    af day Thurs 1 Nov

    Good morning all................well here we are again..on a roll down to the weekend!!
    Before we start, coupla things..ta muchly to everyone who sent their wishes that I had done 120 days af..I had actually lost count.It is important that we share it with each other especially as newcomers, because in a nutshell its not something that people outside of the al issue are really interested in.Secondly it shows as a measure of success how our forums work as a means of supporting each other...
    Next issue...Sunflower, sorry to hear about the death of your friend..is this the one who was texting you?and was on this site?Apologies for being dense!! Anway big :l from us all

    Tea and coffee on the go.Got some new tea to try yesterday.....Green tea with honey lemon and ginseng..it tastes lovely

    Right on with the show....

    Morning RC..how are you today?..or as you'll recall from Aberdonian time "foos yer doos loon?"reading your post yest..wow you've jotted about a bit havent you?Aberdeen , Stirling Edinburgh ,Glasgow..have a great day onywiy neeb!!!

    Aha Mrs Molls is it you yersel?Top o the morning to ye, as he casually mentions in passing that in 19 days hes on the big silver bird to Tenerife Twas absolutely hammering it down last night..and some kids turned up at the door trick or treating...was so impressed gave them some Senakot free sweets Very polite they were...thank you and on their way which is surprising..nowadays they either want yer car keys or to turn yer house over :H..You working today?

    Where theres one the other aint far behind!!morning Satzy and how are you this grand day seeing daylight for you or is it down the pit?You never told us about Mr nosey at work...he still at it or have you cured him?

    Morning Lilly E hows my mate down under? you ok?Working hard after being pulled up...ooops

    Morning Kuya..you ok? whats with the hi de hi campers?With all due respect..methinks a campsite run by you would be the last place I would want to be :H:H..So your gear got busted by the customs did it?........watch out for the early morning knock!!!
    What you up to this aft ? anything special?

    Hiya Shue, how are you? still in busy busy land?Watched a brill programme on Budapest the other night..all about the tunnels under the city and their history and the underground hospital from the cold war..fascinating..anyway have a grand day...oh and heres a cuppa as you go flying out of the door!


    Good morning Lav,,cuppa for you too..well did you have a kid free day yesterday and get done what you wanted ..or did that fall at the first fence?Any plans for today?

    Hiya Cantoo...how are you today?thanks for your thanks noticed the smilies too!!
    try some of this tea its great.......what up to today anything special?

    morning Det ..you ok mate?Appreciate your concern over security clearances etc if you told anyone..but honestly I dont think it is such a massive issue..just tell anyone that asks that you dont drink..end of no need to go into realms of detail..once you have done that youll be on a winner

    Mr G ..long time no see how are you and what are you up to?

    YAH.......hows you today and what are you up to?whatever it is have a good one

    PPQ...and how are you today? any plans? wens your next trip out? can you smuggle me on it?

    Turn again how are you doing? looked at your avatar..thought I was looking in a mirror..but didnt recognise the back ground!!Wonder how many people are going to be on pumpkin soup etc for the next few days?

    Hiya SF..just read your posts again and on reading it ..doesnt seem like its the person who sent you the texts etc who is dead..so apologies for that..though it is in my simple mind kida mixed up with a lot of subjects/issues.. i do disagree with your comment to Det not to tell people..it actually depends what you tell people...but in a strange way once I had told people that I dont drink I felt better and in a way once I had done that it wasnt bs any more I had to walk the walk so to speak.I also didnt understand about being hardcore abs...believe me like most others if I could have had one drink and alked away I would have...but that wasnt going to happen,and now in general I couldnt really care about having a drink though I would be lying if I said that it did not creep up on me every now and again....Anyway as I said earlier take it easy and big hugs from us all.

    Well its that time again, so off we pop take care all and have a great day.

    After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security.

    The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my
    age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the
    woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.
    The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly
    silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and
    she processed my Social Security application..When I got home, I excitedly told
    my wife about my experience at the Social Security office...She said, 'You should
    have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.'

    My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy


    with what she saw and said to me, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really


    need you to pay me a compliment.' I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect."

    The husband had just finished reading a new book entitled, You Can Be the Man of Your House.

    He stormed over to his wife in the kitchen and announced, "From now on, you need to know that I am the man of this house and my word is Law. You will prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished eating my meal, you will serve me a sumptuous dessert. After dinner, you are going to go upstairs with me and...well... you get the point.

    "Later, you are going to draw me a bath so I can relax. You will wash my back and towel me dry and bring me my robe.... Then, you will massage my feet and hands. Then tomorrow, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?"

    Without even looking up from her morning paper the wife replied, "The funeral director would be my first guess

    An old man goes to the Wizard to ask him if he can remove a curse he has been living with for the last 40 years.

    The Wizard says, "Maybe, but you will have to tell me THE EXACT WORDS that were used to put the curse on you."

    Without hesitation, the old man says, "I now pronounce you man and wife."

      Morning Mick thanks for the coffee and the kickoff. Not scheduling another trip out for awhile but I'll give you plenty of notice. You're welcome anytime. Working on a Signature Event for February, thinking of "Scavanger Hunt by Limosine".

      Morning KY, I'd stay at your campsite. Wouldn't need to drink if you were around, would have to be sober to keep up with you.

      Morning to all I haven't mentioned by name but I'm feeling a little sluggish these days. I think it's an after effect of all the planning, organizing and supervising an event and then it's over. Find it's hard to get going again. Did a bit of a read around yesterday and I'm exhausted trying to keep everything straight so won't even attempt it. Another Kudo's to Mick.

      Stay safe and have a great AF Thursday all and all to come......PPQ

        Congrats Mick on your 120 days! That's fab and you're right. We need to celebrate ourselves because others just don't get how hard this is. Well done!

          Good morning Abbers,

          Thanks for the coffee Mick. You are in true form today I must say

          SunFlower, I am so sorry about your friend. AL kills, no question about that.
          It was 9 years ago this summer that AL took the life of my 18 year old nephew, just horrible.

          I am off to get my day started with a trip to Curves then home to work in my shop for a few hours.
          Daughter & grandaughter will be here for dinner & weekly overnight stay. The grandsons will be here for a couple of hours tonight while their Mama kicks some butt in karate class :H
          Life is busy but good

          Wishing everyone a terrific AF Thursday. Nurdl, glad to see you this morning!!!

            Hi all,

            Just popping at lunch having been teaching this morning at my PAWSH skool. Trust me, I teach kids that go to private skools, but this skool is something else... they're folks all arrive in tweeds, and the kids are all pucker. The kids, actually, aren;t so bad, but having met some of their folks... makes me proud to be part of the plebian tribe

            Thanks for the cuppajoe and laughs Mick. Oh, and ma doos are chuffin awa fine. Cheears min!

              Mick - you're getting funnier with each AF day . Big congratulations on 120. Time just flew, ha?

              I am busy in neverending meetings today. Feels like the day is too long.

              Last night I went to see the new James Bond - loads of scotch being poured during office hours. Never noticed that before ...

              sunflower, big hug to you - it must be dreadful. Terrible reminder of how deep AL cuts.

              The cautionary tale that I keep telling myself came from Kaslo who said that she watch dher good friend die all the while claiming she only drank in moderation.

              Oh Lord, my next meeting just got out of a huge car ... and the guy cannot possibly clear 1.55m. Even with regular issue heels I'll still tower over him ... heck, even barefoot. Not my intention for this meeting.

              ciao lovelies

                  Happy AF Thursday to everyone on our wonderful thread.

                      All my rellys on my mums side are from Salford and my aunt's house was in a street parallel and two streets away from the real original coronation street. Whenever I see that programme I want to run and hide.......arrrrggghhh, nails on blackboards, the lot of them. Can you imagine actually living with em?
                      I was brought up in the south of England and going up there to visit used to make me wanna cry......all they do is SHOUT at each other.......*shudders*
