Happy Birthday Pamina enjoy the last days of the 20's while you can!
At this stage, I can't tell who is kidding and who is serious! Just to clarify, and speaking ONLY for myself of course, I AM 29. In fact I have been 29 for a really long time. I can't speak for anyone else. Except of course for Marshy who I am SURE to my bones is lying about HER age. Not me though.

But the GOOD NEWS is that no matter how upset I had been all day regarding this impending doom, I DIDNT DRINK!! I was emotionally exhausted, but went to the gym instead! Yahoo...major hurdle...I feel REALLY good about this accomplishment. Normally this would have been an excellent excuse to drink. But I refuse to turn my power over too anyone at this point in my life. Because it is MY life.

YOU ROCK R2C!!!!!!! :rockband:

Hmmm...peppermint ice cream for birthdays.....maybe I should reconsider my stance on having them with more frequency...

Cowgal, congrats on your AFness!! I second the motion for you to go get some sleep now!!

Thank goodness someone around here is older than me!!!

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone! Very sweet.

Ravenjoy, I'm not really 29 but don't tell anyone It's just that I've reached that mature middle age range where women join the trend that DG started, namely turning 29 forever and ever. See Lav, above!

R2C - well done you!! Taking the bull by the horns may not always be elegant and turn out neat & tidy, but you did it anyway. Wow!

I decided to postpone birthday celebrations until the weekend and express my new-found maturity by tackling some bulls of my own. Two of my flatmates are leaving for different reasons, and I had to negotiate future moves with a landlord who's prickly and hard to deal with. To my surprise, he agreed to all our proposals. Must be coz I'm so much older and wiser. Great birthday present - looks like I'm not getting evicted!

DG - yes, my friend was obviously devastated. She had no idea the betrayal was taking place under her nose. We had a long discussion about dishonesty and denial, how patterns from our past play out in our own lives. Which to me ties in with the ODAT philosophy, Tolle, Kabat-Zinn, staying in the moment and coming out of hiding. Not possible with AL in the picture.

This is my second birthday on MWO - woohooo!! Much less hidden than I was two years ago!

Have a good one everybody.

Good Afternoon, Abbers!
Happy Birthday Pamina! I hope you have been having a wonderful day!:bday7:

My, Oh My, so many of us are 29..me too...I had no idea!:wd:

R2C, Great for the way that you are handling the stress of a possible job change....I know how difficult this can be.....Good Luck!

Good for all who are in your first days of sobriety! And to the long termers.....Well Done! I find, that with each day, month and year of sobriety, the rewards are better and better!

Have a great day all!
xx Kate

Pamina - re the gay husband - surprisingly common. I can think of three gay people I know (one man, two women) who are married to members of the opposite sex. One spouse knew before they got married, one found out after a few years and one still doesn't know as far as I'm aware.
