Wohboy-Congrats on day 5! At day 5 I started feeling alot better. Have you been to the toolbox yet? It's in the monthly abstainers, first thread. There is lots of good stuff in there. On the first page there's an article on Urge Surfing and on the last page there's another one On Coping with Cravings. Those have really helped me.

The weather-we have been slammed with rain and 50 mph winds the last 2 days and today the temp dropped to below freezing so all that water can freeze. But we didn't get hit as bad as you folks in Texas. Glad to hear you ..er..weathered the storm.:H

Hey there--I am tempted

No, not by AL tonight, he does not live here now. Evicted. Kicked his sorry ass out. Worse--crawling around in the closet to get the suitcases and found a huge bag of Christmas chocolates forgotten about. Prettily wrapped and very festive, I might add. YUMMY. This one is a big fatty of almond covered in dark chocolate. Perhaps I might eat the whole bag myself????:H

Hubby out sporting with his Thursday night boys' club, usually my worst night but I am feeling good today. Plan to start the Antabuse tomorrow or Saturday (have to wait since I had wine Tuesday night).

Lilmea--we leave Saturday afternoon and should be sitting on the beach with Iced Tea by evening. Mmmm--I deserve this, I really do. Good food, warm weather, sun and surf, dancing and reading and hiking and relaxing. Feel free to be jealous---I always am at other people's vacations.

Wohboy--yay on 5 days.

Neuro--yep, understand the button pushing. My tactic is to "kill 'em with kindness." Seriously, I should win an Oscar for all the fake smiling and concern and friendliness I display.. Mostly it works. But even if it doesn't, it annoys the hell out of them :H

Alright--off to get busy. Hugs to all.

evenin' birdies....

how were your days? Jeston, welcome and all the best with your journey.
Tired and stiff neck and headache ...fireside and dinner in ready to go in the oven. This is my wine time and boy do I feel like I need/desrve it. I poured myself a glass of water with lemon in a big fat Riedel wine glass. I CAN RELAX WITHOUT WINE.
Looking forward to dinner and I bought some Edy's icecream for dessert. Something to look forward to. I know....i should cut down on sugar but.....eeegahd...i need something!
breath...breath...
I am going to focus on where I want to go...forget the obsticle....focus on the destination.
This is good. Thanks for listening.
Whats up for the evening? Any good plans?

Welcome ftrainer!:welcome:
Welcome jetson!::welcome:
SDL, Have a great trip to FLA! I will try not to be jealous.
RENEWAL, Oh boy! I sure hope your headache went away. Sleep usually can get rid of them. Glad you got the dental work behind you. Give yourself as many breaks as you can at work, you poor baby!
BETTY, thanks for tucking the poor boy in.
WITHIN, that's fantastic: 5 days!:goodjob:
Hi, Neuro! I love your signature line.
UNG, You sound great!
WOHBOY, I am not a mudder anymore. I was when I was a kid. I used to love a good mud pie! And big rains meant big boots and sloshing through the mud!
All is well here! I am off to work in a bit. I am finally over the stomach virus. It hung on pretty much all week. Up side is I lost 4 lbs! Down side is, Mr. Dill caught it.
Hope you all have a great day!
LIL, I bet you'll be jumping on here soon, so HELLO to you! Looks like our weather has finally calmed down. Are you a Housier?
SS, I seem to be missing you these days. So, a quick HELLO to you, too!

Morning peeps,

Welcome Jetson and trainer-:welcome: The nest is a comfy place so grab a twig.

Ung-Looks like you get the gummy worm today.

Dill-Actually, I was born in Ohio. We moved to Indiana when I was one. Moved back to Oh. when I was 16 and lived in OH for 25 yrs. I moved back to Indiana about 15 yrs ago. does that make me a bucksier?

SD-Yes I am jealous of your vacation. I'm jealous of both you and UNG! You both have a great time.

Betty-Thanks for taking such good care of poor Papa R.

Within-You've made it over the hump. It does get better. Really

Neuro-Just keep smiling. It will drive them nuts.

Jamie and LTG-How are my double dare buddies doing?

Wooo! Papa R is going to have to add a room addition when he gets better.

Papa R :getwell:

to everyone who follows have a great day.

Did you know that eagles mate for life?

Well, one day Harry the eagle waited at the nest for Mary, his darling of 10 glorious years. After a while when she didn't return, he went looking and found her. She had been shot.
Dead! Harry was devastated, but after about six minutes of mourning he decided that he must get himself another mate, but since there weren't any lady eagles available he'd
have to cross the feather barrier.

So he flew off to find a new mate. He found a lovely dove and brought her back to the nest. The sex was good but all the dove would say is 'I am a DOVE, I want to love! I am a DOVE, I want to love!' Well this got on Harry's nerves so he kicked the dove out of the nest and flew off once more to find a mate.

He soon found a very sexy loon and brought her back to the nest. Again the sex was good but all the loon would say is, 'I am a LOON, I want to spoon! I am a LOON, I want to spoon!' So out with the loon.

Once more he flew off to find a mate. This time he found a gorgeous duck and he brought the duck back to the nest. This time the sex was great, but all the duck would say was.....

'I am a DRAKE you made a MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!

Now, what were YOU thinking??? Hm??? :H

Anyways, thought this was fitting for the nest... have a great Friday, everyone!
