If You Don't Have Anything Nice To Say......

Don't say it at all.....

That's what we teach our kids, right? I've been pretty quiet of late -- well --because -- all the topics in which I desire to write about aren't -- yes, you guessed it -- nice....

And actually, there's really only one topic I desire to spew about, and that would be, yes, the ex partner - David Tieman from Tieman's Fusion Coffee....

Here's my deal: In good faith we formed a partnership. In good faith we lent him money to pay his personal bills. In good faith we extended WAY too much money into the company. In good faith we agreed to a buy out. And here we sit, eight months later, with not even a cent nor a peep from him, his law firm, or anyone else associated with him.

The irony of it all is -- we have not been part of this company for the past 11 months, yet we are the only one paying the debt for it. In good faith we believed, since he was so adamant about buying the company, that he would honor his agreement. But men with NO honor don't care about holding up their agreements.

We are in such a financial straight jacket at the moment. Actually, more like a financial guillotine, and we're frantically trying to prevent someone from pulling the lever that ends it all. It's hard not to funnel the focus, and so much anger, on the one with whom we feel caused all of this. Yes, we went WAY too far out on a limb, we should have never extended ourselves the way we did - we acknowledge so and take responsibility for our part of where we find ourselves right now, but we did it all... In good faith...
