      [MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION], thank you for checking in, doll. We will be anxious to hear your doctor's report.:hug:
      [MENTION=17632]Mr Vervill[/MENTION], congratulations on your continued sobriety:yay:! So glad you are here with us.

      Pauly-hope you are taking care of yourself.

      Liz-I will pray that your boys stay safe on those ski hills. :-)

      Thanks everyone for your continued support regarding my mom.:love: She is moved in and very happy in her new facility. She told my sister she wishes she would have moved a long time ago! Her neighbor is lovely and there is a wonderful couple whose ministry is taking the very elderly to church every week. My mom is delighted. I am so relieved. I will be spending the weekend with her.

      Big hellos to everyone else. I have to run. Happy AF Saturday!

              Seriously, just lost a long post! I'm good, it snowed a lot last night and I must admit I am feeling accomplished, I shoveled! Binge watching The Crown. How was everyone's weekend?

                Hello everyone. Bird - sorry to hear about your friend. Liz - I've been thinking of you - glad you are doing well. Rusty - glad that your Mom's new place is nice. Glassie, Techie, Mr V - great to see you. Pauly - I do hope that today was a better day for you.

                Sorry that I haven't been posting much. I'm in a funky mood. Not much motivation to do anything at all. I try to log in to check in but haven't had anything to add. Hope it was a great weekend for everyone. Maybe I'll come back and blab after dinner. LOL

                  [MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION]-so sorry to hear about your friend.:hug: He was lucky to have a friend like you!

                  Nora:heartbeat:Sorry you are in a funk and I hope it lifts soon! I always like it when you "chat" with us after dinner. :-)

                  Liz-I would feel accomplished if I shoveled, too! Don't you hate it when you lose a long post? GRRRRRR

                  AG-Check in, please!

                  I am at home today but have lots of paperwork to do. I don't care...I am just so happy!!

                      Liz, just remember to check the “Remember Me” box as you log in, it helps cure a lot of lost posts, etc
                      Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
                      Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
                      Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.

                        I'm sorry you're in a funk, lovely Nora. You do an awful lot of caring for others and sometimes that tank just gets empty! How are you going with all the things you had shipped from Oregon? Is that perhaps not helping?

                        Pauly - same goes for you too, sweetie. This is for you, hope you can see it:

                        Rusty I'm so glad to hear you so happy. It must be a real weight off your mind to know your Mom is OK.

                        Liz - how is adorable baby Logan? HRH is currently being potty trained, so I get to share in the excitement when she has a success! YAY me! LOL

                        Hugs to everyone else.

                          Good Morning!

                          Glassie-thank you for starting off our day with an inspirational quote.:heartbeat: So thoughtful of you. I am home today but I have a lot to do so this will be a quick pop in to say HELLOOOO!!!

                          I posted this on the Army Thread just now and I wanted to post it here as well...to all you lovely people who kept me going when I was so sad about my mom:

                          I just wanted to thank you again for your support regarding my Mom moving into an assisted-living facility. I am delighted to report to you that she loves her new little apartment, the people are SO nice, and she wishes she had done this 2 years ago (when my sister encouraged her to do so). I have visited her twice and it is the best place for her as her condition continues to decline. Your support mean SO much to me. Several of you sent me lovely PMs and I am very grateful.

                          Even though I've been sober a good while, I still need to work on myself. Even though I try hard, I still tend to project a negative outcome when there is a major change or something challenging in my life. I must avoid this at all costs. It was a huge trigger for my drinking.

                          Thanks for letting me share my thoughts here
                          Hope you are all having a lovely day!

                          [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION]-I took my mom to church on Sunday. I had never been to this church and is it ever beautiful! It's really light and bright with beautiful stained glass windows and comfortable pews:yay:


                          Liz-this is what I do when I don't want to lose a post...especially a long one: I highlight the text and right click on COPY and then I paste it when I am ready. Sometimes I just paste it to a blank Word document in case the MWO system times me out. That happens to me because I talk a lot!! HAHAHAAH!!

                          Big hugs to Nora and [MENTION=17650]paulywogg[/MENTION]. Pauly, don't give up on yourself. I will send you an email later, OK?

                          Much love to you all,

                          Rusty

                            Hey [MENTION=1214]Rusty[/MENTION], I'm so glad your mom's transition to assisted living has gone as well as it has! And how special to be able to got to Mass together. That must've made her feel b How far is the church from her new digs? How far is it from you?

                            [MENTION=19302]Lizann[/MENTION], I'm not sure how you lost your long post, but I know how frustrating that is because it has happened to me in the past! But I was wondering if you have ever noticed the "auto restore content" button that appears at the lower left corner of the text box when you leave the page and then come back to it? The content of your message is gone, but that button at the bottom appears. In fact, I have even logged off and logged back on and when I returned to the textbox, that button is there and it works! Click on it and voila! I'm not sure if that will help you or not, but it has saved me a time or two!

                            [MENTION=9757]NoraC[/MENTION], it sounds like you need some sunshine or a change of scene. Here is something to cheer you up:

                            Had a great weekend with the grandkids. A visit with long lost family members on Sunday, then a lazy day at our pond yesterday. Mr. D caught a bass and cleaned it for the grandson to take home and share with his dad. Good times!

                            Greetings to all Techie, Glassie, bird< Mr. V, Pauly, and all the fine folks who post here on this wonderful thread!

                            Dont forget, you can: start late, start over, be unsure, try and fail AND STILL SUCCEED!

                            If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

                              Hi all,
                              So I drank again. Now I am on day 2. I found my antabuse but it is expired. Not sure if that matters. Maybe I can get some more soon. ..I am excited about this weekend. I am goiing to see my DD's who are away at college. One of them is in a play so that is always fun....so I got a call and my friend left me his house in his will. That is nice, since I rent and live in a ramshackle trailer. Not sure how long all the legal stuff takes....Lizann, I wish it would snow here. It is hot and the mosquitoes are sooo bad.....Nora, hope you are feeling better. Sometimes it is hard to find stuff to post about....Rusty, glad you are very happy.....dill, good to know about the auto restore. Glad you had a good weekend....b

                                Bird - really nice that he left you the house. That's special.
                                Have a great day 3

                                The only thing keeping me from drinking is I can't stand another Day 1
