ThatGirl - I hope you and your Mom & Brother are all OK after the window incident. The police / legal situation in the US is the same unfortunately. You can "know" who did something but without evidence of it, there isn't much the police can do.
Dill, I hope you are having fun on vacation. That was a good post yesterday. Yes, I think the reasons for stopping are definitely more limited to the reasons for starting. My guess is that most of us here are stopping because drinking causes problems in our life. I know that's why I'm here!
Narilly - I too love my unhung mornings. I've always been a "morning person" - that's always been my best time for getting a lot done, especially if what I have to do requires concentration. Mr. Doggy is a night person so the difference is quite obvious. I totally ruined my ability to be productive when I spent every single morning in that hangover fog and misery.
Mr. Doggy and I went out to the yard after dinner last night and marked the area we are going to till up for the garden. Yikes - I better get busy reading the gardening thread! Our fence guy is supposed to come next week to give us a price on fencing in that area of the yard. With 4 dogs, I don't think a garden would last very long without enclosing it.
Remember that ticket I got for "improper lane useage' back in February that I was so miffed about? I'm still convinced the cop was behaving badly in the situation. Well, my court date is next Tuesday so I looked up the rules of the road for IL this morning. Low and behold here is what it says:
when passing another vehicle moving in the same direction on a two-lane highway, interstate highway or controlled freeway.
when a blockage makes it necessary to drive to the left of the center line. You may drive on the left after yielding to oncoming traffic.
on a roadway divided into three marked lanes for traffic.
on a roadway restricted to one-way traffic.
So No Guilty it shall be. I'm not sure if they do the "trials" later that same day, or if they schedule them for a different day. This will be a learning experience - LOL I hope not a horrid one!
Have a fabulous AF day everyone. There will be no drinking here today, that's for sure.
DG
