You're one of the few that "get" it. Thank you for the thread, thank you for the laugh and for being such a gentleman and intuitively knowing just exactly what would make me smile; I will be delighted add some quality time (on my dime) to your next booking when I return.
That was the nicest thing anyone has done for me in a long time. You read my comment (in another thread), got the "joke", and did exactly what I asked - and you had the balls to do it, knowing full well I believe, that I would in turn "get" what you so astutely "got" - and appreciate you for it . . . and I do.
I like a man with the intelligence to make me laugh THAT hard . . . like I said, I owe you.
You're A-OK in my book, baby.
Guys, take a cue (or a lesson if you desire), because the Captain apparently knows the secret to my heart . . . For all of you that thought I would dare carve him up for doing exactly as I asked (jokingly, in another thread, as I mentioned), you really don't KNOW me at all . . . What he did, was, well . . . superlative.
Kudos to you Captain, you truly ARE a gentleman.
Kisses,
- Jackie
PS: I have never NC/NS'ed ANYONE in my entire career . . . I have had "shit happen" at the last minute (just like everyone else has) and I have had to cancel with precious little time left until a scheduled appointment was to begin, but, I have always given notice (as much as possible given every circumstance - it isn't difficult to pick up a phone and just be honest and polite), and I have always gone out of my way to make it right with my client. Always. That's how I run my business; that's a part of what the Captain "gets". And BTW, it doesn't happen often (a last minute cancellation on my part) . . .
