My apologies. The sentence "since you seem determined, hire one" led me to believe you were implying we were determined to hire an escort, and were only coming here for pointers and validation. Reading it again, I can see what you really intended.
As you can see, once again text leaves a lot to be desired in conveying true meaning. I said I was giving you the benefit of the doubt here and I sincerely meant it, but to you it sounds defensive.
Again, I apologize, but after reading the pasting I've gotten on this thread, can you really blame me?
Whatever happens, I'll be happy to PM you, but start a thread with a title like, "Our Experience With an Escort"? I think not. I can just see the dozens of sarcastic slurs about venerial diseases, prostitution stings, appearing on Cops, etc. No thank you.
