Jazi's Mum:welcome:

Good for you for starting the cleaning eating regimen.:goodjob: I gained 10 pounds between Halloween and Christmas due to candy and cookies! When I quit drinking, I lost 30 pounds so now I've put 10 lbs. back on. Not good. Back on the sugar-free horse I go.
Great that you're on Baclofen. I was on it for about 3.5 years and I've been continuously AF for 19 months. My top dosage was 90 mgs. per day and then I was on a maintenance dosage of 20-30 mgs/day. If you suffer from anxiety like I do, Baclofen takes the edge off and removes that compelling urge to drink at the end of the day. I've read many of your posts and find you so intelligent and interesting, too. Sunni's my friend and I love her but I wish she would call me something other than Rustbucket!:H Stay with us.

Hiya Sunni!

Rusty one... you call -1C nipply??? Sheesh. Our high was -20C today! :H

Re my daughter... she 'thinks' it'll be a girl (whoohoo!) but I haven't started knitting yet :H Hoping for another Ultrasound to confirm.

Ohhhhhhh X-POST!!! Just seeing your response! Ok, I won't call you that any more :blush: It was an endearment of the highest order, I assure you! :l

JMum... I saw your Healthy eating thread... sowwy, I cannot join you with that. I will sit here and complain about having a fat rear end but there's no way I can give up all those foods I love :H

Sunni...ooopsss....I goofed up my Fahrenheit to Celcius calculation!!!!:H Whatever -12F is in Celcius was the temp. here today. Geez, I must be an Oscar Meyer Wiener for screwing the math up.:H

Rustbucket is a term of endearment...well, ok, then you can call me that! Ooh, I hope your daughter has a girl, too!

P.S. I hardly think you have a fat rear end. Isn't that you in your avatar?

I will try and get that PM off to you tonight, Sunneroo. Have a good AA meeting tonight. I love how Mr. Sun's ex and you have become friends.....truly a remarkable story.

:H Ohhhh.... ok, -12F is about -25C... yep 'bout the same as here. Nipply, indeed.

YES! Rustbucket WAS a term of endearment! Sheesh. What did you think? However, you have now challenged me to come up with something more.. uhhhm... more... well.. we'll see. Lemme sleep on that :H

I do have a fat rump. Unfortunately, I've probably gained 20lbs since that picture was taken. *Sigh* Partially old age/hormones 'n such... less exercise, late night snacking (big bad habit of mine). Did you ever notice that they play NOTHING but FOOD COMMERCIALS late at night on TV? It's a conspiracy, I tell ya.

Btw, Ex Mrs. Sun and I have been very friendly for years. She's a lovely lady. Her and Mr. Sun have been able to maintain a very cooperative relationship. They have 3 sons together (all great young men, too). We've had Christmas dinners here at the house with EVERYBODY in attendance. No biggie. My kids love her, too and now, that we have something else in common, we have got much closer yet. The universe has a strange sense of humour sometimes

Anywhoooo.. I better get dressed (as in OUT of my jammie pants) and toddle off to my meeting. Will look for your message upon my return! Have a grand evening!

Awww, Sunni, don't you know when I'm just messing with you? You absolutely MAY call me Rustbucket. I loved the pictures of your horses....I particularly like paint, and I just wish I could find a barn around here that would do monthly half-leases. I sure would like to ride and even compete, again. I think it's great that you and the ex-Mrs. Sun are friendly with each other....although I would say that if someone can't get along with you, it's THEIR problem, not YOURS. Regarding the Food commercials on late night TV, I didn't notice that because I go to bed so early. My problem is eating too much at dinner time.

Ok, off to write you that PM.

So nice to see so many happy posts I'm feeling baclofenhappy today but I'll take it. Nice and relaxed. My dear husband just asked me if I'd get a 'nice' bottle of wine when I get groceries later. And of course I said yes....there's no way I'm going to rain on his parade on New Year's Eve. And I'll most likely have a glass too - steaks on the BBQ - yes in the snow - my husband does not let having to shovel to get to the Weber stand in his way....

sorry to thread-jack - but I guess I'm not really - off I go into snow land - about -5 C here so not too bad. I keep telling myself that if Husband had bought me that mink coat I've been nagging about for 20 years it would be too warm - yeah, right :H:H

Happy New Year everyone and my sincere hope that all your wishes for '14 come true. :h

Happy New Year, lovely Canucks & Friends!

May your dreams come true,
Your goals be reached;
May your health be excellent
And no trust be breached.

Ok, that was lame but it had to rhyme and it IS after midnight :H
Seriously, though... have an awesome year. Make it so.

Good night, lovies

Good afternoon, Canucklings & Friends!

Horrible head ache this morning(ish) but feeling somewhat human again now. And no, it was not a hangover. Far from it.

Ya know.. I'm the first to bitch about winter... but it sure is pretty when the sun is out. I took a ton of pictures yesterday.. called it "Furry Photo Frenzie"

-29C

That can't be legal, can it?

[Jazi's Mum]

The Canucks Co

Yeah, cold here too but only about -14 C but very blowy and snowy. I gotta keep reminding myself that this is normal..it's winter!! I'm looking for spring already - call me crazy but it's getting lighter in the mornings too. Er, well, that could be the refection off all the snow!!

[sunshine_gg]

The Canucks Co

:H JMum
Nawww.. let's go with it's getting lighter.

Ohhhh... Miss RUSTY!!???
As promised, I have a new nick name for you. Let me explain it first... before you faint or feel terribly insulted: I just learned your first name and it's beautiful - one of my all time fav names. So, please keep that in mind.

Rise, Mylady... from now on you shall be known as CRUSTY.

:H *ducking* *running*
