Carrie, I believe that in any relationship including the hobby either person is entitled to ask any question and receive an answer. That as a basic position I also believe that "that none of your bussiness" is an acceptable answer. Originally Posted by Bull149I agree.

But he would not. let. go. of it, no matter where I tried to steer the conversation.
I honestly think part of it was all the alcohol ... which was also making me uncomfortable regardless of his personality! He did indeed have several extremely positive references, and the lady who had texted him is someone I know has good taste in clients as we've traded references previously.
