Forgive me if you've already addressed this, but are you absolutely certain it was Andy you were talking to?

My bet is on Judge Crater with a lisp.

[The Right Stuff]

What is your take on what's going on?

[Krodg]

Good grief, I have been asked to not post my findings until your big scoop!! Ta da!!!, you give us confirmation from a member who confirms everything andy says. Yeah, I'll believe you next time!

[PJ-Comix]

I'm glad the meds are working. Do they make you tired? And watch your diet and caffeine too!

Nope they don't make me a bit tired. That was one thing I was worried about but no tiredness at all. I am watching my diet but I MUST have my coffee. That is something I CAN'T give up. And with my BP coming down so dramatically I guess the coffee won't be a problem.

"How come Andy Stephenson would get on the phone with a DUFU freeper"

If I were a DUmmie and I found out Andy actually did come clean with speed but not with DUmmies, I would be po'd. What a slap in the face to the DUmmies.

We can be artists, con-men, surgeons, ballerinas, warriors, lawyers, all at once, without the effort required in reality to be any of these things.

Cyberspace may be a small world but it offers a universe of opportunity for predators and their partners; or one predator who can have a hundred different identities.

What is written, what DU posters wrote, what Andy wrote, the SDHS Washington State medicaid records, a record of donations, their origins and final disposition, the records of hospitals in Seattle, the records at Paypal, Amazon and compuserve, are the only facts that can be viewed with judicious objectivity.

We can have ideas about the facts, but they are our ideas not to be altered by anything that we can't see for ourselves, or hear.

I wrote my interpretation of the facts in post #683 on this thread. Reports of Andy's appearance at Johns Hopkins, the reversal of the communal miracle that cured Andy's cancerous pancreas so that Andy must have surgery on May 26, might be a divine favor granted to the DUer who prayed that Andy had cancer so all the dissension on DU would go away, but they don't change my interpretation of the written words of Andy and his cohorts.

What time did you speak to Andy?

[franksolich]

Well, I think speed_addiction made the same mistake I made about, oh, 20,000 "comments" ago--but that however should not deter from that this is a shakedown, a fraud.

speed_addiction made a claim without checking it thoroughly first (which I had done, so long ago)--and we all do things like that.

I do not understand how we were duped, other than by ourselves.

As I mentioned when I apologized for my own mistake, God is a practical joker; when one thinks ahead too much, and thinks he has something all figured out, God puts a banana-peel on which one slips.

It appears someone allegedly the felonious Andy talked with speed_addiction on the telephone.....and so the gun was jumped.

The "story" still remains that given the dubious past of the felonious Andy, his track-record, this is a scam, and we have not yet (sorry) seen the end of it. I have no idea how this is to end; I only sense it is going to go on yet.

PJ, one thing I have done, is to cut the caffeine by putting half regular and half decaf into the coffee maker. I don't miss the caffeine that way, and it tastes pretty much the same. The 50% or Lite coffee you can buy, sucks! Try that, even if you start by cutting by 1/3 decaf. If you drink as much coffee as I do, it's worth it.

[Krodg]

I really want to believe that Speed wasn't duping us...

[speed_addiction]

So, maybe your posting this was just a bit pre-mature?:

I held on to that info since Sunday. Did they get cold feet? I don't know. I know that if someone has never been arrested or jailed before and it looks like something may blow up in their face, they would be curious. Especially if I am taunting them with posts like, "Go for a deal, Dude! Go for a deal, for the love of God."

I have not said even once, that the fundraising was on the up and up. I just said the checks cleared and I spoke to Andy.

[hipaatwo]

Ok. Just keep an eye on it. And please add me to your ping list.

[PJ-Comix]

I don't think it was Andy on the phone. My bet is still on Judge Crater with a lisp.

[imskylark]

"At least they're not beating someone while they are here."

WHAT??!!

[Misty Memory]

Whew! Semi-caught up here, but now I have to leave for work. I'll read the next 1000 posts when I get home. LOL

[PJ-Comix]

Welcome aboard, PINGEE #675.

[txradioguy]

You've got FReepmail.

Maybe not, but you did say you knew how it was going to turn out, and it involved someone going to the feds. I guess you are saying you don't know if that happened?

[speed_addiction]

What time did you speak to Andy?

At 12:15 I went to the convenience store next door to my station to buy a pack of smokes. At 1:00 I went to pick up a car to be detailed. Around 12:30. In fact, I was on the phone with the freeper who had looked into the checks when Andy called me on my cell.

[PJ-Comix]

But if I can get my BP below 130/80 why cut the coffee? It looks like my BP will get that low. I just can't cut down on caffeine. It is my lifes blood. I remember one time I had a HORRIBLE headache. A friend of mine asked if it wasn't because I hadn't had my morning coffee yet. She was right. I went right over to a nearby cafeteria and ordered a large coffee. I SWEAR that coffee was STILL in my throat and hadn't even hit my stomach yet when that headache INSTANTLY went away.
