all of your posts were well put BL. boy they really tore some of us apart on here!! thank you for balancing that out dear... also, i will say that when im with my clients who ive seen regularly (who i call friends) we talk about anything and everything and anyone they choose to talk about and same on my end (if its relative to our conversation period) my convos w each client are in confidence anyway... whatever happens, happens...im not one to go on and on about a client or a provider during my date, however, i also am not angel enough to say "oh please do not go any further, i simply just dont want to hear any of your venting, opinions, or even gossip...good or bad" lol...like i said whatever happens, happens...its all in confidence w my client friends...now for those i just meet, its very different...much lighter i would say..
