OK I'm in the city late. I thought I'd test drive some touristy things to do with Rags in NY. Top Of The Rock is on my top 3. Leaving there, I'm walking down 5th Ave. pass Hollister and stopped & took this pic. It was -2C at the time. OK they're behind Plexiglas but reportedly they were cold. I'm standing in icy slush as I snapped this!

OMG I just thought that was funny. Then again, I guess it beats flippin burgers at McDonald's for those kids. I'm actually on call tonight due to a big install at client location in Brazil.

Mish, I have to say you sound fantastic, and I bet that garden is looking like a little haven.
But how are the Baclofen side effects now ? Have they subsided ? You certainly seem to have plenty of energy, so I'm guessing that they have. I still get the paralysing tiredness, which is wearing a bit thin at this point.

Thanks, Bridge. I think this is the best I've ever felt in my life. I look ten years younger and feel like I'm in my twenties again as far as hope for a good future goes.
My garden couldn't look less like a haven at the moment. I've been digging out trenches and putting in footings for my wall, so there's piles of dirt, unearthed rubble and old pavers lying all over the place. I've been taking pictures of my progress so, when I have a moment to spare (yeah, right) I'll try to put them up.
I'm feeling great on the Bac, too. I wouldn't say I have no SEs, but in comparison to what they were and compared with being drunk or hungover, this is a walk in the park. I hit the switch at around 200mgs and am sitting on 150mgs at the moment. It really is the 'cure' I hoped it would be. I have complete disinterest in AL and even if someone offered me a drink I really couldn't be bothered. It's lost it's appeal. I'm so glad I went at it like a bull at a gate, never being one to do things by halves. It has brought the life I want much more quickly into reality and I'm happy to be doing things while the weather's so great.
How are you going with Bac?

I'm absolutely over the moon that you and the Raggsys are going to hook up. Brilliant! And it's not even all that far off ...

G'day folk's,

Well, the thought of self sabotage pop's into my guitargod like head too sometimes. It's just a thought we have to manage i think. We must keep perspective, and i for one remind myself what a lucky fecker i really am, and that i would just be a big, whinging, self pitying, pathetic, LAZY, baby, if i decided to check out of society and isolate and drink, in time ending up on the street. There is still a little part of me that finds this attractive, for some unknown reason to me. Strange, scary, but true. BUT. I enjoy my life sober much, much more than a drinking one, so, whenever i get these little thought's, i get a grip, get perspective, know that it would be a universal crime to rip myself off again, remember gratitude, straighten myself up, stand tall, adjust the tackle, and on i go again, into life.

Woke up around 3.00 a.m. feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed. Got back to sleep eventually. Tried counting backward's from 100....nup. Then started counting vegemite jar's. Yep. Got to 56 and was out like a light.

Good stuff on your new living environment Aspy. Must be a load off your mind now, with a young family etc.

Hi Fick's! What is this joint, 24/7 now? Cool. I am still receiving hugs Missy! Here's one for you... :l

Sun's out here. Beeeeeeeauwdiful! A magnificent day to all.

Well said Mr. G. Legend of LYgon Street and beyond.....counting vegemite jars eh? I must remember that one....not :H

I bought a huge bottle of olive leaf extract about a month ago, along with some multi vitamins, and a bottle of acai berry puree which is supposed to be the latest wonder berry. Suppose since I've bought 'em, I ought to take them.

How is Lucy....... If you get another boy doggy you could call him Desi.

Yep Rags,

I dont think they jump into ya mouth uninvited my friend....so open them up and guzzle away....the acia puree sounds noice. Lucy is just the most divine little girl. She has bonded with me really well and has a very serene nature. She looks spookily like Saffy with a much smaller, lighter body. I'll keep the Desi name in mind if I decide to get her a playmate.

I would welcome you ALL with open arms. I'm so excited about meeting Rags. In a sense it just makes my whole MWO experience more real, more tangible, more connected to something beyond the synthetic virtual stuff. Yes, I did just say that. Perhaps I need to cut back on the Acai!!!

thanks to those who talked me from jumping off the cliff this morning! I woke up feeling like crap (emotionally) and have just been trying to work through it today. Mr B and I are a bit grumpy with each other - nothing serious, think it is just one of those times. He has his own demons to deal with at this time of year. I spent the day looking after myself and not worrying about how he was feeling, including going out to get Jelly Tip ice cream and buying "Singing in the Rain" DVD. I may put learning to tap dance on my list of things to do this year!!!

Techie - we are planning 2011 Thanksgving in Atlanta (my brother lives there) and a few days in NY either before or after, so prepare for an onslaught of underroos :H

*skids to a stop*

Sorry boys. Missed ya.

Nope. Rain but no flooding here where I am G string. Mossies are absolutely at plague proportions. Would never live here as my forever home. Too f-ing hot. Need to head south.

Good to hear Mish.
As I've said before, I titrated the bac up VERY conservatively. I'm glad I did, but I think I might have dragged out the side effects as a result, now over two months of dragging my arse around as well. Retrospectively, I may well have titrated up a lot faster. So what do your side effects look like now ?

I can't believe the stuff you lot get up to....all your travels and adventures. I consider myself lucky to enjoy it all vicariously.

Evening, Ratbags ...

I'm roosted and will attempt a more personalised post on the morrow. At this present point in time (read "now"), I'd really like to pick up the local phone book and dial a "Jim's Mowing/Massage" service. Jim should appear, massage, pick up some cash cunningly stashed under the aspidistra, turn off the lights, lock up and bugger off.

I reckon I'd have more luck dialling the farrier.

Nighters.
