Well I thrived at the Brewery last night, aside from being thirsty (since I don’t drink beer.) Next time I’ll know I can take a beverage and my pup if I wanna. Not only did my friend’s band Bob Marston & the Burly Earls play an amazing night, but I got to meet some awesome folks that perhaps will be checking out this blog.
If you’re here, welcome it was a genuine pleasure to meet everyone I met last night. It somewhat gave me a renewed faith in the human race that we can actually just all be human and treat each other with dignity and respect.
Since being single again, I have made the mistake of getting on dating apps and that completely crushed my faith in humanity. I had one man approach me on IG of all things, with this story of being Australian but living in Ireland due to the tragic death of his parents. Initially, I was hesitant to even bother talking to him but I decided if I walled myself off I’d never meet anyone.
Very very long story short after months of talking his birthday was coming up and I couldn’t find anywhere in his hometown to send him a gift so I was just going to cashapp him some cash. Well apparently there was an issue with his account so he had me send it to a colleague. Well the second I sent it it bounced back as potential fraud (which I suspected.) Less than a week later after guilting me about the gift not being large enough, he started trying to con me into sending my entire mortgage payment because he had a “crisis.” He promised to repay the money at the end of the week and the begging was persistent. But I stood my ground and didn’t give in. He finally confessed that not only was he NOT the person in the pictures he’d sent he was 18 and from Nigeria. Then he STILL wanted me to “be in love” with him. I have ZERO stomach/tolerance for liars. This was the first of 3 men that tried the same thing all ending in the exact same confession.
This was just the beginning of the string of “men” trying to con me in some way or another, which I may get into in another post. It’s Sunday and now I have to decide what to do today. I woke up early as always, had my time with the “Father”, read my 10 pages and went for my walk.
Now what? I’m open to suggestions.
