If that's what you want, just say so. You're starting to come across as pretty arrogant and rude for people who have nothing but good intentions.
Well, that's what I wanted . . .and I said so, numerous times.
I'm just curious...do you take this tone with your W too? [/quote]
No, not at all, actually. I reserve that tone for people who are arrogant, condescending, and rude to me. For real. For one thing, my wife isn't generally arrogant, condescending, and rude to me. She generally doesn't hammer me with unasked for advice in a rude and/or condescending manner.
While things got off to a shaky start here from the getgo for me, I'm actually a pretty jovial and likable guy. But admittedly I don't suffer 'rude' or subordinating crap very well. In ya'lls defense, that's caught a few rude and subordinating people off guard in 'real life' so-to-speak, as I'm cool until someone gets a little snooty with me, then I can get a little sarcastic.
I think I've mentioned this before already, but your implication, even if it was in the form of a "question" is one of the things I would find 'annoying' in 'real life.'
Again, since my wife isn't that sort of person, I don't take this tone with her.
I'm assuming you have nothing to add with regard to experiences with actually trying something besides doing nothing to add. Thanks anyway.
Life may be short, but . . . well . . . it actually IS short, now that I think about it . . . . particularly when compared to planetary formation and stuff.
