Piecing - Round 1

[Denver_2010]

Keep it up, Denver, and don't let other people push you off the path.

Angel, however you feel about the "tougher approach" being advocated by me and SBH and some others, I find the above insulting. No one is trying to "push Denver off his path." We are trying to provide an outside perspective, and perhaps be a "canary in a coal mine" if our own experience can help him avoid a potential pitfall.

As always, he is free to either use or reject the advice, as he sees fit.


Starsky

First... LOL SBH! yeah, that's the attitude that I would have had too had mine ended in D. Although I was thinking more like 80!

---

FTR, I did not feel pressured by any of this talk. I actually never feel a bit of pressure to do something differently these days. I am in a much stronger place, much more comfortable with DB concepts, and very comfortable with the path that I am on. I don't think that I am susceptible at all to being swayed off that path.

HOWEVER, I do think that Angel's words have some relevancy here on these boards. Nothing to do with you Starsky, or you SBH... at least not these days

But as newcomers, I do think that we can feel pressure from those who give us advice. We come here so unsure of ourselves, what we are doing, and why we are doing it... we don't know what our lives will look like from one hour to the next. Our ability to make our own decisions is severely diminished in many cases.

I THINK that Angel telling me not to be swayed from my path was a mere expression of her concern that I might still be in that place somewhat? She has never posted on my threads before, at least not that I can think of. So I'm guessing that she is not that familiar with me or where I am emotionally these days. I'm assuming that she just meant in general Starsky.

As always, I personally appreciate the outside perspective... The canary in the coal mine (had never heard THAT one before!).
