Wow, PatientMan's post is so good! I read it 2 times (thanks PatientMan).
I especially loved this: "He doesn't know what he is doing. He is trying on several outfits to see what he likes best, which is why Cadet's first post always says to "Believe none of what he or she says and half of what he/she does."
Read and reread Cadet's intro post until it is ingrained in your brain. Read and reread Sandi's 37 rules until you know them by heart and live them out by habit.
You can do this, but you need to focus on YOU right now. The plane is going down, the cabin has lost air pressure, and you need to put your own mask on first before you can worry and panic about anyone else."
Like I keep saying, Teach, please keep a PMA. Also, do your best to suck up all the great advice you get here.
I know you can do this, but it will take time.
