Debbie,

Maybe it was easier in commercial real estate, it was very rare that we got so tied up, we missed a meal. Even when had long tours with biz people who were from out of town and wanted to see office space or buildings fitting their criteria, we took a break for a meal, and picked up the check. It was to our benefit as well as theirs to be alert and not have a growling stomach. A

I should keep something in the car. I just drive through a McDonalds and grab a single hamburger. There is so little food in it that I don't feel badly about eating there - and it keeps the real hunger monster at bay

Almost never. I need meals (low blood sugar). Only once or twice did that sort of happen..i.e. later than usual, but NEVER skipped. I try to bring granola bars for the car just in case.

How often do I get tied up and miss anything? That is the life of a Realtor. Most of the time I accept it as a given. There are times when engaging with friends and family that are non-negotiable. The rest of the time is up for grabs.
