    I wish I could stop asking stupid questions, because then I get good straight to the point answers and then feel like a complete moron rofl thank you, didn’t do much celebrating but it was still a thousand times better than the last

    I'm about 6'3", 6'4"ish with boots. Never dated a girl over 5'2".
    That's the best part of about having a foot or so on your woman. When you look down at her, she thinks you're looking her in the peepers, but you're really being a peeker.! :D Lmao

    It is a very rare thing for me to say something like this.

    You need to change your attitude.
    Ok, so you got handed some lemons. Now what. You have choices. You can beeeeaattchh about just getting lemons or you could look at the potential. You could make lemonade, chicken picatta, lemon sauce for cheesecake. That’s up to you.

    For the next 6 or 8 months, focus on learning and doing. Put yourself to the challenge of constantly improving. Don’t worry about what the other guy is doing. The question is what are you doing to be better.

    One more thing.
    You only get two things in life. Your name and your word. Make the best of them.

    Carpe Deum......my grandfather came back from the grave!

    Yep....I remember my grandpa saying almost those exact words....well nothing about the different lemon recipes....but everything else...yes sirrrreeee!

    He came up, Gibbs slapped me....then told me to quit complaining that I should be grateful that I am capable of tossing 2 to 1 bales over my brother. Do your own, make it the best, don't worry about what others are or aren't doing.

    My grandmother.....same but different.....stop complaining about the taxes we pay, be grateful we can pay them!

    The wisdom from previous generations is priceless.....

    Can't offer anything in the way of what to do about WE. I was fortunate to have never dealt with a starter company.. I do feel the advice given sounds like the right thing to do. Follow through of what one says they are going do shows/builds character. You WILL in some way be better off for it..

    I wouldn't worry much about stupid questions. The good part is you didn't seem to get butthurt from the answers.. :thumbup: Might feel silly now, but you got 100%, no BS replies, all in agreement to stay put from each who responded. So whatever doubt you had is washed off.. FWIW, you say you're halfway done there.? I'm not in your seat, but the 1st half sure went by quick..
