I totally agree, and I've seen your threads when people told you you were attacking and I didn't see it that way either.

Yeah, I'm usually able to do this but because of that perfect storm that I was talking about, it is making it a bit harder this time. I just need to decide what I'm doing and why I'm doing it and if I'm getting the right balance for myself. Thanks!
