Jacks....ooohhh......Labs....we had black labs ONLY for years in our homes....generations of them. I want a Black Lab puppy SO badly I could TASTE it. I just travel too much now. They love you unconditionally...their bionic tails wag when they see you...they'll lick all the make-up off your face if you let them. I let them. SIGH.

I think of Dreamy a lot. She was delightful. :-)

Labradors are two separate animals..............body and tail. Can hear a block of cheese being opened within a 10 mile radius.
We've had two............a golden and Bess, the black one.

Sorry - we got Sky Cinema & I binged on 2 movies......

Jacks : Typed it and then discovered the 'ol biddies wanted it hand-written - FFS.......I've forgotten how to write.
Questy I'm 'studying' English & Greek Classics at the very impressive Maynooth University.
It is a 'Return to Learning' course that includes these subjects and counts towards a degree course next year should I decide to go on.

[questeroo]

Good morning Army ! Another Friday is upon us, its cold and dark and horrible. I'm off to the workhouse so I'll see you all later. Hope you are all well x

[starty]

Morning all. Whats the post Molls?

Questy what are your plans for the weekend? Gonna stick on the sober train with us?

[JackieClaire]

Morning loverlies,
Off to meet a mature student who's doing his thesis/dissertation on drug and alcohol services and their users. He's 6'2" and got dreadlocks.............you may never see me again

And as Satz is mad about penguins thought she'd like this.

Ahh Mick,love,most of the threads if not all go throw the doldrums form time to time.

[stirly-girly]

Hiya Troopers. Dropped by a while ago to say Hi! but wanted to answer Pauly's post on the quit thread and two hours later, I finally managed to get my post finished. When I say this place is a madhouse, I'm not kidding! Anyway, just wanted to wish you all a fabulous Friday and and a great Sober Weekend. Will drop by if I get the chance. A wee thought for those who are still struggling a bit. Whatever you do, wherever you go, doing it sober is so much better!! Have a great one Army!!

[Roadside]

Jackie, that 6'2'' dreadlocker sounds like a gentle giant to me! That sounds like an interesting presentation.

Mollyka, just hearing about the dawn in your area helps brighten the gloominess. Admittedly, yesterday was gloomy in my part of the world but we are supposed to have clear skies today
:thumbsup:

Good day to you, Army.

Afternoon army people..
Everyone sounds perky and ready for the weekend. Molly, don't let said poster take chanrge of your mood, mad people everywhere, as long as their error was picked up and corrected?

Sitting in the hairdressers (tough life :happy2. Black tie event tonight.
Right I'm at the stage that I'm quite comfortable not drinking, well I think I am, but can't get complacent I know. However i have turned into a sneaky non drinker! This is now more difficult as MrM is also a non drinker (and as great as this is, it messes up my little routines).
We have no explication although Satz's suggestion to the year with no beer is good. I know it's no ones business and why should I care, but people are different around non drinkers, they treat them with suspicion or something. I know I did - I couldn't get my head around a person not wanted to get hammered.

[starty]

Evening all. Thank F*ck it is Friday!

Mary how will Mr M cope with a sober outing?

We have Mr S graduation do next Friday. I bet he will drink for that.

[JackieClaire]

What's he graduating from?

Think I may have found a new friend. He's a lovely young man, 35, ex -heroin, ex-cocaine,ex-pot, ex-Tramadol addict. Clean and sober for over 5 years doing journalism at Uni. Actually I might adopt him.
