yuck, and yet, somehow unsurprising. I'd say I'd want my money back at this point, but I think we all know how likely that is (are we going to get a sob story again?) If she'd just been paying you back $10 a month since the whole thing went pear shaped she'd have you paid off by now, but I guess that isn't worth doing.

also I am amused and vaguely grossed out that she'd get so uppity at you stating "nearly $1000" because honestly it seems like splitting hairs - I mean, really, does it make her look THAT much better? Not to mention I'd be willing to bet that most people would find the statement "nearly $1000" to be acceptably true/accurate since $900 IS nearly a thousand? and also a heck of a lot of people would say the difference is negligible in terms of getting defensive about such a statement.
