Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[MENTION=20929]Ginger999[/MENTION], what was your golf score today?
[MENTION=21602]abcowboy[/MENTION], I also enjoyed the feminine product / booze isle comparison, I laughed out loud.
[MENTION=22409]Quit wining[/MENTION], excellent news. I am very happy for both of you, I'm sure it's a relief all the way around.
[MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION], congratulations to Mrs. Techie, and holy cow what a garage sale find! I just do not have luck (or skill) like that.

As for me, it was a solid 9 hours on a conference call. I didn't have to do much other than pay attention and answer the odd question, but it is hard to hear someone else doing my job. I would have been the one facilitating. But, by the same token it was so very nice to not have that stress load.

I have to buckle down and really sink my teeth into staying on the straight and narrow this weekend. My frame of mind has been a little bit off and I need to spend the time to peel back the onion and figure out why I am letting a little bit of negativity in. This has been the key for me lately. Instead of just white knuckling things, I want to dig deep and figure out what old defense mechanism is twisting me up. What I find is that it is untrue, counter productive, and certainly doesn't serve me or the people I love. I will make some time for some stillness, and maybe some yoga in the morning before day 2 of the conference call starts.

I hope everyone's hump day was all it could be. I am looking forward to 24 more please and thanks.

Techie, that's great news about the possibility of your wife making a publishing deal. What kind of books does she write? Exciting news for sure!
[MENTION=22409]Quit wining[/MENTION], so glad that your wife had good results from her latest exam. It must have been such a relief for both of you!

I'm in for another 24 please and thank you!

[abcowboy]

That was fantastic news [MENTION=22409]Quit wining[/MENTION], I bet a huge relief for both of you!

Congrats to Mrs. T on the book deal, and to you [MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION] on the watch find!

Good morning Cafe. Big Al, if you have not already check out Annie Grace, This Naked Mind. She has a free online course called The Alcohol Experiment and goes into the science of why we drink. May be something to look over when you feel your defenses are down. Hope everyone has a great and sober day. Another 24 for me please and thank you.

Happy AF Thursday to us all!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

QW, great news about Mrs QW.

ABC, glad things are starting to settle down for you and you're going to scale back some with work. You can always fill in that time with golf! We will keep the 5th wheel we have for trips back home. It's smaller and quite manageable to tow.

Dill, send some of those yummy scones my way!

BigAl, I second Rava's suggestion about checking out This Necked Mind. I love science and learning about alcohol and the brain was fascinating.

Yesterday was my first pain free round of golf in 20 years. The exercises are definitely working to improve my back/hip pain and my balance! I'm a bogey golfer and that hasn't changed much tho. Lol It was a beautiful day for a round! I'll gladly take another 24!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Another 24 hours please & thank you.

Thanks for the kind words about Mrs QW’s meeting with the neuropsychiatrists. So we’ve added another item to the list of what it isn’t but we’re still looking for what it is. Early tomorrow morning Mrs QW has yet another procedure.

Ginger, great that the exercises you’ve been doing are helping your golf game! That’s awesome. I’m hoping to get similar results from seeing a physiotherapist next month.

Big Al, thanks for the reminder why I don’t miss work. A 9 hour conference call, sounds like fun! Not. And you have Day 2 today. I hope it goes well. You’ll be ready for a weekend away from work!
I know you’re concerned about how the weekend will go but look at what you’ve accomplished. You like the new you. Your family and co-workers must be embracing the new you. You know staying strong will get you through just fine. It’s nothing more complicated than what we all practice - one day at a time.

Have a great af Thursday everyone!

QW

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good morning Cafe friends and golf enthusiasts everywhere. What course is that, Ginger. I have played many courses in Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Cave Creek. Keeping the prayers going for Mrs QW & Cowboy’s family. The Raccoons came knocking last night but I’ve closed the dog door to the garage. I just need to always remember to remove it in the morning so Maddie doesn’t hit it and get frightened. BTW, I’m getting in the holiday spirit and we have moved forward on our trip to France end of April ‘22. The trip insurance is a ripoff but necessary due to COVID and its variants.

So with Paris and The South Of France in mind, Joy and gratitude in my heart, I accept another twenty four. I wish you all the best day possible x

Very nice to see you Briseus! Hope you have the best of holidays!

QW, I'm so happy for Mrs. Q! What a relief. Now if only we could solve that weight loss issue!

Techie, how wonderful for Mrs. T! I'm sure you are so proud.

Ginger, glad to hear you had a pain free round of golf!

24 more, please and thank you.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good evening Cafe Friends! Just a long day of conference calls but I'lm glad to have it over with.

Good to see you Brisues!

Looking forward to another sober day!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good Morning all and Happy Friday. So happy to be waking up sober this morning. Today is our plumbing inspection. Hopefully if all goes well we will have some drywall repair and then the painter. I think once painted this place will look so much better. Hope everyone has a great day. Another 24 for me please and thank you.
