    One,
    I was in such a paniced survival mode, I fled. He was still trying to get me to go back to court to get the rest of my belongings. I left without them!!! Never to be seen or heard from again! GAME OVER!!!!! If I can replace it or live without it, then I don’t need it!!
    As far as his heart you are correct. BUT I do hope I left some skid marks on the hwy to make people question his mask!!!

    NCz:
    I had a judgement against Bus. Spaths…..AFTER THEY sued me?!
    I found out he had a computer at a repair shop here in town…..My friends own it…..I happened in there one evening, saw them working late…..I had the urge to warn them about this guy and wife……So I asked, Do you happen to know B. Spath?
    She goes……UGH….Yes, he is a pain in our ass…..he ows us money, he won’t pay for this damn laptop we did work on….and he accused us of stealing the power cord too.
    I said, Oh, you still have the computer? She said, yep…..we gave him until tomorrow to pick it up…..just get it out of our shop……we won’t even charge him, but never come back!
    I said….Oh, can you delay that a bit…..I’m going to have it seized as part of my judgement.
    I called the constable in the am, he prepared the paperwork, judge signed it, and took backup enforecements to the computer shop and seized the computer.
    I sat across the street in another shopping center with my binaculars watching it all go down…..B. spath never showed up.
    He called the shop later to make arrangements of pickup…..and they told him the police had picked it up earlier.
    He went down there and rant and raved……and they served him the paperwork…..and he says….well…it doesn’t matter…..it was stolen anyways.
    It turned out….he stole it from his employer in Vegas, so they got it back, once they filed a police report for G. theft.
    Which I was very happy about…..didn’t matter to me…..as long as HE didn’t get it.
    The way it works is…..I woulnd’t have gotten his computer….it would of been sold at auction and what it fetched would of been given to me and taken off my judgement……proly $50 bucks……
    He then started going into a cafe and putting viruses on their public computer and hacked it……until they booted him out. The cafe was own by a cop…..so we all had a nice chat with him and he looked into the history of what this guy was doing on his computer…….and it wasn’t good.

    To all Lovefraud Bloggers:
    We all have our stories and mine is no different. My ex s/p is on Plenty of Fish and looking for a new fish to hook. He lied to me from the moment he said his name. He will probably lose his job next year and needs someone to provide medical insurance for him – so he is on the hunt. There are places to post names and pictures – however, just be cautious. Google, Dog Pile, etc., scour the internet for information and post it (I can actually Google my Czarinamom name and it caches the information to Lovefraud). So, just be careful, because if the s/p or someone that knows that person looks up the name – it will go back to you and I am not sure of any legal repercussions that could happen (like them trying to get you for slander).

    Love to all

    ErinBrock. That computer prank was very amusing.

    I kind of got my own back on spath too – in a small way. Going against the grain of everything I hold dear I actually lied to him at the end. Boy o boy it felt good to knock the wind out of his sails. I had always been truthful with him but at the end I really didn’t care. So I told a few whoppers – it was a kind of payback for all the shite he’d fed me. He was reeling….he didn’t see it coming and could not believe that I would do it to him!

    I’m not a vengeful person but I had the last word for once and it felt good.

    Some dating sites offer to screen people on their site. Not true.

    Years ago I was on this Web-dating site. This site claimed to screen people. It claimed this and that.

    The guy who was emailing seemed ok. Then I got an email from his girlfriend who said she is in fear for her life. She emailed a link to a newspaper article.

    This guy pulled a gun on her and it made headline news.

    I blocked him.

    He created a new profile to contact me. Once I realized it was him I blocked him again. He created another new profile. I figured out it was him. It was this Ricky.

    I notified the dating site and nothing.

    Everytime this guy changed his profile and contacted me I notified the site again. Nothing.

    This guy scared me bad. His last email to me. He wrote that he is coming to look for me.

    I deleted my profile. That was the last of that guy.

    In the meantime I met Jim.

    I can’t blame the dating sites for meeting Jim because in this small community I was already running into Jim. I just wasn’t noticing. But, I’m sure Jim noticed! He noticed that meek and mild women he could bully out of money for years to come. And he could cover it up by saying I bully and control him.

    The p was just on this “safe” site last year…married to me. So I don’t know. I think I’ll look out for myself in these matters, expecting that someone else had my best interest in mind is how I got in the mess I’m in now…
    Most(all?) dating sites are looking for money,,,first ingriediant for looking out for who? They are profiting from our misfortunes, not our success. They do NOT have the peoples best interest at heart, (in my opinion).
