EDIT: I thought when I hit geezer status I wouldn't have this kind of problem anymore. Well sporty, guess again.  

Reminds me of an old classic story I just finished rereading; 'Leave Her to Heaven'.

If you desire something, don't just wish for it, WORK for it. When you save up enough cash to buy, go get it.

There are 3 options for any kind of repair or product building service: CHEAP, FAST, and GOOD. If you want it cheap and fast it won't be good, If you want it good and cheap it won't be fast, If you want it fast and good it won't be cheap.

In an ancient letter to friends in Greece, a man wrote

'Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable -if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things'

Today's version often seems to be "Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - tear it down, ridicule it, try to discredit it and then destroy every trace because it might oppress somebody".
