I'd heard bad things about NCNS and cancellations for Atlanta as well, but I only had one person flake out on me and I caught on to him early and filled the date with no problem.  I was diligent about verifying who I saw and who their references were, as well as following up a few times before arriving.  

I seem to attract really wonderful people and I'm very thankful for it.  I'm where I am supposed to be, when I am supposed to be there, and they are too, for the most part.  Thank you for that!!  =)))
