I finally got a clean pull on a 2-inch marble after three tries with a new torch tip.

The key was letting the gather cool for a full 30 seconds longer than usual before starting to stretch it, which my instructor in Tucson showed me last month.

Is that really such a big deal?

Depends on what you mean. If it's about someone being a few minutes late, then no. But if it's about breaking trust or ignoring a clear rule, then yeah it is. Some things seem small but add up over time. People get tired of the little stuff that never gets fixed. So yeah, sometimes it actually is a big deal.

Alright, but is getting upset over small stuff really worth the headache? Someone forgot to reply to your text or left a dirty dish in the sink, so now you're gonna treat it like a felony? That sounds exhausting. I'd rather just let the tiny things slide and save my energy for actual problems, not imagined slights.
