the questions are all on the same topic... so the topic isn't overwhelming -i'm just dumb...
so you might want to change the header - like part 2 and whatever the main focus of discussion is... for referring back to later in the archive...

Krista is a smart chica and she read it and a lot went over her head she said... which is unfortunate. But this is Lyle dumbing stuff down... he operates on another level when it comes to this stuff which makes interviewing him tough if you're actually going to reach people. Hopefully we'll get questions out of it rather than blank stares, lol.
I've already had two people email me questions so that's good.
She married you - of course she's smart..
my problem with it -and I think it's the rebellious side of me -I grew up in a house where if you answered a question with less than 150 words and most of those words weren't multi syllaballe -you just weren't trying hard enough... that gets tiresome...
As an adult -i appreciate succintness -and the reading is just a lot of words... not that you could eliminate any .. I just need to get my head around it.
and yay for getting questions

Yea, I hear ya.
People like succinctness, especially on the web. Unfortunately, in order to get a full understanding of some of this stuff, it takes a lot of words. I used to think I had to say a lot to wow people. Not it's more a matter of saying the right things in as few words as possible... being profound. I still struggle with it but I'm working towards it.
Lyle is wordy. Always has been, always will be. Or, it's possibly the fact that it's as succinct as you can be while still pushing the full message.

the books i've read of lyle's I appreciate the wordiness because he says a lot in those words and doesnt waste them.. I've just gotten a lot dumber over the years... and it takes me longer to grasp things...
the Krista comment on your first blog entry -is that hte lovely Mrs Steve?

Ehm, I guess I'll be cutting back on my carbs. My doctor did that testing on me that Lyle was talking about (and I've also had symptoms of insulin resistance) and told me to cut back on my carbs. He didn't really tell me why so I'm happy to have seen some light shed on the matter.
Really good stuff there... and maybe I just enjoy the mind aspect of it more because that's where i spend a lot of my time (in my own neurosis) but it's also really understandable... Nice job
This couldn't be truer... How many posts have we seen on this forum alone - OMG -i've blown it -whip me beat me - punish me -while I eat the rest of the box of cookies...
