ORIGINAL: ShiftedJewel Well, that's got to be a first. Normally it's my pocket that gets emptied for traveling expenses... I'm thinking that may be one of the countless things I'm doing wrong. But then again, lessons are one thing, but expensive lessons stick. Jewel I've done enough traveling and taking time off work only to either find someone that totally misrepresented themself or not have them show up at all. Now, it is "you find a way to get your ass here, let me know when you are, then and ONLY then, will I will try to find some free time to spend with you." OR..........."Send me tickets and cash for a vacation to someplace I really want to go, with my own private accomodations". Right now, that would have to be someplace sunny and warm. Yep... I'm real up front about that now... I tell everyone the same thing. Until you show up at my front door you are nothing more then words on a screen and no... I do NOT believe a word you are saying until you show up and prove it. A few have surprised me and shown up. They seem to lack tenacity and staying power though. Amazing considering how many times I've been told how "tenacious" they are, how committed they are to sticking it out and really working to make it all good. Just more words on a screen I guess....lol I haven't considered the vacation though... there's a thought, maybe if THEY put the money out they would actually show up?? Jewel
