thank you (((((((((((((((( wants2 ))))))))))))))))))) yes, there's definitely something in "going public" with a decision. t has found that pride in me as well and has used it to his benefit a few times.

for example, if i commit to something aloud, he'll confirm it as a commitment because he knows that i very rarely back away from that. then he asks me to commit to others as well. good point! and good practice!
be safe,
