And the day came ...

[Umbrella24]

I DO want to acknowledge, if only for myself, that I think that MANY of my posts on my thread are positive. I think that I HAVE been doing a much better job of calming my own fears, reinforcing h's awesome hard work, etc. Heck, even in the particular post we're talking about I go on and on about KNOWING that I'm making this harder on myself, ignoring what progress we made,etc.

And to be fair, that is generally true. So ask yourself, when you are being positive, and seeing the good changes you have made, aren't you generally happier? Sage, the guy is trying, you are trying, and sometimes, I wonder if you are just too smart for your own good. As an EE also, I know how we have a tendency to analyze things to death, and probably in situations where we shouldn't. I don't think it's a coincedence that the first four letters of analyze are anal.

And actually, I came back to apologize. I was a bit cranky when I checked your thread, and just not feeling real sympathetic, so for whatever reason, when I saw you feeling a little sorry for yourself, I just didn't see it that way. I need to realize that your situation presents a whole slew of different problems than mine, and since I am not in that situation, I don't understand. So I apologize for bursting in here after a prolonged absence with a flamethrower.

Jeez, Jim, thanks for the warning and all but couldn't you have given me a cyber hug instead???

Much better idea.
