Acronym of the day

[Texsox]

From an email list serve I'm on. I've cut the subject matter a bit, the advice holds well. BTW, he will be flamed, harassed, and made to pay for jumping on this particular guy's stuff.

Personally, I'd like to trek with a guy like Pete ********.  Pete, you

have a FIDO attitude that would make a trek an enjoyable experience.

What is "FIDO", you may ask?  This is a family website so I'll PC-ize

it.  In the Army, FIDO means "Forget It.  Drive On."  FIDO. It's not

sweating the small stuff, it's dealing with it, it's playing the hand

that you are dealt, it's sucking it up, toughing it out, cowboying up.

It's not griping about things you can't change anyway.  It's a mindset,

a philosophical bent, that makes hard days easier.  Don't like granola

for breakfast? FIDO.  Raining? FIDO.  Broke your toe the night before

going to Philmont?  FIDO.

 

Try it.  It works.
