This discussion has me smiling so much today. Im not looking to hijack the whole thread, but Starsky cracked me up saying that he's a hard @ss on here and a softie in real life.
I guess I try to not give too many 2 x 4's b/c i've given so many out in real life. I was to honest IRL i guess so im working hard at being much softer in general and it starts here for me. I think my size, being bald, having a scowl for a natural look etc has kept people from 'talking back' to me, or at least so my wife said, so at some point I thought I had carte blanche to say whatever was in my head and I always hid behind " hey if they don't like honesty they shouldnt ask what I think" .
Anyway, just funny that now im a 'cheerleader'....actually Im happy to be and trust me MrsD, the only reason im cheerleading is because others are swinging the big sticks this time. I want you to capatalize on the momentum you have, but you still really need to worry less about him/her and worry more about you, and not as it relates to him but as it relates to who you want to be.
