    before I go would like to say to a special friend Byrdlady..our thoughts are with you at this time..
    Byrdies father passed away earlier in the week

    Joke time

    just got a really big response to my advert on the internet saying ‘Wife wanted’. In about 2hrs I had over 300 emails saying ‘you can have mine’.

    Why can’t elephants go on the beach?
    Because they can’t keep there trunks up

    Why are men are like Ceramic Tiles?
    Because if you lay ‘em right and you can walk all over them for thirty years.

    “I went to a restaurant the other day called ‘Taste of the Raj.’ The waiter hit me with a stick and got me to build a complicated railway system.”

    “I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn’t looking good either.”

    “Behind every great man is a woman with a hostage.”


    “I hate my supervisor. Behind her desk it says. ‘You don’t have to be mad to work her, but it helps. ‘Mind you, she’s written it in her own shit.”

    What do you call a boomerang that doesn’t come back? – A stick.

    Why do seagulls live near the sea? Because if they lived near the bay, they’d be called bagels.

    What is small, red and whispers? – A hoarse radish.

    An overweight guy went to the doctor who advised him to try a keep fit DVD. But the guy said he couldn’t be bothered. “Well” suggested the doctor, “try something that leaves you a little short of breath.” So the guy took up smoking.”

    I play all my Country and Western music backwards – your lover returns, your dog comes back and you cease to be an alcoholic.”

    Canada: a country so square that even the female impersonators are women.

    My Dad is Irish and my Mum is Iranian, which basically means we spent most of our family holidays in customs.”

    “My daughter wanted some trainers. I said, you’re eleven. Go to Taiwan and make some.”

    “I took my husband to the hospital yesterday to have 17 stitches out – that’ll teach him to buy me a sewing kit for my birthday.”

    A shipment of Viagra was hijacked last week. Police are looking for two hardened criminals.

      af day Friday 4th

      Good morning, Mick and everyone!

      Didn't get around to posting yesterday, Mick, but have been reading everyone's posts. Thank you for asking about my dog. He seems a bit better, and I hope he sticks around for a little longer. He has such a good appetite, and gets around okay once he is up and out the door. He doesn't stay out long--just long enough to do his business--and ith the cold we've had, I don't blame either of the dogs for anting to stay in here by the nice fire!

      Cat, I hope that you and your son have a wonderful ski trip! You deserve it. Hope we see some pics!

      SF, I have read your posts about the therapist and AA. I feel pretty much the same about AA. It helped me last year when I needed it, but hearing the same old stories all the time did make me want to drink more when I went back last summer and once in the fall. I actually feel much closer to people on MWO than anybody in AA. We all have to do whatever it takes for us to stay AF. I also agree about the counselors. I had a not-so-good experience with one who is part of the AA group, and convinced me two years ago to go to a detox/rehab place. Horrible place, and I had to beg to leave after a week. and my insurance denied the claim and I am STILL paying this off. This counselor did nothing for me--except charge me $60 a session and convince me I needed to keep seeing her! And she did not help me at all last summer when I asked for help with the court. The second counselor I saw --manadatory counseling last for DUI--was much better, but still not a real therapist. I did see a therapist last year--I know her through an organization I help with--and she was much better and very neutral about AA. Good luck ith all of this!

      Met yesterday with the guy I have been doing part time work for, and he wants me to take on accounts for several of the companies he reps. I am going to do it--will mostly be a work-from-home job, but once I get my license back, I will probably have to go out once or twice a week, and will be responsible for my own expenses. I also applied for a job I saw in the local newspaper, but not sure which company it is, so will see if I hear anything.

      Still cold here, but it is supposed to get up around 30 degrees today--double what it was yesterday. I have a slight sore throat, and have to work today, but I am going to up my Vitamin C today and drink even more water than usual!! Everybody around here is sick with some bug or other. . .

      It is Mr TDN's birthday today, so we'll go out for dinner tonight or tomorrow night.

      Okay, hope you all have a great AF day!!

        Good morning Abbers,

        Overcast & chilly but it is winter!
        Thanks for the coffee Mick. I don't know what is causing my restlessness at night lately, maybe it's mental stuff more than the coffee
        No kid watching for me today so I will get myself out to Curves then back here in my shop to get some work done

        Greetings TDN & happy birthday to Mr TDN!
        I hope your day warms up a bit. Go get yourself some zinc, it's supposed to help ward off these viral things going around this time of year.
        So glad the job front is opening up for you
        MWO has been the best therapy for me. I can honestly say the group strength here helped haul me out of AL-HELL!

        Greetings to everyone & wishes for a great AF Friday!

              Morning all - get to work from home today, so sitting in my PJ's ready for the early morning conf call to start me off - then it is a wade thru the emails that accumulated over the break.
              The frost fairy was out last night and painted everything white, now the sun is out - I love the cold brisk days - but want to be out walking, not working - at least I have a lot of windows in my home and can see it!!
              Shepherds pie was good, but have not used HP suace with it - I have to use that sparingly as not the easiest to come by and love it on my baked beans on toast - another 'home' food!!
              On my second cuppa tea, thanks for the biccies today - like the milk chocolate ones the best:H
              Girls still snug as bugs in their nests, last day of winter break - then back to some sort of normalcy. Going to take down Christmas this weekend - that will keep me busy, like the decorations, but always glad to put away and get a tidy house again.
              Day 5 feeling nice and steady, even sleeping at night pretty well. Sorry you are tossing and turning Lav, it is not fun - hope it settles out.
              TDN, it has been a heck of a trip for you - but it seems that you maybe making progress? I hope the work things sort out for you and you can get sorted out. I have always had a touch of envy hearing you tlak about working in a flower shop - in my dreams that would be an ideal place to work - for my pick me up treat it is a bunch of flowers - love them!
              Hi Pauli - see you busy on a couple other threads I have stuck my nose in - all seems to be going well for you!
              Hope everyone has a great TGIF, will check in later with you all and looking forward to a lovely af Friday!

                      Agreed.

                      :yay: it's Friday. Back to the gym day and I noticed I enjoyed being 'put to my paces'. Also discovered that the week out of the gym gave my muscles time to heal and I Was STRONGER. Quite a nice feeling.

                      K, can't remember if I posted a shot from the XC skiing or not. Now I have to admit, my friend got this shot, I'll post mine next, but her's was better.

                      Have a calm and relaxing Friday night Abers. Tomorrow is the weekend.

                            Beautiful CanToo!!!
                            Well, took decorations down, then cleaned house - feels lovely and open without the tree and other stuff.
                            My youngest and I had fun hoovering and dusting, all the cat hair gone and dust bunnies sucked up! I asked her what she wanted for supper - her choice as she worked so hard - she asked fro chinese take out, which is her favourite, but I never get as I woudl be halfway thru my wine and not able to drink - so very very nice saying sure and now I am sitting here full of chinese food (know I will wake up feeling hungover due to the salt, but it will be a joy knowing that it is not wine!!)
                            Happy Friday all...
