    af Saturday 15 Dec...9.5 shopping days!!

    Good morning, Mick, and all to come.

    Watching the news again, and this horrific tragedy in CT, which is not too far from me, is just overwhelmingly sad. I had a customer in that town, and remember it being so beautiful and seemingly "perfect." How this happened is beyond our comprehension. So many lives lost, and so many affected forever. Makes any of my issues seem trivial at this point.

    Trying to get to court to start the process of getting my license straightened out, and it's hard because I have to get to the court 2 1/2 hours away. Hoping I can get to my sister's and have her take me to the court on Monday--or Tuesday, if e get the snow we maight tomorrow.

    Work today for four hours or so, and will be happy to be busy.

    Have a great AF day, all.

      Hi Affers
      Coming out of the lurking closet cause I can't stop laughing at Mick's jokes (no, really!). Great reading and after all these years here never thought I'd be an in the serious (for me) abstinence league. 10 months Coming up to 2 difficult periods but I don't feel any desire to drink, just be strange having sober Christmas, birthdays, etc.

      Just a quick fly-by as I'm heading to bed (are we Antipodeans tipping the balance yet?)

      On a more sombre note, my heart goes out to those families in Connecticut, Horrific beyond words.

      Hope I can particpate more often.

      And Lav, thanks for the Haggis Hunt heads up (haven't won anything yet, but I'm hoping not to win the night at St Andrews or we'll have an expensive trip on our hands :H)
      Nightie-night

        Morning Mick...thanks for the kickoff and the coffee. Just had to check on the 14+ as some things are just not in the Urban Dictionary. :H

        Although it's pretty early I'm feeling much more grounded and that little black cloud seems to be dissipating...thank dog! It'll make for a much nicer visit with my Dad today.

        Got the account info from the poa's yesterday and as anticipated it's just more of the same old crap.
        Will be working on a summary report for the lawyer over the weekend and it looks like it's court on Tuesday.

        Morning TDN...hope you work the logistics out and get to court. I know the feeling of just wanting to get everything sorted! Just in case...:angel:"PP":angel:

        :hallo:Blondie...he does grow on you doesn't he...and :welcome: to the serious abstinence league lol, glad to see you "out of the closet"...have a good sleep.

        Time for cup #2 and some surfting, have a great AF Saturday all and all to come...PPQ

          Welcome to Blondie,

          WTF ! Now you have told Mick his jokes are so good he can get people out of the closet.

          Next he will be setting up as a sexuality counselor ! :H:H

          Awesome on your 10 months, can't wait to be you



          On a more serious note ....... It has taken me only two minutes, that is 120 seconds to type this message. In that time 120 children have died of starvation while we were wealthy enough to consume enough alcohol to make ourselves sick and now many of us spend a lot of our time trying to reduce our calorie intake or running around burning off the excess calories we have consumed.

          Each child that dies EVERY second of EVERY day lived a horrible short tragic life........

          Makes you think ......

            Good morning Abbers,

            Up bright & early even though I didn't feel like it - oh well.
            I am watching kids for the first half of the day Mick

            Greetings TDN, hope everything works out for next week. This is the moment you have long waited for

            Hello Blondie & congrats on your 10 AF months!
            Glad you decided to join us
            The Haggis Hunt is stupidly enjoyable :H

            Hi PQ! Hope yuo are able to square away your legal work as well.

            Still feeling much sorrow for yesterday's tragic shooting victims.
            Let's all have a peaceful day!

              Hello, all. TDN, it must be even more difficult living so close to Newtown. I can hardly think of anything else.

              I'm having a hard time concentrating, even though I have lots I should be doing today. Hopefully, I'll get something done.....

              Today I am feeling very grateful for the fact that I got to see my daughter grow up, and I can still hold her close. I am grateful for all of you--your laughter and fun, your empathy--as we pursue our serious sober journeys.

              Extra hugs,
              :l :l :l

                  Hi all,

                  Mick, thanks for the new round of jokes. I keep trying to memorize a few to entertain at parties!

                  TDN, I feel for you with the DUI. I went through that two years ago, and it was absolutely horrible. I will share this - now being AF, I drive with a peace of mind I missed post my DUI. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

                  Kuya, I got my lab results back, and saw the hormone balancing doctor. I am way undermedicated for the thyroid problem, even have an enlarged gland at this point. Whew. It's not due to AL recovery. So, I will be increasing my meds and looking for a new general practitioner, which is very difficult to find where I live. But I will find one, and start on a better road for 2013. I slept 12 hours last night (!), once again due to the crap failed thyroid hormone in my body. Let this be the beginning of energy again.

                  Cantoo, I'm going for a hike, even though it's cold, wet and muddy here. You are my inspiration!

                  Hi SL, SF, PPQ, Lav, RC (if he's here), Blondie (welcome back!), Det and everyone else! Have a great AF Saturday, and I'll be hugging my son a lot today.

                    Just wanted to express my sincere condolences to my American friends on here over the recent deaths in CT. I especially thought of the people here on the eastern seaboard, TDN you sprang to mind immediately.

                      Cat, I can imagine how relieved you are to have finally found out hat's been causing the fatigue! I'm sure you'll start feeling better almost immediately once the meds kick in. Very happy for you!

                      Trying not to listen to the news over and over, as the whole shooting thing is just too terrible to imagine. A woman I know came into the shop today--she is a substitute teacher at the local middle school. District where I spent the last five years of my teaching career in the nineties. Told me there is one kid who is taken out in handcuffs just about weekly by the school resource (police) officer, and she has actually been afraid that he'd do something terrible to her or another teacher!! She won't be returning next year.

                      I am probably going to get a train to get don by my sister, and she can pick me up and I'll spend the night at her house and she or her asisitant can drop me at the court on Monday. Doubt I can also get to a RMV that day, but need to see if there is a specific one I need to show up at and wait to see a hearings officer. Not sure if I'll head home by train Monday night or what, but I know I have to work next Weds thru Fri or Sat. I haven't been at my sister's since May of 2011, and I used to stay there regularly when I as on the road. Not sure what she has told my 13 yr old niece. And I feel a bit "wobbly" knowing my sister and her assistant--a 70 yr old woman ho gets free rooms and board for doing errands and driving my niece around--will surely be having their nighly wine. I ill probably take them to dinner, but they'll be drinking during and after, as we always did.

                        Yay for Cat!

                        I am soooooo glad you have found the reason for the fatigue and it isn't booze. Makes me wonder if you had been using the kick of booze to mask the low thyroid.
                        It is funny I only realised that I was worried in case it sent you back to drinking. You have been so solid in your recovery and such a positive force on here.

                        So happy for you Cat

                        Mick.....how does it feel knowing that you possess the power to bring folks outta the closet?!:H
