LonelyW - I wish I was as advanced by instinct as you seem to be when I first got here. Anyway, and without any bullsht...first round of advice: 1. Please read and re-read, and read and re-read soon the links Cadet sent you in the 1st response you received her. Why? You will learn the language and culture used here.People here use references to threads from that initial Cadet post (you already saw where AndrewP referred to the lighthouse story, I knew what he meant, did not when I first got here). 2. Be sure to answer the questions people ask you i full detail. You will feel like you are writing too much, but all of it is in an effort to better understand. 3. AndrewP and Cadet said to get DR/DB books. I think the DR book is more important and valid to modern times. If you buy one, make it that one. Otherwise, together they cost < $ 30 bucks on Amazon and can be read in < 20 days. 4. Give up lonely, give up afraid. The fact that you came here already knowing what detach meant, but knowing you wanted to do it is amazing. 5. Seriously, read what those dudes above assigned to you you. Red it now. It's a lot, it takes time, read it.
