Submitted for the consideration of ALL my favorite turkeys. The ideas below apply to all of you. You are certainly entitled to be like my wife and tell me I am full of myself or Barabara Sriesand. Although, she can say it anyway she pleases and I HAVE to like it. (“Thank you, dear! May I have another deflating?”). You on the other hand have to be nicer to me, since I am “free”. ;-)

Sorry for the delay, but I have been incredibly overwhelmed in the past few days. I try to meet a personal target of 24 hour response. Don’t believe everything that XYZXYZXYZ tells you. Especially ANYTHING to do with when I was in high school. I was much smarter, stronger, and nerdier then.
I will send you asap some of my canned stuff. Please take a look at it and see if you like what you see. I’m an “injineer” and I’m kinda blunt. Some people don’t like that. Further, I have been accused of giving “turkeys” whiplash from trying to get them up to speed with my frenetic pace. Some people don’t like that. I tend to pontificate, talk like I’m up on the proverbial Mount, I don’t mean to, and your situation is yours. Not everything I suggest, do you have to adopt as if it came down from the Intelligent Designer of the Universe. I tend to act like an authority figure in my advice. My wife constantly reminds me, when I am “out”, “if you’re so good why ain’t you in?”, and when I am “in”, “if you’re so good, why ain’t you rich?”. So if my head becomes too large, feel free to deflate it.
Having said all that, I’ll tell you that I “help” people for free. I always tell people if someone wants money from you as a seeker, then you have to very very carefully recognize you are being “sold” something. It may be good (like execunet) but most times it’s bad (10k for a career counseling). So I’m “free”. But you get what you pay for. I currently am assisting 8 seekers so bear in mind that I tend to “share” stuff with them as a group. Some people don’t like that. So if you have something you DON’T want shared, please make sure that is obvious.
So with that introduction, Lesson 1 is complete!
See, gotcha. I do tend to try to “teach” (I was an adjunct prof in comp sci for four years) or “pontificate” (I went to lots of years of Catholic school) or “lecture” (I have lots of fables and anecdotes). You job is to filter what is useful to you, grab that, and let all the rest sluice by.
Good Luck,
fjohn
