13. On a serious note, if we actually got the third price
I'll have to ask hubby what he prefers, the Pad or the puter... he is going back to school

15. It would be hard to turn down an iPad (shiny new toy!) for something that could
actually be a wise decision.

Good for him going back to school! I wish him the best!! :hi:

16. Welll we do have enough laptops
so going for the toy (for textbooks) or my ereader, might not be that crazy.

Or just get the puter and donate it to somebody who can really use it.

9. He could have sent me a PM telling me to be patient, but I guess I'll have to
chomp at the bit with those less lucky than I. :hi:

14. There is a trap with that. Not about Skinner, but about people saying to be patient.
Don't change your behavior by waiting for something unless you have seen some follow through in the past. Then out of respect you can wait sort of a trust thing.



For instance, I have not seen any follow through in my personal life from people, so I don't 'wait' for anything or think on patience. Many times people will say be patient just to slow someone down. And on political things I been patient and things were not done in a way that makes sense, so that patience does not need to be given.

And the other thing about patience is it assumes some hierarchical thing. You can be patience with situations that take time to occur, but not to just give people time to stall or deceive.

So forget that patience with people thing, why be patient when not earned.

And I don't think on things like luck, that puts presumption on effect ouside of intent.
