    Maslow.....Keep your cool. She can accuse you all she wants.....but is their proof. Hang in their...and lay off the sauce.....stay here for support... AA is cool too, if you feel the need. IAD

      Maslow, sounds like you are going through a divorce and I know from experience divorce is very painful and very stressful. You have got to stop drinking so you will have a clear mind to get through this and to make sure you are able to have time with your babies. Stay on the boards as much as possible. Try to stay busy so you won't dwell on the pain. Please let us help you through it. I hope everyone has a great night. Love you all bunches, Vicki
      I'm not what I should be, I'm not what I could be. I'm definetly not who I want to be,
      but I'm sure not who I used to be!

          Just lost a post 'cause of a wrong key!!
          Mas, hang in there. You really don't even know how important your role is to your children. Our son just went thru a nasty divorce, and tho he came out on top, he's having trouble separating himself from his ex (who wants him back!) It's really hard. I know. But this is very important, right now. The next time you look at a bottle, picture your children, and ask yourself which is more important. You will make the right decision.
          SB, after most of my life with a mechanic, and his *#$^ father in my backyard, I HATE the sound of a revving motor!! He has really toned down his 'grease monkey' attitude too, but not FIL and son. I just DON'T get it. I love the quiet sound of the wind, trees, rivers. Everything else seems like such a violation.I guess I am getting old!! :H
          Rog, you know you are always welcome here. Hard for me to plan very far in advance, but you name the date and we'll make it work. I'm so sorry for the red tape your going through. Another reason I don't think we need anymore 'federalizing' from our government.
          Everyone else out there, I love you to pieces. Glad to have my keyboard back so I have some communication here. SOS, wish I had some of the stuff from your garden!!! Mine is piddly, since I'm gone so much! And Tony, the stuff with Tiger all happened just 'cause he ran into a tree and a bunch of naked women fell out!!!
          Had a good time at the reunion tonight. Two people asked me what I had in my diet coke bottle; guess my reputation preceded me. But since Hubs got the drinks for me and I didn't even have a bag with me, I just decided it wasn't worth worrying about. As he told one of the people, 'she's fine, she's always this crazy!' Compliment or insult, doesn't matter. I know, and he knows, and that's all that counts.
          Last thing: A woman I've known for 53 years, went through 12 years at school together, our parents knew each other well, set me up for first date with Hubs and dated his best friend, is not expected to live through the night. She ended up in a bad situation, became a bartender, and 2 years ago began to experience extreme symptoms of cirrohsis. She wouldn't go to the doctor b/c she didn't want to stop drinking. She was the sweet, girly, tiny little girl with the long hair and soft voice all the guys loved in school, and now to have this ugly end to her life is heartbreaking. I've had too much death and pain in my life in the last 5 months. AL has NOTHING to offer; it's a thief, a cheat, and a murderer. I hope this may have an impact on someone other than me. Our lives are worth SO much more.
          Thanks for listening to my rant. Again, I do love you all.

              The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!!

              I woke up at 9:00 AM!!! That's practically ALL day for me :H Off on another road trip to the wonderful, loud, hot, crazy BD party. Hubs asked me again why we're going. I told him AB may not pay much attention to us while we're there, but would DEF notice if we weren't!! SIL said once they could always count on me showing up for the kids things, since I know how important it is to them to have someone they love there. A great compliment, considering I'm usually thought of as the least reliable grandparent, but often the only one there. Oh well, things will change. I don't understand how a grandmother can plan a big trip on their grandchild's birthday, when they travel the world regularly. It's not like the date changes or something. :H
              Anyway, I've been waxing nostalgic lately, what with all the reunions and losses and changes around here. The only regret in my life is time I lost to AL, and it's consequences. It truly is like a curse that hopefully I've broken.

                Hey Yall,

                Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday. Headed to the lake to hang with the family. Have worked really hard on coursework and need to catch up on work work. And oh the house work. And yard work!! Never ending but so grateful to feel good and be sober. Now, I need to address all of you by name but am afraid I will forget someone. Dang, I'm going to have to start making notes! I sure do love this thread and thank you all for being here.

                    Happy Sunday, family! Hope everyone is having a good day. Ruby, girl, you just keep on posting those feelings about alcohol. It does us all good to keep reinforcing our decision NOT to drink! I am so sorry about your long time friend. Tink is so precious. I know you love him/her to pieces! Maslow, we are so happy to have you as part of our family. My thoughts and prayers are with you, my friend. Roger, so sorry you are having troubles with your business. Guess hubby needs to take his signs off the truck before we go to Florida. We are suppose to leave in the morning. Not real excited. The oil has hit Navarre and the beaches are closed and BP is there cleaning up. We are not going to be able to get in the oceean and hell, we have a pool here. Why exactly are we going? To hang out with drunk, partying family members, UGH ... Anyways, I did not even express my thankfulness and excitement to have my computer back and working! My son replaced the video card and the power supply. This morning no computer. The monitor has died! Oh, boy!!! Well, got to pack and put up turnip greens today. Garden is still floating in water, but atleast it's not raining today. Where is MB and Grateful? We miss you guys. Love you all, Vicki

                        I am here Vicks....was dozing on the sofe and never heard the phone ring. I will have to google Navarre and see if you will be close to me in Jacksonville.
                        Rubes..I have been meaning to tell you the picture if Tinks sleeping in the car is PRECIOUS. Hallmark is hosting a "Cutest Pets" contest...you should enter that picture with some type of clever sentiment and thenTinks may be in all the Hallmarks in the world!!!!! I have no idea if there are monetary prizes.
                        Rog, baby....so sorry you are stressed out with a bunch of bureaucratic red tape BS. Papa Bear and I went through a stck of junk we need to do this morning and I got so overwhelmed, I just got up and left. taxes for this, tags for that......and Papa made NO money last month...so believe you.....I feel you!!
                        We even has to cash in college savings bonds to make the house payment last month. I keep saying my prayers and hope one of them will be answered one day.
                        OK enough bitching....
                        off to Nana's for our traditional Sunday night dinner
                        BTW.....BE STRONG MASLOW.....
                        I love my family more than alcohol.:h

                          Hello all !
                          MamaB - hope uve had a restful weekend...
                          Rubes - great 2 have ur reflective posts again. And damn, those steps look mean ! Bet u looked a million dollars at the reunion...
                          Maslow - are you up & about yet ? Be good 2 hear how ur doin...
                          Myra - u are sounding strong & focused. Lots 2 do by the sound of it... keep some time 4 chillin wont u ? the housework can sometimes wait a while...
                          Vicky - so glad its stopped raining ! Ur optimism & faith are shining again - lovely 2 hear. You keep safe love whatever the others get up to...listening to drunks, what a bore, would rather watch paint dry...I'd fake a stomach ache & go 2 bed with a good book & a cuppa !
                          T - man i'm sorry 2 hear about ur troubles. You work so damn hard - it sounds very unfair... I'm bit confused about what the issue is with van signs..? Is there any thing you can do 2 beat them at their own game ??? Either way, don't let the bastards get u down ! Your sobriety is worth more than letting their shit stick 2 it..... . Keep venting bud to stay strong...

                          Well I'm working extra shifts at the cafe this week so will need to watch my sleep & eat well... Waiting on that interview date hopefully... Am feeling more unsettled lately - sometimes really excited & up, then kind of worried & down.There's a real buzz around... I'm sure some of it is money worries building.. so will get my arse into turbo this week...

                          Supersonic shifting all !

                            Goldie, you are so sweet with all your compliments and encouragement. I pray you get that new job and all your money struggles are over! You, too, MB! Are the new bosses any better and see that you deserve a raise? I am so glad you got some rest today. The condo is 5 hours away from you and my house is 8 hours. Damn, I know that is far but it would really be AWESOME if you and hubby could come. Well, I am whooped! I got all the grass out of the garden and picked eveything. Put up 5 quarts of turnip greens and roots. Now I gotta pack and get ready to go. Not looking forward to this trip at all. I am such a homebody. I hate to leave my house, my garden, my pool and especially my dog! There is a computer at the condo, so I will be able to stay in touch with you this time. I love you all so much and hope everyone has a GREAT week! Vicki

                                FINALLY!! No more trips or gatherings planned this week. Hubs said he was SO looking forward to not travelling this week!
                                Baby Brother, you are so strong. Lean on us a while til this crisis passes, and it will. The whole world is crazy right now. I was listening to talk radio during the ride today and the news is all so grim. I didn't vote for Obama and thoroughly dislike his politics, but he is our president and I had prayed he would really be a great one. I am so disappointed in the way things are going at a time when we truly need a leader, and the working person needs to be helped and listened to. You, MB, Gold, deserve better. Certainly don't want to debate politics, but our country, our people, are in trouble.
                                Vick, hope you have a great trip, (and a sober one). So sorry about the oil. It's such a horrible, horrible thing, and I'm afraid our Gulf may never be the same, and now we find out the Energy Commisision has been selling itself to the highest bidder for years to look the other way. I believe whole-heartedly in accountability, and I'm afraid we have forgotten to teach our children that. Too many people today don't 'own' their mistakes, and try to make them right. Instead, they rely on excuses. Two things I live by: 1) 'Use it up, wear it out. Make it do or do without'; and 2) 'If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.' And Ted Turner's 'Lead, follow, or get out of the way.'
                                Anyway, sorry about the soap-box again. :H I'm just passionate about this country, and my friends.
                                Bird, Tony, Myra, - Oh! everyone!! Have a great week out there, and make yourself count and be happy. Love ya'll!!!
