Donna you are such a sweet and wonderful person! I am so sorry this "friend" took advantage of you. I hope you get your money back some how.

Donna, it's past time to break the "friendship" w/this person. She's reached her sell by date. Someone told me something years ago and I've never forgotten it: the first time you're taken advantage of, you're a victim. After that, you're a volunteer. Apparently, this person has done things like this to you repeatedly. Don't volunteer to set yourself up again. Someone like her doesn't learn. Don't put yourself in the same category. Live and learn.
