I'm right there w/J3B, i.e., not a fan of praise. I can be just as cranky/direct as the next person and my patience shovel is on automatic dig quite often. LOL! Each and every poster is awesome in my books. Why? Because each and every poster comes here seeking advice, a shoulder to lean on and to learn how to survive and thrive along the way. You know what? They, in turn, actually help others w/their postings and that means sharing and caring w/others. So, yes, everyone that comes here is awesome in his/her own right.

So, pat yourself on your back...you've come a long way in a short period of time and you are helping others too.
