Thank you all for your help, which had some great ideas. Jim Dixon, I never thought of a collection agency. They don't break knees do they? As for outing him with relat- ives that seems too mean, and the newspaper ad is over the top.He doesn't have a phone or a car, and will not take my calls at work. I did write that The small claims papers were on the way, giving him time to pay up if he wanted to. No answer! I have every letter he wrote stating what an irresponsible cad he is and how ashamed he is of his conduct.Of all the people he knows I'm the one true person he has shared a special bond with. B.S! When I needed money one time, I looked around to see what I could sell. Dad's rifles! That tided me over. I found out he has an Andy Warhol pencil sketch.That has to be worth a few bob. You know folks, I just hate the idea That I was used, and by someone whom I thought returned my love. Thank you all.
