Hey Bosshank,
Sorry for the delay in thanking you for your reply. I have been busy as I described in Wow! This has never happened before
I have reviewed the posts in your signature block. A lot to absorb! Tisha, nbully and the rest make for a real life education. Very admirable.
I have nearly two weeks of research/experimentation under my belt and will soon start my journal on the product trials. So far, my observations have been in line with what I have read here and quite exciting for me. Do you have any advice on starting my journal? I am new at using this message board tool but I will get better.
Thanks again

Sorry - I was away for a couple days.
I like your quote - To Lead is to serve. Exactly. Too many people do not realize that. Very nice indeed.
A314 can come across as a little heavy especially with people who are not strong alpha type leaders. People who are a little more passive or are more the follower type (and don’t get me wrong - nothing wrong with good followers!) will often give you just that much more space. We have had guys come up and say “Hey - I tried A314 at work and it did not work. People did not flock in to talk and chat and be friendly.” My response was “A314 is not desinged to make people like you or be chatty. It is designed to signal that you are the leader. People stayed away because suddenly you were the Big Man and they were not going to bother you with idle chit chat. so it worked perfectly. If you want to be Mr Popular go with IO & IShine or maybe Ammo.”
For work I usually run with A314 and IH with the Ih to buffer the A314. People feel connected to you and talk about what they think is important. It keeps open the channels of communication that sometimes the A314 alone can close down. And you get deeper stuff, hopefully work related, rather than the general chattiness of IO.
Using IShine as a buffer in social situation could do the same except the effect would be that uplifting feel to offset the a314 rather than that deeper connection feel if that is what you are looking for. You know your wife best.
But i honestly think Ammo and A314 would be a better combo for the weekend. If you think she is going to do well with the A314 then you might want to consider bumping up the sexy quotient with the Ammo - maybe double strentgh as yes as we guys get older our none output goes down. So push yous up and have her reliving the old days …
There is a thread in my signature block that talks about life at home. I am not sure you have read it yet but please give it a try if you have not.
