Fen - if it was somewhere your sister wanted to go, I'm sure she would jump in the car and take off. It's really not fair.
I'm glad that you told Mrs Fen how upset you were. It was really rotten to put you in a drinking situation........especially when she knew how uncomfortable you were going to be. I would be pissed.
Amazing that the woman was drinking like that. Wow!

Thanks for being here, Nora. Yes, sister has a crappy part-time job at Lowe's in the gardening dept. It was "going away" until just now. Suddenly, work is hopping again for her.

I am so sick of Mrs. Fen insisting on my sobriety, yet compromising it at every chance. It really sucks.

Yes is does suck....seems like our SO's have a black cloud hanging over us lately....testing us....damn it anyway....but we are strong and will survive this and be better for it....

I agree, Dottie. I will bow out of any further nonsense Mrs. Fen has in store for us.

I know what you mean. I should be sober unless he wants to drink, which granted isn't too my extreme or anything. But, then if I decide on beer when he doesn't want one, it is an issue. I dealt with him drinking heavily for years. Oh well, doesn't matter.I do have a problem but I just don't like the double standard.

Non problem drinkers are simply clueless about what we go through in those types of situations... I think no matter how they say they will support us, when push comes to shove, I don't think they really know how....

Maybe I'm just being a simpleton, but even my SO says things about drinkers and drinking that make me want to rip his face off.

Fen, I think you deserve a huge hug :l and a big thank you for showing us how to do it even under the crappiest of circumstances...:thanks::h

Nora, please go order some Breathe from DoTerra...you will be shocked how much easier you will 'breathe' promise:l

Dots, feet up, Netflix on!

Only 2 dungees tonight- we got a ton of females but you are not allowed to keep them...still that boat is a lot of fun- fast and fun...when I come home from AZ I plan on lots of ocean time...I leave on Tuesday...:new:

Mama, k9 Liz,malls, Reccie and EW- sleep well

Love you my people:l

I have not read back but Fen I am so proud of your super hero powers. I would have been livid

No time to read back yet, but Dottie, was it you that had the broken razor issue with your Dad?
Ask them to let him shave from a basin or line the sink with washcloths (except for the drain) so that if he drops it it will not break.
Hugs to everyone, I'm running late for work.
And I TTFP!!
Nora, it was me asking for numbers! Xoxo

Nursie, how far do you run on the treadmill? I will be on mine in a bit too! Boy did I eat this weekend!
It was a great weekend, and I will fess up as well. I did have a few (3) glasses of wine over the course of the evening. I've had five days off and have kept super busy. Painted the spare bedroom, which is now becoming our media room. Bought a chaise and recliner. We did a BBQ on the fourth and the fireworks. Somewhere in there we hung out in the pool. Last night we saw the movie Tammy, which was horrible! Wish I could get my money back. We took the kids with us. So it was nice to be with family.
Today I'll go food shopping. Then I pick up EB and my son in law at the airport. They honeymoon in Hawaii is over. They're in LA and last I heard trying to make the connection to NY. I'm so excited! I've missed her so! Tonight I will go shopping with CJ. Her boyfriend works evenings now and I gotta tell you, I don't hate it.
Sorry to bore you all but I thought you should know what I've been up to, hahaha.
Nora that nasal spray is great! Did the trick for me, hope you'll be feeling better soon!
kradle don't you leave tomorrow? Hope all goes well
mama, my son makes sarcastic remarks about my al use too. Sorry your son is less than supportive. I think they don't understand how to help.
Hope I've made up for not being around this weekend. Love you all!

Mama, I'm afraid I'm not handling this gracefully at all- I AM livid!

Liz, keeping busy helps, so good thing you're painting that room.

I hope a wonderful honeymoon was had by the newlyweds, although you really can't go wrong where Hawaii is concerned! :H

Hello all,
Nursie That is a great idea but dad cant remember anything I tell him from one day to the next. I am just grateful he can still shave himself. We are going there later today.
Lots of errands today then need to start packing up the RV. We head out next week.
I think hubby is possessed. He has outbursts of temper that are getting worse. I say or do something and he goes off in a rage. He did the same thing last night and got on me for eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich...I want to lsoe weight etc, blah blah blah...I don't get it at all...I would mention it to our doctor but last time I mentioned something about his memory issues it was kind of blown off...looking for another doctor too..
Off to brunch. Back later.

can they run an alzheimers screen on your hub Dots??? I know that is a terrifying thought, but it might be worth mentioning...plUS DH has been stressing with his his kids there...
My new computer back at work...the screen resolution and fonts are all different, but I am fiddling around with it
Nora..I have the headache from hell and I was on the sofa all day yesterday, so I am hoping I don't have your crud....we are always getting each other sick around here!
And Fen - you deserve to be livid, especially if Mrs Fen knew....to be honest, I would have drunk (drank?)

I feel you on the AL and partner thing....I am good all week and the hubs shows up with a bottle of Crown Saturday afternoon....
