Congratulations on your sale, Byrdie! I guess you do have responsibilities other than keeping members of the Nest in line.... Enjoy your evening!

Hey, I finally sold something!! This week is our year end and a nice order I'd been hoping for came thru! It took a lot of work and intense concentration to put together...I honestly don't think I could have done it if I hadn't gotten my act together. If you are feeling scattered, smothered and covered, take heart, your head clears out and you will feel sharper than ever!! It takes a little time, but it does happen!

Have a great evening all, I'm going to knock off a few minutes early and take a bubble bath! (much different ways to celebrate now!) Byrdie

Byrdie! I am so proud of you!

I have seen it all. A ceramic tiger cub on his back paws wrapped around a wine bottle like a baby nursing. Who thinks of these things? Yes a new job today. Another drinking house. It is what it is.
Good going Byrdie.
Mr. V glad to hear from you.
Great for you Dave. Good luck on that job.
Dottie you found great.
Jen and Ican hang in there. You'll get it.
I'll check in again later. Off to my night job.

Good evening Nesters!

I'm here Dottie, just had a busy day :H
My daughter & granddaughter came for an unexpected visit, it was nice

Congrats on the job Gambler Dave!

Byrdie, good for you kicking ass at your job too!!

LB, do you actually have to clean around all the dumb drinking crap? Hope you can just ignore it all.

Greetings to everyone & sending wishes for a safe night in the nest for all

Yes Lav I do clean it. Sometimes dusting the al bottles. I do ignore it. I never drank at work anyway and these days seeing people sick and dying from al really puts me off it.

Hi all,


I just want to thank everyone for your encouraging posts. I don't get on here as often as I should but you all are in my mind cheering me on most of the time. I think I have OCD pretty bad, so I need to develop healthy habits to keep my mind busy. Alcohol just numbed my thoughts. Put me to sleep. I do need to work on my gratitude list. Also, I will look into the book alcohol lied to me. Not sure if this is a good thing but I discovered the Hay Day app and I'm kind of addicted to it now. I finally made a million! LOL. If you have an addictive personality, I highly suggest you stay away from this game. It's driving my daughters nuts...good night all and thanks again for helping me

Hi Minstar.... I heard about breaking bad a few months ago. Tuned in on netflix and enjoyed the first season. ( I like the guy from Malcom in the Middle ) But half way through the second season I kinda lost interest. I might continue if its as good as everyone else says it is .. ?

Well thank you for giving me my intro for today..

I was just doing a few things .. Like..Searched and Got a job...Then I got a car title transferred after that I got an oil change for my car followed up with going to the auto store to replace my air filter,test my alternator and battery then off to spend 30 min with me boys in which the joy brought me back home where I organized all my camping gear ( I have a TON of gear )...I think I popped in here somewere...*deep breath* ..after the gear consolidation I proceeded with breaking apart the unused waterbed frame in the other room which made me anxious to vacuum the carpet underneath so I just continued to vac the whole house lol .. so then I felt like a break with some tasty chocolate milk leaving me to realize that the handles on the fridge are really on the wrong side thus making me breaking out some tools and taking on the adventurous task of switching said appliance handles to there appropriate and most efficient positions. ... so here I am ..and i think its time for a Bubble Bath !!

Thank you for the congratulatory post.
Ive been searching the MWO newbs handbook and I cant find exactly what she sells.. Please someone tell me because all I can come up with is those cool little plastic water filled birds that you blow on and they kinda burble chirp like .. I know she didnt just sell a few thousand of those pleasure makers...so .. ?
Oh..oh.. and its not "Gambler Dave".. its Gambler when I feel like shit and Dave when Im .. well like this..feeling good lol. But You can call me Gambler Dave anytime you like Lav.


What a fabulous day all ! In closing I would like to tell you that everyone that I came in contact with today enjoyed my company. We laughed and had a good time. Like I was giving off that Vibe .. you know..the one people like to be around. Made me feel so alive. Its amazing how much I have changed in such a short time being AF. I hope the same for those that are emerging into your new lives.

Enjoy the rest of your evening and remember to make fun of yourselves from time to time :-)

Well, I got off early today, 10:30 pm (lol, I start at 9am) so I thought I'd check in. Congrats on the sale, Byrdie! I know you work it hard every day, just like fighting the beast. You are an inspiration. I'd give you the bonus if I had the cash, lol.

Lb congrats on a new job, and hanging in there, you too, bring it every day, both personally and professionally. I not sure about that ceramic tiger thing, weird.

Ican, glad to see you're still fighting the battle, as Byrdie, and K9 say, one day it will click. I'm in the same boat as you, and yes, at a point it just becomes NO FUN anymore. We'll get there.

Dottie, Rooni, Piper, Wine-no, Jenniech, hang tough!

Lav, as always, thanks for the steady support!

Gambler, with a cap G, Nice to make your acquaintance. Congrats on the new (possible) job. Wishing you the best. I missed when you joined the nest, but from what I can discern over the past two days, you're a single dad with two boys? Fill me in, if it doesn't bore the rest of the group. Seems like those kids need the positive example you're trying so hard to supply. I'm proud of you for realizing this.

Sam, BH, LB, Thanks for thinking of me, means a lot.

morning nesters. Mr V, that's you getting away early???

Just drinking my coffee here and thinking about the day ahead. It's still pitch black here, usually the sky is starting to lighten by now. I had a wonderful sleep and I'm more than ready for Wednesday. I Hope everyone has a great day
