Ann: Extension of Voluntary Suspension, page-218

"is it possible they were telling you what they thought you wanted to hear?"

Let's just say that I am a direct product of the company I keep. Just like me, they are point blank straight shooters.
I'm not about to say they aren't collectively wrong. ANYTHING is possible even if it surprises us all, but I will say with the greatest of prejudice, there is a ZERO% chance they're just wanting to make me warm and fuzzy. Of course they'd all love to see me happy, and visa versa, but protecting feelings isn't on any of our lists. That's probably the reason in 20 years of living in Australia, I only have 1 friend..
