Not laughing or making fun of you....but rather I agree with you and OFarmer. I believe your position is..."cautiously optimistic".
Yes. Counting one's chickens before the incubation period is complete is liken to having egg on one's face.
But with that being said, I remain very positive of our 'Fate'. So Greeneyes, Deb...you'll hear no doom and gloom from me. I like positive thinkers. That's what makes this board so darn good. Sweet and sour. Peanut butter and chocolate. Caramel and apples. Salt and pepper. A full spectrum of personalities. We have those who are polar opposites and those who are like two peas in a pod. It's great.
Best Wishes,
