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

OI, Wow!! I won't even ASK which of us are the 'favorite' people!! :H You are so welcome to join us anytime, all the time. (BTW, I luuuurve Minnie too!)
We make not be as quick, sassy, urbane, as some other threads, but we make up for it in dedication, to our goal, and our family here. I just realized; in my 2 years (this month) here, this thread T (you'll have to learn our code - T is tlrgs, or Roger (or Rog)) sorry I'm confusing!! this is the only place I've really felt FAMILY, and what it means to me. People care, and we're all so different, but alike.
Hey! You're not to far to make the cabin!! Dang, think I need to run a bus to pick people up! All good.

I DO know the history of this house. It was built around 1830, by a very prominent family in the city, who had a son who was a drunkard (how the circle goes round!!). This was actually the edge of the wilderness at the time, so they built him a fine house, brought him out here where he could no longer embarrass them easily. I know little about his time here. Around 1900, another family bought the house, and lived here while they raised 5 children. I knew those children well, one was my teacher, and they were an odd bunch. I finally bought the house from the youngest son, and moved it a few miles to my property.
The stuff that happened started as soon as we bought it, before Daddy moved it. (too be continued in the bestseller by RubyWillow) :H

I understand, bubba. Someone's stupidity almost hurt/killed your loved ones. But I know you thought, too - that was me a few years ago.
Again, it's so wonderful they're OK. And you were great. Controlling your anger is also another a test for you, I know, and you managed that too. You continue to amaze! :hug:

Wow-since I was on this morning, you all have been chatty!!! First, let me say welcome to Overit!! I am also so glad to see you here. I love reading your posts and admire how you are a wonderful, single mother on your own with no family close by! (Oh-I hope that is right, or am I confusing you with someone else?) Please join us.....I am so much closer to my friends here than I am with my own family! Honest! Mama Bear-you really had the day from Hell, didn't you? Well, guess what, it's over and today is a brand new day and new chance. I 100% agree with Roger that the battle is always with us....I'm almost to one year and I still get cravings - every once in a while - especially if I am in pain or when I see my husband drinking every night. I guess it will always be with me.....but it's so good to remember how much better off I am without that poison. Hugs to you, sweetie.

Ruby-thank you for your sweet post...I don't mind getting lost in the midst here...at least I know I am safe - kind of like Maddie wrapped up in her blanket in your living room or at the cabin. Now shooo those fleas away!! By the way - when is your 2 year anniversary? We have to have a BIG party - I didn't miss it already did I?

Vicki, Sunny, Roger, Rusty, Panno, Bird, IAD and the rest of the "Walton" family....have a great day and SMILE - even if you don't feel like it. I know I missed somebody - but I'm not wishing a bunch of fleas on me like Ruby did!!!!! I hate fleas!!

Love ya all,
Kelly

I've posted this before, and I'm sure I'll post it again. This has too many connections (through Alison) and too much meaning for me to let it get lost. It's how I feel. Beside being a Godly woman, a living prayer.
And besides, you all know I'm a natural born Southern smart-ass!! :H
For Biz, and everyone else struggling with life today. Listen, it means something.

Thank you, Ruby. I absolutely love Alison Krauss and her voice and that song means so much. Do you also know her like you know Alan Jackson? (I think that is so cool, btw, that you are friends with Alan's Mom).

Wow!

I only posted a "Hello" an hour ago, and look how many "Hello's" I got back! Thank you so much everyone!

Grateful... Yes, you are right. I am a single Mom of a 6 year old little boy. All of my wonderful family lives up in Michigan, so basically I do this all on my own. Well, not really alone, I have all of you. :h

I think thats amazing you are all meeting up at Ruby's cabin. That is just SO awesome! I bet that will be one HELL of a good time! Not sure if possible, but I would surely love to join in too.

Thank you all for Welcoming me here, I will definately be adding this Thread to my daily MWO log ins.

All of you be Blessed today.

Grate, Alison was just starting out and played a lot up in the mountains of North Georgia. We knew, through our daughter, and Bluegrass promoter in the area, and she played there in small venues LONG before she ended up at the Oscars.
No, it wouldn't matter if Alan was a ditch digger. I love and adore his mom. She is so beautiful. I painted her a picture of her childhood home, and included (from her stories to me) her late husband striding up the road to her house to ask to marry her. Just such a sweet couple, and as she told me, 'I lived a fairy tale.' That's so rare.

Oh, and over, give me the general city you live in and I can give you mileage and time to reach us. I'll happily try to rent my neighbors cottage if we get overflow!!! This is my big gift to me this year. And HEY! There might still be muscadines in the woods!! :H
(I'm doin' every damn thing I know to tempt ya'll!!)

OVERIT, I AM SO HAPPY YOU FINALLY CAME TO OUR FAMILY! I told you there were ALOT of great people here and we treat one another as family. Some of us are on day 1, 2 or 3 and some of us are on day 18 (YAH, ME!) and some of them are 1 and 2 years sober! We are all here for one thing, to GET and STAY sober! Each one of us have our difficulties and we share them with one another. Sometimes we get silly (IAD: Tony is a hoot!) and sometimes we have alot of fun, but most times we are busy loving on and encouraging one another. I hope you will feel welcome here and stick around! Roger, thanks for all your wise, encouraging words today! I hope everyone has a very blessed day! I LOVE ALL OF YOU SO MUCH! Vicki

Vicki,

I've said it before, and I will say it again. I think you are a true Angel. If the world had more people in it like the ones on this site, then the world would most likely be a much happier place!

Perhaps its through all of the suffering that we endure that makes us more tender hearted people, or at least I try to be. God never meant for our walk through life to be easy, and its through other peoples kindness that He shows us the same mercy that He graced us with. :l

Hi all
Welocome over and please come to cabin. Rubes maybe you can sell tickets to haunted house and wont have to rent rentals anymore. T and mb sorry about your cars but good everyone is ok. That a good post t about choices. Saw a quote somewhere(may have been here). Cant remember exactly how it went but it was something like you dont have to do anything to keep moving forward but keep facing the same way. And I guess that is true if you have a slip up it makes things more difficult. That period of time when we are making the decision to have the slip is anxiety filled and sometimes for me it goes on for days thinking about it. That bug buzzing around in my brain. Trying to get me sidetracked. Then if I drink the 2 or so days to get feeling back normal, whatever that is. Anyway I've been trying to think lately its easier just to face forward than go through all that. Having the same problem with pizza as in boy I sure want another slice but know I will feel like hell if I do. I swear its damn near everything...well been off to park walking and walking. Go for now and get cleaned up...
