John Doe (for obvious reasons) Dear John, You’re kidding right? Dear John. Sorry … it was much too easy. Anyway, this is an old story froth with danger. Let’s take a look at it from several angles. My guess is that if there are troubles in the marriage he knows it. Let’s say what you say is true and you tell him. It is automatically your word against hers. How do you think you would do there? The other scene is if you say nothing and he finds out after the fact that you knew right along you’re dead meat I suspect. What do you think? You could however speak right up and then they get separated and both blame you … you nose ball you. You could approach the wife who is having the fling and perhaps get your butt threatened by the other guy for interfering or slapped in the mug for suggesting she’s a “lady of the evening” or something. Gee have you considered that angle? That would be something. Or you could sit down with your buddy and say, “If I knew something I thought you should know but it would really upset you, would you expect me to tell you or would you prefer I minded my own business?” See what he says. He might just surprise you a little … like guess. Finally you could just mind your own business. If the whole sordid thing could stay in the shadows they may just work it out in private. However if you’ve flapped your gums and told someone what you know you are in a world of horse poop my fair feathered friend. That’s called gossip and someone will eventually tell someone who you would rather not hear that you’ve talked about your best buddy’s troubles behind his back. I bet you’ve been asking everyone who would listen what they would do! Geeze man … you’re in more trouble than her come to think of it! Maybe you should leave town or go on a cruise. How about a name change? Aren’t you glad you know? Al Dear Al, I like your column. You’ve sure spiced things up in our little town!I’m considering taking a job that pays more, but I’d have to move 250 miles away from home and I’m afraid I’d miss my family and friends too much. I don’t know a soul in the town I’ve been offered a promotion/transfer to. Signed, Perplexed Dear perplexed, Well, this is as good a time as any to spread your wings. Your real friends will stay such, although the list may end up being smaller than you expect. Family is stuck with you no matter what. I guess the key is whether this is a career or just a job. Refusing a move that is a step up in your career is not wise and doing such means it’s time to send out your resume. My view is you can always get a new job at your age so I might go for the brave new world to test my metal. I’m sure you’ll get the “oh no’s” from the group but 250 miles is nothing really; four or five hours by car at most if you really take your time. Fear is normal when we do anything new. Why don’t you talk to your boss about going out to the new site for a few days to test the waters? It would give you time to scout the area, meet the new employees, and see what’s available for apartments and the like. Maybe a girl friend could go along and you guys can make a weekend of it. You seem like a bright young woman. I’m sure you’ll make the best choice for you. You could always change your mind. Women are really good at that! You can do it! Al _.·´¯)What's up with this?(¯`·._ With the election season rapidly approaching we are about to get bombed with all sorts of attack ads about the opposition. We claim to hate this type of stuff but the truth is it tends to be very effective. Why? Well most people are either too busy, too tired after a long day, or just not interested enough to do their homework so we let the ad companies and political parties do it for us. The result tends to be the best politicians get elected and re-elected rather than the best candidate. That's not to say that on occasion the politician isn't the best candidate. With forty-six percent of registered voters voting in the last presidential election that means that less than twenty five percent of the qualified voters chose our national leadership. If you aren't happy with your government guess who's fault it is. Vote this year. _.·´¯) Boomer HA! HA! (¯`·._ Boy: Dad! ... Mom just backed out of the garage and went right over my bike! Dad: Serves you right son for leaving it in the front yard. _.·´¯)Remarks from the peanut gallery (¯`·._ "I'm having a boy Mom and Dad ..." Well ... let's see ... four girls and three boys. So who's going to even this off :) Have fun. It's later than you think. Al Member Ezine PA _.·´¯) General Info (¯`·._ Ask Boomer Al is an opt-in ezine available by subscription only.
