Wowie kazowie, it sounds like we're from the same family smile I have heard that healthy denial makes for a longer happier life, but I agree with not ignoring pain. Thanks for the story.

Thank you for the welcome, Erica.

Not meaning to disrespect you in any way, but I don't think there can be any such thing as "healthy denial". If it hurts seek medical attention.

You're welcome for the story.

To all:

Most writers make shameless plugs and I'm not immune at all to that disease.

I will not be pained or grieved if I see that someone from this forum purchased a copy of my book. And submitted an awesome review to Amazon.

Just sayin'...

I don't remember my dad's book, It was 20 some years ago. I think it was called "Overcoming Objections". It was a book to help those in the sales, especially those in real estate. I don't know who the publisher was. My dad was a real estate broker and also taught in California. Probably not the kind of reading most would be interested in.

Thanks for asking.

My last job was high pressure boiler room sales work. I did that for seven years, so I may have read it.
