True that. *slowly and slowly...* I think taking baby steps and using small victories along the way as stepping stones is essential to make that significant a difference in one's life....

I once had a girlfriend who thought it was the cutest thing she had ever heard. Every time I stuttered she would kinda smile and almost giggle. ...

Got me laid once. She thought it was adorable that I couldn't hardly get a word out while I was very intoxicated. Other than that I cant really think of anything....
