I had asked this before, but in a different forum, at a different time when the other home for us was still running....
Anyway, I consider myself a part time hobby guy. I like the hobby, but I find my time is constrained. Thus, when I do partake, it will always be multiple hours, if not longer.
But, because this is a part time hobby, I find that being screened is almost impossible.
1. I have references, but they are gone now, retired or whatever. So, for a provider to contact them is impossible. Also, I always loose the numbers.
2. I work for a really small company, so P411 it completely out of the question. This is because of the fact that I do not advertise. And a strange person calling, starts rumors.
So, my question to providers and others, is there some other way to screen?
Also, why is my work so dang important to the screening process?
Sorry, just a rant to boot. My current situation does not allow me to partake in most of the lovely ladies that come thru here.
