[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 676197, member: 19617"] I hear you, ksm. I have had to deal with some of this myself with DCs to some extent. Some people are like this (always losing, forgetting, breaking, changing stories, etc.) Some fortunately, eventually learn from their lessons and grow out of it. I know some never will. It is often (usually) the small things day by day that wear us down, frustrate, irritate, and incapacitate more than the big, hard things sometime. I heard an analogy once like this …. When trekking hour by hour, day by day on a hiking journey, for example, it is not the large boulder in the path that stops you. You can exert extra effort or work together and scale a big rock or obstacle in some way (to get over, under, around or through), so as to continue on the journey. And it’s a good feeling of success to have met and conquered the big challenge. However, the tiny pebble or sand grain(s) in your shoe, that continually eat away at your foot inside your boot, that wears away at a tiny patch of skin step by step, and minute by minute (even on level, easy ground) is what will cause festering blisters on your feet and cause you to have to stop and not be able to continue and keep up. It’s imperative to attend to and eliminate those small irritations to keep fit and able to meet the big ones. I understand your frustrated concern with the so frequent dilemmas of losing and forgetting. I wish I had some specific answers for you. I empathize with you having to deal with these matters. Just know we understand and you are not alone. [/QUOTE]
