[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 554047"] forgive me for speaking out of term - but someone (on the tip of my tongue-can't remember who it is and this may not be the exact phrase) has "I don't care what label you put on my child, so long as it gets him the help he needs" as part of their signature. Wise words. Kinda the same thing here. When my car makes a funny noise, I am known to turn up the radio. But -- I tell the mechanic - "HEY, the car is making a noise and it needs to be fixed." I don't tell him that I have a great radio that can disguise it or that I enjoy my car so much that I don't care about the mechanical issues (which is true sometimes) or that the noise only happens 90% of the time. In fact, I may even describe it more loudly or more emphatically because I want him to take me seriously that this noise is a problem that must be dealt with. Know what I mean?? [/QUOTE]
