RE: Advice and taste explosions

Sadly, I am the only person in my household who likes avocado. BLT sandwiches go right over the top with avocado on them. Mmm.

You sound a lot like my late father in law in how you approach things, which I think is one of the reasons I like chatting with you so. When I was a youngster my parents had no time for me at all. Want to go throw a ball around? No, too busy. Help me with my homework? No, too busy. Etc.

Conversely, I remember my father in law putting absolutely everything aside when I needed advice. The first time it happened I was really quite unnerved; I think I was expecting to be brushed off I almost forgot what I had to ask of him. Then I realised that is who he is, and I like to think I learned a lot from him and grew a lot in the process.

I don't mind a BKT now and then, but avacado? You're always taking things to the next level! I'm on it!

Thanks for your kind words. I always like to make myself available for people (where possible) as I know it's often difficult to put things into perspective when standing too close to the situation. An ear to listen and a few words to help bring clarity can go a long way. It's sad you didn't have that from your parents, but nice that your father in law offered it.
