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

“I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom.”
― Edgar Allan Poe

Very cold here at 13F, with a star filled sky and no wind.

I'm in for another 24 hours and thank you very much!

Thanks Jude, for a good quote today and for bringing to mind Edgar Allen Poe. I used to love his poem, The Raven. Still do I suppose.

Quoth the Raven, "Never more"

24 more al free hours please and thank you.

Thanks for the quote, Jude! That definitely sounds like why I drank the past few years.. not for pleasure, that's for sure!

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

[abcowboy]

Great quote [MENTION=24080]Jude58[/MENTION]! I might have started drinking for the pleasure, but it sure didn't turn out that way in the end! I drank to get drunk, plain and simple...

I'm not sure about my culinary skills [MENTION=22409]Quit wining[/MENTION], but I know I don't have a pretty face lol.

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

Had to jump back on here this morning to say what a beautiful morning it is! I’m so grateful to be a part of this website. Happy Monday!

[abcowboy]

That is definitely a beautiful sunrise [MENTION=24196]Rava[/MENTION]! Amazing the things we can appreciate when we're sober and not hungover!

40F and overcast, rain on the way.
For some reason, my computer keeps crashing, having trouble posting.
Beautiful day here yesterday, another bike ride.
Beautiful photo, Rava, Thanks!
Chilling quote, Jude, but oh so true.
Peace and 24 more for all of us, please.

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

Thought provoking quote for sure. Thanks, Rava and what a gorgeous sunrise!

I'll take another 24, please!

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

Another 24 hours please & thank you.

I’m walking on eggshells today as it seems everything I do is not right. Think my little buddy and I will head out for another meander shortly. This is one of the most frustrating things about parkinson’s. I know it’s the disease talking and not Mrs QW.

Cowboy, I’ve offered to join the rep from our provincial Parkinson association at our local radio station for an interview about upcoming courses starting here in a few weeks. I think I have the perfect face for radio!!

Hope everyone has had/is having a great Monday, af of course.

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

Good morning. Another 24 for me please!

“There is no such thing as liquid courage — it’s called drunken stupidity”

Been there done that... I once tried to get on the stage with Charlie Daniel's.....let me tell ya, it didn't work out so well!
[MENTION=22409]Quit wining[/MENTION]...do you have anyone that can help out with your wife? Being a caregiver for someone you love is emotionally gruelling, and sometimes you just have to step back and do something for yourself. It will enable you to see the big picture, and make you a better caregiver. Just a thought.

Sitting here with my coffee listening to the gusty wind hurling sleet at my windows...glad I'm inside!

Another 24 hours of peace please and thank you!

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

QW, Fingers crossed for a better day for you and Mrs. QW.

Rava, thanks so much for yesterday's pic. It was gorgeous!

Thanks for today's quote, Jude. Definitely gets right to the nub of the thing, doesn't it! We had those gusty winds here last night but it has calmed quite a bit over night and we are sitting at a pleasant 52F. That will be dropping all day I'm afraid. I was up last night bc I couldn't sleep and I realized how very tired I am of the silence. I could hear no nature sounds at all. I don't understand why even the coyotes are silent in the winter. But, this morning once again I stepped out on the porch but this time I heard the sound of talons on the metal gutter and even though it was dark I made out the outline of a bird in the dim glow of the porch light, likely an owl, taking flight away from its perch on the house. At least that was something!

24 more please for all of us, please.
