What you said about not knowing what you're talking about... Just remember, MOST people don't know what they're talking about either, but that doesn't stop them.
Remember that saying If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullsh!t?
I tell my kids, you can rule the world with bullsh!T. Got my medical bills straightened out, got my son's bad credit fixed.
Good luck. sounds like you're almost out of the woods!
