What the fuck’s the difference?
Ribbing is fine but must you add this crap? It’s one retirement account and the money in there isn’t really mine until I actually retire.
Thus the reason behind the name change. My old one was too silly.
800?
Those were some horny nuns!
From the original thread:
So once it started to go south, you offered to pay back anyone who wanted it, meaning you’d be happy to keep the donations of anyone who didn’t. Tough to rewrite history when it’s still available, isn’t it?
None of it was used.
This thread has everything!
And now, a sentence I suspect has never before been used in the history of the English language. Ahem:
Could we, perhaps, move the rehash of the discussion of the baby bunny air conditioner financial malfeasance into a separate thread, so that we can get back to the subject of making fun of the 800 babies that died in the care of nuns?
Now I need to report myself for junior modding.
If you only have one retirement account then why did you write:
FYI, we have three retirement accounts. One from husband’s employer. Another from my employer. And a huge general retirement savings fund.
Who gives a flying fuck?
Dead babies in a septic tank!
That refers to my Thrift Savings Plan, against which I could apply for a loan (which would come due as a balloon payment should I lose my job). The others are a general retirement plan which all federal workers have by default (FERS) and, for sake of completeness, Social Security. Neither of which allows me to access money at all.
Let’s get the timeline straight. I’m not going to bother with links, because Lute’s original con job has been linked to like 400 times so far. I’m just going with post numbers.
Post 1
No mention of bunnies. No mention of loans. No mention of retirement accounts or overtime or any of the other bullshit you’d later spew.
A number of Dopers offer money, including one person who certainly was not in a financial position to send you anything–people comment on her generosity and your general scumminess later.
Post 10 contains the first hint of info about your bunny needing the AC. You also mention that you could have worked overtime for 3 months prior, but chose not to. And yet you’re in dire straits.
Post 11 mentions that you have an “absolute last resort that [you] really prefer not to touch.”. This is after several dopers have posted that they’ll contribute.
Suddenly in post 18, it becomes clear that it’s not a life-or-death situation like you’d been implying, no you need the AC because “Along with the two of us are one rabbit, one cat, one hamster, and two birds, for which we’d perfer not finding the heat tolarance, either.”. After all–it might get up to 90[sup]o[/sup] in your house :eek:
It wasn’t until post 23, roughly 24 hours after your initial attempt at scamming kind-hearted Dopers that you grudgingly say “Anyone wanting to be paid back just need ask but likely will not be possible until at least a month from now.” So the money wasn’t just in PayPal ready to be transferred back.
You are an inept scammer, a con-man and kitty murderer.
My husband’s Irish. Am I or am I not allowed to criticize Ireland and Irish Catholicism on the basis of almost twenty years of marriage to him? I have never been sure about that. My husband’s brother does an obnoxious vaguely anti-Semitic accent around me. I’ve threatened matzo ball soup revenge on him multiple times over it.
The whole false charity thing is still bugging the hell out of me. I asked an old friend for a donation to a pro-vax charity the other day after we talked about my work on vaccines. She said no and then launched into a spiel about how all charities are nothing more than scams.
Sigh.
Looks at thread title
looks at post
wonders what post has to do with rotting rugrats
As I said last year:
If I just wanted the money, I’d have transferred it out of PayPal the first chance I got, right? But that never happened. It all remained in PayPal until refunded.
Wrong! Those who sent money can tell you everything was returned to them via PayPal’s refund process. As in never transferred out of PayPal.
800 is a hell of a career total. I wonder if ‘premature births’ is a euphemism for ‘the nuns did abortions and this was the place to go for one in Ireland from the 1920’s through 1961’?
Also, nobody has openly acknowledged Gatopescado’s
so I say, well done, lad!
From the article:
“young children aged between two days and nine years whose grave”
To take the side of the pro-lifers: 9 years is a hell of a long time to wait to get an abortion. I for one am against it.
Yeah, I was thinking more of the kids that were *listed *as being 2 days old, and where cause of death was premature birth.
I don’t know, some people just need more time. I think I can support abortion up until the 72nd trimester.
Let’s not forget it was Lute’s second Doper cash-grab in service of his pets. He had retirement accounts back then too, but he definitely kept the money that time.
From the same Salon article:
It’s not a horrendous and sick tragedy perpetrated by his Church-It’s just an historical marker that reads “Dead Baby Dump”
There seem to have been a number of reports over the years that the children at this place were extremely malnourished, that except for some that got adopted, they starved to death.
And I thought the Church’s history of raping children and (still) protecting those who covered it up was evil.
I have hopes for Francis, but he’s got to take stuff like this head on, and acknowledge the extent to which his church has been just plain evil.
