~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

A bit late, but breakfast is ready!

Thanks for the great quotes last week [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION]! And a great one to start your week [MENTION=24196]Rava[/MENTION]! Sometimes sobriety seems to sentence us to a life of being different, but it is a good different!

My Doc is one of those no-nonsense, no chit-chat kind of guy as well. He tells it like it is straight up, and that's what I want from a doctor!

Bubba and I shoveled a lot of heavy, wet snow yesterday, and I have more to look forward to when I get home today. I have to go around to the farm first to pick up some material that I need for my job this week, hopefully the 80kph (50mph) winds yesterday didn't blow heavy drifts across the lane!

Happy March everyone! Headed home in 28 days and I'm ready. The weather back home has been warm and dry so it makes me anxious to get back to the new house. I'll take another 24, please and thank you!

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

Another 24 hours please & thankful.

Had a busy day yesterday getting a lot of things crossed off the honey-do list while Mrs QW had a visit with the grandkids. The clothes we bought for the grandkids in Mexico fit perfectly and I’m guessing that their nice parents are enjoying a cup of Mexican coffee as I write this.
As men know, scoring brownie points is always a good thing so when Mrs QW got home, there was a roast beef dinner on the table.

I hope that March comes in like a lion and goes out as a lamb. It hasn’t been a particularly bad winter weather wise but I’m looking forward to putting shovels away and getting the lawnmower out.

Have a great af Sunday everyone!

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



This quote describes me perfectly! While out to lunch, the woman encouraged me to get a drink (not knowing my history). I just said simply, that I can’t stop at one so its much easier not to drink at all. Its funny how being so honest catches people off guard. She immediately said that sometimes that happens to her as well. End of discussion. I’m sick of being an asshole. Another 24 for me please and thank you.

5:30am in Alberta, another 24 please, and thanks...

-1C (31F) this morning in Vermilion, with more snow to shovel!

In the past 24 hours, these people have signed in for 24 hours of sobriety:

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

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

Well, that one made me chuckle Rava. Thanks! I think the magic of alcohol is that it creates a different result in different people. So Asshole could be: fool, idiot, loudmouth, knucklehead, etc.

Good job racking up the points, QW!

Thanks for that great breakfast, Cowboy. You must've worked up an appetite with all that snow shoveling!

24 more, please and thank you.

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

Loved the quote [MENTION=24196]Rava[/MENTION]! I know a lot of people that turn into assholes when they drink!

Another 24 please and thank you!

[abcowboy]

Yep, your quote describes me as well [MENTION=24196]Rava[/MENTION]! Maybe not instant, but after one too many, that's what I turned into! I'm like you as well when I explain why I don't drink, honesty is the best policy!

Good luck with the surgery this morning [MENTION=22409]Quit wining[/MENTION], hope all goes well!

Shoveled snow for about an hour and a half when I got home yesterday, not as much this morning to shovel thankfully!

5:38 am in Vegas I won't be drinking today

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

I heard a bird chirping this morning! Spring must be coming!

Was up at early yesterday to go volunteer at a swim meet, then we headed up to see baby grandson, since we were already headed that direction!

Thanks for the Netflix documentary recommendation about the opioid epidemic, Dill! I would definitely like to see that one.

“Recovery is not a death sentence, addiction is.” This will make a good mantra to keep in my head when I start wrongly thinking the other way. I can just correct my thinking on the spot with this one. Thank you.

Thanks also, Rava, for a real life example of how to deflect having a drink pushed on you; and that sometimes it’s ok to just be honest! And how to do it, casually and nonchalantly.

Thinking of you today, QW.

Today, a Monday, will be an easy day for me not to drink!

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

True quote, Rava. Not sure I was ever an asshole but I sure was an idiot often enough!

Thinking about you today, QW. Hope all goes well with your surgery and hoping it resolves the pain.

I'll take another 24, please and thank you!

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

Another 24 hours please & thank you.

Thanks for the thoughts and wishes about my surgery today. I’m nervous but also looking forward to having less pain.

Love the quote! I know people like this. Actually I worked for a few in my banking career including one manager who would go home for a drink mid-morning, drink at lunch, and go home for a mid-afternoon drink. I learned that if I needed anything from him to ask early in the morning. By days end he was unbearable and both staff and customers avoided him.

Jessie and I saw a flock of geese the other day, a sure sign of spring.

Have a great af Monday everyone!

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

Hope that your surgery went well yesterday [MENTION=22409]Quit wining[/MENTION]!

Another 24 please and thank you!

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



Life certainly is better without the pressure of drinking. Of course this quote came from Carrie Fisher, who never seemed to break away from her addiction. Sad..... QW, I hope your surgery went well. Another 24 for me please and thank you.
