I've been awestruck and just smh a number of times since starting this "hobby" and more so over the last 4 weeks regarding a number of things that have taken place which has involved providers and clients alike. This has prompted me to ask the questions on more than one occasion " do they have any common sense at all ?" and "WTF are they thinkin ?"
I'll add the following and I'm sure, well at least I hope, others have additional "words of wisdom" to pass on to those in need.
