Hi All,

Haven't been around for sometime, I have been doing the MYO propram it working well for me, I have not kept total sober I am it has been over a month now I drink a least twice a week but I must say life is good I have my life back. I do all the thing I us to. I'm up in the mornings working out and doing so may things I love it. But I do need to stay grounded so I decided I should stay in touch with you nesters . I would really like to work on AF for a while and I need some support for that. I don't think I can do that alone.


Have a great Evening everyone!!
Ig

Ahh.. welcome back Island Girlie! Yep, know that feeling of doing quite well, but not quite as well as I want to! Hop on up here on a twig and grab a seat belt.

Well, had the dreaded physical this afternoon. I'll live! That's the good news. But the doc does want to cut out some skin stuff and send it off for biopsy. See? We were just talking about stuff growing and appearing where there had been NONE before. Hrmpfh. This getting old crap sucks.

And now, I will change into my grungies again and do battle with the horses. Wish me luck!

Hello nestlings..
Congrats on your three-thousandth post, Lav! Glad you're feeling better, RW...Nice to see you again, Island Girlie. Mama, I wish you hadn't shaved - you, Nora and I could have had a contest. Sounds like Nora would win hands down, however!

I spent a lifetime on the phone with AT&T today. They are completely flummoxed. They do acknowledge that they are the issue here. After three levels of assistance (which included a fascinating remote takeover of my computer) they informed me that they have no idea why I can't access this site and they will call me back in a couple of days.

So, that's the latest. I'm still typing from my phone. I'll continue to try and figure this out. Wish me luck!

Hope your physical went well, Sunshine...your Kitty keeps scratching at the taco truck door. There's no way I'm letting her in here!

Oh Sunni - I'm so sorry. I hate those things. I'm sending good thoughts to you. :l When is your hysterectomy scheduled?

Welcome back Island Girlie! Glad to have you back in the nest.

Mama - you were already beautiful!!!!

Running - Glad that you saw some sun today. Hope it keeps getting brighter.

Coco - Keep on keeping.

Fennel - I have been waiting all day for your problem to be fixed. AAARRRGGGGGHHHHH. It was bad enough when you were on vacation. But, I really must put my foot down now. AT&T FIX IT!!!!

Lav - So glad to have you here to keep us all going. You are so important here. I hope that your own nest will be happy again soon. :l

To everyone else, I might be back later. I'm going to be reading for a bit. Will try to check in later. I just got 'turtle dropped' a great book.

Catch you all later.

HippyC - "Write a list (plan) to help us live AF (goal)... and the goal can list the results of living AF, like waking up with no hangover, going to sleep sober... Just little things that we sometime forget and need reminding of."

-- I like this idea Hippy. I think one of the good things about the list is reminding ourselves about our successes, no matter how small they are. I think it is important to recognize the good all the time - kind of like getting a snowball rolling downhill - the good keeps getting bigger and coming faster.

DancingOn - "But I'm feeling more positive today. Had a busy day at work, with lots of grateful people which always makes life feel worthwhile.
If you're feeling down put a smile on someone's face tomorrow everyone."

-- Way to go Dancing - nice attitude. That's what I'm talkin' about!

K9 - "I don't know if I should hike, swim or just a build a nest!"

-- Nice problem to have huh? Do all three - it's an alternative triathalon! You sound great - good to hear you're NF too! I quit cigs about 15 years ago and never went back - that and MWO are the best things I've ever done for myself. Good for you K9!

Sunni = "Tranq... always miss ya... still working hard?"

-- Thanks Sunni. I am taking a veg-break tonight. I'm not doin' nuthin'. Got to bed at 2am - up at 6am and back at work. I chuckled a bit last night at work. In the past, by standard M.O. would be to sneak out at some point in the evening to buy some beer and stash it in my car so I'd be able to have a few after work in the wee hours. Duh. I might never figure out how the heck I used to get out of bed everyday.

Anyway, it's gonna be a nice quiet evening for a change - and I hope to catch-up on some sleep.

Fennel - hope the computer problems work out. Hi RW, KB. Chooks? Whatsup?

Coco / Katie - nice job on the new threads! Looks like fun.

Lav - 3,000 posts! Woo! At my pace - that's like six years worth of posts. I'd better get busy chirping.

Take care all.

Well, it was time for some old- fashioned problem solving. I took my aging Mac downstairs and hunted around for an unsecured network. Voila'...my next door neighbor's linksys! Which further bolsters my case against AT&T. So, I'm back on for the evening, or until one of the many storms moving through the area knocks me off my perch.

Oh...I hope that the "skin" stuff is no big deal, sunshine...I've had a bit of that and it all turned out benign. Hope it's the same for you! Sounds like your male horse is being a bit of a pill with your old girl- I hope you can get him to behave a bit more gentlemanly. Good luck!

Good lord...Mrs. Fennel's cat is back on me again...and she has amazingly stinky breath! Her drool smells bad, too. I wonder how it compares to "horse lick"? Where is everybody tonight?

[sunshine_gg]

Newbies Nest

:H Fennel... well... horse lick doesn't SMELL so bad... but damn, it's gooey!

Yeah, I'm not TOO worried about the skin stuff, really. I'm sure it'll be fine. I'm more concerned with the hysterectomy - as much as it doesn't fit in my schedule right now, the specialist made it quite clear that waiting was not a good idea... so let's just get it over with! Because they are amalgamating hospitals and whatnot here, it could be 4-5 months until I get the appointment for surgery.

My boy is really a very gentle giant - INCREDIBLY snuggly and loves attention. What's going on right now between him and Sophie is normal herd stuff... once everyone knows their place and has accepted that place, everything will be fine.

Funny, my kitty is scratching at MY door, too... she's a busy little thing, ain't she?

So, you got it figured out then, have ya? The technical tribulations? Ya know.. I STILL haven't got my MAC online... just WILL not connect to my network (and is an older one - so no wireless capability). Hrmpfh. Puters.

Dang horses. I don't know much about those critters. My bro and sis in law have a bunch of them. I'm glad they're just gooey and not stinky.

I hope you can get your hysterectomy in a timely fashion...although I am certain it does not fit in with your busy schedule at all! Geez, if it needs to come out now, it needs to come out now...amalgamation or no. I'm sending my good thoughts your way, Sunshine.

And yes, your little Bubbles or whomever has been scratching at the taco truck door...I know it smells mighty fine in here, but I don't want her to inadvertently end up in a calzone, you know? Now that I'm back in the nest, it's fine, but what if Spam or Katie was cooking? She could have ended up in one of the Moggy tacos! The last thing I need is you shooting up the truck!

Excuse me - I have one crazy Valium laden Mama Kitty that could end up anywhere......5 kittens that just roam around wherever they please. YOU MUST keep the door latched. We might be having NoraC Gatos before we know it. :upset::upset::upset::upset:

Oh, and about the computer...I'm using my old Mac, because it doesn't need a virus program and I'm basically stealing my neighbor's linksys. My new computer is virginal and barely used...I'm waiting for ATT to argue with me that it's not their problem, but clearly, when I can borrow my neighbor's connection, or my mom's, or my cell phone can access MWO...it's an ATT problem. Plus, I can access every other web site on god's green earth. Weird, huh? Plus, it sucks to have to explain to people that I'm locked out of an addiction site, LOL. Hopefully, everybody out there knows somebody in a similar place and it's not a huge deal, you know?
