Well she might be wrong. I think it was inherited money.

Ten thousand might not be a large sum of money if you're making an investment like buying a house or a business.

However, ten thousand dollars just to enjoy an ephemeral carnal night of pleasure does sound like a substantial amount to me, but either you have Warren Buffet's money or more likely, just like to pretend to the board that you do.

I think that banks also signal that they consider 10 K to be a significant amount by virtue of the controls they have set in place to track certain accounts automatically when the inflows or outflows amounts exceed ten thousand dollars.

I think Spitzer was aware of those limits and tried to fly under the radar to avoid detection, but still flew too close to the limits and arose suspicions.

With his resources, he would have been wiser to have hired a trusted assistant who's job it was to set up appointments than to book them himself.

I have never had a man cheat on me so I really don't know how I would react to all of this. In my real life I can't stand to have attention drawn to me. The public humiliation of it would be horrifying. For me it would be more embarrassing that he was caught with an escort than having an affair. Either way his wife lost the luxury of dealing with this in private.

Yep, his old man was in the commercial real estate business and Eliot also made some bucks there. A very bright guy who was on the fast track until he let the little head do the thinking.

Hate to burst your bubble, but...how do you know??? Unless, of course, you've never been in a relationship with a male SO?

The fucking guy was loaded. 10k is not chit when you have what he has. It might sound like alot to you but it really isn't in relative terms. That was my point.

I am not trying to pretend shit. How well I do is not your or the boards business and I was not trying to make it so. Was that clear enough for you?

[Fast Gunn]

Temper!

The way you phrased your statement left the clear impression that you, not Spitzer could drop ten grand on some nooky without breaking a sweat.

I guess your response cleared up that misconception!

Burst my bubble? Charles you are giving yourself way to much credit. I don't feel like I need to give you an explanation and I will continue to stand by what I said. It's very sad that you aren't able to believe that there are couples out there that don't cheat.

The "how do you know?" question was rhetorical. I wasn't really looking for an explanation. Just trying to point out that no matter how well you think you know your SO, there is always room to be wrong. I'm sure Mrs. Spitzer, Mrs. Edwards, Elin Woods, and Mrs. Sanford all felt their SOs were not cheating on them...up to the moment they found out otherwise. The same could happen to you. I sincerely hope it doesn't, but to say that it never has belies reality, IMHO.

Nope, the original list is there. But I scan posts, too. I know eyes can do that damned skip thing.
