My Story...possible "grass is greener" scenario?

"Experienced" posters, I hope that what Britt wrote below helps with understanding how your advice can be helpful even when a newbie appears to be foolishly not following it (emphasis mine):

Puppy, thank you so much for the encouragement! I will be forever grateful for all your help as well. You may not think you helped as half the time if not more, I did not follow through on your advice. But even though I didn’t follow through THEN, I eventually did. It was still nice to come on here and hear your words of encouragement and advice. Its nice to know someone is always trying to help you. And your words stick in my mind.

nsw, I hope the advice that you have received is sinking in somehow.
