Bad habits formed in my early youth. Under stress, that is the direction I go....so having a system to "keep me honest" works very well. I do NOT want to go back to where I was - not with these bad knees!

I wouldn't expect the system I use to be appropriate for others - some, perhaps - but everyone needs to try things and find their own way that works for them.
