shit like that.
Thank you for showing me how much friendship is worth to you.
