Originally Posted By chickendumpling Oh, Ed. Dang man. I'm sorry to hear that. And don't you for a minute think you sound needy! You know full well how much we all care about you and what happens to you! I will definitely pray for the *right* job to open up ASAP! Until then, know that I am thinking good thoughts for you and sending hugs your way.

Our hopes and prayers are with you.
