Undies for techie

So guys tell me what's this thread all about ?

[Miss Behaving]

Hello Rahul!!

This thread has many purposes which evolve over time. It started as a place where people from NZ and Australia (ie; underworld people) could congregate and talk about our struggles with drinking and sobriety and do so in a time zone where other people were awake and the rest of the world asleep. But we also have lots of regular visitors from other time zones (like Techie) who have become good mates. Right now it is very quiet as other undies get on with their lives and the various things confronting them, and in some cases just a general desire to spend less time on the internet! However, I still like to spend 10-15 minutes each day checking out what is going on in MWO, and if I'm in need of an outlet to say things (or even just to comment on things going on in my life in the expectatin that someone might be interested :-) ) than I'll usually just post it here. :cheerful:

I've been wondering whether to start a March thread or not, and have decided that I wont - but if anyone else wants to I'll come and keep you company :-) :namaste:

Hi ya Missy and anybody else ***waving madly***

Well it's been a weird couple of months for me with lots of 'Firsts'. Had my first ever Ultrasound, CT Scan, PET Scan, Biopsy; my first ever overnight stay in a hospital; my first taste of hospital tucker ... sooo many hitherto unknown joys. Still to come is an MRI after which I'm certain to be firing on all fours again.

Just dropped by at the Steppers - terrible news about Dottie's husband. So very sad.

Really sad news there Froglette...

Hiya Undies!! Very b&i with lots of "stuff", not as medically orientated as the Frogs by the sound of it though. Techie, hope Beth is well, thoughts for her x. And Missy!! Trip sounds fantabulous!

[Miss Behaving]

Had my first ever ... PET Scan, .....

As a matter of curiosity, how do they scan you for pets? And what did they find???

[tawnyfrog]

... what did they find???

Fur balls Missy, nothing but fur balls.

And traces of vented mandrel.

Hi Undies. Nothing new on my sister's condition. This is all so very difficult. We meet with oncology team again tomorrow. Before I travel back to Californis I need to get my mom sorted out with assistance, senior center, transportation, etc. If necessary I will take her with me out west but that would pain her to leave NY. However, the tough decisions are mine to make. Love you all!

Jones....NURSE JONES????

Hi Techie - I really feel for you. Dealing with all those family issues - particularly when you are dealing with issues with more than one person - is really hard. My thoughts are with you xxx

I'm having one of those weeks where the phrase " this too shall pass" is never far from my thoughts. And it has resulted in drinking dreams two nights in a row now. Bring on Friday ......

[Guitarista]

Morning all

You sure have a lot on your plate Techie. I wish for your sisters health to turn around for the better.

Take care there Missy. The thoughts that we need booze to relax, cope, enhance our own or other's company i know to be destructive. The feeling's good for an hour or 2, but for me after that, the floodgates have been opened, and i will keep poisoning myself till passout/sleep. This means i feel shit the next day, and so increases the likelyhood of repeating the process to 'git some relief'. What a negative and anti-me scenario. I want to treat myself with respect and be kind to me these days.

Re Nurse Jones:

My hope, and crazy dream is that with Happs posting again, Jonesy may not be far behind? I've been texting her, leaving messages for her on KTAB's FB page, on Twitter, twatter, fumblr, tumblr, rawkr, corkr, instagram, chookgram and all the usual haunts all to no avail. This is problematic for a number of reasons not least of which being that since Bridgetracker has stopped transmitting signal at the other end, my you tube customers are crying out for new content. I've compiled a 'Best of Bridgetracker the early years 2010-11' which has been flying out the door, but it's only a matter of time before my customers want a new series.

You know, it's amazing. People just love to see the average Aussie sheila going about her day, gardening, cooking, building a shed......Keep an eye out for the new Jones brand track suit pant, featuring that homely and practical 'just in from the garden' look. $149.99 at all Myer and David Jones stores.

Ooroo.

Thanks G. I'm engaging in a bit of chocolate and chocolate ice-cream binging instead. Which in my case is also a bit negative and anti-me, but chocolate/ice-cream as a poison is at least few rungs on the ladder above wine.

And I would like to say that I think people will post or no post as they see fit. I really enjoyed my internet-free time in January. However, at the moment I need MWO for a bit of sanity - I haven't heard back from the people at the job I had an interview for earlier this week :crybaby:. And since then I had a letter from HR informing me that my contract is up at the beginning of March at which point my employment will cease. Then an email about 5 minutes after that from The Big Boss apologising for HR's email ....... but since then a Big Fat Silence. So I keep MWO on in the background at work, so that when I feel a bit blah I can stop myself from going bonkers:cuss::cuss:

Hi folks. Just another New York winter day. Slate gray sky, bitter cold, with several inches of snow on the way. Taking mom to see my sister today. Gad I am hoping for some positive change in her condition. Last night I'm in a resturant near mom's place and I run into a guy I hadn't since high school. He acted as if I never left town or that we had met several times over the years. Odd. Coming home always leaves me with a curious feeling. It's as if I hadn't moved away but was teleported like in Star Trek but some of my particles were left behind in New York. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

[techie]

Ok I'm getting desperate so here is my plan: Don't you dare let on. Here we go....

Frog: I have a crack in my mud oven. How do I repair?

Jones: I need your thoughts on greywater for use in garden or house plants?
