Your patience is greatly appreciated
« on: September 01, 2008, 09:11:03 AM »
I apologize to anyone who has been wondering where I have been and why things I have said I would do are taking so long. I have been working my regular job (40 hrs a week and OT) and substitute teaching at the school I was a Teacher's Aide/Substitute last spring. I have a list of things I need to do for some of you here and I promise to get all the tasks done - I only ask that you be patient as I try to get it all wrapped up.

or, as this is a WARRR () forum :




Origin of "Patience is a virtue":

From "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" by Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996): "Patience is a virtue. The ability to wait for something without excessive frustration is a valuable character trait. The proverb has been traced back to 'Piers Plowman' (1377) by William Langland and is similar to the Latin, Maxima enim..patientia virtus (Patience is the greatest virtue) and the French, Patience est une grant vertu. (Patience is a great value.) Some ten years after Langland, Chaucer wrote in 'The Canterbury Tales' (1386) that 'Patience is a high virtue.' Sometimes followed by the wry rejoinder 'but virtue can hurt you.' First cited in the United States in 1724 in the 'Works of Thomas Chalkley' (1766)..."

TopKick -

It's all good.  Life comes before fun...well, at least it should be in that order, but sometimes it's nice to eat dessert before the actual meal.  Geez, I'm hedging my response like I'm a politician trying to be re-elected.
