ONE STEP AT A TIME... AUGUST, 2014

p.s. And don't apologize for being a "downer"... didn't you get the memo that that's what friends are for?! X

K9 - I am so sorry that you are down - but you are NOT a downer !!! Trust me - you have done amazingly I think - way better than I have been able to do so far - so NO worries - you will get there again - I know you will. Now - how are the cigs going? Did you know I have finally stopped ? With the vape - try it - it is an amazing tool!!

Zen - How are you able to take your laptop with you to Scotland? Is it dual voltage? I never take mine with me to UK - but would LOVE to !!

Jan - SO happy that you are taking the ABX - my ear is starting to hurt again and I DID finish BOTH courses of ABX that I was given!!

Zen - I have trouble with allergies too and ironically enough when I do take Benadryl, it bungs me up - UK style, not USA style - LOL. I found out not that long ago that the two have two entirely different meanings in each country and never knew !!!!

Gosh - haven't seen Tony in a LONG time .....

Off to try and sort out stuff for my trip in October ..... trying to sort out who I am going to see when and it is getting to be a nightmare!!! This is supposed to be a HOLIDAY !!!!

Back later - golly I do love working part time LOL

Sunny? I use an USA/UK adaptor to charge mine while I?m over there. I think all modern laptops are good to go otherwise you need to check what it says on the ?battery block? as I remember? Reccy will be able to tell you, he?s tech savvy. I took a laptop over last year and had no probs. I?d never thought about the ?bung? differences? hahaha! Can?t wait to use it now. You?re off back in October for sure then?

Computer chores? tick!

Laundry now followed by shopping? and OMG, I need to start packing. Panic! (which is MUCH preferable to stress!)

Talking about words/phrases... here is a good one. One of the guys I'm working with went to his dad one day because he'd been having a hard time with something and his dad said to him... "If you're looking for sympathy you'll find it in the dictionary between sh*t and syphilis". It wasn't very nice of his dad but OMG we all burst out laughing!

Sunny - you can tell me it's none of my business, but why did you go part time?? I think that's awesome!!

Trying again ..... Yes I have the UK trip booked - for the 8th October until the 18th October. No longer as otherwise it makes it difficult with folk who expect me to go and see them - it is no holiday for me when I am the one who is expected to go and see everyone !!! I get so stressed every time I go to UK - Hubs gets so fed up with it - he says every time I go to UK, HE gets the brunt of it as I get so stressed trying to sort everyone out that I am supposed to go and see !

Zen - I had no idea I could just take - and use, my laptop even if it isn't dual voltage ? I have an adaptor (Obviously) and use that for my Nook. I hate having to use the computers of the folk that I am staying with. RECCIE - HELP HERE PLEASE. Can I take my laptop ?? Please? Pretty please?

Jan - I will PM you re the part time stuff and also re the bunged up - unless Zen wants to enlighten you.... LOL

SO glad that you are taking your ABX - my ear is STILL bothering me - AND I took the whole two courses of ABX that I was prescribed. Daughter asked me if I wanted to go swimming today - but I am not going to go 'cos of my ear ....

Oh and yes - I have a vague feeling that it was me that told you about the fanny difference ...... LOL

The vape cig - is wonderful! I had tried the ones that look like cigs and had no luck with them so was reluctant to put more money into something else - but this has been awesome Jan - the main thing is to NOT buy cigs once yours run out - but just use the vape ......it really does work ...... I have not had a puff of mine for days now.

Hugs XXX

Quick reply - in USA bunged up means constipated - in UK it means your nose is clogged !! Do I have that right Zen ??

Sorry you're feeling bad about drinking last night nursie. Stress is a major trigger for a lot of us. Maybe you could have a think about alternative ways of relieving stress?

Best of luck to those who are trying to quit smoking, it must be a bugger to have to cope with two completely different addictions. I'm fortunate to have never taken up the habit.

Mama, the pennsatucky thing is starting to become ridiculous and it's not fair on you.

Zenny, I'd love a chat over words if you can manage it without neglecting your folks. It would be fantastic to be in the same time zone for a change! Glad you managed to catch up on sleep last night. And nope, you're not the only person here without a kindle or a tablet!

Sorry about the relapse niner. :upset: Don't worry about posting about how you're feeling, that's what this thread is for and why we're all here. I'm glad you'll be able to get some AB soon.

I do hope your ear infection isn't going to flare up again sunny. Do you need to go and see the doctor again?

Regarding your laptop, have a careful look at the label on the charger. If it's dual voltage like mine (mine says Input 100-240V on the label) then all you need is a very cheap adaptor that accepts a US plug and physically converts it into a UK plug. Otherwise you would need a slightly more expensive adaptor that includes a transformer to step the voltage down from 240V to 120V as well as doing the physical conversion. Search for "us to uk mains adaptor" on the Amazon website and you will find both kinds there.

Thanks for the bung explanation, I was wondering about that too! And now you've reminded me that cori posted the other day about finding thongs in the road. That is another word that means something altogether different over here! :H

Got to go, I'm late for swimming again. :upset:

I agree Pennsatucky is more trouble than she's worth, but she's pregnant, so we are treading very lightly on the Human Resources front. It's a shame that some people abuse that. Many women are deathly ill when pregnant and deserve to have special treatment. She's just crazy...so we'll leave it at that.
Sunnybutt, try not to stress over your trip. Just enjoy it, if you can!
K9 and I have been texting and she is back on the AB as of tonight. She knows we are here for her:h:h
