Patrons who join at this tier can ask as many questions as they would like over the period of a month. Basically, buy my ear for around 3 dollars a day.Questions will be answered between 1pm and 5pm CST.NOTE: Complex/multi-part questions that require a response(or responses) longer than 2-3 paragraphs may be answered over several days, instead of all at once. It greatly depends upon the nature of the question(s) asked, and the depth of the desired response.NOTE #2: Though Patrons who join at this tier have a month to ask me questions, I strongly recommend writing out a planned series of questions before joining and then sending them over for me to review at the start of the month. Additionally, please put your questions in order of urgency/desire to have them answered. This is to ensure buyer satisfaction. Depending on the volume of questions or necessary length of responses, it may not be possible to get to all of them. In other words, choose AND order your questions wisely.
