December already? It's the first day of Summer and I'm pretty happy about that.
I love the idea of running away right now so
there's my hand up to request a seat on the Taco Truck. Although it's getting to be a bit chilly over there, right? Summer vs Taco Truck.
Couldn't you just all fly over with the truck and we could all set up camp on Rottnest Island. Schoolies Week just finished so we'll only have to contend with the normal run of the mill Summer visitors.
Oh my! I'm being silly! That feels really good after the past week. James is all sorted out and is behaving himself and my poor neglected garden is watered, so I'm starting to settle down a bit.
Bill, so good to see you back. I was thinking about you about three days ago and wondering how you were doing, so it's really great to hear you're ok. Likewise Swannie.
Sun, thanks for your kind words, eh. We're really a very special lot, aren't we? The love and concern are so genuine, given so unstintingly and with such generosity of heart. I have many wonderful friends here in Oz, but MWO fills such an important role in finding more than just friendship, but rather kinship. Not sure that I articulated that particularly well, but I guess you all understand what I'm trying to say.
Well, it seems a busy time lies ahead for you all...Fen, I would so love to visit Tick Hollow and Ruby, your delightful cabin, well, it beckons.
Vicki, please get well. When you get your video up we can see it for real, but we have incredible imaginations and can draw pleasure from those in the meanwhile.
Oney, it was great to hear from you, too, and thanks for your kindness, too. I love you all so very dearly. Attached files [img]/converted_files/1721505=6491-attachment.jpg[/img]

Mish, I've been busy knitting layettes for the Quokka joeys on Rottnest! I would love to bring the taco truck over there!

It's the perfect time of year, Fen. Absolutely gorgeous weather at the moment and the economy still allows for the selling of handicrafts. I don't know if the Rottnest Island Authorities allow introduced species, such as fainting goats, onto the island but it's only a few miles off the mainland so maybe we can smuggle them across on a raft lashed together with hair ropes.
Please bring the truck, and everyone, please come. We'll need you all to distribute all those layettes for the naked little quokka babies.
Yes, Aguy, we're quite mad, but you're very welcome here with us.

Welcome, Aguy! We are a wonderful, encouraging family and we will help you do this! Take it one day at a time. Come here and post during your withdrawals or any time you need to vent. It really does help. Well, guys, I am so frustrated! I have been trying for 2 hours to download the pics off of Paul's blackberry on to photobucket and I just can't make it work! Does anyone know how to download pics from a blackberry? Paul took so many good ones with his phone of Kelly and I riding on 4 wheelers! Oh, well, these are the pics from my camera. Not very many, but I was too excited to even think about taking picturs! Kelly wore this gigantic purple bow (my favorite color) on her shirt when she came in! She looked adorable! I wish I could upload the video, so you could see how surprised I was! I will try it again tonight. Love you guys! Vicki

Well, Ive been able to put the bottle or BOTTLES down for a bit over 6 months now. December is my birth month, so I guess Ill give myself another month of sobriety.

Rog-your kittens are so precious...I just love little kittens...they are so fun to watch. Of course, my furniture is is all messed up because I don't get my cats de-clawed....but, oh well. My house is a "home" for sure. When Addy comes over, she goes to my cleaning cupboard and gets out her spray bottle of water and her own rag and sprays and wipes everything....Jimmy gets so mad and I just tell him to leave her alone.....I think it's neat that she wants to "clean" and sometimes she spends hours doing it!

I guess I do have some type of stomach bug...I just thought it was my normal stomach issues...but it's a little worse this time. I really don't feel bad, just the problem of "running to the bathroom" (sorry if it's a little too early for this info). Speaking of which, WHY did I wake up at 3:30 this am? I couldn't go back to sleep...so I'm going to start early. I think it's because yesterday was such a really bad day at work...my 86 yo boss's family is sucking him dry and I am just really getting upset about it. I was so ballsy that I voiced my opinion to my boss with tears in my eyes....later that day he told me that I was the only person that he could really trust. Such a shame that his own family-including his wife/girlfriend, are only thinking of money and want him to give up his one prized possession which he hardly owes any money on. I may get fired over this....if his son gets wind of what I said. But at this point, I really don't care. Really. I should go to Mississippi more often....I came back with a new outlook on life.

I'm going to see what I can do to get Vicki's video...maybe she can mail it to me...I think she has really slow internet because she has a satellite or something....In the meantime, I will try to upload the very few pictures that I took when we were at the ATV park. Ruby....can I just email them to you and you can post them??

Luckily, I just realized I was in the wrong thread-still in November but I was able to cut and paste this post here.

Welcome to the family, joesgal. We're a crazy bunch-but we will all take you under our wings and we have your back. Please feel free to share whatever you want....we do NOT judge because we have all been where you may be or even worse.

Nelz.....when is your birthday...and do I need to come and surprise you too? I'm running out of reward miles...so, can I walk????:H

I hope everyone has a lovely Thursday. I am grateful for each and every one of you.

Oh, and Nelz, congratulations on being AF for 6 months!!!! That is truly awesome and you should be very proud of yourself......I am very proud of you. Just saw you are in Kansas....I don't think I can walk there.....oh well, maybe next time.

Good Morning Everyone - gosh you are up early Grateful! I LOVE how you have come so out of yourself! You are so different - and the difference is such a good different! You have so much more confidence in yourself - I LOVE that you did that for Vicki - awesome! I hope that someone can upload the video of you arriving. Oh and I hope that you and Vicki both recover from your tummy bug too - what a pain.
Aguy - so good to see you here - here is definitely the place to be - for now, stop worrying about the stupid things you said and did when drunk - just concentrate on getting over the withdrawals - are you doing it on your own? How are you doing? Let us know won't you.....
Mish - I do know exactly what you mean about the kinship here - that is why I call my friends here my other family..... and oh yes, it is definitely getting cold here - I shall have to scrape my windscreen this morning, and I also need to get the heated birdbath out as mine is frozen solid today!
Rog - LOVED the pics you posted of Smokey and Buddy - they are just so cute! So sorry about your truck. What a bummer for you....hope it is all up and running again soon.
Tony - lovely cartoon to start December with :H
Welcome Joesgal - well done on the Af - it is hard!!
Hi Nelz - lovely to see you here

Got to go and start getting ready for work - just a couple of hours, then home and back again later to close, so will be back later everyone - have an awesome day!
Love and hugs, Sun XX
