Damage Control

[gurdymonkey]

I just tried as kindly and as realistically as possible to convince someone that maybe she should actually read all the information we've been sending her for months and think about it. It took me six years to get from rudimentary informal dress to the Full Monty. With several rethinks and rebuilds along the way as my skills improved and I understood more about what it was I was trying to do. And the knowledge that it's STILL not right.

My gut feeling is that I've just wasted my time.

Heheheh - you need to smile more in your pretty clothes - it makes you look young and excited :) It makes the 'curmudgeon' that much funnier.

(sorry - just read your first link and looked at the pictures of Makiwara)

With That Person? Yeah, probably. I wince every time her name comes across my email inbox.

Sigh... Just consider who is asking the questions...

I am always impressed by how you answer the same questions over and over, sometimes when it is the same person asking again and again. Especially when it is me.

No - I need to carry a fan more often so I can hide behind it. Conceals a multitude of sins, you know. ;-D

Funny, I don't recall you doing that.

Perhaps Amaratsu will smile, and something will be learned....

If you're talking about the post I think you are...your gut is probably right about the wasting your time thing.

I don't think the clue-by-four will work in this situation and I've misplaced my clue-by-eight or I'd loan it to you.

I cannot tell you how glad I am to have that in digest.
