[QUOTE="Lil, post: 655495, member: 17309"] That wasn't me. Our landlord doesn't call us. So... After he thought on it, this morning Jabber said okay. So...I texted him this morning and told him we wouldn't give him the $30, but we'd let him earn it by coming over today and do yard work, etc., that we were going to be in church and would contact him after noon. Three missed calls later (my ringer was off) I see a voice mail. He basically starts with my offer being "eff'd up", he didn't know how to talk to a prosecutor himself (don't know where that came from, I get the impression he doesn't want to do the community service) and basically it was he didn't want to do any effing yard work...he thought it would be a "nice gesture" for us to loan him the money. I went into an empty room. I called him. He answered and I said, "Fine. Go to jail then. We're not giving you the money." He started in swearing again about being woken up by that effing woman and I said, "I'm hanging up, turning off my phone and telling Dad to turn his off. Don't you dare call the church." He hung up before I got all that out. He actually showed up at church and Jabber told him to leave. Thank God I was off having a mini-meltdown in a classroom and didn't see him. I'm embarrassed enough to know he showed up in front of everyone there. So...then I sent him a long text that basically said, 1) talk to the prosecutor in court, call the clerk and ask when. 2) we don't want to see or talk to him today. Maybe tomorrow, if he can show some respect. 3) he still has an apartment, even if he doesn't have power, he can still sleep and bathe (hot water is provided by the landlord), and 4) I still love him. He had the nerve to text back and ask if he could still come for Game of Thrones. I texted back, "We'll record it." So...there it is. He blew it. We aren't giving him the $30. At the moment I can't imagine relenting and letting him earn it. Maybe he'll go to jail. Maybe he'll convince the PA and judge to give him more time. Don't know. [/QUOTE]
