Hmm,wonder what it was,I'm just kicking back too,funny how mwo is an anti-alkie site but it's dead on a Saturday nite haha,like every one else is out partying( just joking) I'm watching Louie so can't really get into any of my shows,I'm a little irritated at Bobbi, she's only in town for one more week and all she's been doing is sleeping! I think she's missing her boyfriend boo-hoo

[Dottie Belle]

Yep pauly I have noticed that too..I guess folks check in from work during the week but the weekends they are busy...glad u are here with me....

[paulywogg]

Yeah,just watching "chopped" on the food network, I love it and "cut throat kitchen"

[Dottie Belle]

I love those shows too.....I am watching property brothers...they are so good looking...mmmmmm

[Nursie]

Hey guys, just checking in. I miss you!
Things are ok here. Chemo sucks, still healing from surgery but I'm ok.
Good thing is I'm not drinking and not smoking!
I can barely eat lol
Hope all is well here

Hi Nursie!! Glad you're doing good,luckily Mama has been kind enough to keep us posted, you take care sweetie and Dots,those guys are hot,who cares what they're fixing all they gotta do is show up haha

Hey - has anyone here tried Naltrexone ? I have been reading about it and am thinking about trying it ...... although at the weekend is probably not a good time to ask......

[paulywogg]

Sunni, I've never tried naltrexone,I've only read about it in the meds threads,are you doing ok?

[Dottie Belle]

sun I tried it years ago and I didn't like how it made me feel and so didn't keep taking it. And since I felt fuzzy I didn't want to drink but the fuzzy feeling was worse than drinking.....

Good Morning and Happy New Year, Stepping Friends!!

I haven't been here in a while but I am just peeking in to say hello. :-)

Nursie, you are a model of strength....thanks for checking in and I am praying for your speedy recovery. I think you will beat this, I really do. I am in your corner.

Sunni-Naltrexone did work for me and the only side effect was nausea, so I would start out by taking a half a tablet but with food to minimize the nausea. If you surf on the Meds Thread, there are tons of helpful threads on just Naltrexone (Nal).

Mama-I read that you played checkers twice in one night. Was it with the same guy? Hahah

Dottie-I like to watch the Property Brothers, too. Good looking-yeah, a little bit...but I don't like the facial hair and they're too skinny for me. Hahaha.

Mama-hey, girl...you and I are turning f-f-f-f-54 in less than six weeks. YIKES!!!

All is well here in the land of Rusty. The sun is FINALLY shining after about two weeks straight of gray skies. I had the best Christmas ever with my family, and I will spend NYE with my 87-year-old mother. She has been my NYE date for the last 10 years. HAHAHAH

Pauly-I live about an hour from Rockford, IL, where there is a regional airport. The only airline that flies out of there is Allegiant, and in the winter, they have round-trip Tix to Vegas (hotel included at Luxor) for $215!!! I think I might leave the frozen tundra of Wisconsin and pop over there in March and thaw out. :-)

Big hellos to Kradle, Nora, and those MIA: K9, Fen, Recluse, and Glass.

I hope everyone has a lovely Sunday!!!

Good morning. So good to hear from you Nursie!
Dottie for me it's hard to check in from work. So if I'm not here that's likely where I am. Last night went to our daughters first dinner party. She did great and it was a lovely evening. She even sent us home with leftovers! Staying home from church as hubby and I are coughing! I'm hoarse and hubby thinks I sound sexy! Gotta love it.
Have a great Sunday!

[paulywogg]

Hey all, good to hear from you Rusty yes you should take advantage of that deal, it's a steal! It will be nice here by March,right now it's too cold for me Liz,what did your daughter make? I'm always interested in foodhaha,Mama used to keep us up on what was for dinner for the nite, she's been slacking, Dots,we talked about cutthroat kitchen last nite and I was thinking some of those sabotages are so mean! I'd be pissed off the whole episode if I were on there, not much planned for today it's too cold! Probably just grocery store, yay,gosh I dug up one of my old threads last nite as a reminder of why I won't drink and I think people reading it think I am,grrr I'm NOT drinking, and if I were I would be totally honest you all know that,well I hope we all have nice,peaceful Sundays

Hi Guys,
Sorry for being away but this issue with GF took a toll on me and NO I didn't have a drink or smoke, decided to get in touch with a relative of mine that fought this battle a long time ago and he's 10700 days sober so I figured he would be a good shoulder to lean on. HE gave me great advise and suggestions, told me to call him and stay in touch with him any time, we discussed GF issue and his words were "you can't offer something to someone if you have nothing to offer to yourself", this made me think and re-evaluate all that has been going on past 2 years and he's right. I was being a care taker and neglecting my own wants and needs....
So it's with a clean heart and conscience that I move on from that relationship knowing that I have made the best decision for me and of course my son, as when I told him what was going on his response was "I have my dad back and I only want to see him happy" WOW what an awesome response.
Thank you all for your support and onward to a positive 2015.
XXOOXX

Hi FT,I really love those words of wisdom he gave you I'm proud of you for not drinking or smoking throughout all of this gf mess,take care

[Dottie Belle]

Hello all,
I had an allergic thingy in the middle of the night. My hands itch and it is horrible. Wonder if doggie and I got in the same thing...so I got up and took some benedryl and laid in bed waiting for the itching to stop....no church or anything...darn. And now yet another funeral at church....will be on Friday. Really nice gentleman....sigh.

Great to hear from you Nursie...sorry things are so hard with the treatments....we are all thinking about you and sending positive thoughts.

FT glad u got things sorted out. Hope your son brings you joy..

Need something to eat so I will be back later.
