Nowhere in your post do you mention that you got a dated and signed IOU for the loan. That was a mistake, even between friends. When I was in the military service, I made a loan to a friend who later transferred to another base. After waiting several weeks for him to repay the money, I sent the IOU he had signed to his base commander with a letter explaining the circumstances and had the money returned in short order.
IOU isn't bad. I sometimes trust my friends too much...or assume everyone has the same ethics as I. My mistake

I added a piece to this (probably while you were commenting)...that a mutal friend, who went and got him out of jail, called him 2 weeks ago and asked if paid me back. She called him out (she is a much tougher cookie than I). She said he hasn't called her since.....now the three of us always talk at least once a day.
he clearly isn't willing to face his responsibilities, but my guess is he thinks it will all be peaches and cream again once he does gets around to paying me. Those actions are actions by people I don't like. Ya know?

I feel for you.. every time I loan money to family or friends in need, (Yes sometimes Jail is involved.) the money I loan them always seems to develop amnesia, and I never see it again. I always say that a one sided friendship is no friendship at all. do whatever you have to to get your money back before he forgets about it completely, and then cut all ties with him. Good luck.
LOL. If anyone could have steered me in the right direction, I thought for sure it would be you!
I put it out in the universe today (on the blog) - not sure why, just needed to and guess who called? Yup he says he is coming by tomorrow with all but $100 of it, and could I wait another 2 weeks for that?
I am glad he is doing the right thing, if for no other reason my selfishness that I don't have to carry around a negative remembrance of him
I put it out in the universe today (on the blog) - not sure why, just needed to get it off my chest.....and he called a this evening. (he doesn't know I have this blog so it was pure coincidence) He is coming by to pay me most of what he owes me and will do the rest in a couple of weeks.
Maybe you should blog about this amnesia money loaning you have experienced and see if maybe the universe is working in everyone's favor.
Silver linings...
Rule one...NEVER leave the phone on after you go to bed.
If they are dead, they can wait..If they are dying, they are best helped with a doctor, the same goes for injury.
Unless you have the money to throw away, never bail some one out, especially for a DUI.
At least he's finally doing the right thing.
I feel so much better. I hate the feeling of losing a friend over such crap!
