And skeezers can be a vengeful bunch. I can see scum like them trying to get you kicked out of there as the culmination of a series of loans where they end up owing you $200 or so. You really want to stay away from skeezers. <br /><br />alex carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458022111793552536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650160678722829210.post-11370149224460303852017-01-27T19:14:46.647-06:002017-01-27T19:14:46.647-06:00Rose and Ed have been money in the bank on the fir...Rose and Ed have been money in the bank on the first of each month, them offering to pay me back double makes me think that the 20 dollar bill I might bring home at the end of a night which is at the end of a month becomes one of the only ones in the building...<br />But, as Shakespeare wrote, neither a borrower, etc. (I had thought that was Ben Franklin, when you quoted it before).<br />But, yeah, they could probably pawn their car title at a better rate than 100% (over 7 days! the APR on that would be 1,000% I think) unless they already have...<br />I think anyone with a spare 20 sitting in a jar on the refrigerator would take the opportunity to double it in a week; I just might be the only one here with cash on the 27th of any given month if I make any busking...Daniel McKenna IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04157964564856145960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650160678722829210.post-24295191530874247822017-01-26T21:48:56.147-06:002017-01-26T21:48:56.147-06:00And .... now you know why ghetto pawn shops and lo...And .... now you know why ghetto pawn shops and loansharks charge so much; it's because they have to when dealing with skeezers and skanks like Rose and Ed. <br /><br />I once lived in a neighborhood where you were either a wetback or white trash, and the white trash were certainly amusing. "Why aren't you all tatted up?" was about the 2nd thing one of 'em, holding a perpetual garage sale across the street, asked me after we met. One guy has a POS Harley (redundant, I know) he'd kick and kick and kick for 15 minutes or so trying to get it going in the morning, and there was a sort of "sea" of TVs of questionable origin (stolen) guitars of mysterious background (stolen) and such things floating around, with someone always buying something from someone else, with money to be paid on Tuesday etc. <br /><br />The wetbacks were not that interesting, they just worked for a living. alex carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458022111793552536noreply@blogger.com
