30 days???

Boots, court is Wednesday, 10AM PST. I'll update when I know what they hit me with. I know after I get home from court I'm gonna want to get BLASTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHA. I already know it. In a way, I'm actually looking forward to it. Like a celebration of this finally being over. Yeah, I know it's far from being over, but once I know what I have to do, it's all good. I think I'll do some jail, because house arrest takes too long. If I do jail, it will only be 10 days, with 3 days served. No big deal. Then there are fines, classes, and some other things they'll rake me for. Yeah, it aint cheap. I'll probably lose the license for a year. I can actually handle that pretty well. I can walk to work, and that is the main thing. And Vegas' drivers are idiots. THey are dangerous, and stupid. Doesn't anybody use a f****ing turn signal anymore? Really, is it that hard? Also, I'll have to talk to somebody to diagnose the extent of my problem. haha. Move over Leo Dicaprio. My acting abilities will rock. She/He ain't getting anything out of me. I know the shit they ask, and I'm gonna give them shit. No way in hell will I be honest to these government paid jagoffs. Oh well. One day at a time. Like I said, I'll be back tomorrow. Night y'all. Love Dave.

Hey guys, no way am I going to catch up! Been gone since last Tues. night late....whew...Palestine to Tulsa, Ok, then from there to Okla. City....our filly did GREAT...1st place under one judge, 2nd under the other one....she was awesome....then we watched the Quarter Horse World show classes and select sale....friends came home with 2 performance type horses, the halter horses went sailing right over my light beer budget, into Dom Perigon.....lol.....it was all great fun tho! Middle of the trip, Dr. calls from Johns Hopkins to let me know he wants me there asap, not bad, not good, just would feel better to have me back there so we'd have a read for the 6 months.....I was already going, but having him prompting me on a weekend to make air arrangements, kinda spooked me! So I'm off early am Monday after Thanksgiving.....I've been TRYING to catch up you guys, and all 1348 e-mails that loaded Sunday night....whew....have to do the vets, farms, folks, and those crazy hormone women first....lol....ME INCLUDED! I will tell you one thing I noticed, learned, whatever....when you are mod'ing or AF'ing, and you are doing well, and are put back into a totally familiar circumstance, and situation, a traditional yearly one, with the same great group of folks, most how don't overindulge and "crap out"....you MINDLESSLY, forget what you are doing! I have such myoptic vision about horses, that I'm just obsessed about my filly being "just right", checking her out, spiffying her up...then at the sale...just tunnel vision about their bloodlines, confromation, etc...age, too old or young to bred, old enough to breed, but isnt'...hummmmm prob?....all that....well, our horse trainer always has a big open bar for customers...I'm looking at the horses and his wife is pouring wine....she hands me one and seriously, I didn't even glance to see what it was, I was soooo absorded in a mare I wanting, I couldn'd do anything but add and subtract any flaws, and figure a price....I was standing by the bar, and had taken a couple of sips, of what she sat by me, and left it there, couple more sips.....and started feeling kinda fuzzzy headed, kinda bleery eyed, and started getting a weird dull headache....I said "Katie, what was that...?" to which she replied "your wine"....meaning my wine of "back in the day"....I hadn't had it come up yet, and when and if it did I was going with the on a diet route....just hadn't had the opportunity to even discuss it, hoping they'd just not notice....anyway, after I felt so yuck after the couple of plastic cups full, that I said, ewwwww, just don't give me anymore, its making my head hurt all of a sudden....feighning a headache, funny thing, so did my horse trainers wife...we started on green tea energy drinks to perk us up.....thing is....DO NOT MINDLESSLY WONDER INTO FAMILIAR TERRITORY WITHOUT HAVING SAID BRAIN IN THE GAME...now, I'm just a fanatic about horse flesh, once a tornado was blowing thru the barn, and I was down checking a mares foot...nearly got in trouble....lol....Good thing is, I shifted gears enough when I started feeling weird, and caught the culprit and stopped it.....ewwwwwwww......after just a few days AF, it kicked butt.....been fine since.....just realized you gotta be on top of the game and yourself CONSTANTLY...BUT...this site, and everyone sharing.....IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN DO IT....THAT AND PRAYER, MORNING AND NIGHT... I have to go to a fund-raiser in Austin Tex., tomorrow am, and will be back Thurs. right after lunch, and will check in with you all then....everyone hang in, we will do this together....MORE2...where are you...did you get to Palm desert...??? Furn???? Call me in the morning, I'll be driving for about 2 hrs., starting about 11am.....lemme know 'bout the furniture, house, all that.....love you all ssssssssoooooooooo much! And Bear you and Morrison get some great pics....Morrions thinks he's a shrimp-dip, but he's totally the right size....who needs to be Larry Bird.....I'm 5'3'', and once was madly in love with a 6'4" guy that had to put his hands around my waist, and hoist me up on the kitchen cabinet to get a kiss, it was that, you just pick me up and let me wrap my legs around his waist...got kind tedious...it much nicer to be able to reach your arms up high around a Hot Guy, and not have to have props!!!! So get over THAT...lol...You got what it takes, you just gotta put it in the right baskets! Call anytime.....Hi to everyone! Hope Luv Bug is ok, Bird, Nibs, Bear, hey where's Cindi....I'm still trying to catch up on Hormone Barbie, just slapped on my hormones too, watch out....the sacker guys at the groceries could be in trouble even....lol....Ok, I know I missed someone....but know you go with me everywhere I go always, in my heart, and prayers....constantly!!!!!!

Thanks magic. I will be on my best behaviour. Also, I have nothing against government employees, or social workers, etc. However, I guess I have to talk to somebody that will assess the magnitude of my problem, and then I may have to pay per session, if that is what they decide. My lawyer said you have to do it there way. It isn't the counseling I had in mind. Just sounds like another way to get a buck out of me. I'm all for help, but I just heard bad things about the way they do things. Maybe I should just wait to find out for myself. I just have a feeling if I told them the stuff I tell you, they would have me locked up, and that wouldn't make me better. Just make me mad. I have to be careful when I type stuff. It looks so negative at times. Gotta use more of these. :H :h

Hey tough. Good to hear from you. I put in my last post when you were doing yours. I know it's tough to catch up when you are gone a few days, huh? Such a soap opera. Can't miss an episode, or you won't know what the hell is going on. Glad to have you back. I'm off to sleep. Have to look fresh for the judge tomorrow. Can't go in looking like Reverend Jim from Taxi.

Dave my Morrison man, I'm going to bed too, and you are the first item on my prayer list, I'm going to pray for you to be a-ok, and it will be!!!! You let us know! I'll take my computer, so I can check in on your while I'm PR"ing....Just hold it together, get a good night sleep....and seriously, breathe deep, and tell the big Guy upstairs to help you...(walk with me, talk to me...) crazy as it may sound right now....when you, I, Bear, More2, Boots, all really really are anxiety ridden, stressed, about to snap, we stop, breathe, and pray...right in our tracks, cars (well, ok, Boots has been screaming Oh God in hers anyway), but you get my drift....bad, bad thought come in, hysteria/fear set in, breathe them out by taking a breath, and saying "evil thought blowing out, good thoughts coming in"....or just breahe and each exhale is a bunch of dirty ol crap you've had inside, deep breath, blow it out....take a long clean breath of air deep down inside....at the very least, you'll feel calmer...and you won hyperventilate....lol....wish we could all be surrounding you....love you lots....let us know....you will be on my mind all day tomorrow.

Good luck today Morrison. I will be thinking of you today while I am dragging around work.....Got my water pump yesterday. I will try to put it on after work. I never got it over the weekend since I spent too much taking the kids to a big arts and crafts show. Bought some great smelling soap that smells of pine trees. I will have to take a shower with it and decorate myself with those Xmas ball earrings and some lights and tinsel. Somebody might try to chop me down though and put me in a Xmas tree holder. Oh I forgot, I must put a star on my head. Gotta get ready for work. Happy day all. bird

Morrison, I am going to be praying for you and your ordeal all day. I know it will work out for the best.

I love and miss you all.

God Bless

30 days???

God Damn it!! I wanted this to be over with today. I have to go back to court Jan. 2. This sucks. January is our busiest month in the Convention Business with CES in town. What bad timing. Oh, and the best part? I?m getting the same f***ing thing I would have gotten had I just stayed in jail when they grabbed me. I did 3 days, and I could have done 7 more. They offered me 10 days and a 1000 dollar fine. The only difference now is I?ll do the 10 days (3 served) and a 750 fine. Woop dee doo!! I?ll still have to do all the other stuff. Loss of license, DUI awareness class, victim impact panel, and the evaluation, which I?ll get to later. So, not only could I have all of this done, but it cost me months of worrying about it. Oh, and let?s not forget the 2200 dollars extra between bail to get out and the lawyer. Bad mistake!!! Why did I just not do the 10 days when offered? Because if I showed up to work after 10 days, I wouldn?t have a job. Then I?d be facing trying to get a job with 2 DUIs on my record, and no license. Yeah, I could flip hamburgers, but I don?t think the landlord would appreciate me not paying rent. Another kicker. They give you that shitty public defender when you are in holding to tell you what it up. He didn?t tell me I could plead guilty, and still get bailed. Then I could have done my remaining days at a later date, at my convenience. Why would I even know that was an option? I didn?t ask, because I just figured it was how it was. Look at the irony here. If I had gotten in more trouble, I would know this fact, and I?d be much better off in the long run. This would be in the past, and I?d have more money in my pocket. Now, if I was a bigger F*** up, I?d know the system better, therefore paying less of a price. Ha-ha. Funny, isn?t it? I guess the lesson here from society is, if you?re not good at breaking the law, it is really not worth it. Okay, I know that really isn?t the point, just seems like a flawed system. I have no problem with being punished. I was clearly wrong. But why do I have to wait until January? Uggg. Much worse punishment than just staying in lock up. Somebody could have let me in on that little tidbit on information. Oh, and the review. From all sources, including my lawyer, as well as people I know personally, and some people on here that emailed me, it is a joke. As I mentioned in a previous post, it sounds like you can do nothing but hurt yourself here. So I?m going to lie through my teeth. Why lie? Why lie when I know I have a problem? Because I?m not putting ANY faith in their means of doing something. I?ll do counseling on my own, and other things that can help. All that will happen if I am honest with these people is a lot of time spent going to meet with them, which will come at a price. Uggg. I can?t even get started on any of this until Jan. 2. WTF.

Okay, now that I?ve vented my disgust, I just want to thank everybody for all their support and prayers. Now I know what I?ll have to do, and it isn?t bad in the least. The worst part, as I mentioned, is I have to wait until Jan. 2. Guess I should thank God for what I have, and I do. But I?m still human, and get frustrated at times. I just got home, so I?m sure this feeling will diminish, like all my feelings do. In a few hours I can be doing back flips for all I know. Ha-ha. Oh, and I did mention in the past about a program they have that I was interested in. Well, it wasn?t offered. That is just for people that don?t want jail. The woman I work with has to go through this strict 90 program, but she is too fragile to do a day in jail. 7 days isn?t going to hurt me in the least. So, I guess I can go back to calling those numbers Bear gave me. I wasn?t too persistent, as I was thinking I?d get hooked up with something through court. One day at a time I guess. Still going to take the meds I?m on, and get some antabuse too, as an insurance policy. If I get another DUI, it?s a year in jail. And that my friends, is something I can?t do. Take care all. Flame away at my constant negative attitude at the whole situation. :H

30 days???

Trust me Morrison, It could be a LOT WORSE!
Firstly, let me say sorry it happened at all. But VERY GLAD NOBODY was HURT!

I had to go to court 3 times over the same incident! All because of small town BS & small town minds... who's who, making phone calls, etc... to DA (from the B*tch who ran the alcohol classes) wouldn't let me sign up for them! I guess she held some sort of grudge from high school

To make a loooonnnngstory short. I ended up having my insurance company thinking I had 3 DUI's,(threatening to drop me!) when it was only 1!
The court records & DMV got screwed up thinking I had 3 DUI's ALL IN THE SAME DAY!@!!
And they're telling ME I NEED TO PEE IN A CUP YO PROVE I"M SOBER?!!!
GRRRRR!
Tell me I wasn't PISSED! I was ready to PISS ON THE COURTROOM FLOOR FOR EM!
It took months to get my record straightened out. Even after I'd already jumped thru all of the hoops, paid all the fines, taken the classes...

30 days???

Jude, you're story is worse than mine, no doubt. I should have mentioned I'm really disappointed with my lawyer. The fact I'm getting the same thing I would have gotten had I not hired him (sans 250) dollars, got me irked. I know what I was getting before I went before the judge, cause the plea was made. I just wanted it over with. Then I'm told I have to come back January 2, and my first thought was, "MOTHER F***ER!!" Yes, good thing that nobody was hurt. Maybe if I didn't get pulled over for that busted headlight, I would have ran somebody over. What is messed up is this. One lady at court was in front of me on her 2nd offense, and got 60 days, with 10 suspended, so she would have to do 50. Another guy, 2nd offense, got 90 days, with a full 88 days suspended, and had one served, so he had to do one freaking day!!!!! This guy had pot and ecstasy in the car to boot!! I guess his lawyer did his job. Christ, what a disparity in sentencing. I was sitting there thinking, that dude better get down on his knees and blow his lawyer. Haha. Did you think I was saying he should get on his knees and thank God? I was going to say he should do that, but man, that lawyer must have pictures of the judge doing some pretty freaky stuff. Anyway, you can tell I'm back to being a wise ass, which means I'm all good. Things could always be worse. I just got done reading a book that was loosely centered around the holocaust. Christ, whenever you think you have it bad. Wow, you don't even know. Love you all

[Saint Jude]

30 days???

It really makes you appreciate your FREEDOM though! When it's being dangled in front of you...

You're right there are so many things in this world that are so unjust...
I read the weekly court reports in the local paper here, and just count my blessings. It's not me this time...by the grace of Dog

Get in his knees & thank his lawyer!LOL:HMust've done that in advance as well...

30 days???

wow, morrison, i'm happy for you that you at least know what is what. i'm sorry that it ever happened. um really i am bro. i hear alot of your frustration and anger. the rest is up to you to release that, you know time to let go of some of this stuff that is really working you up. the more we get worked up the more likely we are to drink. time for you to have a little peace of mind i think.
love you

[morrison]

30 days???

Yes. I'm definitely not that bummed out. I mentioned to some other members that I was surprisingly laid back the last few days. I really didn't care. Not that I didn't care in a negative connotation. But, I was really letting go. Whatever happens, happens. It just freaked me out when they said I had to come back Jan. 2nd. I thought, are you kidding me? I accepted my fate, and now you are prolonging this? Ha-ha. I'm laughing. They are never going to break me as long as I can say in my heart that I am doing the right things. I realize, that I truly am my own worst enemy. Nobody can truly hurt you, but yourself. I'm talking true pain. Sure, you may be hit, and tormented, but nobody can hurt you, as long as you are at peace with yourself. Something I am only beginning to learn. Was that maybe the lesson of Christ? Whether one believes in Christ or not, the story is there. Was it all about an incredible amount of pain on every level, only to see that one shall rise again? Oh, I'm not saying my meager situation is analogous to Christ. Ha-Ha. I mentioned in a previous post how just reading a book influenced my way of thinking the last few days. It really did. I don't think I'm alone with the self destruction issue here. I never realized how much one could hurt themselves. Is it possible to have it so good that we subconsciously create turmoil? Life is pretty good. Well, it is for myself, and a lot of people. If you have the capability to be here, on the Internet, you are doing pretty good. Imagine how much worse it can be? I really am growing, exponentially, and I have all of you to thank for getting me kick started. :h
