The Man in the Arena - Theodore Roosevelt - April 23, 1910
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face in marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Winter project: great opportunity!
With snow on the ground and sticking, outdoor projects have become difficult if not impossible. Time to get crackin' on the stuff that has been forced to wait.
A friend gave me some long neglected paddles. The varnish has dried and cracked on both of them. Some mold has crept in. One has a dried out and crack… Continue

Your point is truly useless. Congratulations.

There are some things you can't compensate for. If you are missing your hearing in one ear, you are probably not in your lifetime (even with technology advancing as fast as it is), going to understand (really understand) sterio sound.

Of course they will. At the level of affordability for most people, laptops are always pitifully under-powered. Therefore, the average laptop shows at a disadvantage before the average desktop box. Laptops start out slow and get slower.

The question, therefore, is how big is "more" and how big is "some".

Bless you my dear friend. I wish you well always.
Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. I am thinking of you during this difficult time. Sorry for your lose.
How blessed you were to have him. May he rest in pease.
Like you, I am not in debt except for my home which will be paid for in 3 years. Ir repair most of my appliance after someone tells me what is wrong. I conserve energy like there will be non tomorrow.
Now about the CD writer. It did not come with anything. I just put it in and it worked. It has worked up to last week when I burned some photos to a disc. Yet, today when I tried to burn some poems that I have written, it would not work.
I don't know but don't be concerned. I asked you because I know how smart you are about things. All I did was check the connects. Everything was in place.
Try taking 1000 mg of Fish Oil twice a day and see if after a month, it doesn't help you. It sure did help me plus, it helped get my colestrol down.
I wish you the best my dear but please do not over do it as you will end up having soft tissue damage, like I did. That means that the soft tissue has to heal as well as just having the surgery. It takes longer.
Question. My CD writer isn't working and I haven't had it that long. I checked all the ribbons and connects yesterday and all seems to be seated very well. Any suggestions?
Hey, are you needing a knee replacement? If so, do yourself a huge favor and get it done. I did even though, I had to wait 6 hears to grow old enough. Now, I feel like a brand new woman. My body used to hurt all over because of the shift in the way I bore my weight. Now, I can hang with the best of them. Dance, hike, you name it. The back problems along with the neck pain is gone.
Pick up that phone and get it over with. One month afterward and you will be good to go.
I wish you the very best my dear. Life is tough living with a lot of pain. I know.
