I am as a rule a patient person. I have like most people had to make my own way through life and like most people have had to grow a thick skin. The only time I count to ten is when I come up against the modern day Jobsworths who know it all but canāt walk and whistle at the same time without a rule book. All brains and no common sense.
Good grief, Pauline, so many questions in one post - do you have thumb screws and a rubber cosh to hand?
OK - I am extremely patient with Cats, most animals, card making, Cats, cookery, jewellery making, Cats, some colouring books if they are over patterned or repetitive, and pattern drafting/dress designing. Oh - did I mention Cats?
When it comes to people - I donāt tolerate fools easily - though am trying to fix that. I was patient with those I trained when at work - they said so anyway!
I post so many topics ST, I forget which one Iām in,
I find you extremely patient and well mannered on here, also extremely helpful.ā¦as with my butternut squashā¦all those years Iāve been struggling peeling itā¦a question so easy to ask yet only came into my mind yesterday to ask, I just thought there must be an easier way to peel this,
I know you were, I can see you are full of funā¦I used to be, mine has got up and left at the moment,ā¦my humour had to be taken into checkā¦it was way off the scale at times, bit OTT.
I got carried away with it, not realising it could sound offensive to others.
Yes you certainly had patience on the old site, you can also see it in your posts, admin also has that gift, as does Meg.,Susan etc,and a few others on this siteā¦itās wonderful if you possess it and can hold onto itā¦
For me I think itās understanding patience and working on it,imo.
I worked for many years in a profession where patience was an absolute necessity and besides doing quite well at it I got quite a lot of praise, some of the more notable examples of which I keep to this day.
I do not however have very much patience for those that are dishonest; who intentionally mislead; who coerce or antagonise; or who deliberately cause or seek to cause pain or suffering.
Since facing death I think that my patience with the innocent has probably grown but not with those as mentioned above, because why anybody would choose to spend what time they have on this planet being consciously disagreeable IMHO can only be because such people are not nice people.
