sigh, where did my comment go... This overlaps into self-defense land. Throwing someone is more about knowing how bodies move, and being willing to engage.

I was just mulling that the workers who are never told to "smile more" are usually Paid More. What an odd coincidence.

I've been the person who dilly-dallied around on the fence of Do I want to Be Happy or What, so I want to cheer you for making so many moves towards your real goals! Having a view of the sea...heavenly.
