I see what you are saying, Mysie. There's al ot of times I want to blend in and go with the flow, too. [92% of the time!] The biggest reason I built my tk armor was that I could be just another trooper and have a huge support group at the same time. That part is great. I wanted to be involved, but not be the main focus. I'm always hiding behind my hubby when we're in public...and it annoys him. I make him deal with people so I can relax. Guess when I'm suited up in my armor it will be my turn to people-block for him!
Oh, and I only stuff my cod piece for comfort reasons. I don't have cod piece dysfunction, really. I'm secure with my cod. Sorry,... trying to be funny. My flab gets pinched if I don't stuff. OUCH!!!!
