I appreciate that, cj, thank you.

I can’t believe they are being criticized for shooting back. People shoot at you with automatic weapons and you are to play them loud music?

::faints::

I would rather have “genuine” than “polished’ thank you.

Hope doggie is doing OK.

Remember before political correctness and before you had to worry about getting sued for saving someone from a burning building, when heroism was celebrated? Which goes back to your point about Mars energy. And I believe you had another post about the lack(or supression) of Mars energy now, which is so true.

I’d just like to add my voice to the ones saying that we much prefer genuine to polished. If I want polished I’ll watch TV. I’ve been reading here for years because I appreciate your candor, honesty, and ability to cut to the point of difficult subjects. I understand looking back at work from years before and cringing, but please try not to let it bother you too much. I love the fact that we get to see a real person in the videos, rather than someone who’s been coached to death on how to impress. All the best!

I agree with cj. It’s liberating. And I 100% know what it feels like- I’m there now. I look like crap, feel like crap, working on it on all fronts, and I don’t CARE that I look bad. It’s just the way it is.

I reread some of the comments you posted on my blog in 2002 (!) and they were very compassionate. I felt supported. Tenderness comes from pain.
