I come here because I love your honest, straight forward style. I feel your pain, riding your emotional rollercoaster every post I read. <BR/><BR/>I hope this is isn't the way you present yourself to these agents. You've really got to sell yourself!

Don't take no for an answer, either. I never do. And don't send any bullshit letters or e-mails. You're big enough to pick up the blower and talk to someone.<BR/><BR/>And if you need help, call me.
