When is Mr S's birthday, Starty? Please wish him for me.

Glitzy, the thing about the site I'm using is that the profile and photos usually gives away whether they are heavy drinkers or big party goers. I stay far away from them. Although, I really have not had any longings for alcohol at all...I have now made that decision, and like giving up smoking, am so happy Iam free of that awful stress of finding, bying, hiding, being ashamed and embarrassed, and the endless trying to explain the mishaps away, that I would NEVER go back to that way of life again.

I EMBARRASSED ME!!
I LOST CREDIBILITY WITH ME!!

And that was the worst, because its just so unlike the person I really am.

I really never fully realised before that this was a disease I had, and all the trying to control myself at all times would never, ever have worked! It would always catch me out and let me down sometime or another....usually at important times, to my horror!!!

Hello everyone,
Thanks so much for the advice and support!

Satz, hysrerically funny....you get just how I feel....shit scared!!!

Anyway, I will be cautious, very cautious. My Mom was very young at heart and attractive, and she just hid away for the next 25 years until she died....I know she was lonely....but its the kind of thing I suppose one must look at early asto whether or not one is happy to live alone for the next 20+ years.

I have though realised that I will never find another Tony! That's what I have to make peace with.

Satz, glad you enjoyed your play...it looked good from what I read.

Oh Sunny - there will never be another Tony - he was Option A - but there are I'm sure lots of Option Bs out there . Decent guys in the same situation as you.
He will arrive when he is supposed to arrive. Follow your heart and do not think you will be your mother - you do not sound lonely to me Sunnybum.
The new job will open up all sorts maybe ? So just go there & meet new people ?

Where has everyone gone...still at work?

Afternoon,
Lovely sunny DRY day here, it would put a smile on your face.

Ah Sunny :hug: you dont sound like you mam at all! As Satz says, Tony will always be the one and only, but in time you might meet Mr Tuesday and Mr Friday and occasionally a Mr Sunday.. or not, maybe you'll be happier with bigger groups going places and doing new things,.
Good luck finding the time when you go back to work!!

Glitzy - that book looks interesting, must look it up. Off till Friday!

Evening army lovely sunny fresh afternoon here but very cold now. Bringing my female cat Lily off to the low cost vet we have here called Irish Blue cross for hr yearly boaster. Great service but its from a van so have to queque in the cold and hopefull there are not too many before and we get seen fairly quick. I leave a few mins before the van arrives at 7pm its only a 5 min bus journey. She's bout 7ibs plus small cage so lucky its not a far walk either way but i manage. Off to get the 6.30 no 7 back later.

Evening,
Quiet day of pootling turned into the hairdresser turning up (I'd forgotten she was coming) and then a friend 'popped' in for a bit (2 hours) after dropping her son off at the airport......knackered.com

Hi Spiderwoman.....long time no see.

Morning army.

Got terrible Internet and phone problems so on and off this last 3 weeks. A truck drove into a local exchange box and since then it has been pot luck every day.

Grrrrrrr

Evening Ladies with lovely hair and wonky computers..

Not much happening here. Day off tomorrow, kids on their mid term so not a pampering day.. middle child starting pony camp, which is alien to me, so will be interesting!

[sunbird2]

Hello Mary,
What is pony camp?

By the way, I have been slightly confused by what seemed to be a greeting....Mae.

I looked it up...sinderin....a lanuage worked out by Tolkein.

Do you know that he is supposed to have got his inspiration for The Hobbit and Lord of the Ring from Hogsback, in the Amatole mountains, which is just up the road from where I now live in East London, E. Cape, SA?

That is kinda funny....MAE was started on the Abs thread, and I think it was by PPQ (was years ago so I may be wrong)

It stands for Morning, Afternoon and Evening.....we are all from different time zones , and it stuck!

[IamMary]

MAE - did not know that either!

Pony camp = horse riding all day
