Bud! You are not full of bad advice (insert woman with smoke coming out of her ears!)!
You've given me some.. well most of the good advice I've received so far in my sitch. Partly because you're one of the few who takes the time to reply, but mostly because you have a wealth of knowledge and are kind enough to share it!
And yeah, I think you're right in this case too. I'll be ready to go, but unless H makes much of a deal or actually asks me to go, I'll stay here - without guilt
Whatever it is you're drinking.. send me the bill.
