Life's "forks in the road" require some thought. The type of pasta (rigatoni, penne, tortellini) one will order at the Macaroni Grill does not. Ditto with toothpaste...it's the cheapo Aquafresh for me.
You've been on this "decision making" tirade lately. What's up, cpg?
Hahahaha. Well, I am naturally a decision maker anyway. It just seems that there are posters on here lately who just dither over EVERYTHING. They give us their problem, then ask us for advice, then throw up a ton of reasons why they can't do what's pretty apparent to everybody else on the forum.
Then, a week later, they're still miserable, want more advice, and we go through the same thing over and over and over again.
Yes, you're right. Some forks in the road do require thought. However, most are remarkably simple. As in, "Do I stay with a guy who beats me?" The answer to that is "No." Or, "Should I have an affair?" The answer again is "No." Or, "Do I stay with a guy who refuses to get a job and sits around all day playing video games?" The answer here is, "Why on earth would you assume he'll change any time soon?"
Yet these people, who admit to making one stupid decision after another, suddenly think they're lives are more complicated than ours (Well, that part might be true, but only because their problems are self-inflicted). In 99.9% of the cases, it's just not that complicated.

I know who you're talking about...hahaha!! Next week will be something different for her and we will all hear about it...
I agree completely!!! I understand some of the more casual issues that people just want an objective opinion about, but with some of the more dramatic problems, I wonder why they post when they'll get roughly the same answer from the rest of us?
Or the ones that post a question and never respond back!!
