Oh this is such a nice thread. Hope BigJohn is ok.

As for happy moments, I guess I have many but one would be my first time using a pendulum and discovering that a kid I used to teach middle-school math to went on to go to highly coveted high school and was attending college as a math major. I had no idea I had made such a huge difference in this kid's life. Of course, this pendulum situation could be delusion but it was spinning really fast at the time and all that so I believed it. Plus I forgot the kid's last name so I had no way of verifying but maybe one day I'll know the truth, who knows lol
