LMSC I know, I am being far from helpful. 😊
But you are. Seriously. So is Rob.
Rob’s “try it” isn’t really the direction I’m looking to go in but any suggestion gets me thinking. It’s funny in a way, but in trying to explain to him why I don’t want to do that. I’m also explaining it to myself. Weird, right? I think it goes like this. My gut says “Not what I want”, but in trying to explain that, one of two things happens - either I end up clarifying why my gut says that, which helps resolve that issue in my own head, or …. I can’t explain it, in which case I end up changing my mind, and my gut feeling can suck one. 😁
So, all suggestions help, even if I end up rejecting some.
That’s really what this whole thread (and much of several others) are about - clarifying my thinking, seeing if you guys (with way more knowledge and experience) come up with ideas or approaches I hadn’t thought of. The internet is a funny old place, and forums some of the funniest. Funny weird, I mean, though funny ‘ha ha’ too, sometimes. Often, “advice” questions are really “Someone please decide for me” questions. That is so not me. It may, and probably does, look like it, but it isn’t. I take advice, feedback, perspectives and views but at the end, I know my circumstances … and for that matter, preferences …. aren’t necessarily the same as someone elses, so the ideal slutions aren’t, either.
I mean, what should I have for lunch? Cheese sandwich, or marmite on toast? If I ask someone that likes cheese but detests marmite I’ll get one answer, but if someone loves marmite but is lactose-intolerant, I’ll get a different one. Both answers are in good faith, both offer genuine opinions and if I’m really lucky, I’ll get an answer from someone that, like me, likes both. I might even get “toasted cheese on marmite”. Then, I know I’ve found a soul-brother or sister. No seriously, it works. Better yet, do the toast lightly, spread a thin layer of marmite, sliced tomatoes then grated cheese on top, and grill. Sound disgusting but the marmite basically adds a savoury depth, an ‘umami’. It is, if you like, seasoning.
See what I mean about weird? How does a thread go from levelers/tampers, to marmite, tomato and cheese on toast? Gotta stop now, I think i hear the nurses coming to inspect the wall padding and my strait-jacket. 😁
Seriously, though, all answers help.
