I would love to know what was going on inside those software developers' heads when they came up with that program. It's ridiculous how many menus and twiddly tools and knobs and bars there are.<br /><br />37P: I always say, if I wait for someone to go with me, I'll wind up not going! I actually like doing things by myself. There's a lot of freedom in it.<br /><br />Ms Moon: It's hard to think that I'm very inspiring, but thanks to you and Angella for those kind words. :) I don't think I'll make it to Lloyd this time, sadly. But if I do wind up in your neck of the woods I will definitely let you know!<br /><br />MWA: Oven cleaning is such a horrible job. I don't mind washing sheets. As for ironing, we just skip it. I never iron!<br /><br />E: I love that song! Yes, the things I'm writing about here really aren't problems at all.<br /><br />Bug: I always think I'm a terrible goal-setter, but I guess I do OK!<br /><br />Linda Sue: But you set goals, whether you consciously realize it or not. You felt your creations and get yourself to London. You're goal-setting all the time! :)<br /><br />Elizabeth: Absolutely. I think one of the keys to staying sane is finding enjoyment and gratification in "the little things."Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-84965587883017204882015-07-19T00:40:37.506+01:002015-07-19T00:40:37.506+01:00I think that all sounds like a nice way to pass th...I think that all sounds like a nice way to pass the summer, especially if, Like Dave says, you don't really have to do any of it. Accomplishing small tasks is sometimes more gratifying than those huge ones that exhaust you emotionally before they're even finished, right?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-34073368965901029222015-07-19T00:19:59.907+01:002015-07-19T00:19:59.907+01:00I have never really understood goals, or rules for...I have never really understood goals, or rules for that matter. Just seems like a set up to fail. I do not understand fail. Have a great trip home, Florida is pretty close to Bellingham...give us a call, I will take you out for a brew. ( Bellingham got voted the most beer snobber-ish city in the USA!)Which surprises me...Portland is more so, I think.

I can get completely worked up about getting a family photo album just perfect and done on time. <br />Oh, and I have a cleaner who does my oven. And the ironing. And she changes my sheets. It's all about priorities in life. First world life.

I've been using Corel Paint Shop Pro and I still don't know how to do many things in that program. The thought of starting a whole you program is a bit daunting. I wish I could find a class on the subject. I learn so much better with someone showing the way. <br /><br />I loved your comment about the lions. I've wondered the same thing. A symbol of strength and pride I presume. Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.com
