Good to see you Kapo!! Thanks for your kind wishes. Hope you are enjoying your Friday evening.

Molly, the only positive thing is that Mr. Stirly forgot to pick up all the invoices and such from last month from the accountant's office so I don't have to file the bloody things. If there's anything worse than boredom, it's filing. So that is my positive thought for the day - "It could be worse - I could be filing.":H

Honestly I have never seen anything like it. Do you know I could swear I've just seen our car on the news.

Oooh and thanks for the birthday wishes for Mr JC. I'll show him them later.

If I suddenly disappear, I'm waiting for the hairdresser to arrive. Getting dipped and stripped.

Army Thread FRIDAY 29th June

Good Morning Folks,

I have been having a little think to meself the past couple of weeks. I know I have been here less as I have been promoting my new page over on Facebook but I have been trying to keep my nose clean on here too.

I feel like I have been flying the AF flag too much maybe. I find it SO difficult to see drinking being spoken about so willy nilly on some other threads, signatures singing the praises of alcohol, people not taking it seriously....etc etc..

That is MY problem, nobody else's....It just brings me down and I get drawn into it time and time and time again....WHY should I even care? Why should I bother trying to talk someone out of it or try to explain the benefits of AF or even say what works for me? I come across Self Righteous and holier than thou and that is not who I am. But it seems that way, I cannot help it. I need to step back and just let people get on with whatever they are doing and keep my beak out.

I find myself getting into petty arguments with people on here while I try to advocate the AF lifestyle....No more, I step back and I am taking my nose and my "AF is the only way to go " attitude with me. It is causing me more stress than I need and I still cannot fathom why I actually care so much.

Everyone has to find their own way and that's the way it is but having spats with people on an alkie forum because I want to "help them" is both ridiculous and unnecessary, I won't be doing it anymore.
I would be better putting my effort in elsewhere in my life rather than constantly having "argue the point!

I have been here a long time and I feel I have been of some support somewhere along the way and I hope people will remember that, rather than the person I have become of late because that is not who I am but who I am when I am here, I need to work on that.

So hanging the gloves up here and stepping back, wish everyone the very best of luck in their journey, whatever way they choose to travel, I need to get on with mine xxx

Mornin' JC. to Mr. JC.

Great video!!

I hope MrJC got home safely last night - didn't realise how bad the weather was over there till I saw the news this morning - and today's his birthday yeah? Happy birthday to the long fella:day4:
Did I tell youse that we're going off with a whole load of Harley peeps August weekend?? Heading to Glengarriff - I can't wait tbh - Joe went over to spend his birthday voucher the other day and bought an amazing jacket - he would NEVER spend that amount of money himself so we were delighted he got summat special for himself - and he looks brillo in it - and I got a new helmet - my old one was like somethin out of World War 11 - and do you know what - I used to be sort of embarrassed - two old shaggers motorbiking -- couldn't give a rat's arse now -- it is just FUN

Glad to hear you're going to get away, Molly. I bet you'll have a great time. Good news about the jacket and helmet.

I rarely worry about what people think. Can't be arsed. Just do what I enjoy and could care less what others think. There's that saying - Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. And there's another one I just read - by Oscar Wilde - Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. And just for good measure, this by Marylin Monroe - ?Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.? I think the last one suits quite a few of us here....:H:H

Blimmin Heck! We had rain and thunder but nowt like you in the North East.

Right at the risk of this being all about me.
Very long story short

I had a lovely holiday peace and quiet and came back to the usual chaos.

Mr A offering to do all sorts for the family who then buggers off and leaves me doing it all. (Smell the burning martyr.)
Washing machine and dryer going non stop. Keep running out of food ,loo paper etc.etc.

Son in Law comes back from Paris each weekend and drinks beer by the 6 or 8.

So I laid the law down and now nobody is speaking to me and I am the villain of the piece.

I think I let it fester too long and did not handle it right-- but I am only human.

I did drink the other night and that was the last straw.

Coming last in a race on Sunday did not help:upset:

Sorry Oney - X-post.

I hope this doesn't mean that you will be leaving MWO. I hope it just means that you will be looking at things differently and not let yourself get pulled into other people's battles. Others will do what they want to no matter how much we try to persuade them not too. It can be very taxing, trying to convince someone to do something that is for their own good when they, themselves have not or will not commit to it. You have always been a very supportive person here and I know your words have helped me as well as many others. I hope you're not taking a break, but just changing your reaction to what is posted here if it is something you don't agree with. ?You cannot change what you are, only what you do.? - Philip Pullman
