I hardly believe that a few comments are going to put anyone out of business, unless there were already underlying problems in her life anyway. I was not then or now angry with her, but my only way of confronting her on this issue when she went forum. Hopefully now she can take the time to reflect on who she is and who she wants to be in the future, where she is and where she wants to go. The important thing is NOT if she returns to the "business", but as an individual to find happiness and contentment in life as a person. We all make mistakes in life and unfortunately we can't always carry someone else's pain when going through tough times. But the sun will shine again in her life, and I wish her well. I hope that her true friends will lift her up, but not carry her, and support her, but let her walk for herself through this period in her life. She will come out a stronger person because of it. As far as the "ladies" here, I really don't know how they can do it sometimes. Like an actress on Broadway that has to perform her 1000th show and still look like its her 1st, or an athlete giving their best when they don't feel like it. I have so much admiration for these ladies who have chosen this unique and difficult profession. When I came on the scene here, I saw Kristi and had an awful first experience. I didn't let it go, and told her how I felt in an email. To my surprise she emailed back with an apology not fully realizing her poor service. After a few back and forth emails, she asked for a second chance and I gave it to her. Several "hobbyists" here thought that I was nuts, but that is just the type of guy that I am. If someone comes forward and admits their mistakes, I fully forgive them and move on with a clean slate. I gave her that second chance. My second visit with Kristi was a 180* turnaround and she was outstanding. I never even mentioned the first visit as we made a fresh start. With Brooke if she ever does reappear on the scene, I would offer her a chance at a fresh start as well, even if we never even meet. I learned the hard way in life that holding grudges only eats yourself up inside and the person who upset you doesn't even know or care. Only time will tell now how this turns out with Brooke, again I wish her my best. (Note

my comments about "bitch-slapping" were figuratively not literally. I do not condone any physical abuse of ladies and I have never hit a girl, but I have slapped around a few guys who thought that it was okay to.
