Excuses Begone!

How many of my frustrations and disappointments come from expecting too much! It is good to set our set standards high, but only if we are prepared to accept, with unperturbed serenity, results that fall short of what we expect. (One Day at a Time in Al-Anon, 29 August)

Using the excuse of genetic programming [to] "not" do anything about the personal characteristics that you dislike is popular and clearly acceptable in today's culture. (Dr. Wayne Dyer, Excuses Begone! p. 5)

Not all change is positive, and it can be downright hard. (Sefra Kobrin Pitzele, One More Day, 30 August)

Yesterday we set up a table at the VFW flea market. They are charging too much. Only four tables were set up in the parking lot and about a half dozen inside. Melva set up inside. There weren't enough customers to make it worthwhile. Melva was willing to haggle on the prices.

In the evening I posted the link to the computer club meeting minutes on the club website. I used Firefox and FTP for the task. Afterwards I wasn't able to read the PDF file with Internet Explorer or the AOL version of IE. I called Barry and asked him access the file with Internet Explorer. It worked for him. There's always more to learn.
