    Cantoo.....I could not survive life without massage, even when I had an SO. In NZ it is so normal, they have little booths in all the malls. You can just stop for a massage while shopping ......it is so cool. Tis due to the large Chinese population and I love it

      Hey Turn, great to see you. Thanks Mick, always enjoy your opening thoughts. Some of the jokes on here have been hilarious. Everyone sounds good. I just wanted to say hi, Im about to clean the house and make a meal for my youngests sometime to be parents in law. And my daughter and her bf /fiance. The dad is a pastor, and so I will have to watch I dont stub my toe, and uncharacteristically of course, turn the air blue. Nice folk but we dont know them very well. Ive been working hard and not cleaning so the house looks like the back side of the moon, and my husbands idea of helping is to power wash the driveway :upset: How about peel the potatoes, honey? If I suggest that this might not be the best use of limited time, he will get all pouty and glum, and sometimes even mean, then I have to cheer him up. Oh well, whatcanyado?

      Happy BD Kuya, you seem like such a young firebrand I was sure you were in your thirties. Have a great birthday.

                  Did Mick make a dirty joke? I am shocked Mick SHOCKED! We will miss you on your travels but I hope my recent woes can help keep you strong if you do feel tempted. Please, and this goes for all, just remember that it is much easier to stay ON the wagon than to get back ON it. And you will just hurt your arse and bruise your soul if you fall off. Where in Spain are you going? I am jealous. I spent three weeks in Spain years ago and LOVED it. Tapas! Churros! Gaudi! The Dali museum!

                  KY and 69… It's like the proverbial shooting fish in a barrel so I'm not going to go there. But… did I miss something, is it your birthday? You meant 69 days not years, right? Or am I completely confused! (Re Kas's post.) Either way, congratulations!

                  Kas, HI! Have missed you around here. How're you doing?

                  Det, thanks for taking my comments with good graces. Afterwards I worried that might have seemed rude. Obviously we both have different politics and strong feelings on the topic so I think it's best not to go there. I looked at that election thread, started to respond then, much like the atheist thread, just decided 'nup, bite your tongue and don't go there'. As much as I love a healthy political/religion debate in real life I think it's too risky online as, as KY discovered, things can quickly get nasty without context and tone. No offense to you either re that thread Kuya. I get why you started it but I'm not shocked really that it went pear-shaped. People can get so vicious and personal online - especially when it comes to such sensitive heated issues. And I can get quite passionate when it comes to politics I feel strongly about so I'd best just eave it along here I reckon.

                  Porquoi
                  , forgot to say thanks for the P my friend I could use it once again.

                  , I'm sorry you're a bit blue. I know what you mean re the human touch. Recently at an event this woman kept stroking my back for some reason. It was a bit odd but also made me realize I don't get much human touch these days apart from brief hugs from friends. I actually think it's really important to get that and if it has to be via massages, well, good, it's an important need. And you should be really proud of yourself for taking care of all those good, positive things that will keep you healthy and help you be happier long term even if you're having a bit of a sad patch.

                  Turn
                  , loved your gratitude post, wise words as always. It's so odd this hold alcohol can have over us when - and I am realizing this more and more - it does make us more miserable than happy and being AF is so much happier a place. It's madness. And yet…

                  I was thinking about what Lav
                  says about getting a plan. I thought I'd had one but clearly it wasn't good enough. I need to rethink my plan a bit I think. I have no idea what that means right now in practical terms, however.

                        Det....starting the 4 Hour Body on Monday. I love his thinking....think I have been overcomplicating the whole thing....he makes it so easy.....and since I am not a wizard in the kitchen like you are...this fits me for now. I will let you know the results and how it goes.

                        BTW...I was glad to find out on the plan that I could drink a whole keg of beer on Saturday.....damn it! I don't drink anymore

                        LillyE...I did not think you lived in the states? I think everyone has a right to post what they want....whether someone agrees or not.....but it best to keep this place a calm place...and I am glad that Det....was gracious about your post.

                        Kuya...every day sober is worth a celebration.

                        Still not feeling the best. Still have that cold hanging on....mood is just so-so. But still sober....why do I think I deserve a bowl of cherries just because I don't drink anymore

                            PPQ- Good! It's going to be a looong winter.

                            SL - do you think Det can get a haggis to follow the lemmings off a cliff and into his valley? They're hard to catch in the hills I hear

                            Turn - Thanks for the reminder.

                            KY - well now there's another reason to go hiking in NZ. The shopping. Teehee

                            Kas
                            - I hope dinner went off without a >#~?$&!

                            - :hallo:

                              Kuya....I love your thinking Many do not get a day 1, much less 69. All I meant was celebrate day 70 and 71....because everyday counts. Every single day counts. Celebrate every single day!

                              I am feeling down....and feel a relapse coming on. I can't remember how bad it really was. But, I can't remember how it even felt to be drunk. I guess I should be grateful for both. But, I do know drunk....I felt nothing....and I would like that right now.

                              I am down.....my friend's death is just now hitting me full trottle. I don't know about any of you.....but, when BIG things like this hit me....I seem to shut down and not feel anything. I just move ahead to what needs to be done. Then it hits me hard. I do not like this feeling....and I only know of one way to make it go away.

                              I guess I am just being honest....but I am sad that I can not bring up my old happy self.

                                Sun, I know this sounds trite but how much have you cried? I find it VERY hard to Ryan and will do ANYTHING including alcohol to avoid it
