Hey Mr. G, I'd love to go down to Oz and run some of those routes you have available every day. It must be awesome!

You betcha A Dub.

Let me know if you're ever passing through. I'll put the kettle on and map out a run.

Mama. I bet your cooking is the talk of the town.

Hi Nora!

L8tr, Yo!

Good morning all!

Sitting here at work, feeling great on this beautiful day. Lord knows how many mornings I had the 3am wake up call with my heart racing, sweating, and swearing never again only to do it again that same night. Life is so much better now!

Niners, did your boss's swishing pantyhose/thighs start the latest fire in CA? I hope you don't live near Malibu.... Any word on the job?

Welcome, Inchy. Nice to see you here. Really nice.

FT, what plans do you have for your time off?

Hi Mama, allswell, Flyaway, and dear Nora...wherever you are.

Making plans for my father's 88 birthday at the end of the month. Family coming in on different weekends. He doesn't know it, but we'll be moving his bedroom downstairs. I've scheduled movers to make it easier. Hope it goes over. He doesn't like people messing with his things, but he can hardly get upstairs to shower anymore, and sleeps in a chair downstairs, so I've made an executive decision that I hope will make his life easier, and safer. Hope it will be viewed that way. Have me doubts... He's a tough one.

Gonna buy a tv and dvd player for the bedroom this weekend, tech guy is coming Monday. Hubs gets annoyed with Paula, Rachel, Ina, etc., so I decided to make myself comfortable in the bedroom with my friends. He can have quiet time with Layla (his laptop/mistress) in the living room, and I'll watch my friends concoct things in my bedroom. Takes me a long time to do something for myself....

HF morning here...and it's a stunning one. Spring in Virginia is too beautiful to describe.

Hi Juja,
Right now doing laundry. Yea fun... LOL
I am no sure really what I am going to do, but I am planning to work on my 79 Corvette some that's for sure. I actually am thinking of going thru some of that stuff we keep and wonder why when we see it, might be a need to make a run to a donation facility.
No painting that's for sure as my townhouse is all fresh painted within last 6 mos... I might maybe go see some movies.

Morning all...Juja you sound good...that makes me happy. Your Dad will be so much more comfortable downstairs, I think
just had my last porabtion officer meeting for my DUI, and for some reason, when I got into my son's car, I burst into tears. I cannot explain it.
I am distressed over what new car insurance will be every month, but more than that, maybe it was an emotional release that it is almost all over. This has been a long, long year
DRINKING IS NOT WORTH IT...especially drinking and driving
FT - you sound great. How does the AF life feel??

Hi Everyone!

LOL Juja! Yes I think my boss is the culprit for the CA fires! It's actually my old hometown that's up in flames! I KNEW she had it out for me, but I never thought she'd take it this far! :H

Mama - I'm glad your DUI stuff is almost over. I used to speed to my PO's office once a month during my "lunch" hour at work...and twice a week I would just disappear for an hour to sneak in an alcohol class. Thankfully it never interfered with my job. That was my old company though, it was A LOT different there. Here...if I go pee they are paging me over the loudspeaker! LOL

TG it's Friday! Still waiting to get a call for an interview. I wish they'd hurry!!!

I forgot to mention that last night I was going to pick up my daughter from Dance at 9:30pm (it's still weird driving in "the middle of the night"...lol...even after all this time) and I was pulling out of my garage and the frame to her old daybed fell and got stuck under my car, so there I was struggling, dropping things, backing up over this bed frame and my neighbor was outside...I'm SURE they thought I was drunk. My car was all tangled up in this dang daybed frame. I was 15 minutes late getting my daughter (which NEVER happens...if I'm ever late you can bet I'm probably dead. HA). Anyway, I finally got to her and one of the Senior boys was standing outside with her because he didn't want to leave her alone. He's so sweet, I told her guys like that make me dislike the male species just a little less. LOL

Long story with no point. Sorry. LOL

Here in the UK the premium is affected for 5 (sometimes 6) years, I've only just gotten back to 'normal' levels with mine.

thanks UK....In DUI class they said what the penalties were in other countries
shooting by firing squad in Russia
In malaya...if husband gets DUI...he goes to jail for one year AND SO DOES HIS WIFE
I'll be fine, just kind of having flash backs of all the shock, shame, and humiliation of a year ago

I felt like an anvil was flying out of the sky onto my head when I crawled out of my car and realised how stupid I'd been.

At least we've done it and will not do it again Mama, I'm proud of that bit because so many, many other people do it and not get caught, or carry on doing it, even when they are caught second and third times. Lots of credit in my book to holding your hands up and confronting it.

Thanks UK...I needed that right now. I accept responsibilty, but, DAMN, it's hard!! I feel like a criminal all over again.
And you are right...it will NOT happen again.

You will get past it Mama!
I stupidly did it TWICE and I proved the statistics right....that most people get their second one within a year of their first one... :headbanger:

If I can get through it, so can you Mama! I basically had no help because I didn't want anyone to know!
