    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    I think I can speak to your question, wayfarer. Why ask for advice if one is just going to take it with a grain of salt? Because advice is another point of view to throw in the mix, ponder over, consider...it adds to the discussion or contemplation. It can be valuable, of course, but it's up...

    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    If that somehow moves you. Your thread idea would not interest me, personally.

    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    "This is a great forum for information sharing, however, take whatever you read here with a grain of salt." Yes, I'm quoting myself. It seems a reasonable, well-intended reminder for everyone here. It simply means, glean what you can here, but know that what is true for you is the truest...

    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    Finally, Marc S. said it best, "taking too much advice may contradict the general instincts." That is what I wanted to post in a nutshell. I have posted this idea and it's been lodged. Now we'll see if the naysayers win in taking down my voice--an honest well-tended thought--for no good reason.

    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    I don't understand. Would you like to pick apart a well-intended fellow pilgrim, or join the discussion? I'm confused by where you're putting your energy here. Take a deep breath. I will too. Ok, good. Now, you're a pilgrim. I'm a pilgrim. We're sharing here. We're sharing thoughts and...

    Thank you! All advice or messages must be taken with a grain of salt.

    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    Yikes. Just sayin', to all the readers here, don't be deterred by forum naysayers...go with your gut and walk the Camino and be better forever after for it! Buen Camino!

    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    Yikes.

    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    Wouldn't that just spark controversy and endless debate? I encouraged people to go with their gut in my very first post. That stirred controversy! So I'll just reiterate to anyone on this forum, take any advice you read here with a grain of salt, and trust your instincts above all. Thanks!

    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    Yeah kinda! No, seriously though...I think a lot of open heart pilgrims come here for information. It's the heavy handed advice here that worries me. Frankly, I hope it doesn't deter them or worry them enough that they leave and look elsewhere. I think anyone that's made it this far, ready...

    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    Also, why is it provocative to lead with, "take what you read here with a grain of salt?" That's just saying, take whatever you ever read or hear with a grain of salt. That's provocative? Were your programmed early on not to question anything? There's nothing provocative about encouraging...

    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    Why? What's wrong with inquiry and then debate? I posted what I posted to possibly help some of those on the fence about things. Why would you jump on that?

    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    Ah...yes....
  15. H

    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    My focus is on any pilgrim benefiting from this forum. Reading a lot, thinking even more...and then deciding for him or for her what is true...and then walking to test what they believe...

    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    OOh! I see we've been relegated to misc topics! I guess that what I brought up could not possibly be instrumental or valuable to the many that traverse this site...

    Glad things are panning out for you! Cali too...

    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    To spark inquiry. Both from within and without...

    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    Yes probably so. Some after a walk might feel worse. However, and hopefully, most come out better. So, walk on and Buen Camino!!!

    Take what you read here with a grain of salt...

    Your statement is broad. Will it stand up to scrutiny? Time will tell. There is nothing foolish about undertaking a very long walk. A very long walk will save some of us, and entertain others along the way. Walk everyday...that may save you.
