Hi there. How are we all today? Its Tuesday here ? still darkish but I can hear those birdies.
Here is some tea for anyone and coffee comes out soon. Birds have to wake up a bit first.
Thanks for everyone?s warm wishes about my downward spiral ? and for the in yer face jokes ? PPQP and Mick. Yes, I laughed. But I also thought it was very sweet of you.
Bear ? you are doing so well ? are you finding it easier as you go along? Certainly sounds like it. Its best not to call in sick if you can make it in ? no point in delaying meetings/presentations/icky work situations. It also can make you feel guilty and devious (staying at home) and those feelings are not good for us ? as devious is one of the middle names of an alkie. I know you are not calling yourself that but you are in good company here!
Also bosses and co-workers have a pretty good idea of sickies or when people are avoiding meetings. They can be judgemental and make assumptions about why someone is on sick leave. I don?t like these rumours at all because it is in most workers? contracts that they can take sick leave and of course this includes mental sickness as well.
On the other hand ? you do have a cold and you don?t want to go to work if you are infectious ? and often rest is best for a cold.
Bet we all know those office martyrs ? who soldier on ? and infect the crew.:durn: (being a martyr is also an alkie trait ? but of course not just for alkies).
OK- that's my rant!
Mick ? I see there has been a big prison riot in the UK altho not in your neck of the woods. I can imagine this piqued your interest. How are the November chills? Was there a power cut? Sorry you lost your thread yesterday ? how maddening! :upset:Sorry I was not up to starting the thread yesterday.
Congrats on being AF for 16 months!! :wd:
Lav ? you mentioned a few days ago the ALC levels in wine. Yes they are indeed high here but apparently they are underestimated in many countries ? see this study

Sam ? you are speaking in riddles again (at least for me). Is ?black powder? season ? the hunting season? What critters do they hunt?
PPQP ? snow yet in your area? Probably not but Sunshine mentioned there was some where she lives.
Pauly ? yes, I knew you had started drinking again ? although I didn?t know how bad it was. Have you stopped? Any plans for how you can handle the quit this time ? and how we can help?
Sounds like you had a great weekend SF. Hope the week goes really well with you and the boys.
Cinders ? you too - did you go to church?
Gidday Yah. Hope all is well.
Hi there to all others. You OK Det?
Have a great sober Tuesday and I might pop in later if the work or domestic fairies let me. Its Guy Fawkes Day here - remembering when there was an attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament in England. People set off fireworks and sometimes burn a 'Guy' on a bonfire.
nfire: We don't get into it at my place.

Glad I have it now so by time I am on holiday next Tuesday it will have gone/be over the worst. Meeting went ok - and I'm glad to have that over with.
