Ben needs Jerry's or George's phone number. Please call. 860-617-0553.

Thanks, Ben's aunt.
Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
Thanks
Ben

    Was he robbed and/or mugged ? Both suck, but one involves getting your rearend stomped.

    Good luck, Ben.

    I had that thought, but I would like to give him a couple more days to catch up with me. I copied it out so I have it if I need it. With everything going down, I would like to give him a couple days to catch his breath. If I haven't heard by then, I will give it a call.

    Didn't even have to read the post, yeah...your not the only one. I'd sure hate to think it though because Ben has always been a stand up guy with my dealings with him. That boy sure has bad luck, even though some may be self inflicted. Still, I wish Ben all the best and hope he can turn things around.

    Thanks, George. I have a feeling that it was his Atlanta house while he was away, which wouldn't surprise me. He's been gone for a while.

    If you're thinking "There's just no way anybody can be THAT unlucky" then I'm right there with you. Ben's been around a while so nobody wants to say it, I get that, but c'mon.

    I didn't want to believe it with Joe either, but we all know how that turned out.

    Exactly why I am just asking for some communication. I have emailed several times since Monday and called and left a message at the number above today. I know he has earned the benefit of the doubt, but with as much money and property of mine that he has, I also think I deserve some communication. At least let me know my property is safe and that he needs a week or 2 to get everything done. I think I am being reasonable.

    While I understand the sentiment and agree generally, the same was said of Joe and that situation did not end well.

    Someone who's been around here and contributed gets a pass...for a while. But at some point people have to be held accountable. If this is the first time with Ben then fine, he gets a pass, but I don't think thats the case.
