Good Day Booze Busters!!

eksil,

:cheering:CONGRATULATIONS ON 30 DAYS AFHF!! :cheering:

If you celebrate with a drink, I hope it's an AF one! Have you decided if you are going for another 30?

Hannah - have fun at the wedding!

jessie, good for you coming right back here. AL is a tough critter to beat. I have fallen and I was not as wise as you - stayed in the Al-Pit for a whole lot longer than 4 days. OK...you know the price thought. Put on the Fugly Green Suit and take your :b&d: like a trooper. Day 1 it is. You will NOT want to wear that suit again. (speaking of the Fugly Green Suit, has anyone cleaned it yet?????)

kaddy - that is such good news about the remission and also medicine that doesn't make you sick. I admire you being around AL so much with your mates!! So what have you been cooking for them?? Reading your post made me hungry!!

Mame - that is wonderful news that Phase I is finally over!! Sounds like you will have an opportunity for a peaceful day with Uncle Mame away too. Your calm sounds wonderful and I can't wait to hear what you have to say about hypno & hair dye.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Teardrop!! (yesterday, right??) Here's to an AF birthday. I don't think I've ever had one in adult life. If I did, it was a total accident like I was deathly sick in bed or something. YOU GO GIRL!! And I'm SO pretending I'm going with you to the concert. Happy Day 3 HF!!!!!

*waving* to Amelia and louise!! Louise, I'm cookin' up a batch of those Louise Special drinks today! I hope I didn't miss anyone!

Today is Day 38 HF and I can't believe how fast the alst 8 days have flown by. I feel like I've gotten a LOT accomplished - way WAY more than I ever did in 8 drunk days. In fact I don't even know how I managed to keep things running around here at even a basic level. I feel like I'm busy all the time now.

No dog training here today. Mr. Doggy will be heading up to trainer's house and I get peace and quiet!! Yeah!! Tomorrow we will be going back to trainer's place and Mr. Doggy and Ferguson will be in the trial. It's their first time at this so I am really nervous - way more than Mr. Doggy I think. I really hope they pass. If they don't that's OK - they will know what to work on more for the future. But I still really really hope they pass.

I think I may take a page from Aunt Mame's Saturday book and take a nap today!! Got the next Desparate Housewives CD (Season 1 Disc 3) so I have something great to fall asleep to LOL! Why is it I can easily sleep when it's not time to sleep, and have trouble sleeping when the rest of the world (or at least this corner of it!) are asleep???

Happy Booze Bustin' AF day everyone!! An AF day today = An HF day tomorrow!

Welcome Jessie and Beetlebomb. The above gave me a good laugh! I know I have at least normal intelligence for most things but not in this area! Do the same stupid thing over and over.

Wow, checked in 9 hours ago and so many posts since then can't read and respond to all as I have to get ready to go to water aerobics. Woke up with the neighbors chickens cackling in a bad mood due to poor sleep (got pneumonia vaccine yesterday - it hurts!) but got on here and feel happy again because no hangover today! So, wishing all an AF (absolutely fabulous - thanks Anna) HF (hangover free - thanks DG) Saturday. Later

Good Morning all you totally greater AFers! Just a quick note to check in....the fires are still raging as it's remote and rugged country and there is NO help from any authority besides our local volunteer fire department and whoever stops by to join in. Most of No. CA is in the same position. The smoke is way beyond impossible: breathing is painful. There's no place to go for hundreds of miles to find clean air... even along the coast it's bad. Damn, my eyes are burning to much too read. Thank god for Netflix!! It's so eerie... the shadows are blue and everything else is orange. You all keep to your plans and have a fine weekend. xxx g.

on a rainy sunday ......

Hi all,

its nice to be able to have some time to catch up on what everyone has been doing and post back. It is Sunday morning here and we got up early, waved my house mate off to her next Red Cross post (after having a late night backing up her computer!!) - Pamina - well done for getting through all the instructions!! Then I went back to bed with the Sunday paper and a print out of everyone's posts for the last couple of days! Right now I have my "musicals" play list playing out really loud .... it is great and makes me want to dance and sing!!!

Gelgit - you have been on my mind. The fires have obviously been horrendous for you, but I also was very touched by your comment about being the eldest relative and with an estranged DH. Life brings strange revelations sometimes. Hope you are doing okay and that you have managed to find some clean air.

And on the subject of weather - what is happening in the world?????? Seems like everything is up shit creek? Amelia - you asked about weather in NZ - yes its is bad, but not unusual for this time of year. Today is cold and rainy and windy .... although that didn't stop my 84 year old mother from turning up on my doorstep at 8:30am with half a pumpkin for me to make soup with!! The fact of being 84 is not so significant as the fact that we have severe weather warnings - and she walked 2km to get here and was planning on walking another 5km to go to the Sunday farmers market!

DG - hope Mr Doggy and Fergie did well!! Ferg is so cute (who knows about Mr Doggy??!!) - how could anyone fail him??!! Also keen to hear how the hormones are going! I think I'm going to cut out the Evening Primrose .... I have taken it religiously but it doesn't seem to agree with me. I wont go into details!

Teardrop = thinking of you. Happy belated birthday!! And such a great achievement that this was the first AF one! Focus on that and not the slip ....... we all know how hard this beast is to tame. I think that if you feel that you are depressed it would be worthwhile talking to your GP ......... I have had 2 times of being on anti-depressants and did not find than as scary or difficult as I had expected. And they really did the trick! Not happy pills but got me to the point where I could make some healthy choices about my life. PM me if you want to discuss.

Pamina - go cook! I am finding myself cooking more too. Not quite sure why either, but think it is something to do with looking after myself. Did a very nice broccoli and blue cheese soup last night. Haven't tried quinoa, but will do. And DG - could you post your feta and spinach omlette recipe??? I have too much spinach in the garden to deal with, and we are getting bored with spanakopita!!!!

And also Pamina - with you on the networking - I do it, but hate it!

As for me, so nice to have Phase 1 of the shifting over!! Today we take pictures of superfluous furniture to sell on Trade me! (the NZ equivalent of e-bay). Things are looking up generally ........ my other mum is coming to terms with what is happening to her with her cancer - very hard but then again she is an extraordinary woman. We will get a more definitive prognosis tomorrow.

And Uncle Mame may have got a job (he works in a very specialist field, and they dont come up often). He has been very down for the last few months and I've been struggling to know how best to support him. He had a major meltdown during the week and it was the time that I felt most tested. But he came back from it and he had a great day with his boy yesterday, so all is good on the family front!

I dont think I could have got through the last couple of weeks without you all - so thanks! The alternative would have been being drunk for most of it. And I haven't been as sober as I would have liked ..... but I certainly had more ab fab (and HF!) days than I have had for many years.

I'm sort of tearing up here, so I'll just go and put coffee on instead!

have a good sunday for all to are to come!

morning everyone!

Have to be very quick,
Had a really good time at the Bon Jovi concert yesterday, really enjoyed myself i was on a high with the atmospher. It was that good my daughter really got into it as well. but my son say no more not his thing....On the way home i took the wrong turn off on the round about near home, so went the long way round. come to this other round about and there was loads of cars all parked up everyone was out side standing i thought there was an accident, then i realize all eyes were on me after i past them all. i realize why they were all waiting, to have a car race bit like out of the film too fast to furious except, i felt like i gate crash there party race. so gald i was not in the race by mistake!

DG...my photo's did n't come out to good at the concert, my legs did go all weak i wonder why he is so nice. got this one from you tube.

GOOD DAY BOOZE BUSTERS!!

Nanny nanny boo boo it's Monday for Mame and Sunday for the rest of us!!

jessie - I meant to comment yesterday on the saying you posted that "I'm either the slowest learner or the fastest forgetter." I'm going to repeat that one to our dog trainer when I see him today at the trial. He's gonna say "we need the T-shirt." Hope you are doin' OK today!

louise, I hope you got a better night sleep last night!! Your Louise Special ginger / mint drinks just ROCK.

Gelgit - I too think of you a lot and just can't imagine how scary it must be - it sounds like you are well off the beaten track so to speak - and with that smoke and the fires all around you......I admire you for seeming as calm as you seem. I think I would have self destructed by now. Hang in there and please keep in touch with us. I know you have many MWO's sending positive vibes your way. How are your chickens holding up??? The smoke must be hard on them too.

Wonder!!!! It's great to see you. Of COURSE you are forever connected with your angel in my mind.

Mame, I'm LOL at the image of lounging out with the Sunday Paper AND print outs of MWO posts!!! Now THAT's AFHF dedication!!! Your mother sounds amazing!!! So did you talk her out of the continued walk to the farmers market with the weather warnings and all??? I'm glad it sounds like things are settling down a bit for you. Sounds like things took a positive turn for Uncle Mame, and I'm sure just getting your household settled back to normal is a big relief. I'm glad your friend with cancer is coming to terms with things - even though I can't imagine how difficult that if for you and also for you and her other loved ones. I hope this is a good solid week for you too. Are you going to hypnosis again? I like you new (well, new to me anyway) sig line!! How true, how true. Can I get your recipe for broccoli blue cheese soup? I love both of those!!

It's Day 39 AFHF here - can't believe how the time is flying now. Today is the big trial for Ferguson and Mr. Doggy. (Mame, I WISH it was already over!!) In my younger years and even a bit in adult life I was always the competitor - not the "stage Mom." I think it's more nerve wracking to be stage mom than the actual competitor!! I know Mr. D & Fergie are ready but...shit happens on the field sometimes, and that's NOT just because it involves dogs!

Well, I gotta get going and start Hannah Banana's 60 Day AFHF celebration, then get ready to hit the road!! Have a great day everyone!!

Welcome back WW. Kaddy, those recipes sound very inventive and good. Did you make them up? DG, have fun at the dog trials. I'm sure Ferguson will do great. Are these obedience trials? Glad you had a good time at the concert Teardrop. Sounds like you are have a great lazy Sunday Mame. I'm going to have to forgo the paper as have spent too much time on here. Gelgit, please keep us posted. It sounds like it is just getting worse and worse.

I am absolutely mortified. I sent some jokes I had copied to the desk top from this site to my brother in law, then went to my sent mail and clicked on the attachment to make sure it attached. It popped up as a MWO page with my name at the top! ACKKKKKKKKKKK. I have not talked to anyone except my husband about my concerns about my drinking. This is sooooooooo embarrassing. Well, I best go get some things done. And I won't drink because tomorrow is 30 days.

Have a good day everyone.

Hello, Well I blew it I went and drank yesterday. I just could not control it. I guess I will start over. I want to do this. I feel disappointed. I am trying not to beat myself up. OK that's it for now. I need a nap.
You all are doing so great. I want that same feeling too! day 1 today. I hope I can still come here and post.
