I just realized that I missed Molly & Rusty. Hi there. Hope that you have a wonderful time tomorrow Molly.
How are you doing Rusty?

@Hippy Chick- I'm glad you resisted having A on your birthday. That took some real strength!:cheering:

@Mama Bear- I'll send those chocolate slugs along to Mrs. Fennel, although I doubt she'll be able to stomach them! :H

Nora, I'm here! At least until Mrs. Fennel rustles up some supper...

Happy Sunday, Nestlings!

Wow, it has been quiet in here today! Usually, there are about 6 pages to catch up by the end of he day

Lav - good to 'see' you - take Rusty's advice... I've never tried it but a vet actually recommended the same for one of my other dogs.

Nora, hope you're enjoying and chillaxin' this fine Sunday.

Fennel! Yay.. you're back! Sounds like you had a fantastic time! Even while having to fight off the HH wildlife :H Poor Mrs. Fennel.

Hi Molly and congrats on the reno! You must be soooo relieved! Have fun tomorrow with family and other gaukers!

Hello to MamaBear, Hipster, Tranq, Running, Ringing, Katie, Chook, and whoever else pops in tonight. I'm still feeling like crap and will probably numb my mind and pain watching TV for a bit Chirp at you in the morning!

This time difference is starting to be a real problem!

Glad to see you back Molly. Hope you have fun showing off your new kitchen.

Am realising my "tough love" approach with some people doesnt do anything but offend them so have to work on being a bit more gentle. It's hard when you are trying to express an opinion or offer support in a post thru the internet. It doesnt always come out as it is meant to as you cant see or feel the emotion and caring behind the words. Even in my physical life, I think I am abit the same.
My mission here is to offer help and support for those who are struggling as I was helped when I first came here. That's all. I'm not here to brag that I am AF. I am truly amazed that I am AF, I struggled for years to moderate with no success, so to be completely alcohol free is so astounding for me.
Anyway I will get off my soap box. I just wanted to say that as I have had the feeling that I may upset some with my directness. I hope that is not the case and it is just my paranoia once again rearing it's' ugly head.
Take care.

Quiet here today............

Nothing happening in my world - really - I just took a nap!
I'm watching my son's goofy goldens this weekend & they keep me awake half the night pacing the hallway. They need some doggie downers, I swear.

Love your picture Nora

Wishing everyone a good rest of the day in the Nest

Lav, I don't know how old you are, but do you remember the old Saturday Night Live shows from the 70's?...specifically, the commercial for "Puppy Uppers and Doggy Downers"...LOL! That show hasn't been as funny since, I swear.

Hippy...you have not offended me.....ever...but that's hard to do
I spent the day at our lake mowing and trimming and weedeating and lying on the dock in the sun.
Great day....but now I am tired and sunburned....

Hippy - what's going on?

@Sunshine_gg...Mrs. Fennel survived her vacation, thank goodness! There was no end to vermin to hinder her happiness, but I was there to protect her. Even the most harmless of spiders is a threat to her. I love spiders. I wonder how she got this way?

Hippy, I haven't detected that you've offended anybody (although I'm rather thick in that area, admittedly). I find it admirable that you've been able to remain A free, especially in the event of your b-day. I greatly respect you for it. :l

I would like to say that I find your avatar extremely attractive. Wisconsin is the dairy state here in the U.S., and all my relatives are dairy farmers. Cows are creatures of extreme beauty hereabouts!

Popping in to say goodnight and make a statement or two

Fennel - I'm 56! I believe I've seen every episode of SNL - it was the best show ever

Hippy - I must have blinked & missed something. Don't ever feel bad about giving a straightforward, honest opinion. God knows I do it all the time. As long as we are talking to each other with love & concern - there is no problem, really!

OK, wishing everyone a good night, good day or whatever.........
Be safe in the Nest!

Hippy I see where you are coming from, gold was trying to help me in the chat room last night and I showed very bad etiquette and left without saying anything, he/she was just telling me what I didn't want to hear.
I like your posts hippy, I didn't see anything that may have offended anyone, but if it did then it's them who are not ready to hear it - bit like what I was last night.

[Hippy Chick]

Newbies Nest

Thanks for your responses guys. I'm just overly sensitive at the moment.

Katie - I am pleased you got the flat. New start for you.
Fennel - cows are creatures of extreme beauty - they taste bloody good too..... Better than ferel cats!
Hey Tranq - McIlroy did well, didnt he? Teaching those older players a thing or two.
Mama - how much land do you have? Your own lake?? OMG.....

Hope everyone is having a good night.
See you tomorrow.
