Look, I don't mean to be a d!ck. Maybe I can't help it, I am a lawyer after all.

But another Dbers story here hit me really hard - Bolt's. If you haven't followed it, it's pretty heartbreaking right now.

It's easy to get caught up in the euphoria of a big success. But it's is not the end game. This is a marathon and I've ran enough of them to know that how you feel in first, 5th or 15th mile doesn't mean that you will get the result you want in the end.

Its is great news? You bet and I applaud Denver. 110%

I also never used the term negative feeling for a reason. I don't think being mad is necessarily a negative feeling towards someone your love. Having contempt, hatred, or no feelings are negative and being mad or angry can be a precursor to all these. if you don't deal with it. Being mad is what it is. I'll trust that Denver is dealing with it.

I'll stick to my opinion on the pudding comment, but I see where you are coming from.

For those that don't know my story and think I'm just out to get Denver. I got the bomb dropped on me twice. (Ironically, about the same time as Denver) I've been piecing for about 4 months now (I know a short time) I've been to MC (our MC told us recently that we don't need him. So there is some proof to my pudding as well. LOL)

But it has NOT been grins, the whole time. It is really hard at times. My most recent experience is making the transformation to building a new M. I've learned so much more in piecing than I ever thought I would.

I just want to help him make that transition as best I can, but I don't do it through hand-holding and atta-boys. Not my style
