    af Tuesday 19 November

    MAE abberoos ? weather report ? mild warm day.

    I made a mistake! header was wrong so this is the correct one. I made a mistake!:eeks:

    Anyone here in the tornado zone in the mid-west US? Just heard about the destruction there.

    Further north - Sounds like that was quite a blizzard PPQP ? and now you have another snow bunny with you ? Narilly.
    Welcome Narilly and well done on being AF since 1 Nov. The days soon mount up and the only health warning on this thread are Mick?s jokes! I wasn?t a member of MWO in 2006 or 2009 ? so it must have been another treetops. I joined in 2012.

    Lav and PPQP- I thought the doco was pretty good and although it was harrowing it had some hope. It was also good to see a pleasant female front the show. It didn?t just show lads and ladesses out binge drinking ? also young mother alkies at home. It mostly concentrated on the physical health aspects. The schools here do a pretty good job of showing scary docos on AL and drug abuse to young people ? and in our case my daughter had first hand insight at home (for which I regret).

    Mick ? off to the grad today. Safe travels and don?t get a sore bum from all the sitting!

    Pauly ?you stick with us and we will look after you. There are so many posts on MWO that come and go. I have a squizz now and again and for a while I followed the baclofen threads closely as I am very interested in how that treatment is saving the lives of alkies.
    Try not to get too stressed out with Xmas ? you have a big family so I guess it will be expensive.

    Mick ? I think you asked me about Xmas plans. Just me, partner and daughter ? renting a house by a beautiful lake for a few days ? and hoping to cook, eat, chill and do some hiking. I have already

    I decided to decline another stressful Xmas with my extended family ? its just not worth it and if we want to share the love we can do it with those members of the family we really do love at another time.
    Food plans include - French Yule Log (Buche de Noel) and some Danish treats. Also lots of yummy summer stone-fruit here at that time of the year.

    You all have a lovely Tuesday ? hi there to SF, Det, Sun, Yah and all others ? I better start my working day.

        Good Tuesday morning Abbers & it is the 19th day of November

        TT, I also have stopped trying to get extended family together for Christmas - too much stress
        I haven't even bothered the last few years to walk across the yard to my brother-in-law's for his Christmas Eve open house. The last time I did a drunken guest bounced into me before I even had my coat off. No Fanks!!!!

        Hope the graduation is wonderful today Mick!!!

        Greetings Sam & everyone else dropping by today.
        I have lots & lots to do to keep me out of trouble today & that's just perfect

        Have a wonderful AF Tuesday one & all!

              MAE everyone!

              I'm back in the land of hydro and technology! Whew. Wild weather yesterday. Blowing like Jack the bear and the temperatures up and down like a yo-yo. There even was white stuff :upset:

              Nothing new to report here.. feeling a bit blah (and this wretched cold ain't helpin'). Got a doc's appointment after lunch, gonna try to get the ball rolling and doing something about my back. I really don't enjoy being crippled all the time.

              That's it, that's all.. hope you all are well!
              Okay, WHO put a stop payment on my reality check?

                Hi Everyone!
                I am at work and it is a Great but COLD day here, -23Celsius with windchill!!! I walked to work anyway, it takes 1/2 hour and I was bundled up in my fantastic winter coat, gloves, boots, turtleneck, hood etc. Yup, life up here is fun
                Thanks for all your support everyone. TreeTops, glad you got the day right! Maybe I read your posts after you joined in 2012. I kept coming back over the years.

                Pauly, it sure helps when you don't have drinking buddies at work. My co worker thinks its great that I stopped drinking. And a guy co worker of mine (I'm a girl) has gone to work in Ft Mac. Which is Really good for me since he liked to drink a lot and could infuence me easily.
                Lavande- ya, I totally get that, not hangin out with extended family, too much stress.
                Sunshine- take care of that back, back pain is the worst!

                Lovin my non drinking life! I can actually plan the weekend and Do things in the Morning!! Who would have thought.

                  Guys- how do I become a Senior Member?
                  Do I have to get a subscription?

                    I think you become a senior member after 1000 posts. Thats all.
                    Looks like I will be a junior for a while yet! Not important.

                      MAE ALL...

                      Mick..I thought poets day was Friday :H Hope you had a great day at the grad.

                      TT and Lav...I'm with you. Was just reading the 100 day thread and I could write a novel about extended family.

                      Pauly...those holiday office parties can be deadly. Glad you've made your mind up on that one.

                      Sam...hope you had a good day. Got those acres surveyed yet?

                      Sunni...yup we all have those blah days. Hope the doc visit gets things going for your back. Take care.

                      Narrily...no way I'd be walking 1/2 hr to work in this weather. Yup, TT's got it right. 1000 posts and you're an expert You sound so up and positive. Keep it up.

                      Well the catering staff was a no show for a luncheon at the centre today so I'm exhausted serving/busing for 150 people. But we got lunch out of it. Just a short rest and a coke before making cabbage rolls, perogies and borscht soup for din din. Stay warm everyone and watch out for sunburns to the upside downers.....PPQP

                        Jeez, I thought I would be senior just for being around so long. Lol

                          Narilly - you just need to develop the 'gift of gab' like the rest of us & you'll have your Senior member status in no time :H :H

                          PQ - you made my favorite soul food
                          Did I mention that I actually figured out how to make pretty decent dairy & gluten free perogies?? OMG, my fav food :H
                          Sounds like you worked your little tail off today - good for you!

                          Sunni, I really hope you get some relief for your back soon - that stinks!

                          Hi Pauly!
                          Det, are you OK?

                            late check in
                            PQ, still working on it. we're about to get to another portion of uncharted territory that hasn't been 'veyed since late 1890's-1900. I know darn well the trees called for are long gone, hopefully someone eithr planted rocks or stuck an iron in the ground.

                            Narilly, I thought senior may be an age thing, joking aside, other sights have the same thing, and as you say, really no big thing
