A couple of old sayings came to mind this morning as I sat at the computer.
Sometimes I feel that I have been beating my head against a brick wall, and the
only thing that has happened is that I got a bloody head.
the other is that you can't make a "silk purse out of a sow's ear".

I won't go into the circumstance that these sayings came to mind but needless to say
I am going to quit beating my head against the brick wall and to stop trying to
encourage others into improving their skills and life, etc.
It just ain't worth the effort and time on my part.
