Bear - understand where you are at but remember you are always welcome here. I agree with the others that it is actually easier to deal with the other stuff once you are AF but we are all different and at different stages of our life.
I have that I lost quite a bit of weight once I stopped the booze - but actually increased my food intake instead of dieting. And I am post menopausal - when weight is even harder to shift.

Take care Dear Bear!

:nutso::H Sorry. It's early and I'm a bit slow. Hope your birthday lunch goes well; if he had some Scottish genes, he could combine this year's and next year's into the one lunch:H

Cat - so sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you're recovering well.
SF - I am regularly getting to my destination and forgetting something. If it's my purse, I usually find out at the check-out:upset:

Mick - will post a box of mandarins , COD! I love the smell of them - remind me of my Christmas stocking - with the torch, chocolate and...? can't think what else right now.

Hi di ho to everyone doing so well. Bear, hope you figure it out soon and come back posting of your successes.

I won't say bye, bear, just see you later! I know it's hard, and I slipped many times before I got it right. (I'm still working on keeping it right.) I hold much hope for your ultimate success. :l

Hi to everyone else, TT and blondie are already in tomorrow.

Not much to say here. I'm just trying to drum up some more business and looking into a part-time job--also trying to straighten up preparatory for Maddie arriving back here in two weeks' time.

My garden is going haywire, except for the zucchini! They don't have the borers, but some sort of blight. I've started some new plants on the other end of the garden.

I hope you continue to improve, Cat.

I'm glad things are finally starting to dry out, PPQP.

Hi to Mick, SF, Cinders, Det and the rest of the crew.

Hugs,
YahYah :l

MAE abbers! It's hot hazy humid here! Visited a friend who has a new hot tub. I thought now why would we want to sit in hot water on the hottest day of the year? But the heat was off and it was wonderful. When we got out the breeze kept us cool. I'd love to buy one. Yes I had a fleeting thought of a glass of wine in my hand, but then I had a sip of my iced hibiscus rosehip tea and decided I don't even really like the idea of wine any more! I've come a long way and I'm thankful for that every day!

Bear I too was in your shoes. I took breaks as well. In my case I should not have, but if I wasn't committed it was always going to be a struggle. And the board always welcomed me back.

Mick I tried those glasses on.....they don't work anymore

PPQ.....we get the commercials about how a family always has to sit down every night and have dinner together. All we can do is the best we can. Stopping drinking is a huge improvement in my parenting

Blondie...had the purse....no wallet:H
