Surprised more people aren't choosing Only with help. It seems like the practical answer. I keep a note about mobility for exactly this reason.

Yes, definitely got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. I would write it down before changing anything else.

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. The gentle part is easy to underestimate.

I picked Only with help, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. This is more useful on a tired quiet Sunday than on a perfect day.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 8 months. The beautiful constraint is probably the real story.

Honestly, great taste. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability. Glad you shared the messy version too.
