I usually start out with, I should be able to do that,  and then I try,  if
it works and 90% of the time it does, I'm happy, if not I say,  hmmmm now
how can I make this work, about 90% of that time I work out a way for that
too. I agree with you, it frustrates me too to see people just like me that
won't try to do a lot of what I do but sit there saying "I wish I could",  I
don't know why, that could just be me, but that burns me up so bad.
