Sandy,

I hear you about the retainer, I was able to pay hourly and avoid one , but it does add up quickly.

you are also right in keeping communication to a minimum. If he a change of heart (again) and if you are willing to listen, set boundaries and focus on his actions, not his words.

I went back and checked to see if I wrote my e-mail wrong. It's right, but here it is again. skdahnke@earthlink.net

Patience,

Steve
