Hi Mama, Hi Sunshine!

Mama, I am glad that things were not too bad with your men. Perhaps Papa Bear just realized that getting all crazy over it all just was'nt worth it after all. Thats good!

I did not have a very good day yesterday, but dont really feel like talking about it. Its ok, I will get my crap together so to speak. I may have to go back on the Antabuse again... sigh. I would really like to do this on my own, but perhaps I am the type of person who really does need the Antabuse, like K-9 and Johnny. They both did and are doing fabulous with it.

I have to work in a little bit at my crappy job, another sigh!! Im sorry having a pity party today!!

My new "boyfriend" is also having some serious health issues. Yesterday he was waiting on tests back done on his liver. He has some lumps? on his liver?

He was supposed to call me yesterday and tell me what the results were. Well, I have tried to call, texted him, and I get no reply. Im getting a very bad feeling.

Sorry, Im just venting a bit. I will be ok, I promise!! I hope you all are having a better day!!!

Hi Biz - hope you have a wonderful day on your bike - not sure about where you are but the weather here is amazing - just wonderful for a bike ride.

Overit - sorry to hear about your boyfriend - and as for the antabuse, I would take it like a shot, but am scared silly of it. I did try it once - I ended up taking maybe 1/3 tab and then worrying about everything and anything I put in my mouth or on my body in case there might have been AL in it - I even wouldn't have some of the cake that someone brought in to work in case there was vanilla extract in it (I know stupid - but I was really paranoid about i!!).

I have just got back from picking up Maggie's newest medicine from the vet - she takes three different tabs twice a day!! She takes more than I do LOL. I need to start getting ready for work. SO looking forward to my day off tomorrow.

Have a wonderful day everyone - hang in there all of you, love and hugs to all,

Sun xx

Just a check in. I've been having a very emotional few days, think it's the changing of seasons. This time of year has always affected me, and I'm thinking SO much of my Daddy. Didn't help I've been working all day on my rentals, that HE made, on my family land of centuries. It's like everything from my earliest memories come back there. I love it, but I get SO sad, missing them all.
I'm shaking it off, OK? Taylor wants to move in the cabin there, and it is really a little fairy tale place. She has everything worked out in her little modern mind, except the realities. But she brought her own little wrecking crew to do the cleaning today, and saved me all the grief. (Oh, it WILL cost me!!) Still, I'm happy. Only home for a minute b/c something made Tinker sick, and she had a couple of accidents. When I left, Hubs was going in to inspect what we were paying for. :H



I'm sorry I haven't addressed everyone. It's been that kind of a day for me. But MB, those Southern sayings just come to me, and I can't force them. Maybe the fact I live in Plumb Nelly has something to do with it.

Hi Biz, Sunshine, Ruby! Hey Tlrgs, sorry cross posted.

Thats a beautiful cabin Ruby, I am kinda jealous! My father has a beautiful home in the woods of Michigan. When I am there with my family, I just feel so much at peace. Peace is such a wonderful feeling, just wish I could feel it more.

Thanks for the well Wishes, Biz and Sunshine. I did talk to my boyfriend today (I think I have a boyfriend OMG!!!!) and he has not heard anything back from the doctor yet. I really hope he is going to be ok. I have been single for many many many years, and I finally find somebody I like, and now this. Lets just pray its nothing serious.

Ahhhh, the Antabuse... I worked pretty well when I was taking it, just didnt work well when I was NOT taking it. I honestly have no idea how people can get permantly sober WITHOUT taking Antabuse. Alcohol is like the Devil it just keeps tempting me to come back come back!!!

I may just surprise myself and just pop the Antabuse again. Perhaps with Antabuse, all of you guys and maybe some counciling??? Thats sounds like a pretty good plan!!

Hope your all having a good day!

OverIt, I've heard horrible stories about the antabuse! Have you considered taking topamax? Heard good things about it working well. I am praying for your boyfriend's tests results to come back normal and I am also praying for your relationship. You don't need counseling, that is what we are here for! "Peace is such a wonderful feeling, just wish I could feel it more." We all want deperately to live in that peaceful state of existance! Ruby, I had never heard of persimmon tree until Paul and I came across one loaded down and he said they were delicious and then gave me a green one! That was the most sour, horrible thing I ever put in my mouth! LO! Ruby, what has happened to Tinker? Roger, so glad Sue feels better and I hope you enjoy your weekend with Luke! Thank you for your advice, I am giving Paul lots of space today, but he is being extra nice to me today! Prayer works! Sunshine, thank you for your encouragement. I hope you enjoy your day off tomoorrow and I hope Mags is feeling better. MB, thanks for your encouragement. I know I can't fix him, only God can. Grateful, hope you have a good time with your precious Addison and are able to get some rest this weekend. Biz, riding a mountain bike sounds so wonderful, I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Tony, where are you! Anyone else I missed, I love you all so much. I'm not feeling good so I'm going to sit out on my patio and watch it rain and read my book. Love, Vicki

Hi Vicki!!

Thank you for praying about my boyfriends health and our relationship. To be honest, not sure where it is going, only God knows that. All I know is that he is just a wonderful man who is really really sweet to me. The first time I met him I was NOT attracted! Then he opened his mouth and I began seeing what a sweet sweet man. It completely changed everything to me. I have realized, its about somebodys heart after all.

I did pretty good with the Antabuse Vicki. The only scary thing about Antabuse is that you cannot drink on it! If you DO drink on Antabuse, that is the scary part.

Love you guys!!!! I have to go to work as well. Yuk!!!

Where's our Birdy today, and Biz, Tony, on and on! Hope they're out having a great day.
Over, treasure every minute with your daddy. I feel mine so acutely when I'm on the country land. It's a very long story, but Daddy never had a place that truly belonged to his family. They moved all the time. So owning land was SO important to him. He struggled against his past all his life, and was dead level determined to leave us with something to own. Ironic I ended up with the land my Momma had passed down, and my brother even diluted that (which Daddy had worried about). Brother constantly tries to get my sister and I to trade our shares in the rural, practically worthless now, land, for our shares in a property adjoining a state bypass. Over my dead body. Don't care about it, but it's mine and he wants it, and I will keep it. Have advised my sister the same, but her choice.
There is a long ugly story behind all this, not that I'll not be saying right now, except this was Daddy's worst fear, and all the will info was made after Daddy died and Momma was on morphine. Sis and I were told she didn't want anyone to know the details. People get weird, and ugly, when there are things they want. I still love my brother, but have lost all respect for him He has his own past to face.
Anyway, if you want to see me in action, you should be here for this. I don't get mad any more. But my sister needs protection. (long story there too about bro has done) and I can and will face this.

I've been absolutely worthless today. I have been sitting on the patio reading my book and listening to it rain, so very peaceful. I got a call from a friend, who reads our posts and admires many people in our family, but does not have the time to post and acknowledge everyone like we do. Anyway, she has decided to leave the site, which really saddens me because the reason she is leaving is because of those who keep attacking others, those who think they know everything and are so ready to tell people how wrong they are. One person in particular who sent me a sweet but hurtful letter has hurt someone she loved and she is very discouraged with the site. It's so sad that there are people here for any other reason than to help and encourage others. I love you all and hope you are haing a good day. Vicki
