30 days???

Hello everybody. Just checking in. Lost my connection for a bit over the weekend(while on chat,) and I can't use my work laptop anymore. :upset: I used to live on this thing, but I usually posted from work, I don't know how I got anything done. I've been very busy, so I fell behind. AGAIN. I have to make time to keep up. I really wanted to say Love to all of you, especially the Bears. It was just two weeks ago he apologized on here for not posting as much as he used too. He said he just didn't have as much time now that he was sober. Wow!! I know what he means. We ALL do. You can see the post count go down when we stay off the drink, because we are all out LIVING!!! If I don't get on as much as I used to, please remember I'll never stop thinking of all of you. I will NEVER forget what this place has done for me. Loving all of you, especially the big man upstairs. No, not the G-man. The B-man.

AWWW Morrison, so true! Seems the more AF days we get the less time we have for the site, but that is a good thing, right??? Just make sure you squeeze us in a least once a week so we know you're A OK.
Happy Friday all!!!! Brit has 8th grade banquet tonight so we got nailes done last night and toes and today we have to get hair all fixed pretty. She is excited. Me too!!! HA HA

My little puppy was REALLY sick when I got home yesterday. He is at the vet, had to spend the night. When Mama died, my b-friend got me two little Shit-zu's as Mama had ran over mine. They are adorable. Not sure why he is sick, but hoping they fix him up. The other one is running around here looking for him like crazy. Poor little thing. They are so cute!!!!

Morrison,

Saying that you don't have as much time to post nowawadays because you are really LIVING makes my heart feel so good for you. You have absolutely no idea.

Everyone else,

When I look at the stars at night and see the Big Dipper, I think of Bear. Ursa Major, "The Great Bear." I get a sense of peace. In a strange way, even though I am so extremely saddened by Bear's death and feel such a huge sense of loss, my meditation and prayers have also led me to realize the fact that someone so good and kind actually lived on this planet and shared his caring and life with us proves to me that goodness truly does exist on this earth.

Luv, have a wonderful day with Brit. Some of my best memories with my daughter were those mom and daughter days together having fun. Enjoy. They grow up so fast.

Nibs, TNT, Bird, More2, Det, Dx, BearFamily,

Have a wonderful, blessed Friday.

Love,
Cindi

Hi all,
Looks like another hot one here. All the neighborhood kids were over here yesterday playing in the sprinkler and running around like crazy, their 1st day out of school. Think I'll go get one of those slip and slide things for them. Nibs that is cool about the lawn mower. Nice and quiet. Morrison I think about you alot.Luv, too bad about the pup. Hope he gets better. Cindi, I think of bear when I'm watching my chickens. Also I was thinking of that time we were all talking about Dr. Phil and Bear came on with that Dr. Phil avatar. That was a good joke. Got me on that one. haha. Tomorrow I am going to see cowgal. We are meeting up at a state park where the kids can swim and we can yak. I am excited...love to all bird

OH REALLY Bird, I will have to come meet you and Cowgal too! We are not that far apart. It is so good to see you again. We are near the end of school, 1.5 weeks left. I can't wait!!!! I like drinking my coffee, chillen out a bit in the morning, then leaving......when the kids are in school we hit the floor running at 6 am.

I heard today a wonderful saying from Natalie King Cole, "I don't know why God has blessed me with so many angels in my life, and given me 2nd, 3rd, 8 times to live again, but I feel it is what you call, "God's Grace"!!!!! SO TRUE for me. I have some pretty good guardian angels built up, so I figure if I ever want to see them again, I had best behave, right?

Bearlady, i think of you daily and pray for your peace and strength. God will see you through this!

Hi all,
Just checking in. Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement. I had a long day yesterday going through papers left behind. I suggest everyone have insurance policies and will in clearly designated place. It sure would help. Bear Jr and Mrs are coming up with my furniture today. I can't wait to see them. May have little bears with them ( can't wait to hug the stuffin' out of 'em ) All your outpouring of love and concern are having a great positive effect on our whole family. Try not to judge the girl in the car too harshly. I think there, but by the grace of God, could have been Bear years ago. I keep praying that God will have His way with her and will do all He asks of me to that end, but no more for us personally. She needs you and your prayers, too. Thanks again.

Know you are loved,
Bear Lady

BearLady,
That is a very positive outlook you have and SO WHAT BEAR would want. That girl could have been MANY of us here. In true honesty, how it wasn't me is a miracle. I thank God I never hurt anyone other than myself. I could have never lived with that. The sad thing is she ruined so many lives, including her own and those in her family and probably didn't even know it until she sobered up! I can imagine her horror at that moment. I have SOBERED up before and been in such shame. I think if Bear were here, just like DX said, he'd be the first to offer her help and haul her to AA. It is in God's hands. We all must trust and have faith. Your words this morning are very comforting. Bear would be so proud of you and the kids.

Just wanted to mention my daughters. They don't post here but read all your posts. All the kids, in-laws too, have been wonderful and supportive. I wouldn't make it without them. Little Mama Bear and family are the ones taking me into their home. She has gone through all my suffering like the strong woman she is. Please say an extra prayer for her to have the strength to help me. She holds back her suffering to be my rock. Bear Jr. and Mrs are handling the official stuff concerning the accident and need your prayers. Baby Bear has taken on the motorcycle insurance and is being strong, too. Everyone has shown the strength their Papa Bear always knew was in them. I know he is so proud. Thank you for letting me share during this time.

Know you are loved,
Bear Lady

I think many of us knew the girls were with us too. As you can see in many posts we have started referring to you all as "The Bear Family", everyone handles grief differently. BUT, it is good you are all respecting each others grief and working together. At a time when you wish you could just lay low, you have so much to do. I am happy to hear you will be staying with your daughter for awhile. So much love to you all from us here!!!!!!!!!!!

COWGAL,
I will be at Lenair during the beach meet or girl, I'd be there!!!! You know it appears to me that sometimes the persons that bitches the loudest for you to get sober is actually the one that wants it least. I don't know, may be they fear if you are in your sober mind you will no longer tolerate how they treat you??? Just a thought! I by no means am a realtionship expert, GOD KNOWS! Many struggles come in to play upon sobering up though.

When my Mama passed her husband took over all her bills, took her car etc.....well he obviously hasnt paid ONE PENNY on anything. My phone is ringing off the damn hook. The car folks especially.....now I have told them over and over she is deceased and that her affairs are being handled by her husband and he lives in Montana. I told the lady yesterday, DO NOT CALL ME AGAIN......she says, "oh we're gonna keep calling" and hangs up on me as at that point I got irate. FREAKING IDIOTS!
