I definetly agree. I see something and will go for it and will not be persuaded to go someone elses way. I have to work on it, live with it, etc... Of course, there have been times when I have been unsure and usually then will just walk away and wait for another day. I will consider someone elses suggestions when I am not sure. I sound really cold and callous but I'm not REALLY!!
