Morning,
Nice one, Satz :welldone:

Geez,Starty, I'm going to have to put revolving doors on the sick bay.

Waves to Rustyredlocks.

[Guitarista]

I feel boob first on my water bottle

Ample cushioning no doubt saved the day. :whip:

:horse:

[IamMary]

Good morning pals :heartbeat:

Well said Molly. Are your energy levels ok again?
Ah Starty, that probably gave you a fright! I did it on gravel a few months ago and felt v sorry for myself.. Trip away makes up for it though.

Morning everyone.. Bit stiff today (ran part of the marathon with sister).. Amazing to watch people, so many in their 60s and 70s, maybe more. One guy ran it blindfolded (for pieta house), but it was all the people lining the streets with arms stretched out with food and drink that sort of blew me away. Think I have an itch.

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

Morning all.

That is always helpful

Is Mrs Tabbers supporting your quit? Mr S did my first 6 weeks with me and that made a HUGE difference. He is now drinnking much less which is great

Yeah she is a sweetheart. Hardly drinks herself which is a help.

HERE !!! Wot about my speech ??????????????????????????? :rant:

[IamMary]

My wifi has been playing up on me all morning, every second post is getting lost:biglaugh:

If I hear any more talk of bullies or 'gangs' here I'll scream.
We are all adults here and not 10 year olds in the schoolyard.
We can disagree on topics - without argument.
We are free to engage in a discussion if we want - or not engage.
We are not answerable to anyone else.

GROW UP !!

Brilliantly written as always Satz!! You ROCK sense. :happy2:

Satz a brilliant speech....it belongs in the halls of speech along with Lincolns Gettysberg address ,Kennedys Berlin speech,M Luther King, Einstein and his theory of relativity,Newtons laws of gravity,Human Rights act articles 2,4,8 9,10,14....

can I quote you on your last point about being answerable??

I do agree with you without question...just one point tho...the power of the internet does not include emotives in the way we write, its black and white...now Im not talking about the keyboard warriors who are happy to start an argument in an empty room,, but sometime messages can be misconstrued...one piece of advice I got yonks ago was ...before you send something ..stop think read and ask yourself ..how would you feel to get that message?would love to say I stuck to that but.....

Dear Satz,
I agree with you that we should all be behaving like adults on this forum and not like "ten year olds in the school yard."
That's why I take issue with Rusty calling a person a "miserable, pathetic creature", saying that she shouldn't be called a HER but an IT, thereby denying a person their personhood; and saying that the "creature" is "most obviously drinking", when she doesn't know whether this is true or not.
This is plain, pure bullying -I don't know what else you'd call it!

The older folk are amazing. Always gives me loads of inspiration to carry on and stop whinging about me aches and pains.

Same with email. I find that the written word can come across very different than if you can see body language etc. That is why I like emoticons they can sometimes help

Evening. I think a Trick or Treater's just rung the doorbell................can't be sure as the dog was barking so loudly at the window I expect they've run a mile.

[satz123]

Evening : had a great day.
Went for drive to Dublin Mountains - hiked for feckin' miles.
Stopped in lovely place for grub then into Cinema to see this.
It was BRILLIANT.
Jacks - set in Newcastle. Just so real & raw. I cried.

Dunno who you are Slo - so will not comment to someone hiding behind a pseudonym.
I will say : don't bring squabbles from other threads to the Army please - we don't care - we are here to support those genuinely trying to kick alcohol ...........

[Slo]

I'm not hiding behind a pseudonym any more than anybody else is at MWO! I mean, I'm not going to use my real name -but it is my real initials.

I'm not bringing a squabble over from another thread! Rusty said that right here in the Army.
And it was mean-spirited and not supportive.
