Bird, I am so sorry to hear about the chicken. Good luck with your band. You will be great.

Halloween was magical for the girls...a very fun night.

Luv, what type of a shin dig are you having for your girl?

Heavy heart today. My husband and I are barely on speaking terms. Very hard on the weekends.

30 days???

Hey all, got home late last night, and daughter has been here since we got up this morning. Whew, this time change is crazy, was on the E. coast, an hour ahead, then got to CST, and then fell back another hour, I couldn't fix my watch for the clocks in the house! I didn't have to have any CT scans, or MRI's, which is a good sign, so probably by tomorrow I'll have biopsy reports, Dr., thought everything looked ok, so prayers are working! Hubby had 2 appts., that were very productive, and I DID go to The Johns Hopkins cosmetic/plastic surgery center, with the best plastics guys....OMG, OMG.....!!!!!! I had NO IDEA that having the lil fine lines in your lip filled in, was soooooo AWFUL!!!! I thought it was kinda a serious spa type procedure.....OMG......!!!!! All I can say is, it took my mind off the pain of the other end from the biopsy! At least this time I didn't have to be bruised from falling down drunk and biting my tongue in half, but that's the only thing I can conjour up that hurts, and/or looks this awful!!!! Here I thought I'd cheer myself up, give myself an early birthday present.......geeeezzzzzz......looks like hubby hit me square in the smacker! The things we do for beauty! I called More2....let me tell you how pitiful the majority of us are.....on this site, struggling, looking for the magic bullet of a cure,.....ok.....ready.....I dial her up and tell her I did the lip.....conversation as follows......"OMG, I did the lip, I did it cuz I heard it'd keep you from drinking".....to which More2 says....."REALLY, FOR HOW LONG!!!????"......I swear, we'd all jump from a flying plane if we were told it'd help us huh....lol lol lol.....I was KIDDING.....lol...lol....it was just soooo awful of a procedure, that I figured only crazed, afflicted females would succumb to such things for miracle cures of addiction! My crazed reply was....."how long, how long....????....as long as it took me to get my fat ass outta the chair and into the first bar closest to the surgical clinic!"....... AND, I'M SO CRAZY I DID IT ON HALLOWEEN! Angelina Jolie my arse, I LOOK LIKE DAFFY DUCK WITH A BRUISED BILL! I told them only treats, no tricks! Seriously, I had no clue it was sooooooo invasive and intense to have a lil bit of Restylane and Juviderm, thank GOD that he thought I was nearly 12 yrs. younger to start with, cuz if that stuff had to go near an eye, I'd have literally passed out! Maybe I'm just a big 'ol whoosy, but CRAP! By the time the brusing and swelling goes down, it'll be time to have it done again, I don't think so! I called MA too, she must have been seriously drunk to have done it before too, and done it again....LOL....she was like..."yeah, I did it a couple of times too".....Hellllooooooo......All I can say is, I hope I look as good later on, as I did before, and as she does now! Anyway, all told, the trip was pretty much R&R, with several Dr's appt's for hubby and I, and we'll need it for the upcoming situation to get the house in Colorado in shape for habitation, coming up this weekend and the following week....I was about to hark down the anatbuse on Sat. last week, when he slapped it outta my hand, my hubby is the pharmacist you know, and he thought farther ahead than I did, if I'd had to have had any tests, I would have been up a creek without a paddle, and on the E. coast for nothing....so I couldn't take it.....I admit, I did have more than my alloted share after the lip thing, but, I did make it a decision, so I'm accountable, and now, big, fat lip and all, am back on the wagon! MORRISON....right there with you buddy!!!! Playing with fire, only gets us BURNED! We will do this! Soooooo glad you are back! We need all the testosterone here we can get! I'm glad everyone is hanging in.....love you all, each and everyone of you! Thanks for the prayers, I'll let you know tomorrow how the tests were, otherwise, lets all stay on the wagon, and keep pulling each other back on the cart when needed! Ok, going for more ice, and praying I look less like a freaking member of the fowl family tomorrow! I hate to meet new neighbors looking like an abused spouse! Talk to you all later!

Aw, gee Bird. Sorry about the chickie. How'd the music gig go?

TIT, OUCH! Daffy Duck, LOL! Get some arnica gell to rub on that thing! and there are homeopathic arnica montana pills that you let disolve under your tongue that'll help too.

MA, What's the big step? What do you mean Mike's drinking again? Had he stopped? I thought you had just kinda quit talking about it.

Britz, How are those AA meetings going? Liking them all?

Welcome Kittyhawk. You can do this!

Hey, I finally mowed the grass yesterday! I'm so proud! I looked in the employment section this weekend and boy was it bleak. That nervous feeling is creeping in. I'll get a resume together this week.

[brittzak]

30 days???

Posted a LONG post and POOOOOFFF...it is gone...I hate that shit. Anyway...AA is going OK. My area just has more men than women, but I am hanging in. Still waiting on all my drugs.....topa and anti...

I am having an EMG Friday. I am so nervous. It is no big deal but my God you'd think I thought they were gonna cut my head off...LOL Little needles in my neck and shocking me...not my idea of fun ok.....told my friend why dont they just shave my head put wet sponges up there and put the cap on...LOL I had a 10lb baby for God's sake. This should be a breeze. I have really never had any "procedure" type deals. But, something has to give. I can't live in this pain forever. AND I can't take pain pills or muscle relaxers either......not good for an alkie. I have already seen that.

Can I just say I HATE the time change????? I wanna go to bed at 6......so up at 1 cause I am over my 4 hours a night as it is...LOL That will never change. I go sleepless in South Carolina for WEEKS then crash for a day.

WELCOEM KITTYHAWK!!!! Just jump in.

[cowgal]

30 days???

hey all

Well, Greenie, the "big step" was my 5th step (in AA, not everyone knows that is why I left if vague) I am almost done w/ it, then off to the rest of the12 steps..............really helps w/ real life, not just the drinking stuff, HECK, that desire is gone so I feel like a "faker" in my AA meetings! Most people go to "stay sober", but I am just going for friendship fun and "living life on life terms" guidance.

Tonight is my other meeting I love, I am sounding like an AA guru!! Not really, I go to 3 meetings a week, "not enough" according to most "GURUS"!:H:H

Bird, how did it go??? I KNOW it went well!!! Love you!!!:h

Sorry LUV about the EMG, they are not fun to have, hopefully you get some relief, they find out the cause of your pain.

TEX, welcome back "daffy duck"!!! Sorry you had a bad experience w/ the lip stuff! It will go down (swelling) I am sure.

love and hugs:h:l all around, everyone have a great day!!!

Hi 30 Dayers,

Hope everyone gets out and votes today!!

I am in Toronto so it is not an option. Very sad about that. Client absolutely would not let me wait until Wednesday to come up, though.

TIT, I was thinking about doing the same thing. Smoker's lips here and thought some plumping up would help with that. Now, uh uh!! No way. I don't mind pain as long as it is not on my body!! Hope the lips feel better, soon. :l

Bird, we are all excited to hear how the band is doing. Please check in and let us know.

LUV, MA, I like the friendships of AA, too. Some incredibly caring people there. I agree, totally, MA, that the 12 steps are basically just a good way to live. It is funny that so many people here don't like AA but then I notice that many of the steps of AA are also things that people discuss here. Letting go of the past, getting rid of the guilt and doing the right thing by people. It really doesn't matter if you use AA or not. The idea of living life right by people is always good and does make drinking not an option. You can't live life right if you drink and are an alcoholic. It is that simple, isn't it?

Greenie, good luck on the job search. Get your butt in gear and get that resume out there, girl!! The sooner the better. I have a feeling you are going to find something so much better than you have got going on now. You have to. :l

Kittyhawk, :welcome: You joined a great thread. We have a close group here.

Morrison, check in!!

Momof3, Best, Nibs, hope all are doing well.

Love,
Cindi

Cindi, Canada, sounds fun, sorry you couldn't vote though.

Welcome newcomers!!:welcome:

Bird, how did it go??? Dying to hear!!:h

Everyone else, hi, and hang in there, gotta go......................to the gym, dinner, then a meeting, then bed..................sleep is so precious, can't get enough of it now.................

Will probably miss all the election hoopla, but that is fine, not a very political person anyway...............

TIT, how are the lips????

LUV, Momof3, Morrison, Nibs, anyone else, take it easy and enjoy the evening...............

love to you guys!!:l:h

Hi all,
Went well Sun. night, did 4 songs in 3 hours and they paid me well. Gotta go back in and redo 2 I didn't like my playing on. MA the guys are going down to Tally Fri night I think with the CD to maybe Bsharps and somewhere to look for work. Glad I'm on anty wouldnt have wanted to be hungover through all this. Music filling up alot of the free time I had before, sitting around drinking and pigging out. Feeling pretty good these days and very happy with life. Also going back to mentoring at the kids school. Said I wouldnt do that again but.....love you all....bird

[brittzak]

30 days???

That is so special Bird...the mentoring and I think you have alot to offer. Must be your calling because you keep going back....glad the session went well!!!!!

Cinders, thinking of you today...call if you need a buddy this week. Hope you are feeling better.

[cowgal]

30 days???

glad

I am so glad it went well Bird! I won't be home til the wee hours of the night Friday, so if they play here then, will have to wait..............what is the name of the group? I have heard of BSharps, but can I search for the group on the internet? Glad you are able to be involved w/ the girls' schooling etc, I missed out on most of that being married to my management job during those important years, do it now, but it is not the same. So happy things are going well for ya!

LUV, glad you are doing well.....................you seem up these days, is the outpatient thing working for you?? AA, I know is DEFINITELY helping, but without Rhonda, I would be drinking for sure! I thought about it alot yesterday, closing the door to the nursing home job, and opening the one to Dermatology Associates......................hope and pray it is a smart move, but can go back part time to the nursing home if not................really would rather not though.

Cindi, hope you are well in Canada, I sorta miss traveling, but for now I guess I am meant to be here at home.................

Heading to Jacksonville tomorrow AM for the entire day, will be at the regional swim meet, am VERY excited and so is David!! Looking forward to it, may not get on here til Sat, but have a quiet day today after I "shadow" at Dermatology office for the AM, get there at 6:45AM-about noon, then gym and pool, lunch w/ a friend of mine then..............work on painting?? Or TIT's pic of her baby girl horse w/ hubby that I have been "sitting on " for weeks?? I am SUCH a procrastinator when it comes to drawing/painting, but once I am started it is such "joy for my soul"...............don't know why I wait so long to start it??

love you guys, hope you are all well!!!:h:l:h
