Re: International Army September 2020

Great minds think alike, Mollls.
Was just checking to see how our Tony is too.

I'm allergic to crab and lobster so a tad green with envy...........not the kind of breaking out in a rash kind and gasping for air type of allergic just hideous migraines. I love them as well so have tried it again and again just in case I've grown out of it............mebbees on my 100th birthday

Re: International Army September 2020

You can wave at my folks in Kinsale Molly. They are with my mams sisters, they all look alike..
Is it just shellfish that triggers migraines [MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION], or are you prone to them anyway?

Great to see you back posting [MENTION=23019]tonyniceday[/MENTION]. Its a tricky day number 2, hoping you are sleeping it off right now.

Great news [MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION] :hug: How are you doing?
[MENTION=22839]brit[/MENTION], thinking about you. Might you get in tomorrow? Good sign that hes out of intensive care.

Bridge, that cracked me up. Especially Darth Vader :welldone: They are insane.
we are very boring. At most, someone might leave forget to mute, which is usually me, roaring at the kids. They still slag me over the 'why are you climbing in the window' 'because your on a call and wont answer the door' incident. Darth Vader wins hands down.

Rustop - watching Borgen, its Danish (but you can cheat and turn on dubbing - its a thing on netflix for loads of the 'foreign' stuff). Politics, media... all good stuff.

Re: International Army September 2020

Bridge - I sat here and laughed out loud at your zoom calls.

Techie - wonderful news about your mom. :heartbeat:

Brit - I'm thinking of you.

Pauly - those Vegas rules are crazy. I thought things were crazy here.

JC - I think you might be right about pulling the laws out of a hat.

Thanks for all the support. Mom still with us. Fading but still hanging on.

Hey Molly, JC and Mary, I cant believe I'm saying this on day 3, but I had a good night, I slept for 5 straight hours. I'm planning on at least starting the desperately needed blitz of the flat today... kitchen and general removal of empties may come first. We'll see.

Good morning Army!!

This made me smile Tony. So glad you had a decent night. It makes it so much easier.

Windy day here in Stirly World but a beautiful sunny day. 26C at the moment - going up to 30 by mid-day. Cool wind. Perfect.

Wishing you all a refreshing day!!


[MENTION=9757]NoraC[/MENTION] - I'm sure your Mom is comfortable. Hope you are coping ok. So good that you can be with her at this time. Sending you :hug:
[MENTION=22839]brit[/MENTION] - hope Mr. A is improving. Don't forget to do something for you. :hug: to you as well.

Oh yes...I so remember the 'power' of cleaning out the empties..it was a powerful statement of intent for me..so go for it!!! Next danger stage may be 'oh I'm feeling grand...only a few days of feeling shit...I could have a few for a while and then just quit again'
Each quit gets harder and harder .and more dangerous ..so don't fall into that mind trap...alcohol is termed 'cunning baffling and powerful' for a reason! Know your enemy!!
But you are doing brilliantly Tony...now just keep that motivation going..it gets easier and easier with time...until one day.....soon...it won't be your first....or second thought...in jig time it'll hardly be a thought at all and you'll have reclaimed your life!!!

All that on a phone!! Morning all xx

Re: International Army September 2020

[MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION].............I get the odd migraine now and again but after crab or lobster it comes on in minutes and yet I used to risk it...............bit like getting a few months sober and starting to drink again and expecting a different outcome.............and we know that doesn't work either.

Re: International Army September 2020

Oh Brit, :hug::hug: am so so sorry. Hope you have your daughter with you. Wish there was more we could do. Sending you virtual hugs. Both you and Nora. Vent here if you feel like it and try and take care of yourselves.

Delighted you got through last night Tony, you don’t want to revisit the last few days. Might be no harm to print off exactly what you felt like to remind you if any crazy thoughts seep back.

Thanks for the laughs Bridget and Mary
