I generally find that when many others have success with something that I am not feeling successful with...I need to back away, and take a few deep breaths - then ask for other's suggestions and experiences.
The power of a user driven forum is that we are here to share - and help one another. Yeah, sometimes - when something others are just having a great time with.....and me....not so much.....I just have to remember to be patient. And - once I have really given enough time to it...
I either adjust my methods, take advice - and find the keys to success that way...OR - I get rid of the item that frustrates me. ( Amazing how some cookers can learn to fly....
)
But - I do not hold it against others for their experiences...good or bad. we all can think of things that were a waste of our own time and /or money, but good for others. That's life. Shrug it off, go on and be happy.
