Don't trust people....sad but true...i hired a handyman...kinda inherited him with the last fourplex i purchased...decided to give him a shot....a couple of weeks later...found out he was on parole ...for drug possession..he begged and pleaded for a job...thought it is a god given opportunity to do some good in life...and guess what...2 months later...he had convinced a couple of tenants to pay rent in cash...and he walked with all cash...and he charged me for work not done...i called his parole officer who told me that since i did not have any formal employment agreement with him..the parolee could in fact sue me .and so i should drop it...apparently parolee had called the parole officer that i fired him because he did unapproved work...and i refused to pay him...i am SPEECHLESS!!

I am sure it will involve a lot of travel but when I want to sit on my tail and do nothing I don't want to feel guilty about it.

I'm guilty of putting it off and not always making it a priority.

But some users here on BP have been guilty of interchanging those two words despite their having such distinct meaning.Sure, we can read the posts here on the forum, and we can figure out the intentions of a piece of gibberish.
