In the next couple of days I will be making an very, very big career decision. I’ll let you know the details when it’s all over. In the meantime, I’d be weirdly comforted by knowing people are doing that thing people do when they pray for /think about/send-out-good-vibes. I figure it’s all good and I’m not even sure I recognize the difference. Know what I mean?
of course, and use us as a “sounding board” if need be…
(and stay away from microwaves…)
Good luck. Just remember: It’s always the darkest just before they turn on the lights.
We’re with you, Dale. ![]()
Better yet, the Lord is with you.
Prayers for what is right.
Sending prayers and good vibes to you; i hope things work out for the best.
P.S. I know you said you can’t tell us about the career change, but in any event, please don’t become a microwave repairman.
All the talk here about our pets has probably inspired him to become a pet psychiatrist!
Yes, Bloomie, that’s true. The annoying thing is that sometimes I feel like the ghost of my Great-Grandmother lives next to my inner light switch flicking it off to save power just as I’m beginning to enjoy the glow.
Dale–here’s hoping your dimmer switch stays on full power!
All best your way, Dale.

Best wishes. I hope you are on the best path. I suggest not actually having them removed, but just get a temporary stopper inserted in the tubes.

Cran said it well, Dale. Prayers for what is right.
Godspeed…

Here’s some vibes.

Good luck, Dale. Leave the rest to good judgment.
My thoughts will be with you.
Dale, the last three or four people I prayed for died, and rather quickly, too, so I gave that up in 1971.
But I will wish you the best.
(Come to think of it, I prayed for a girl named Patti in 1977, and I got her, too, but that didn’t work out at all well, so yes, it’s probably for the best that I just say “Over the top and the best of luck to you, laddy buck.”)
You’re in my thoughts, Dale. I feel sure that however you decide you will grow in the process and find yourself in a place of clarity and understanding on the other side of the decision.

My very best wished to you with this!!! Good luck and hope it will all turn out as you wish!!!

P.S. not to hijack this, I could do with a good new job offer, too
All the best, to be sure.
Trust in God, but tie down your camel.
Em needs a chef. Tell her I sent you.
