azzy!!!!! welcome back!

Very few things make me cry, but this picture did. http://img.tapatalk.com/a6937b10-0159-9aa7.jpg

My parents had to have my lab Scout put to sleep today. Back in may they found out she had leukemia and it was fairly developed. You can see the tumor on her right leg. I wasn't sure I would even get to see her again. Luckily with meds they kept her comfortable most of the summer, but over the last week she turned for the worse, and adjusting the meds didn't help.

We got her at 6 wks old, when I was 8 or 9. I spent a lot of time with her, she was one of the smartest dogs I've ever met, and I don't think she's ever growled at anyone. You could take things out of her mouth and she wouldn't growl. Going home and seeing her yard empty is going to be hard for sure.

Yikes! :eek:

By "working" do you mean schmoozing at the golf course? ;)

Bummer Sid. What mix was the breed? Looks like a great dog.

Bummer Sid. That's always a bitter pill :(

Well, time to open up and admit it. I think I've hit midlife crisis. My business started to tank at the end of last year and has become worse. To the point of not being able to pay my bills this month. I'm tired of the IT industry. I'm mentally just tired and burned out. I don't know what I am going to do and I presently have zero drive or motivation to do do anything.

I am really tired of this.

Oh, and Rick. No, everything is not okay. ;)

Sorry to hear that, Dave. :(

Maybe you can get by on woodworking for a while? If you focus on pricey quality and not quantity it might be fun.

Well, Max. My mom and I had a long talk after dinner. I brought that up and she (in my eyes), wasn't very supportive and doesn't see it happening. Makes it hard to push forward when your parents say things like that. At the same time, when I mention being a bit unsupportive, she gets all pushed out of shape and thinks I am solely blaming them.

Your a skilled wood whisperer Dave. Give it a go if that what you desire, what's to lose?

I don't see what the harm is in trying it out. It is better than simply doing nothing while looking for other jobs. You know you are good at woodworking and have some great projects to show to potential clients.

Let the bums cheer you up Dave
