Morning all.

I'm leaving it loose this morning. I like the way yesterday's thread got focussed on three legged dogs. There really must be a lot of them out there. Haven't got any here that I know of.

Anyway, hope you're all having a good weekend. Counselling girlfriend with wine was good but moderation plan went out the window. Tonight I am being taxi so that is me sorted for an AF night.

Went to put little orphan chick in with broody hen last night and she nearly had my hand off!! So I guess that's a no then. And I guess that's us hand rearing it too on its own. Might see if I can get a couple of other young ones to keep it company.

Have a good day all you lovely ODATers.

Morning...

I have been lining up things for fishing in Vermont. How to purchace a licence, what kind of flies to use, what is in season, etc. Phew. It's as much work as the flight and auto. Now I'm trying to ward off the nervous feeling of fishing totally on my own. I can be a bit needy with hubby. However I shall look at it as a growing experience and hope I don't drown or even worse, pee in my waders. :H Here I usually just wear shorts & boots and I'm the one with bleeding shins and people look at my banged up legs later and say "oh, you've been fishing?"

So anyway, have to go to the hole today after a bowl of this wierd raisin bran hubby got in which the raisins look like fat ticks. I'll do it with eyes closed. And move along. I'll make some sun tea and hope for the best. Have a movie and sparkling water that needs some juice to splash in it.

Best to all to come.

Morning Bessie and all that follow. Bessie, thanks for always starting a great thread.
My AF day went by the wayside yesterday. I worked outside gardening all day and thought I 'deserved' a glass of wine but that turned into 3. Didn't get trashed but I know if it weren't for this place I would have. No hangover this a.m. so that is spectacular. I have a plan to not drink today. Happy Sunday and Holiday!

Love and Peace

Greeneyes you could check out The Official Vermont Tourism Site - VermontVacation.com for fishing information.

Best to you!

Did my boot camp class yesterday. Hiked up hill for 3.5 miles. It was raining a little which was great since it kept me cool, but I did it!!! I can't tell you what an achievement that was for me. This class has changed my life. I love being outdoors, I'm getting fit and staying away from AL. When I came off the mountains the last thing I thought about doing was having some wine!
I'm having my husband friends ( mostly work related ) over for a barbeque although don't know how I'm going to managed that because its suppose to rain. I guess I'll have to bring the barbeque in the living room! We've had such extreme weather in the last week. Last week was unbearably hot and this week the heat has been on in the house. Go figure?! Anyway, I hope to stay AF tonight. Temptation will be everywhere!

Hi Everyone...

I managed to work through the day and remain AF yesterday. There wasn't any real beer in the house otherwise I think I would have went to the garage and slammed a bunch down in secret. The triggers the weekend at the lake house are all over the place! I guess it is a good test for me but it also hasn't been the easiest.

Heading to my brothers lake cabin to BBQ this afternoon with his family and the parents. It will be pretty low key and I am bringing AF beer to drink.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi Guys

Three Legged Dogs - really strange you should mention this but on Friday evening I saw a three legged Jack Russell which had some kind of wheeled contraption for it's back leg (one missing...). Never seen anything like it before!

Weekend quiet, wet, etc managed to moderate last night - 2 glasses wine = no hangover this morning.

Hope you all have a good one!

Good Morning ONADers

Ripple -- wow, so you are in Bulgaria, as in the country Bulgaria? And you speak English so well!

Oh man Case, you are really working hard at it. Just stay with it and it will go away, I promise. I am on day 14, two whole weeks. I think you are too? And Frogzter is on 15 I hope. I feel happy about it and have started to do long neglected chores -- there are so many of them.

I am spending Memorial Day at my cottage at the ocean in Delaware (Rehoboth) Nice town and definitely a big trigger. But this time OK (pray please). Last night went out to dinner and friend had wine. Must say I wished for a glass, (then five of course) But stayed with my club soda and lime. It was not too bad.

So love to you all. Hi Florida and Greeneyes, RN, Greenhouse and of course the Diva of ODATers Bessie and all to follow. Have a wonderful day. :thanks: for 15 wonderful AF days!!! Hope I never go back.

Thanks greenhouse, for the link

Rippy, you mean brooks like streams or creeks? Or do you mean only brook trout? I was told the river had a lot of cover so I'm bringing a short rod. And another for the bass possibilities.

Hi All..
New to posting on this thread but have read it many times....Thanx Bessie for doing this ...It is always pleasant to read and now to take part in. Friday night was Ladies Night for a group of us and all went well....Some of these women do drink a bit but it is never the focus of us getting together.....We did a chick flick and actually went for a drink after....(I am most uncomfortable in a bar environment especially now that I am single (Again!!!) I knew ahead of time that I would have to be carefull. I had a really long road ride (I am a cyclist) and was a little tired so I knew that the beer would taste real good.....Good news is I had one pint and then went home. Had a few beers there which I knew was the plan and all was good. Got up and did 80K the next day and felt fairly good. I figured out in the last couple of years that I have kind of a social anxiety.....I know the reasons and now just have to really watch for the triggers........Plan to join this thread more often.....Hope everyone has a great day!!!!

:thanks:
Sandra
