      af day Fri 21st..oh no its the end of the world

      Good morning, Mick!

      Thanks for the coffee, jokes and--the pics of your home! Looks really lovely! I especially love the sunroom. It's my favorite place in our house, too. What is the large glass structure to the right? The name escapes me--brain cramp. Solarium? I think it mus be the neighbors'? Anyway, looks like you'll be in a nice place for "Chrimbo."

      Up at 4:30 this a.m. I was asleep by 10:30 after another long day at the shop. Knackered (I love that word, and originally thought it meant drunk:H) Never did get my tree made, as the "boss" arrived just after I did at 8:15, and the craziness started right aay! Hoping to get it started at least this a.m. I know that my major problem is lack of real exercise, and I need to start a program after Jan 1. I was limping around like an old lady last night:H

      The friend who gor me the part time sales work emailed me about a full time job in the same field (educational sales) and she has given my contact info to the manager. I would be a great fit, but I live outside the major territory, and traveling to NY and NJ wouldn't thrill me. But it does look like the majority of work is done from home, and travel is for conferences and exhibits. I will look into it, although Mr TDN was crazed when I mentioned it. And ith a background check and that Interlock on my car--may not make me a good candidate anyway.

      PQ--I am SO sorry for what you are going through! Everything hitting you at once. That BIL should not have contacted you, given the circumstances of your divorce and all. You do have to look out for yourself first. I completely relate, as I have always put others first and have tried to make them happy while I as suffering myself. I know it's one of my character defects, as AA teaches, and still find myself falling into that. Lack of self esteeem--yup, that will do it. But you have done so well, have come so far amidst terrible problems, and AL would start the cycle of horror all over again! I'm glad that your last post was around midnight, so no chance of getting any booze Stay here and vent away. We all understand. And, if it helps, use me as an example. Hearing the "hearings officer" at the RMV look at me and tell me that I would have a THIRD offense if I got another DUI in that state, and that means jail--for a long time. And the financial damage from all of this? Don't even want to think about it.

      Can, hope that son learns a lesson! Sometimes I am happy that I never had kids.

      Det--hang in and do whatever it takes.

      SL--gummy bears beat AL any day I have been eating a lot of sweets (at work) and for right now, I am not beating myself up. Jan 1 is coming!

      SF--hope you are okay. I banged my head yesterday and have a bruise and saw stars for a moment, and thought of you and the head injury. Hope it's better.

      Pauly, RC, Cat, Lav, KY, YahYah, Blondie and all the rest--have a great AF day!

        af day Fri 21st..oh no its the end of the world

        Hidehi campers!

        Thanks for the start Mick my man.....and how are you?

        My moods are still yoyoing wildly but now it is through the day rather than a daylong thing WIERD

        Cantoo ...... At 17 I was probably foul, I know I challenged everything. Good to know your kid is normal

        SL ..... Like Cantoo said .....up the L glut rather than sugar, it will stabilize your blood glucose. You too DET ....... Off to Lost Wages? Would love to see it..... I still find the unabashed decadence fascinating. Gambling bores me but watching gamblers would fascinate me. Our biggest casino here is seedy in comparison.

        PPQ ..... You OK today? Listen I know it is hard going but the moods ATM color everything. Take less on, get more sleep and try and remember that if you were no longer around these emotional sponges would survive. Just care for YOU......:l:l

        Pauly ......you sound better these last few days. I think you needed a check in point. When you are flitting around you feel a little isolated. I post all over but this would be my 'home', even though we are rarely all on at the same time.

        Hiya TDN......getting your life back together must feel good. Hard time of year though so don't overdo it......like PPQ ...... Get plenty of sleep.

        LAV ...... Did you have a good birthday? Saw the piccie of your Gson ...awwwww

        Blondie .... How hot today? I love NZ .... Never too hot.....never too cold..... But still has seasons ...... Perfect

        No frogs tonight YAY, and a later start tomorrow morning, then shopping :upset:.....I HATE shopping

        Hi to anyone I have missed, have a great day wherever you are

          Morning all. Thanks for the terrific start Mick. I'm sure the check is in the mail for all your early morning work. I'll take my tea in bed this morning. It sure sounds like the end of the world here. Wind and rain lashing at the windows. Well if we go today I'll be at home because Im not going out in this mess. Going to wander the threads a bit I'll be back later.

            Thanks for all your support and help yesterday I sure did need it.

            No visit to the liquor store so ok on that front, for the rest of it the jury's still out.

                Hi, Nurdl Good idea to stay home! A mess here, as we got snow and freezing rain and schools are called off today. Mr TDN hates driving in this, even though the shop is only ten minutes away, so waiting for him to decide we can lea:Hve

                  Good morning Abbers,

                  So glad we are all still here. So much for predictions, huh?

                  Lovely pics Mick! You need some snow to blanket your outdoor space

                  PQ, take everyone's advice & focus on yourself. Stick close to us today & draw on our collective strength & help yourself to some of my Lavan-ittude

                  Greetings Nurdl, Kuya, Cantoo, TDN & everyone! Where are Satz & Shoe these days?

                  Had tons of rain here last night, wind that knocked out the power for a few minutes overnight but all is calm at the moment. I'm off to Curves & the market. Yes I am having the entire crew here for dinner & gifts Christmas eve so lots of prep work today!!!

                  Have a terrific AF Friday everyone!

                    Love your pix, Mick! What a beautiful serene place you have there!

                    I'm just flying in to say hi; I actually start work at what others would consider a normal time today.

                    PPQ, I'm glad you are cried out. Your BIL was out of line to ask you. Your ex needs new people to suppport him. You need your own friends to support you. People ask outrageous things sometimes. Your job is, indeed, to take care of yourself, and that means avoiding any crazyness you can to not drink.

                    At any rate, I've gotta run. I'll check in later!

                    Hugs,
                    :l

                        thanks Mick for starting us up on the 'end of the world day'. seems pretty un-ending so far but we'll see...

                        PPQ any better state of mind? eating ok?

                        Hippyman, same member called hippie previously? just curious, welcome either way!

                        feeling much more humanoid-like today. back in the paleo eating mode and healthy lifestyle. now to get through the early slippery days and get this AF-mobile a few miles down the road to stable territory.
                        going to try for a mild hike this Sat with AF friend

                        back soonish. be well!

                          Hi Det...doing better today, the anger and the crying has stopped.

                          Going through a bit of anxiety today but I will get through it.

                          At least I didn't hit the liquor store so that's a plus.

                          Thanks for all your support yesterday it was much appreciated. :l

                          Guess I really needed to hear that I can come first and there's nothing wrong with that.

                          You sound better as well and yes I actually just finished eating even though it's noon here.

                          Enjoy your hike tomorrow...-20 here today so not outside for any length of time....PPQ
