I meant to say, "...yes AS often as possible," and, "I like that your suggestions ARE few and simple." I've been trying to simplify my life while commenting more on blogs by using a speech recognition program that doesn't always recognize my speech. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

I thought I was being "of service to others" when I decided a few years ago to say yes if often as possible. But it hasn't worked out that way at all.
