Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.

If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea... does that mean that one enjoys it?

You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.


The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.

I have never understood why women love cats. Cats are independent, they don't listen, they don't come in when you call, they like to stay out all night, and when they're home they like to be left alone and sleep. In other words, every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat.


According to a new survey, women say they feel more comfortable undressing in front of men than they do undressing in front of other women. They say that women are too judgmental, where, of course, men are just grateful.

Money talks...but all mine ever says is good-bye.

I saw six men kicking and punching the mother-in-law. My neighbour said 'Are you going to help?' I said 'No, six should be enough.'

I had a big chat with hubbie about it and how I was dreading it --- just feel so much better about it now - even able to look at the christmas ads on tele!! I s'pose I've been so used to having a mob here on the day 'twill be funny this year cos there'll potentially only be three of us - and one of the three is a teenager so can't really just 'cancel' it! I AM NOT spending the mad money this year tho --- just don't have it and buggered if I'm gonna spend a coupla months next year just trying to catch up...... so Economymolly this year

My family pride ourselves on not blowing out financially at Christmas. Tis all about food, family and fun. The boys have said they want no alcohol involved, partly for me and partly cos it actually spoils the fun with hangovers. I am always a bit grinchy but am gonna make an effort this year...... My first SOBER christmas ever!

Morning RC, Molly, KY, Ronnie and Mick thanks for the coffee and the kickoff.

I usually log in and hit the "New Posts" button and up popped "PPQ Has 90 Days"
Wow, I couldn't believe it. The thought was "hey that's me!"
Had a quick read and will go back and reread and respond but had to post here first, as it is home.

:thanks: so much for the congrats everyone you've all put a big on my face. And I have to admit it feels pretty damn good!

Off to get my first cuppa and since it's a holiday here I'm going to relax and enjoy the day.
I will definetly check back once the energy levels start moving.

Have a great AF Monday all and all to come....PPQ

Hi everyone! I'm overwhelmed already with all the posts! A gal can't get up too early on this thread; someone has always posted before.

PPQ, congrats on 90! It is a wonderful accomplishment. Lav is right, holidays are great sober.

Molly, 3 people are about right, and KY, I'm all for a more economical Christmas. The presents are fun and all, but I know so many people who are in debt for MONTHS afterward. It shouldn't take excessive presents to make people happy.

Mick, me man, I am enjoying your jokes trememdously--even the bad ones! I guess someone else will have to come up with what you might be doing on Sunday mornings, since the places you mentioned mean nothing to me. LOL

Hi Ronnie, Lav, and any others I'm not naming by name. I hope you all have a great day.

I'm chuffed up because my New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens both won their games yesterday. The Washington Redskins had a week off, so there was no reason to get depressed, either! My daughter and I text back and forth throughout the games; it's almost like we're watching them together.

It was nice picking up my 3-month chip at AA yesterday. Several members were feeling very bad about some stuff in their lives, and they got a lot of loving. It brought tears to my eyes--there but for the grace, ya know?

Hugs,
:l
YahYah
