    Plenty of kneejerk, thoughtless, valueless advice around isn't there.

    Like the advice about the vaccination, there is some really silly advice knocking around on that one.

    Oh I'm so sorry to hear of your fear of the virus but don't take the vacconation LOL. You must be joking.... gimmie that jab!

    Very true Jerry.

    Good write Jerry.

  • L. B. Mek

    good write and very true,
    so easy to get lost in 'well meaning' and step over that line to 'overbearing', personally I simply try to apologise in advance for any conceived misunderstanding to my intent - I can anticipate: but sadly, that's often - not enough to avoid the consequences yielded by our fallible nature...

    On the other hand........ Let's try to take a more global view of 'advice' please:
    After all, It's everywhere; some seek it out - self help books, as an example are ubiquitous as bookshops and I need advice from a friend from time to time.
    TRUST the key here. Advice accepted if trust exists. Trust is, or should be the lubricant in all human interaction.

    Regards Dave

      Thanks Doggerel.

        My pleasure Jerry. As I look at my contrib. the following day I can see that it could be perceived as a criticism. Was not. merely wanted to add a further dimension. Also doesn't take anything away from your original work.

        Take it easy, Dave
