@Albuquerque,
Maybe that's the difference. I never got 'that talk' (or any other). But as always, I got the impression that my dad thought I didn’t have any idea what I was doing.
He was right of course. He never taught me a damn thing.
In the long run, I’ve come to see that as a blessing, so it all worked out.
Glad it worked out for you Fil. You too Gbag.
