Thank you so much T^2!

I would easily pay a rounded up 5 cents for your insight smile

I was truly surprised that he seemed to be gobsmacked that I would not do as he suggested. I was kind, I used my inside voice when I said it and even waited a full ten minutes in silence with him until he could speak.

Made an inside joke and even made him chuckle a bit after that. He acknowledged that no one else could make him laugh like I could.

I never though it would be me wanting to slow things to a halt but I do. I would really like that seed to sprout.
