:H:H I thought two was confusing! LOL. I guess I better not complain. I really don't mind the custom - but I wish I could just avoid the ones who are bringing over their germs that I have no immunity to! :H

Three kisses? Goodness gracious.. isn't there at least some sort of placement protocol!? :H

Hello Fabbinis!
It's a stunningly gorgeous day out! Holy crap, it's supposed to go up to 16C!!! That's PLUS 16C!!! I will have to start frantically searching for shorts 'n whatnot soon! :H

I'm just gonna do what absolutely has to get done today work wise and screw off into the yard. And this weekend is move-in day(s) in the tack room!! Whoohoo!

While looking at my hideous yard, an uninvited thought popped into my head. Gardening still seems to be very much associated with a glass (ok, pitcher) of wine. I think, a mental reboot is in order.

MyLife, I hope you feel better and you and everyone else here has a fabbytastic weekend! One thing IS for sure!

Hi Abstinence Fabbers.... Greenie of the midnite something-Gong, fair play to you. Not I.

Alla you folks, this three point kiss thing, I can tell you its not going to catch on in the West Kootenay mountain towns here.

Doukhabour greeting:

If Male, shout "Oy! Kabatoff! (or Sherstibetoff!"), or any patronimic correct name, then grab friend by the left arm up high, and punch him/her in the shoulder with variable strength dependant on how much you REALLY like /dislike the person.

If Female, grimace, bleat "Oy...Baba, Dedi etc depending on age" and launch into slavic tirade.

Portuguese / Italian Canadian greeting:

High pitched laugh, followed by stream of invective / complaints about government, pulp mill smell, etc.

Plain old English Canadian greeting:

Glassy stare.

Slipping down to the river trails in shorts & teeshirt

POLLEN!!! GAAAAAAK!

TDN, it's deltacare (dental was close, right?). The other one requires pre-existing conditon and no ins for a year.

Hello hello hello

Checkin time, better late then never, all ok with me today, It's that time of the month so I'm a wee bit off sync at the moment, sometimes its hard to be woman! I noticed a very stronglink between all my relapses and they all hapen around this time.And to be honest I had fleeting thoughts of drik today and yesterday, I don't think its anything different from any other woman but its a risky factor for me in early recovery

Good evening fabbers,

Sounds like everyone is up to lots o AF good stuff.

SunshineGG - there are too many of those "associations" in my mind as well that chores=drink while doing them. I'm rebooting however and I think it's starting to stick.... Now I just don't do chores. LOL.!!

Kaslo - gorgeous mountain landscape. Beats a glassy stare any day.

Marshy, Lav, Shue, LG, Det, Greenie, Blondie and all others I may have missed - have a fantastic Friday evening!

And yes, one thing IS for sure....!!

Hi Sugarbeat! Cross post! And yes it is hard being a woman! I certainly agree! Hang in there. :l

[Almostfamous]

AF Daily ~ Fri 3/16

Sugar- I so agree. I was famous for drinking the most right before that super fun (not) time. Ugh!
Kaslo- gorgeous as always.
Sunshine- It's interesting what activities we equate with past drinking. I like Mylife's thinking of just not doing them. Lol!

Night night fellow af- fers.

:H Hmm... the trouble is, I really like my gardens and I'd die with shame if they looked neglected! Too bad, that doesn't go for the rest of the house, or myself, etc. :H

Sugar and Almost.. it took me YEARS to figure out that I was most vulnerable to AL the week before 'that' time. Ick. On so many levels!

Kas... boootiful picture, thank you. Not liking the white stuff, though.

Det... glassy stare right back at ya! Are you feeling ok? You didn't mention garlic in your post... not even once!

Ok, time to mosey along... just did the dinner/wash up thing and going to head out to de-hair and de-mud horses. Atlas is positively crusty :upset:

My house is soooooo neglected. There's actually spider webs on the walls, and roaches (UGH) in the kitchen. I am so disgusted with it all. Between the drinking and depression I just couldn't deal with it, and it seems like overnight it became overwhelmingly bad. I can't afford an exterminator, and it seems like every weekend, my best laid plans get laid aside again, and I have to go through another fucking week looking at the mess.

Well, I aim to do something about it and SOON. My bf will not talk me out of it again, lol.

I hope I don't have to imbibe to get things in order.

LG, get some Harris Roach Tablets. You can get them at the grocery store. They are a miracle. That and a swifter duster and you'll be good to go. It was really weird for me to clean without drinking and AF cleaning sure goes a lot faster. Be careful right? I can't tell if you're kidding or not.

[LibraryGirl]

AF Daily ~ Fri 3/16

Sorry greeneyes, I was a bit tongue in cheek, yes, but AL is nothing to joke about, I know. Thanks for the tip! I will look for it tomorrow!

[greeneyes]

AF Daily ~ Fri 3/16

OK, good. But sometimes AL thoughts are more real than you think - and that is very obvious in hindsight after an unfortunate choice. Voice of experience here.

Evening Abbers,

Turned into one long day again (happens like magic)
Anyway, I finagled a new HP printer out of YB today :H :H
He asked me to do some label printing for him & my old printer just gave out during the job, so......

Marshy, my Dutch sister-in-law never told me about that three kiss thing until I went to Holland with her a few years ago to see her family. Ugh, complete strangers slobbering all over each other freaked me out :H

mylife, hope you feel better soon!

Shue, glad you dumped that bottle. Who needs the temptation/reminder??

Kaslo - still looking at snow? Very pretty pic though!

Sunni, cleaning horses must be a whole lot harder that cleaning Piggy Swissys.

Det, get some rest man! You need a little downtime

greenie, yu must have some real warm weather going on ~ nice!

LG, hope you are OK! Sober housework does indeed go much quicker!

Hello to sugarbeat & almost famous & anyone I may have missed.
