[Shannon]

Shannon, I am perplexed and disheartened....
"my way or the highway"

what I dont understand is why I am sort of forced to use Masked?
I am fine with Hybrid and Ultrasonic, I just get tinnitus, but honestly its not a big deal......it doesnt stop me from using it.
I can live with it.

This is why I am confused.

It's not possible to do 12 hours. Today was a typical day, up at 6am, out at 7.30am, just got back from driving to 2 sites, it is now 1pm. I am only home for 4 hours and need to do house work, vacumning etc. Then I am out again, and not back until 8. I don't have 12 hours, and I cannot use this driving, as you said. I also cannot have this playing at client sites.

I struggle for every $ i make. I appreciate your help (in every way) but it seems you have  forgotten what is it like to struggle for everything.......... this is all I know..

If I use Hybrid, how many hours do I need to do? or Ultrasonic?
I can't do 8 loops. This is NOT, not wanting to do it. I hope you can understand this.
I want to do it, but how do I do 8 loops when I dont have 12 hours.
I barely have a few hours here and there, at most 2-3 hour blocks.
As I stated earlier, my time is broken most days...

I need to break through this with Hybrid or Ultrasonic. You said it would take longer.. so be it.

It is true, nearly 4 months..  and very little change, one or 2 extra jobs.....
nothing I would consider any different... I am sure other people experience delays in this too...
.... even with the Masked being used for the last 4 cycles.

It's not "my way or the highway", it's "You keep telling me that for one reason or another you can't, and I found the usage pattern that will achieve your goals with the program if you're going to use Masked format."  I haven't forgotten what it's like to struggle.  It's not like I spend my days laying on the beach sipping fruity drinks and just answering the forum.  I'm trying to help you, and between your schedule and your circumstances, there's always a reason why you can't.  It frustrates us both, I'm sure.

If you want to use something else, your best results will come from using Hybrid format, 4 loops per day on, 7 days on, 2 days off per ASRB2 cycle.

I almost never run the models to find an optimal usage pattern for a specific person because I just don't have time, and then everyone wants it if I do.  I have done this for you twice now, and I hope you can make this second one work, because I don't tell the models what to say, I ask the question and report the answer they give.  Given your circumstances, you have to choose between one of the two options, masked or hybrid, and use the program according to that schedule.  Based on the answers the models have given me, you have a huge amount of subconscious resistance here, and it's going to require one of those two to overcome it.  That's not something I can change.

Once you pick which option you are going to use, the other will be invalidated, so choose wisely because you can't switch back and forth after making that choice.  Not that I would expect you to, after what you said above, but for the sake of clarity, I'm pointing this out.

Ask yourself, how much of your struggle is excuse not to prioritize UMS and it's results as a way to sabotage or avoid those results?  I'm not asking to imply or accuse you of anything, and I'm not saying you have to answer to me on this, but ask yourself and be brutally honest.  The answer may be helpful moving forward.
