Dottie - great work on getting to 10 days and past the worst. The exercise plan is solid!

Sun - glad you're not feeling completely drained when work is over and the medication is helping.

Mama - The Orchadist arrived and I'm going to start it this week.

Hi Nora - hope your trip is fun and relaxing so far!

Have a good day everyone.

It's a lovely sunny day here. I have found two baby hedgehogs in my garden, the mother nowhere to be seen. I am now trying to feed them and keep them alive. Any ideas ? we don't have anywhere near me (like Mrs Tiggywinkles sanctuary) to take them. Taking grandchildren swimming later. Hope everyone has a good day.

how precious....my sister had a pet hedgehog for years.......I can;t remember her name, but she would stomp her heet when she was mad...I would have to google how to care for them. I could try callling my sister too, but she is an attorney and VERY busy..........
I went home and DIED last night....I was tired....
It has been grey, rainy and foggy here....
Dottie....is it getting easier for you sweetie?? I am at almost 5 months (with about 15 beers thrown in) and I rarely thing about drinking now.
Sun- I am glad the new meds seem to help. You and Paula battle so much pain.
As always. kissses to Nora and grumpy Scott.
Allswell.....promise me I get your first apple off your first tree..........................

Morning all. Rushing off to work. Leave on the red eye tonight (11:45 pm). I have 3 layovers. :upset:
I had to do it this way so that I would get in there at one in the afternoon. Otherwise I wouldn't have arrived until tomorrow night and we would have wasted a whole day. Of course, if I get there & sleep all day, we will have wasted it anyway. :H
Michigan - here I come.........................

Hi Everyone!

Ok, after being belittled, criticized and called many names, I am determined not to even look in the Mods threads anymore. Please remind me of this! LOL Oh, and I even got a PM from "Roberta Jewell"....I'm definitely over the Abs vs. Mods battle. They can do what they want.

Paula - Those little hedgehogs sounds so cute, I was going to suggest cat food. One time when I had a cat, I heard this loud munching sound, but my cat was laying right next to me...so I crept over, crawled up on the counter, looked down and there was this huge possum eating the food. I think all creatures love cat food!

So my friend's brother has this dog that they are trying to find a home for...the dog is currently at the shelter because she was "vicious" when animal control caught her (I would be too if I was scared and confused). I'm thinking of adopting her, her name is Honey and I was there when they "found" her as a puppy...I wanted her then! It would have been better, because now I will have to deal with all her emotional issues that they've inflicted on her. My house is very calm and loving, and that's what she needs. I think she's used to confusion, loudness, yelling and chaos. It kills me to think of dogs that are treated that way. I promised I wouldn't bring another dog in onto my old one, but I feel the need to save this one. BUT, it's up to a judge to decide if she can be released or if they will euthanize her :upset:

Ok enough depressing stuff. Everyone have a great Wednesday.

Love you peeps!

I do not have to attend every arguement that I am invited to. Yep - that's my mantra. Sometimes I do forget. But, I try to live by that. Sorry for what you're going thru K9. Speaking of arguements. What in the world is going on with the Undies being rated with 2 stars?????? I adore the Undies and now I see that they have been rated 2 stars. I went over and gave them a great big 5 star and they are still 2 stars. Some people obviously have it out for them.

So, I haven't been talking about it but I haven't been doing so great. I'm using this weekend to get back to my green stickers. It just wasn't something that I was ready to discuss. I know what I need to do and I am going to get back to it. I think I've been too busy in the past 2 weeks taking care of everyone else actually. So, I have had more bad days creeping in. Not horrible but not where I want to be. So, I am looking forward to this weekend in many ways. Oh & by the way - I'm not sneaking off on a mystery weekend. I'm going to visit my girlfriend that I met years ago on a weight loss site. We became best friends. Funny, huh?

Ok - back to work for me.

Nora, you can ALWAYS be honest with us...we are here for you. I know it's not easy. I think if it weren't for Antabuse I'd be going back and forth too. I like your mantra...now use your "other" one...TTDP, ok? :l

Oh darn, no mystery weekend, and here I was hoping for some juicy stories! LOL

It just rained here for approximately 45 seconds, that was our big storm!

I've had some bad thoughts lately too. If I quit AB tomorrow, I could drink on my 40th birthday (Oct 19). Ok, fast forward. Picture me sitting on the couch, renting a movie and cracking a beer. Now if I drink, I HAVE to smoke...I just do! Fast forward more...10pm, me on beer number 12 (or more), stumbling to bed, falling in (reeking of beer and cigarettes)...wake up Saturday morning with my head spinning and pounding and thinking "F*CK...WHY did I do that???"...then I'd smoke to try to make the hangover more bearable...puke all day, lay on the couch....and worst of all...look my daughter in the eye and say "Mom screwed up again". I CANNOT and WILL NOT do that...I just don't know that I have another quit in me. Nora...you can get to this point too...HATE alcohol...just HATE it with a passion! Sorry to go on and on...love you mucho!!! :h
