Wow, I had just prepared my post and was about to paste it here, when I read this:

Quoting Jethro from lostlove's thread "trusting that it's for real.":
As our Ses are in pain, so are we...yet we choose to temporarily overlook that pain until the right time. Eventually, we do have to evaluate this pain and our life and decide what actions to take...and if we are getting what we want from our R...or if we expect to get what we want from our R.

I do believe when we get to the point where we are in Piecing that, over some time, we should expect our Ses to come around a bit...to give more to the R...and to "drive" for a while. Remaining sedate just isn't an option anymore because we've worked hard, know what it takes to make an R work, and expect the same in return.
ESP for sure?... I had come to basically the same conclusion this morning while getting ready for work.

So with that said, I will now paste my thread finale...

===========================================================

Well, I'm ready to put my DBing skills to the test and see how well I have learned to hone them.

This weekend, I'm going to go for what I think is the final piece. Maybe then, I'll get to leave Oz?...

I'll let you all know how it works out next week...

How's that for a cliffhanging thread finale...

'til later,
KAW
