Hi everyone! Looks like it's been a busy couple of days for Bruun & Company!!! Red it's great to see you here and of course Ne too along with all the regulars!

Is - so glad you are getting the referral to a good psych doc. I'm realizing just from the classes I'm taking that it totally makes sense to at least get an evaluation rather than do all the insane stuff we end up doing on our own to try to feel better. Who knows? Can't hurt to go see what's up. I'll be interested to hear how it goes. What's the latest your knees? (I'm sorry if I missed stuff - I've been skimming this week!) good to hear about a sweat free night! I love those. Easier to sleep too! (or more pleasant when not sleeping!)

LL - good to see you. Sorry to hear you are battling some SE's right now - hope they pass quickly for you. Are you planning to stay on the Antabuse too?

Spacebebe - haven't had a chance to get to your thread today - I hope you are doing great!

Pete that was interesting photo composition. You and Brenda and your coconut oil photos! :H

Hi rudyb and Brenda and all the friends. Where is Bruun today? Is this the night of the customer outing? Hope you are continuing to think and "do" in such positive ways today!

Got a good grade on my midterm. When we reviewed the test in class today, one of the students went a little crazy on the teacher. :egad: Passive aggressive much? I stopped and thanked the universe that I didn't end up with him on my debate team. I am on my 3rd day in a row without sugar. Glory be. I get really strong cravings in stressful moments. This is a time when it would be nice to take a month vacation from married life! Peanuts are bad choice for me, but they are not sugar and they got me through my "moment" today! I do not need to eat sugar. Sugar does not fix/change anything. All it does is take me into a cycle of craving and craziness. I can choose not to go there. These are my Jason Vale style mantras for today.

I hope you all are having a good one!!

Hi all on here, have not had much time on here today, have been to docs and messages this morning and out for a meal tonight for my daughters 25th birthday, I really enjoyed going out it was good, I should start doing it more, I had to go to bed this afternoon to get some sleep. I have been looking at the jason vale books, is it the drinking one you have all been reading i dont know whether to get it have been overspending lots lately, i think its a drinking substitute or something.Over the past week I have bought myself 3 tubs of coconut oil and a book about coconut oil from amazon, 3 fake ahh bras (what the hell-I feel asleep the other night on the couch and when I woke up the teleshopping channel had come on and brain washed me i think), had my hair done, 4 impulse bodysprays and a load of other crap that I niether want or need, mostley from the ?1 shop. This is getitng out of control I have got to shop. sorry STOP.

Space - glad to hear you had fun going out for your daughter's birthday! I was at a birthday party this afternoon. For a three year old. At Chuckee Cheese or however you spell that. :egad::nutso:nfire::bangull:flush: OMG. All you parents out there have my utmost respect. That is all.

I too have had to fight the shopping bug a bit. I never shopped when I was drinking/drunking and now I have more shoes than Imelda Marcos ever even thought about. At least the coconut oil is good for you! I need to stop by your thread and see what happened at the doctor yesterday. Hope it was all good.

Bruun?? Bruun?? Call the mothership please!

Spacebebe, I no longer waste my money in the ?1 shop because now a 99p shop has opened in my town. This makes me very happy. I sense the beginning of a price war and look forward to the opening of the 1p shop.

DG & RB, I'm not your typical Amurrican, I've travelled around and still do and (wait for it) I'm aware of other continents:
noun. One of the main landmasses of the globe, usually reckoned as seven in number (Europe, Asia, Africa, North Amurrica, South Amurrica, Australia, and Antarctica).

At the moment I'm channelling a bizarro little place called Bedford in Engerlandia. It has a funky smell and a large criminal fraternity. Ahhhhh foreign is funny.

Edited to add: I thought of it only because it's filmed where you live - NYC. No other reason.

It so pisses me off that I can't post from my home pc on this forum anymore, for some God knows what reason, and on my work pc I cannot access any of these video clips or Youtube or FB nor my personal email. Its a cluster fuck of the ninth magnitude.

Brenda, you're so funny, you are such a horny lonely Britophile that you made up a fantasyland called BEDford with CRIMINALS, LOL. By the way, I've always thought living in England would be fun for a while, loved London when I was there, I could actually speak the language. But the food, except at the nice restaurants, the food wasn't really food, it was like Brit-McDonalds and that was it. Germany is awful too, for food. So much meat and overcooked vegs.

Anyhow, Broncos v Jets was a great game, I actually enjoyed it. And I didn't drink all night except for a beer before bed with the crowd in the bar, because without the one drink I feel awful.

Last three times this year I went AF, I felt great. This time, I have not. So the difference may be the gabapentin, so I went off that over the course of this week, and I'm almost out of baclofen (reordered yesterday) so I'm on 20mg/day now, and going down since I'll run out. Its a good thing, because I want to know what it has been doing or not doing for me re anxiety. The gabapentin mixed in confused things, so I'll try to add just one and then the other if needed, when the new shipment comes. Since I'll be out of baclofen for a couple weeks, I will try the gabapentin alone to see how it works without baclofen for the first time.

The way I've felt this time is jittery, a low uncomfortable thrum in my body and mind, like an electric current. Unable to do anything comfortably, except take xanax. Found another treasure trove of xanax in my chest of drawers, um, bureau. I like to hide things from myself until it comes down to that emergency need for the stash and I cannot find the damn stuff to save my damn life. I make myself crazy in so many disorganized ways.

Wish I had the reaction Is and Ru do to the weed, I really need to get the cleaning bug out and get it motoring. My office is a mess, I haven't done my expenses in two quarters, and year end is approaching. Looks like another fun holiday of last minute paperwork on vacation days and inability to throw a party due to enormous mass of paperwork and unclean floorboards. Bugger.

Anyone heard of The Black Keys? A drunk co-worker was playing it on her smart phone in the car relentlessly, I think I liked them - she and I share a love of Amy Winehouse, which she also obnoxiously played on her tinny phone that sounds like a transister radio. Full circle to the 50's quality sound in this generation, funny. Also fun to be the sober one when others were downing shots. It looked boring to get drunk, for once.

Not that I've been perfect, I did have wine Friday night, and a couple of beers last night. Its boredom, and a need for a new adventure. I continue to see alcohol as just alcohol, not deliverance and escape though, which I can thank the Jason Vale/Allen Carr books for.

Space, the Jason Vale alcohol book is the one we're talking about, How to Quit the Drink. A cheaper version of similar text is by Allen Carr - cheaper because its old and you can buy it used.

Last, apples. I heard on NPR about a new apple called something SweeTango. It has a different way of breaking up as you bite into it, it "explodes" in your mouth with juicy sweet flavor. Something about the molecules acting differently which makes me worry its Frankenfood. Anyone try it or know about it? Here's a blurb:

Five Northern Michigan apple growers were among the first in the country to plant and harvest the world?s newest designer apple, the SweeTango. The apple, developed at the University of Minnesota, is a cross between the crispy, juicy Honeycrisp (the must-have apple of the last decade, also developed by the University of Minnesota) and the sweet flavored Zestar apple. The SweeTango is "a fabulous piece of fruit," says Mark Evans of Evans Brothers Fruit Company in Frankfort, one of the five Northern Michigan members of the Next Big Thing, the SweeTango growers? cooperative.
Jonesing for a crunchy, succulent, sugary bite? Don?t head to the grocery store to find a SweeTango. This first-year production was small, and most of the apples were sent to an apple distribution company in Minnesota. Do head to a Northern Michigan farm market this fall to find the new apple. Two of the five Up North growers, Bakkers Acres and Interwater Farms, are selling their SweeTangos at area farm markets?Bakkers Acres in Leelanau and Traverse City and Interwater Farms in Petoskey, Charlevoix and Boyne City. You?ll also find SweeTangos at Bakkers Acres farm stand on 2677 Setterbo Road, Suttons Bay, 231-271-3673.

Yes, my local grocer carried it for about a month. They were happy to bring it in, and they're really delicious. It's a combination of the zestar apple and the honey crisp. It has a different finish. I'm not sure if the combination makes it a frankenfood or not. I would think as long as they're both apples, it would be okay. Let me know if you find something different, frankenfoods are out! This little blurb you posted is from an area I know well. I'm sorry to hear of your computer problems. It sounds like a frusterating drag.
