GOOD because, obviously, they love you lots. Right? ;) Anyway glad to hear from you but sorry to hear everything is so overwhelming right now! Was it Inspector or DD that advised maybe trying to seek help with some of this (perhaps a stress councilor at work, or else and outside source?)? That's good advice, seems to me. Good luck, bro!

33	sarahwithbaloo Tue 5/13/2008 6:31a	Hi all I'm around just reading more than posting which is not that unusual for me but I guess I have not actually posted in a while. Not been on line so much recently getting sorted as both kids birthday's in the next couple of weeks starting with Mikey on Friday. UKfan I will contact you soon see if you guys want to get together to do somthing around our BD.
34	u k fan Tue 5/13/2008 6:51a	Definitely. I'm seriously considering a trip to DLP the following week to renew my AP. Wow! Mikey's going to be 5!!!
35	davewasbaloo Tue 5/13/2008 6:57a	Yep, we have been "real" friends for nearly 5 years, and met in cyber space about 7 years ago. Scary huh? First time we saw each other was over 5 years ago, we had only just found out Sarah was pregnent when we went to Star City in Brum with the cuddly Stitch, wearing hawaiian gear.
36	Stacers76 Tue 5/13/2008 7:24a	Hello Baloos! I just wanted to say thank you to you both while you are still here, just in case you leave us for awhile. You've both always offered kind words, thoughts, and bear hugs when I've posted in my times of turmoil, and it's truly appreciated. I hope over time things get easier, taking a break is understandable and hopefully that really cool outlook you have toward Disneyland will bring you back :o) Best thoughts for all of you, take care.

38	danyoung Tue 5/13/2008 8:07a	dave buddy, you know we've had our words in the past. But I think we've always kept things civil between us, which is of great value to me. I can certainly relate to pressures in the workplace, as I'm in the last 2 weeks of my annual buildup of our big 4-month extraveganza. While my job isn't at stake (at least I hope not!), the pressure is pretty huge, and I'm more than ready for it all to be over. So, from one pressured guy to an even greater pressured guy, do what you need to do to keep your sanity, and remember that you have friends here!
39	davewasbaloo Tue 5/13/2008 8:14a	Thanks Stacer76, that is very kind. Dan - you and I have not always seen eye to eye on the WDW front, but I have always repected and enjoyed your views and opinion. Thank you for your supportive thoughts. I'm off to brief the press now. Fingers crossed.

Dave, if you could find someone in your line of work but not your company, sort of a mentor, that would be great to talk to. Also a company counselor if there are some "safe" things you could discuss, AND a good friend just to vent. I agree with getting some exercise - just to get outside for a short walk in a park or other pretty "nature" area (how brilliant if Sarah to kidnap you to Legoland!). I think you do need to find a "quiet place" in your head for at least a short time every day. Walking can be/create an easy form of "meditiation." All my best to you friend! Feel free to email or call me. I'm just coming off a very busy period and will have time to listen :-)
