Repost your flow as the other guys have said so we can import it.
Then document in plain english (words) what real world problem you are trying to solve and your thoughts on the logic that you are using to approach it.
We may be able to come up with something for you.
Here is an example of how i am using Mytimeout in a simple scenario
