Thanks!

My plan for today is to carry on. I am happy that I have to work this afternoon, and evening, so I know I won't drink. I will come home from work and hop into bed. Tomorrow I work during the day so the evening will be more difficult to manage---then I am off until Monday, that will be very difficult, but I think I will just worry about today for now. Get through that first.....

Nurdl, my heart goes out to everyone out there. I was just at the East coast for a vacation with my husband this summer and loved it. I have seen photos of the devistation and it's tragic.

Phin, that sounds like a great plan for today- you are lucky to have work to keep you busy. Maybe, like Lola suggested, you will have time before tomorrow evening to take a peak at the toolbox. Also, you are right in just worrying about it one day at a time. Please keep reading and posting because there are so many of us here who understand what you are going thru and are ready to help!

Thanks EVERYONE for putting the spirits in my birthday!! 3 years ago, I was drunk as an owl...and we ran out of Halloween candy. My neighbor brought over a birhtday cake that afternoon... so I took that to the door and offered it to the Trick R Treaters...(. ) I am so happy I'm not there today! I really appreciate the good wishes! Your Ghoulfriend, Byrdie

BYRDIE! BYRDIE ! BYRDIE!

Three times a charm and that's excactly what you are! Even with my slips I couldn't have made it to five months without you.

You make me feel so much better about myself and as anyone will tell you, that's no small feat!

Love to you on your special-special- special day!

Hugs and Heart My Friend!

Day 45 in the Big Sobersyberian House

Day 45. It's that night of the year. When stupid people venture out on stormy nights in cars built circa 1982 that really cannot weather being out in anything more than a pathetic pitter of gentle rain drops.

Dr Head and Trigger are such people. Sure, you thought Dr Head was smart. No, not smart. Conniving, but not smart. Brainy, but not smart. Dr Head and Trigger drove to the shops for "refreshments" as the last of Sandy howled overhead. Bu the time they had returned to the Big Sober House, things had changed dramatically.

The house looked crooked. There was the bone-shattering shriek of rusty metal scraping against rusty metal. Lights in the house flickered. Shadows seemed to glimpse in and out of shutters nd trees and posts and other things like shutters and trees and posts. It all seemed a little too eerie.

TRIGGER: I'm scared 'Ead.

DR HEAD: Shut it. It's fine. It's just your imagination. Now, come on. We've got to deliver this booze to Byrdlady. It's a perfect opportunity to get into the house.

TRIGGER: Remind me why Byrdlady will let us in considering she is some wise ol' Byrdie that helps all the other nesters from drinking. Why would she be willed by a drink?

DR HEAD: Because...

TRIGGER: Because...?

DR HEAD: Because...

TRIGGER: Cos...?

DR HEAD: Because, moi dear little Twigger. It's 'er birfday.

TRIGGER: OOooooooh. Oi see.

DR HEAD: Now, let's go ring the door bell...

They get out the car into the pouring rain. They hurriedly make their way to the front door of the house. There's a massive knocker on the door. And a sign:


If you're here for "lunch" please use the rear entrance. No pun intended.


TRIGGER: Wot's that mean?

DR HEAD: Dunno. Maybe they give lunch to poor folks or summit. Ring the bell.

Trigger rings the bell.

Nothing.

DR HEAD: Ring it again.

Trigger rings the bell again.

Nothing

DR HEAD: Again -

The door opens.

Music is heard. Something a little like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc80tFJpTuo[/video]]TRHPS "Sweet Transvestite" - YouTube

Byrdlady stands there, welcoming them in....

BYRDIE: How d'you do, I see you've met my faithful bunch
They?re just a little brought down because when you knocked
They thought you were some special birthday ?lunch?...
Don't get strung out by the way that I look,
Don't judge a book by its cover
I maybe Byrdlady by the light of day,
But by night I'm one hell of a lover

I'm just a Sweet Sobervestite from Sobersexual, Sobersylvania.

So let me show you around, maybe play you a sound
You look like you're both pretty groovy
Or if you want something visual that's not too abysmal
We could take in a brand new sobersexual K9 movie.

DR HEAD: I'm glad we caught you at home, could we use your phone?
TRIGGER: We're both in a bit of a hurry.
DR HEAD: We'll just say where we are, then go back to the car
TRIGGER: We don't want to be any worry.

BYRDIE: So you got caught with a flat, well, how about that?
Well babies, don't you panic.
By the light of the night when it all seems alright
I'll get you a satanic mechanic.

I'm just a Sweet Sobervestite from Sobersexual, Sobersylvania.

So why don't you stay for the night? Or maybe a drink?
I could show you my favourite obsession.
I've been making a ?cock-tail? with fruit and fizz
And it?s good for relieving my tension

I'm just a Sweet Sobervestite from Sobersexual, Sobersylvania.

So come up to the bar. And see what's in my jars...
I see you shiver with antici... pation!
But maybe the booze isn't really to blame
So I'll remove the cause, but not the symptom.

The music ends. Byrdie takes Dr Head and Trigger upstairs...

To be continued...

Oh Yall! Thank you so much!!! I feel like a queen today....it has indeed been a special day! It seems that I've suddenly become a porn star on top of it all....I can't wait to see what I do next! And now with the rhyming, I wonder about timing!!! You are killing us!
Fin, I really appreciate that tune...I don't know why that makes me emotional. You are a very special one, for sure.

Be safe and happy, Hallo-Weiners!!! My sincere thanks for making this such a great (AF) day!! love, B
