Ted: I had to send them a message yesterday about their opening page Ted: they screwed up saying that anyone signing in in the last 90 days would be taken off Ted: for inactivity Ted: instead of NOT signing in in the past 90 days Ted: and yes jrk_311: ah, yes. I thought that sounded odd. Ted: I am still looking Ted: unfortunately not many guys want to live with an old man jrk_311: Well, those guys are apparently not aware of what they're missing Ted: unfortunately not too much Ted: at my age i'm pretty much a pretty boring guy Ted: lived a too hectic life style most of my life jrk_311: Well, I have a feeling that you and I would get alond famously. I am very laid-back, drama free and just like to enjoy my time with someone I have common interests with, and just enjoy life in search of happiness. Ted: i'm still searching jrk_311: Most of us are. Ted: sure looks that way jrk_311: SO what would be the likelihood of you actually having me out?

Ted: unfortunately I had to learn the hard way and got fucked over a couple of times Ted: so no longer send tickets or money jrk_311: Well, I would never fuck you over, you can get a non-refundable bus ticket. Ted: those guys made it bad for others that are not scammers Ted: I would reimburse you once you got here jrk_311: yeah, that's pretty shitty. But like I said, u could purchase a non-refundable ticket that I would have to use to come to you. Ted: but can't send it up front Ted: sorry jrk_311: I do not have ANY way to get money for food, let alone a ticket. jrk_311: thats why this is such a dire need of mine Ted: if you read the opening page on the site Ted: they warn you about sending money or tickets jrk_311: well, I dont know what to say cause buying a non refundable ticket is fail-safe. Ted: not really since the ticket can be re-routed if not used Ted: costs about $50 bucks to do so jrk_311: No. there are tickets that you can buy that are only usable forwhat they are bought for. jrk_311: and cannot be exchanged or refunded. jrk_311: it's fail-safe. Ted: i'm sorry Justin , just won't do it again jrk_311: well, thats your loss I guess. jrk_311: thanks for wasting my time. Ted: that attitude will not get you too far Ted: have a good day jrk_311: haha said the old man. jrk_311: Goodbye.
