No worries...

Have you taken any of the legitimate courses or attended any of the professional schools listed in the FAQ section ? Compass Point, NIBE, NABEA, etc ?

No but I will. However, what I have done is taken the state's bail bond test. I passed it, so what I was thinking about doing is writing bonds and doing recovery. I think it will be the best. The way the economy is going right now .Wardy Landrau

No problem RWB not trying to bring my soap opera back up again, just once in a blue moon I log in to read all of the active topics on the forum as I have time. That's all, no offense intended
