    af day Saturday 10 Nov

    Mornin all...well here we are ..another weekend Not many more of these till Santa turns up with all my pressies :H So how is everyone today then? up and raring to go?By the way..out early doors tomorrow..so we need a threadstarter...any volunteers? good ..well done

    9lb lost to date...so that isnt bad..its not thats I am massively overweight anyway..started at 12.7..now 11.12..want to get to 11.6........but theres a holiday and a wedding to go too, plus suddenly developed a sweet tooth!!

    Right, onwards and upwards..tea, green tea,cherry tea kiwi tea honey and ginseng green tea and chamomile and licorice tea available..and coffee of course

    Morning uncrazy ? Kuya? how are you? enjoy your 69?only had one but want another 68 of them!!!

    Morning ppq...-12 wow and theres me moanin about -3!! Has it stopped snowing there yet?not being selfish..but take as much as you want..that means less for here!!

    Morning YAH..how are you today? did you get the warmer weather?Cant remember which way round it is, but think its C to F roughly double it and add 31

    Good morning Lav..success ..a kid free day! whats on the agenda for the weekend? the same ..I think not..My mate has just built a large chicken coop..so free range eggs yum yum.Ive got a friend who keeps ducks..now thats what you call eggs!


    Cat buddy..mornin to you ..how are you? from the avatar..feet up ready for the weekend?Any plans?

    Mornin Cantoo.....you ok? Smiley face on? good.Yep cant wait to get some sun on the old bones..had a look not sure but think theres a volcano that you can climb..its already been made clear that Im on my own for that one!Bit of a difference from going out on an 8k snow trek!You enjoy it..and also your massages ..love em

    Morning SL..wow that takes me back a bit.. Baxters soup...its now Audrey Baxter.was reading the story The Baxters borrowed ?100 in 1868 to start the business so it aint done too bad.. there you are really bored you now
    Any plans for the weekend?

    Morning Turn again..loved your post..made me think a bit..we ll get wrapped up in our little worlds,with their problems..but sometimes (in bs speak)we need to look outside of the box and look at other issues going on around us and those less fortunate than ourselves..think we are all guilty of that one..thank you anyway.
    See even shovelling snow..you should be grateful..youve got a shovel

    Hi Kas..well well..so the kids are bringing the outlaws to see you?Nope pretty sure things will be fine...what do you mean taking umbrage at hubby powerwashing the drive?Did you not know that will be what they are interested in?Might be no food ..but at least the drive is immaculate!!As for swearing..yes Im sure that would be very uncharacteristic of you if perchance a wee word slipped out!

    Lills my mate ..how are you? lovely to "see"you posting at length..Im ever so sorry if I shocked you Lills..not really in my nature:H but hey .yep thats what Im bothered about..drinking on holiday...just need to extra focus on it.Its so completely different on holiday.Start with a pint at the airport..that signalled the hols beginning, and couple of Scotches on the plane,then really it was couple of drinks in the aft and with meals..nothing like hammering it down my face as is what normally happened in UK.tends to be the opposite on hols for me!Its case of breaking the habit really not that is alcohol..you could replace the al scenario with anything.
    Hope you enjoy when your mate comes over ..have a great time :l

    Morning SF.........how are you coping today?You can beat that feeling..I m not here to preach, but al will not make it go away..it might put it out of perspective for a while but it will still be there...take a look around you..Youve got a good job, good bosses good lifestyle..theres no reason why you shouldnt grieve for your friend if needs be..but not through the arse of a bottle.This isnt meant to sound harsh, and I apologise if it does..but why screw your own life up?Cmon be strong you can beat it :l

    Det..hi mate best of luck in the rifle shooting..what you firing?

    Right folksies thats me gorn..have a great weekend everyone..and also those that arent named

    I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

    Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

    Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.

    Having sex is like playing bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand.

    Did you know that dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish?

    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

    Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

    After (M)onday and (T)uesday even the week says WTF !!

    What's the difference between a northern fairytale and a southern fairytale? A northern fairytale begins "Once upon a time..." A southern fairytale begins "Y'all ain't gonna believe this shit..."

    Now I am just logging in for the jokes Mick

    Wierd day today....... Got a serious knock on the door from Dick head, I mean worst since day 3. But realised he was preceded by the four horsemen of the alcoholic ... Hungry, angry, lonely and tired (or are they the dwarves?). I was alone for the evening and got the thought of 'no one will know' ........arrrrgggghhhhhh ........RAN to the Glutamine, swallowed a spoonful and within 10 minutes was calming down. Shit....... You never know when it'll hit !

    Tucked up in bed now after a bit of a low evening but all is fine. Need a good nights sleep, I reckon, but waiting for daughter to be brought home from party.

    Now past my last quit time so uncharted territory, got a bit of the 'what now' feeling. I think I am bored. Went to join a gym but have to go back for paperwork.

    Hope you CaNaDa peeps are all safe and warm!

    Laters.........

          Morning KY, Satz, RC and Mick thanks for the coffee and the kickoff. It's -19C (-2F) out there but it has quit snowing. Going to take awhile to warm the car up before heading down to see my Dad. It's his 88th birthday today. Have a great time in Spain, when are you leaving, I've forgotten.

          KY...good job on the LGlut as even if nobody else knew, you would. It must have been the lack of celebrations re:69 :H When I had my 47 AF days slip I didn't have to tell anyone, and I wasn't going to. It just ate away at me and when I finally, tearfully confessed on here I felt so much better, almost immediately. Remember a crave is just a wave.

          Satz...if I recall it was you who started the 69 AF day celebrations wasn't it? Popped into the Army yesterday and all made me feel welcome. Will visit again today.

          RC...been seeing you around the boards as well as here and you sound really good. Keep it up.

          Time for cup #2 and some surfing. Have a great AF Saturday all and all to come....PPQ

            Good Saturday morning Abbers,

            The mid-west is sending some warm air this way for the next few days, I'm happy

            Thanks for the coffee Mick! Congrats on the weight loss!
            I am down 12 pounds so far this year which is good because I gained 13 when I quit smoking. Now I just have a few more I'd like to see disappear

            Greetings Kuya, Satz, RC & PQ!
            Hope everyone has a great AF day. Kuya, just keep the monkey mind quiet & you'll be OK

              Hi folkes, just a quick hi from happy Shue, who got hitched 12 years ago.

              After a neverending work week Mr. Shue and I shacked up at a lovely spa hotel. I am full of love and also wanted all of you to know you're in my thoughts, I read most of your posts but just did not have enough time to write anything.

              Have a great weekend, peeps !

                  Hello Fabbies! It's another pretty morning here. Supposed to get up into the 60's F today. I am so looking forward to a pleasant weekend, weather wise.

                  Mick, I'm excited that your mate has built a chicken coop. Free-range eggs are so good! I'm envious. I wish I had a wee bit of land so I could have chickens. In my county you have to have at least a 1/2 acre to have them. Thanks for the great jokes, too!

                  I'm glad you had the glutamine on hand, KY. Crisis averted. Now that you have passed your past achievement, just keep your eyes on the AF prize. You already did a good job last night, so I have faith that you can continue to keep AL in his place and out of your life!

                  Hi Satz and RC. Have a great day, all!

                  Thanks for the temperature conversion there, PPQ. Either way you slice it, it is COLD! Brrrrrr...... I hope you have a lovely time celebrating with your dad. Be careful!

                  Many of you would laugh so hard if you could see how just an inch or two of snow just makes the peeps around Washington, DC, completely freak out. When I lived in New Orleans, they used to send us home from work if there was even the POSSIBILITY of the roads freezing. It didn't get that cold often, but I used to think it was the best job bennie ever!

                  Lav, I am with you on the great weather approaching. I'm sure your chickies will like it too. Do chickens like eating stinkbugs, BYW?

                  Hi to CanToo, Kas, Lilly, Turn, Cat, SL and SF. Sending hugs for a good day. Sorry if I missed anyone.

                  Hugs,
                  :l

                      Morning, afternooon, and evening, all.

                      Mick, in answer to your question (and it's so nice to be a part of this; thanks for the taking the time, everyone), I am still planning out my weekend. Going for a hike this morning, and maybe brunch on Sunday. I'm thinking no to the latter, since I know it will be mimosas and bloody mary's. It's not the temptation, but rather sticking out that I can do without. With that social crowd, the brunch invite is just a reason to start drinking.

                      Also, need to plan some time with my son. I think a movie might be in order.

                      Kuya, you give me so much encouragement, I wanted to give some back. Maybe AL brain is fighting for its survival, and had been quietly planning its assault for a weak moment. Decisive battle win last night, and the forces are further weakened.

                      I would enjoy fresh eggs, but not the clean-up of owning chickens. Lav, I love your stories about owning chickens. Now Mick can share them, too.

                      Need to get myself out of bed. Check in later.

                        YahYah, I wish I could get my chickens interested in stink bugs
                        Several year back when we had a Japanese beetle problem here the chicken were right on those suckers!!! :H :H
                        Just had a brief rain shower. What happened to the sun?

                            Thanks Cat,( and everyone) but to you Cat tis really interesting for you to see how, no matter,how sweet it seems to be going a shitty day can still creep up and bite ya in the arse.
                            I don't use Glutamine routinely BUT I will always ensure I have some to hand. For me it is a lifesaver and works sooooo quickly to take that edge off. I also give it to my daughter when she has exams and even at 13 she says it helps low blood sugar and fatgue.

                            ( while I am on that subject I am so proud of her......she scored over 80% in all her exams and her sense of achievement is through the roof. She worked so hard with very little pushing and only help with Maths . She started this school this year and scored 53% at her first Maths exam, to pull it up to 83% just shows that everything in life is about the work we put in - it is a wonderful lesson for her future)

                              Although it wont last long as they have State trials at 9:30 so the peace will end shortly!!
                              KY. ... Sound like your daughter is doing fantastic at school, I love it when you see kids achieve so much xx
                              The weather is getting hotter here which is great, its going to reach the 30's this week its a shame that i will be too busy to enjoy it xx
