Are you like me in that you get into these conversations where a person presents a problem and you offer what you think is good advice only to have it tossed back at you? I'll say, "You could do this. Or this. Or even this." And they say, "No I can't. No I can't. No, I couldn't." That person will walk away from the conversation seemingly perfectly content while I walk away with gritted teeth and bitten tongue. I'm done doing that. Be it resolved: Do not offer unsolicited advice anymore.Monday, February 2, 2009
