I know the jumping before understanding happening on occasion... =8^( |

The most important thing, tho, is to stay willing to learn new things and |
| 14 |
to learn from mistakes, which we all make, unfortunately (yes, me too, |
| 15 |
unfortunately). That's one thing I don't think anyone here will fault you |
| 16 |
with. Honestly, sometimes you /do/ ask "simple" questions, but one thing |
| 17 |
that /can/ be said is that you've continuously been willing to learn, and |
| 18 |
once you figure it out, I don't see you asking the same thing again! =8^) |
| 19 |
I wish I could /always/ say the same about myself, but unfortunately, |
| 20 |
sometimes I get hard-headed. =8^( I like to tell myself I'm getting a |
| 21 |
bit wiser with experience, and it doesn't happen as much as it used to, |
| 22 |
but regardless, every once in awhile, life kicks some sense into me, only |
| 23 |
because I was being too hard headed to see it /until/ it got to that kick! |
