Just remember that if you have a problem that can't be solved don't give up because there is an answer out there some where.

The answer may never be "out there". Make the answer yourself. We are still grubby little Sapiens hoping to be smart.

Or not.
Sometimes the problem is so complex one can only try to get a little closer to something a tiny bit better. Sometimes the question is so absurd that obviously, there can be no answer. Why even ask the question? Sometimes, no one knows if there is an answer. Maybe you find it tomorrow, maybe you never find out that there is none.

And YOU remember that a 'problem' is merely an 'answer' in disguise. 🙂

Elaborate on that a little more, please. Because right now it looks like a page out of a "daily positive thoughts" calendar.

Yeah but the answer might be "Suck it up and live with it."

I actually used to tell MH clients this. I did also caution them that the answer to this problem might be unthinkable to them. But there is always an option.

It's true, but often difficult to picture, which is necessary for allowing what you want, to happen.

Yeah, but it might not be the right answer.

This is the point at which I always call an Engineering friend..... 😉

Absolutely!!! Swing by here if you're really stuck! There are plenty of us who would love to give our advice!!!
Seriously. There are an awful lot of good people here. Really intelligent people.
If you talk to enough people, you're likely to find someone with something useful to offer.

Why do you think there’s an answer or solution to every problem? I assure you, there’s not.

To paraphrase a popular saying, sometimes the answer is "no".

Tell me about it... all those guys that die and don't comeback to tell me about it.

No isn’t the same as no solution, though. @Hicks66
