In all the years of my "Poker Career" if u can call it so - I have a strict not renting Money rule to any1 - i got burned once - lerned the lesson - that´s it.
If they nag or still ask just say u have a strict rule and its not possible, even though its hard sometimes but still - it wont affect ur mindset or anything if u have to hunt down ur loans...

"Something". This means I will definitely not get my money for at least another month. What is my move at this point in time?

Can anyone relate?

MTT - is it true? that the best way to never hear from someone again is to loan them money?

BTW if things are a little tight financially, I'd be happy to front you a few bucks until you can pay me back.

So I spoke to the guy. He said I need to watch my language and he will charge me for emotional damage (off the balance). I told him he's lucky his legs ain't broken for holding on to MY money against my own will. I also told him I will never ever lend him another dime. 20 minutes later he messages back apologizing and saying he was just joking.

Craggoo can relate. He once loaned $15 to Rob's Mum who was going to the grocery store. He gave strict instructions to Rob's Mum to bring back Cookies 'N Cream Icecream. That was the last time he saw Rob's Mum. (and his 15 bucks)
