I am trying to ease back into the hobby. My challenge since being out (out since 2008 - old handle raffimail1 with about 9 reviews back then) is that the agencies I had used are no longer around from what I can tell.  Since stopping, I started my own business (nearly 5 years now) and am not sure how to meet some of the reference requirement i.e. job & provider references.

Thanks

Don't bother. I did almost the exact same thing a couple of years ago, and most providers have a 6 month time limit on references. Some might remember you and give you a reference, but I doubt it. I think you will find the ladies are much more careful now.

...and even though they're old, they still show you're not a total newbie.

I tried that. Didn't work for me, was told they were too old, but hey go for it. Some gals go by instinct, you get a couple of those and it's off to the races.

I can't remember my password and I have a new email address so I can't reset it on my own.  I am more than willing to go back to my old handle

Working on it!

Just got my old handle back.

Good for you!
