[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 165145, member: 3485"] Well, Erica relented after only one night and let J come back there. Erica tends to talk a tough game but give in easily. The incident did seem to shake J up though. She's been on (relatively) good behavior since. I think it's too soon, but wife is letting easy child 1 spend the night over there tonight. At least Erica can be relied on to not let J leave easy child 1 there and go out, or have anyone over, or drink or do drugs. easy child 1 will be allowed to stay up 'til all hours and watch inappropriate TV (Sex and the City, Family Guy) though. I wonder what y'all think of this: J is working for Erica. Erica has a "real estate investment partnership" that she runs out of her house. She paid a hefty fee to attend a "seminar" or "school" of some kind to learn this real-estate investing business. Now, apparently, she makes money not by buying and selling property but by recruiting more people to go attend these seminars. So it is a Ponzi scheme, by all appearances. J's job is to make calls to prospects to schedule appointments for Erica and her partner (of whom I know nothing at all) to give them the hard sell on signing up for the seminar, I gather. Supposedly they split $1000 for each attendee who they talk into signing up. J has yet to see any money and frankly I'd be surprised if she ever does. So I'm wondering how long before the shoe drops. But, it is out of my hands, I am staying completely detached. If she makes $10,000 a month (that is the figure that was mentioned to her) more power to her. Just out of curiosity, though, do any of you guys know anything about this sort of scheme? [/QUOTE]
