I think HALF-PINT's name was really Elizabeth. Her Daddy called her half-pint, but when she grew-up her husband called her Beth. I might be wrong. You got what I meant anyway. LOL
Sorry to hear about hubby's friend. That is so sad. I will say a little pray for the family. Sudden death is such a shock to your system.
Please tell Morrison we misss him and I hope he is well. I am not sure why he left us, but he must have had his reasons.

NIBS...I just remembered what her name was , it was Laura Elizabeth. That is why her husband called her beth. Her family callled her Laura. I can't believe I forgot that, I used to watch it every time it was on.

More you make me ready for spring. I kinda get depressed during the winter when I can't work outside. I AM READY TO TRIM BACK ALL MY ROSE BUSHES, BUT IT ISN'T TIME YET.

30 days???

It is a beautiful day here on the high ground of Texas. I went into work this morning for a meeting and spent the last couple of hours eating breakfast and reading the local paper. What a way to spend the morning. I love it. I am getting used to this not working. I think I could comfortably retire if I just had a never ending stream of money. But alas, I don't so I will be going back to work on the 23rd. They went over a lot of the changes the plant is going through, but didn't mention my move. I guess it is too far out to be announced.

It should be 60 deg. F here today, and then the high tomorrow is supposed to be 35 deg. F. Some of your air coming in Nibs. Tell your hubby not to dwell too much on what happened or what may happen. We only have today and that is the most important day of our life. We all should be living like we are dying since we all are. Life is terminal, and I have come to accept that. That is as it should be. Getting older I see a lot of my close friends passing on. At first it is hard. I always think of the song Eric Clapton’s song Tears in Heaven

“Beyond the door,
There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven.”

As I get older, I realize that my mind is still working like it is inside the body of a 25 year old, but it is inside a vessel which is deteriorating. We never know when our time is coming, but it is coming; so we need to be ready to be gone in a moment. I believe I am at that point spiritually, but I know there are a lot of things I would leave here physically undone if I were to die today. I am working on those things to ensure my wife is taken care of and can enjoy the time she has left if I die first. Every thing will be fine no matter what I do. In the whole scheme of things I and everything about me is infinitesimally small.

Enough of that I am rambling. We may get some snow here also more2. I guess that will be ok with me, but it will play hell with my using the cane. I envy you all for your gardens and flowers, as we have no soil around my house to plant anything. The man who built this house was a concrete contractor and covered everything with cement so he wouldn’t have to mow. I only have couple of strips to weed-eat n the summer.

Sorry you are having computer problems bird. I hope the laptop you bought isn’t using the new Windows Vista. I hate it. It has too much going on while using it; and I don’t know enough about it to manipulate it the way I want. Hopefully you will get everything fixed on the old comp and can use it.

I am running out of time and I know you all are tired of reading my ramblings.


God Bess
I love you all

Hi all,
My computer is a little better but I may have a friend come over and fix it more than I can. Went to work today and it was not that great. Very smoky and loud. Sort of think I'll be out of there by summer. I will miss the guys but need to move on...I have had a big change in attitude about my job in the last year, and I think this is alot of the reason I am going to get out of it. I spent years fighting the place, thinking Oh I hate this place its so boring and a waste of time and blah blah blah. Then one day I just accepted my job, oh O.K. it gets me through and it works for me and Its OK and people are starving somewhere, you know what I mean. Anyway...got 2 of my credit cards payed off...yahoo... love bird

Bird,
You sound strong and determined. If you are unhappy, make change. I am all for changing whatever is needed to get through life happy.

It is suppose to snow and have freezing rain here tonight and tomorrow AM. OH BOY...who knows. We get all excited at just the thought of it.

We are letting the thread slip down to the second page. I guess everyone is busy. Luv, tomorrow thanks to you and the people on this thread, I will make it to 9 months AF.
WOO HOO
I am feeling pretty good, but I see the demons who assaulted me knocking at my door again as the 12 months AF approach. I now understand that they are knocking on my door, so I know I don?t have to drink to make it through. It is weird to me that I have been able to turn over of control of my life to God for all these months only to think I have to take charge now.

I know I cannot control anything, so I really don?t understand why I ?want? to be completely disheveled by the future. Every year it comes around at the first of the year I have to pay home and vehicle insurance, income tax, county tax (x5), lot rent, vehicle registration (x4), and probably some others adding up to thousands of dollars. In my mind I go into the worst case of fear; and I know I am living in some non-existent future disaster which will not happen. I always pay these. It isn?t that I can?t afford them; it is just that it makes me nuts. Maybe something I internalized from being broke for so many years. I don?t know exactly why I get this way, but I do know if I leave it in Gods hands it will be alright. That is the main thing that truly keeps me sober.

I proved, without a doubt, over the last 40 years that I am a bad manager of my own life; and I am powerless over the use of alcohol. I know from experience, if I were for some stupid reason to drink a few drinks I would be lost again. I probably would be dead in a year. I have quit and started back several times; and I always started back drinking more than I was drinking when I quit. I don?t think I could drink more than I was 9 months ago; I was almost dead at the time from alcohol poisoning. The next time, if there is one, will probably be the end of me.

I am thankful that I have learned these things about myself. If not I would be doomed. As it is I only have to be realistic and wait for what God has for me. Whatever it is must be better than the alternative.

Wow, I am sorry I am being so gloomy. I really am doing well today. I like many of you still have to live life and I am just learning how. I will overcome. I hope all of you are well and having a great day.

(I hope I seperated this into enough paragraphs, that seemed to be a big deal on the other thread.)

God Bless

Top of the morning to you all... I hopped out of bed a bit early to stop by... I don't smell the coffee just yet.
Bird, I forgot to congratulate you on paying those credit cards off.... No more interest payments for those guys !!!
I understand what you mean about bills coming in Bear... Makes a person say "hmmm"... Our government has us all by the short hairs when it comes to putting gas into our vehicles here in Ontario... we need gas to put in the truck to go to work to pay income tax for the government... hmmm..
Well we had a real time going to pick Ryan up on the Island last night... There was a real blizzard blowing so the trip took well over an hour and a half... I was half wishing for a snow day today but the comp says all the roads are open..I'll listen to the radio when I go downstairs...
Have a great day everybody, Hugs and a lot-a love, xxx
