~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Slo]

Good morning, fine people!

Hi, MarkG! Read the website “Understanding B6 Toxicity Using Western Research” for more information. It is eye-opening.

Dill, yes, it is very scary that one’s health can be so harmed by trying to be healthy! At least Australia is waking up to the problem of B6 toxicity, and putting warning labels on supplements containing it.

Jude, drinking looks very different through sober eyes, doesn’t it; as overconsumption sets in, and people become loud & obnoxious.

Bubba had tax return money to spend! I am spending mine on windows.

My lovely cousin came by yesterday to “see my new place” and to visit a bit. It was so wonderful to see her, as she’s such a nice person. She & her second husband broke up over strain when two of my cousin’s adult children, one after the other, struggled with alcoholism; and she went headlong into trying to save them. Happily, now she & her ex are slowly talking over their problems over that time and how they felt and reacted, and they may end up getting back together! And if not, at least they will have resolution. Her daughter is approaching 5 years sober, and her son is still actively very addicted, chugging vodka, and with no plans to change.
I am happy for her that she may not have to live forever with this divorce loneliness like I do.

Let’s all commit to another day of sobriety!

Late check in today for no reason other than I forgot. Welcome MarkG. Hope everyone is having a great Saturday! 24 more please and thank you!

Good morning cafe! Not sure what today's plans are, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if we just hung out and did nothing. Starting to feel a little homesick as it's been almost a month since I've been away. Miss my hubby and the critters.

24 more for all of us please...

Jude, it is so great to see you first thing in the morning. It feels like all's right with the world once again.

Cowboy, we released the fish the same day we bought them. When we purchased them, they were loaded into plastic bags with aerated water and then packed into cardboard boxes. The boxes were light enough for us to carry. The fish only had an hour and a half or so before they would not have enough oxygen, so we had to work fast. The drive home was 40 minutes, then we had to float the plastic bags in the pond to acclimatize. We gave them 20-30 minutes and then opened the backs and set them free. We haven't seen any floaters, so I guess they are doing well. The pond has been so muddy with all the rain and run off that we have no chance of seeing much.

Coffee's on, everyone! Let's all have a great, Sober Sunday!

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

I've got some breakfast ready!

[abcowboy]

Glad you had a good visit with your cousin Slo, and it sounds like you both have lots in common.

A month is a long time to be away from home Jude, glad you're finally feeling better and can enjoy some of your time away.

The pond must be fairly deep then dill if it can support the fish through the winter, or do you have to aerate through the winter months.

Hello to the rest of the gang and hope everyone has a peaceful Sunday!

Good morning Cafe and Thanks for the yummy breakfast Cowboy! You always pull out a wonderful spread each and every Sunday! Dill thats so cool about the fish in your pond. I have seen them do that on TV. By the way I bought an underwater fishing camera on Tik Tok for 50.00. You just throw it in the pond (no matter how murky) and you can see the fish swimming around. It’s so cool. I bet you and Mr. D would love to see them swimming. It’s an amazing little gadget! Jude, I am sure you are getting homesick. I am feeling that way too as it’s been 3 months. We will be back in another month. I am looking forward to it. Wishing everyone a great and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.

Just wanted to share this with Dill or anyone interested. This is a snap shot from my Underwater fishing camera video. Our pond is murky and you cant see anything. We have seen turtles and ducks swimming underwater too with this little gadget!

That’s really a fun camera, Rava! Is it a shared pond in your condo community in Florida?
Fascinating to hear about stocking your pond with fish, Dill.

I hope you get a low-key day to just enjoy being together, Jude. You’re still recovering from illness after all, so need a rest day.

I guess it is Sunday! Thanks for breakfast, Cowboy.

I drove to my mother’s area an hour away and went out to dinner with her and visited for awhile in her apartment. It was comforting and actually pretty nice! My little sister & her family, whom my mother lives near, are gone to Florida for Spring Break; so, thought I should step up in their absence.

Happy Sunday!

Thanks for breakfast, ABC. Waves to all. I'll take another day of freedom!
