Bruun's Titting UP

Apparently Harry Potter is in 3D! And it was $28.00 for two matinee tickets! Holy cow! Of course you can choose not to do 3D but I don't want to do it halfway. Last 3D movie I saw was pre-boobs and I don't even recall what it was.

I can't poison things, I am way to empathic, I practically feel their pain. Just stomp on that worm, damnit. Poor thing. :upset: I know that's how I want to go, a quick stomp vs writhing with cancer or poison. Man up DG, you say you're so brave, c'mon!

Having ice cream tonight to stave off the AL beast. Tomorrow is Harry Potter and Sunday is reverse shopping, which is what returning is. A big fat credit to my credit card.

I have a weakness for ice-cream, it must be said. It's a recent thing, I was indifferent to it before. I don't want to get off-topic here, so let's stick with Horny though... Stick in there Bruun. You can and will do it.

DG, I'm sorely disappointed. You'd rather eat toxins capable of killing a creature than flick Horny off your plant? Doesn't one of Mr DG's Superhero tools include a Worm-Flicker Offer? Man up! You've killed the beast, now kill the beast. Although maybe just take him to your neighbours vege patch? Killing things sucks.

We want photo's as well. Of a scrunched-up Horny.

I flick'em over the fence along with the gophers my pool vacuum sucks up and rats my cats kill. It's like a graveyard on the other side of that fence, and it's my property so no one can give me any shit about it.

I'm a fan of flicking. It feels evil and is fun, try it DG.

Tonight I was successfully AF but I ate a pint of ice cream. I had a screaming demon for any and all food even AFTER I had a hamburger (bun free) for lunch. So it wasn't blood sugar. It was the beast! I need to kill it! It kept thinking about drinking and I had to keep shutting it up.

Bruun, I hope you can keep hanging in there. The drinking thoughts DO subside. I remember those gut wrenching cravings that made me want to scream! (well, and of course they made me want to DRINK!!!) The only thing that kept me going was the faith that what happened for others could happen for me too - that the day would come when I would no longer want to drink. And it did. Don't give up!

Ice cream sounds good! What kind? I'm wanting to vicariously eat ice cream though you...

Bleep - no Sevin on my plants. Only on the worms. No flicking them either. Holy crap they hold on tight with all those smarmy little feet! Have to TUG them off of there with the tongs! I hope I get some actual ripe tomatoes before their next life cycle begins.

3D!!! I too have only seen one 3D movie and have no recollection what it was. (I wonder why that might be???) Do you still have to wear those little cardboard glasses? I can't wait to hear about it. Reverse shopping! :H I love that. Did some of that myself this week. I see it as creating a budget for fall shopping.

:cupajoe:

Yes, creating a budget for fall shopping exactly!

Baskin Robbins Chocolate Fudge with chocolate chip in hand packed quart together. I ate 1/3 of this container yesterday. Yes, I did. :kudos:

I'm using ice cream to stave off my beast. I don't know if you experienced this DG, but I find I can maintain or even lose ounces if I stay off the alcohol, milk and bread. The alcohol puts it on FAST. I had wine twice this past week, once more than a bottle, once two glasses. I gained five pounds in those two days. I'm STILL up from the prior-wine days and I've added in walking to my routine since then. I need to break out the L-glut; it was giving me the runs so I stopped it but I'm going to try again since I'm not drinking (drinking upsets my stomach and with glutamine it's really bad).

Cheers, have a great day! Good luck with the cleaning and painting and fix-it stuff. Don't forget the befores and afters, I want to see!

OMG Bruun,
When I cleaned out my pool for summer I had 17 frogs (all alive). I had my son put them all through a hole in the neighbors fence. Some made it to his pool and the rest were still hopping around his driveway when he got home. I heard a very loud WTF!
I ran inside laughing like never before. From this day on he is known as 'Frog Man' to me and my kids.
My mini dober guarded the fence for the next few days to make sure the frogs stayed in their 'new' yard.
I have a mole story but darn I'll get to that later.
I am at work and have to run.
Milk shakes have replaced the sugar I guess the wine use to satisfy.
Double Chocolate Fudge at Steak N' Shake or the Hot Fudge Shake at Sonic.
Both are made with hot fudge and will make your day!

Love and hugs!

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Actual frogs, wow. I can tell you don't live in the desert! I want to go rescue the frogs from your Frogman neighbor. He probably stomped on them. I can picture his face....
:egad: :what?: :exclaim2:

I'm glad I'm not the only one succumbing to this weakness, last time around I was SO good on my diet when I went AF, this time, WTF (to quote your neighbor). LOL Sonic, huh? Sugar will be the next thing I quit, just as soon as the beast stops yelling at me every night.

I will get on my knees right now and thank my lucky stars that Horny Worms are the only pest driving me crazy in my world right now! And I will not even mention frogs or moles or anything like that, lest I jinx things. :H

That is an AWESOME frog story LadyLush! :H

At your service with a before picture. The squatters had them a little bonfire:



When Mr. Doggy decided he wanted to get into this rental business, I told him I was not into the "fixing upping" part of it. I did line him up with some reasonably priced help. That's why I'm "management." :H So I have managed to avoid the whole thing today. Whew.

Oh my gawd. What is the world coming to? Squatters.

I just read on Murphy's thread that Amy Winehouse died today. I'm so sad. She was so talented and obviously struggling mightily. I've been waiting for her next big album. Shitdamnfuckpisshell.

[Doggygirl]

Bruun's Titting UP

Amy really did have such an amazing voice and unique style. So modern and yet sort of retro all at the same time. Drugs and alcohol are the scourge of the earth. I'm sure it wasn't sober people squatting in the vacant house and starting bonfires in the bedroom. And speaking of the homeless, drug and alcohol problems (and mental illness) so rampant there. Sometimes I can't understand how drinking ever did (or does) seem "glamorous" to me, or like a good idea in any way.

One of the reasons this site is good for me and important in my recovery even now is that I benefit from the regular reminder of where drinking took me, and will take me again if I go back there.

I remember when I first found MWO in 2007. My posts reflected a desire to stop drinking (I guess logically I KNEW that, deep down). But what really attracted me to MWO was the "moderation option" and that hope.......that I'm sure many of us have/had. Now with a totally clear (of AL) head, and a bit of abstinent time under my belt, I just can't even imagine ever wanting "a" drink - knowing what it did to my life (and almost took my life). And seeing every day what it does to so many lives. I just can't imagine going there.

Anyway..dont' know what brought that on!!! How was the movie? And reverse shopping?

DG

[Bruunhilde]

Bruun's Titting UP

Hey DG,
I haven't yet done the reverse shopping, that may be today. Although it may be later today. I'm having a bit of an aquarium problem right now, two fish died yesterday so I have to do a deep clean to make sure it's not amonia killing them. I think it's the boy fish chasing the pregnant and exhausted girl fish constantly until they die. Pretty sad state of affairs. How does one neuter a boy fish?

Still being in that phase where I would like to have the ability to drink moderately, I also now recognize that life without drinking doesn't mean a life without fun and excitement. In fact, it will mean a more fulfilling life because I won't be hiding from reality, I won't be hiding my fears and feelings but instead exploring and living them. And that means living joys as well, and allowing that. I mean to explore that last bit extensively because the lack of sufficient enjoyment is what drove me to drink in my teens. Instant joy=getting tipsy. But the end game of that path has ruined my last ten or more years.

The movie was good. I have a tiny issue with part of the story line, I don't think the end was planned from the beginning, I think JK Rowling twisted circumstances to create an ending and maybe it didn't make 100% sense. However, I'm willing to do some magical thinking and ignore that, and I did enjoy the movie. I had not seen a 3D movie since I was a kid, so it was distracting all as I kept noticing the 3D differences in image (from real life, and from 2D movies). There were flashbacks to the earlier movies and you see how young the actors all were many movies ago. They were little kids, quite little! And of course the requisite Hollywood crap where they get out of the icy lake and change shirts then in the next scene their hair is smooth and straightened (blown dry and flat ironed no doubt) and they have different clothes. WTF? That crap always pisses me off, it's SO Hollywood. That's why I liked the Dragon Tatto books/movies, no Hollywood fake boobs or fake fixed hairdos, etc. Other than that, the movies follow the books and I loved the books. JK Rowling has an amazing imagination.

Yo! Missed the frog excitement. Good to catch up.
Yer fireplace is missing a mantle DG. That would be one of the first things I'd do, I think. Put in the mantle.
It's funny, when I first got here it was in search of bac and I was AMAZED that people were trying to moderate. Astounded. Ordered RJ's book and knew immediately that this was the wrong place for me. lol

Thinking of you bruun. It's only 7pm there! I've just watched a bunch of stand up on Netflix, which I'm canceling tomorrow. (I'm looking for something other than cable. Can't flippin' stand tv.) Anyway, Lewis Black and George Carlin were both rather disappointing. It's ten years old, though, so the 9/11 jokes aren't so relevant. But what's with Carlin and the p**** jokes and the fart jokes? (Couldn't tell you which one, didn't really watch it.) But then I watched Bo Burnham. That kid is funny. He knows so many big words for such a small (in years) boy. Still bored with it though. perhaps I need another outlet altogether.
Glad you enjoyed the movie. I think I'll try to convince Ed to do a Harry-marathon and watch them all back to back. I've missed the last few. And stopped reading the books a while back too.
Alright, done futzing around and postponing bed. Hope it's a good sugar filled night for you! (I had TWO bowls of ice cream. This in spite of the fact that the kind we got last time has HFCS as the second ingredient. Lemme tell you, my diet, relatively speaking, was good before no-AL. Now? I ingest sugars of ALL kinds A LOT. aargh. But whatever. Priorities, right?)
g'night. See you in the a.m.

Get out of my head!!! :H
Looks like we're both excited to having REAL highs, not chemically induced ones. It'll take time, but hang in there you sultry lioness!

I'd be more inclined to clear the mess up first, but I suppose it's all a matter of taste. Perhaps a shiny new mantle would draw the eye away from the pile of human faeces, so you might be right after all Ne. The guys installing the mantle would find it odd though, don't you think?

[Bruunhilde]

DG - Don't forget the firebox and chimney, both very important for the fireplace.

Bleep, was that human feces? I thought it was charred stuff from the fire. I guess only DG knows.

Pete, yes funny we're thinking the same things. I'm planning on dieting until my bday and being AF which is two weeks approx. I hope to drop five pounds. Then I hope to snag a dude for dates. Got to get rid of the AL gut first, which I'm currently maintaining with ice cream and occasional wine. Sugar! L-glut day 1 is here.

Hey Ne, I don't like Carlin, thought he relied on nasty jokes too much and I just wasn't into his sense of humor. Lewis Black can be good these days, but maybe he needed work ten years ago. Read your thread and again thinking HELLA Fabulous where you are today vs six months ago.
