Hoda,
OK You are correct. There are many here with a greater knowledge than Jake about Brazil. However he is currently in this process with a women from Brazil and he could give very valuable information about those who would like to do the Brazil thing.
So I give you that one. And I give you another.
You have been more than fair with me. Despite my stupid and sometime quick temper. You were gracious in the past and that is why I respect you now. We both are strong willed men with much drive and we slapped each other around before. But we both also realized that we are stronger when we stand together than when we are apart.
Let me say that I respect you and admire you in many ways.
And I feel the same about Jake. I got to know him and I can tell you he is a very compassionate, decent human being.
He is adopting another man child and that my friend takes big balls.
He has earned my respect for his actions.
Just like you. He is a decent caring man.
You are not wimp and neither is Jake. He is a man with his own set of issue just like us all.
So let's all take a chill pill and see if we can move this along into something productive.
How about I negotiate a true and we start from scratch.
If you can forgive me you can forgive him.
He has not asked me to do this and I am doing this without his permission but what if he and you both do a cyber hand shake and we all just go back to the real purpose of this board.
That's trying to help each other. Trying to learn from one another.
You Sir are a big man with a big heart.
Remember Hoda. Only when we forgive can we get forgiveness.
Peace hermano. Peace.
