Yes, even an idiot can be learned from....

I only solicit advise from those I wholly trust. Unsolicited advice is evaluated and either shelved, applied, or discarded.

Same from my grampa. He said that's why the good lord gave us two ears, so we could hear and listen twice as much, two eyes so we can watch ( and learn) twice as much and only one mouth so we open it half as much.
If by my experiences, mistakes, and training. I can help one person to gain the wisdom that will allow them to survive or to save the life of someone they love then I can truly say, that all of the things I have done have been worth every second spent.

When I asked for help with the CVS debacle, you gave me in- depth advice and then came back and told me that when I had done the actions, that it would be sufficient. That was very helpful, as were the others who answered. I so appreciated having the input. We all have areas in which we can use another person's " help". You were very good helping me!

That is the beauty of forums like this. Everyone on here is an expert in something and it gives each of us the ability to draw from that collective knowledge! And I was happy to help.
