I do, therefore, have a sort of 'infinite' life. Given that we all have to live within our financial means and our physical and mental limitations, that my working motto is <i>carpe diem</i> and that I do try to live that motto, any changes would, in practice, be minimal. <br /><br />You know sometimes I wish that I was less 'serious' in my answers.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-82817333005529804902011-03-24T11:23:30.184+13:002011-03-24T11:23:30.184+13:00Oh yes - selectivity... or, of course, you could ...Oh yes - selectivity... or, of course, you could just forget that time is limited and pretend that you'll have enough....

At one time I would have just passed on the print you've shown but now I would try and see something in it before moving on.
