First and foremost you ( and everyone posting to you) have been in this "bs" for lack of a better word, for much longer than I. I may even be out of line to post to you, who knows?
Trapt, not out of line at all and it's good for Frank to hear things from a range of people.
Frank, sometimes you leave out details on how you will proceed and it causes people to conflict because instead of comprehending what you are doing, the make assumptions.
From speaking on the phone with you, I know that your intent about the dinners is that it will not be a planned sit down dinner with the kids every night playing happy family. I also know that if you are making dinner for the girls you will also make sure to make enough for your wife as well. Stating these things would help people understand that its not about over complicating,more contingency planning.
Hey BND, whats the old saying??? Opinions are like ?????, everyone has one. I think Frank is getting great views from many many strong people here. I think it's good that he hears some of the variety so he can make some educated decisions as he moves ahead. If you look at what we are all saying here, we are all trying to head him in the same direction, just some of our styles vary.
