Robby - Good to hear about the job possibility in Arizona. Then you will be right next to California. I would POJA it with your wife though.

Define this for me.

It's not an IDEAL solution, but it allows me to provide for my S. It would also allow her to quit her second job.

It would be VERY HARD for me to do. Very hard. But I'm willing to do it for him.

and her.

Robby -

What I mean is that you need to discuss this with your wife and get her approval. It would be a huge step to move away from her and your son, unless she was willing to move with you. I would ask her. Your marriage is on shaky ground now.

Important notice:
The Mayor's Office will be closed beginning approximately 6 pm on Thursday, December 23, 2004. The Mayor's Office will be closed so that we can wax the floors. While we plan to reopen the Mayor's Office by 8 am on Friday, December 24, 2004, the Mayor's Office will remain closed until the floors are waxed and the wax has dried, and that may be earlier or later than the time and date indicated.
Thank you for your patience. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Believer,

I have asked her. She is not willing to move. Her parents are building a new house down here and will be moving next fall. Plus, she isn't in love with me anymore.

Well I don't have the job yet! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

We've talked about it but are holding off on more discussion until I get the job.

Robby, it's such a huge step to take. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

Will providing for him compensate for not being there with him? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

At least you and your w are talking about it.


BTW you have got out of Idiotville contractors to wax the floors haven't you? It wasn't going to be the way I was going to spend Christmas Eve. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> On my hands and knees so to speak. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Hee hee, FF, you ARE funny.

After reading your last jokes I was going to suggest you read Jelly's present to LINY.

I'm just kidding. They WERE funny in a sort of funny groan sort of way. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

That's what I thought.

It really is a catch 22 for you isn't it? Great new job but probably being miserable a lot of the time while you're doing it.

Robby, I'm like you, I find it hard to give other people advice because ultimately it's your life and your decision.

Just know, we'll all support you whatever you decide to do.

KiwiJ. thinks I am funny! hee hee

Yes, I know those were groaners but I am a sucker for that Henny Youngman type humor. My H is so cornball and I love him for it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Robby, could this job be a way to bridge into a better job where you live now? Like spend a couple years there and hop to a job back where your W and S are? AZ and FL are soooo far apart. On the upside, we could have a southwest Iville party!

Sorry for your dilemna. Don't know your faith, but right now Robby I would get down on my knees and ask for God's guidance.
