    MAE everyone
    Thought I better start the Wed thread as I will be too tired later to post. Like Lav and others I have just been too busy to write much and then when I do write I just can?t think of what to say. I also need to be sitting at the computer as I hate writing long messages on the I-pad or the phone. And the computer equals work for me ? so I get distracted from MWO :H- usually the other way around isn?t it? Even FB has been suffering lately!:H

    Yah ? please no sister thread. I guess in a warped way ? at least you are communicating with your sisters. I speak to mine about once every 3 months on the phone (she does not do FB) and while its lovely to chat she is very wrapped up in her own outlook and world. For years she made judgemental comments about my drinking and then when I stopped ? she has never had a word of encouragement. Last time we spoke I said I hadn?t had a drink for 15 months and she said ?is that all?? And then she went on to compare quitting AL to like giving up too much cake. Willpower. That's all. Although I couldn?t see her ? I visualised her tight little lips. The problem there is that her husband has an AL problem (its not that severe) but its one of those elephants in the room ? so I guess she is in denial.

    Sam ? I think you asked me recently about farming? Well its my sister who does that ? not me. Hope your farm is thawing out and the fencing is not causing too much swearing.

    Sounds like you are really in for a tropical spring break PPQP. Hope you enjoyed the pizza.

    How?s it going Pauly? Keep your positive vibes going but don?t forget to see the doctor if need be.

    Mick ? all packed? I am off overseas in 2 months and already starting to panic. It's a big trip for me and there is a lot to plan. Are you taking malarial tablets? Be careful ? some of them have awful side effects. Don?t forget the sunblock ? and the hand sanitizer. I can make a list if you want:H but I bet Julie has done that.

    I started watching Pierrepoint the other night - its set in Stangeways and I thought of you. I didn't finish the movie though - it was a bit long and drawn out - only so many hangings one can watch.

    Lav ? sounds like your party went well. I cooked a special meal for my daughter?s 16th birthday. Pauly will be very pleased to know that it was very pink as well (strawberry cake, strawberry icecream, pink flowers, pink Doc Martens, pink pyjamas, pink bath oil, pink lipbalm, - but the special necklace we gave her was blue!). All went well and she loved it.

    SL ? hope the week is going well. You seem to get more vulnerable to AL as the week goes on ? Friday/Sat ? not surprisingly. seem to be your tender moments. Might be good to be fore-warned and plan ahead a bit.

    SF ? you seem well and to be finding new ways to explore life. Its great to see how positive going AF has been for you.

    I wonder how Det is? Hope you are well mate.

    Has anyone sent a PM to Narilly? She has been missing from the boards (I think) for some time.
    OK ? well I better return to the grindstone - or the daily hell Sam so eloquently referred to. Mine isn't fencing - its the bloody keyboard and the pen and paper. :H

    Have a great Wed when the moon and sun come your way.

    Hi - just had a quick read to see what tomorrow is like.
    TT - interesting - my last falls have started to catch me mid week, so I will put brain into alert - I have promised Mick and myself only the one red dot for February..
    Narilly has been spotted on the ladies on a mission thread and last I saw seemed to be doing ok...
    Will check back tomorrow (today - whatever!!)
    Happy hump day all to come!

      Now hes meeting a man about soil.

      A hard working chap as ever you sees
      A life plagued with cattle and stinging wee bees
      Will he ever win the battle
      To mend them fences to keep in the cattle?

      have a good one!

      hiya tt ..how are you?ok..Strangeways ..now thats a blast from the past...I worked with someone who was really big mates with Albert Pierrepoint .think when he retired...he used to have a pub in Cheetham Hill called "help the poor struggler"
      In the chapel at the prison,there used to be little passage behind the altar, with a slot that you could open to see into the chapel.this was where they used to measure and size up the prisoner when he was praying before the execution for the length of rope required for the drop...its also where the riots started in 1990!!anyway I digress..as for lists..Julies got a list of lists..as for sunblock..loads of it..and pills and first aid..jeez could do an operation with the amount!! PINK DOC MARTENS???boy did I miss out in life!!:H

      The police have arrested a man after receiving several complaints that he was riding a bicycle along the M25.

      The main complaint was that he was travelling five times as fast as everyone else.

      As I approached the teller in the bank yesterday, she asked me if I wouldn't mind removing my motorcycle helmet.

      "Not bloody likely," I said. "Next you'll be asking me to drop this sawn-off shotgun."

      Just received a phone call from my wife saying she was to stay overnight at her mother's tonight. Finishing my cigarette, I said to the woman sleeping next to me: 'tell your daughter shes lying

      think about it.....

      I walked into the Chinese with my wife "Hello, I've a table booked under the name of Smith" I told the waiter.

      "Sorry sir, no booking under name of Smith" came the reply "We fully booked now".

      "I believe there's been some sort of mistake" I protested "I booked this table a month in advance"

      Then i realised we were in the Wong Foo King Restaurant.

      There was a huge public protest in my town when BT announced they would soon remove the last public phone box because it was unprofitable.

      We organised it on Facebook via our mobiles.

      My girlfriend's son is so fat, every time I see him I have to pull a happy meal from behind his ear

      "I watched that programme today, the one with all the cheap nasty antiques on it." I said to my mate.
      "You mean Bargain Hunt?" He replied.

      "No, Loose women."

      I hate living next to Heathrow.

      Every time I use my mobile phone I have to ask all the planes to stop flying, as they interfere with the technology.

      Two things were strange about today.
      Firstly, my Nan's hand picked, homemade mushroom soup tasted funny.
      Secondly, a purple unicorn took a crap on my lawn.

      I had just finished buying a new laptop on Amazon today and the form asked me for the address of the card holder.

      How the feck am I supposed to know where the person who I stole the wallet off lives?

      The wife and I were having a massive row.
      "I'm so disappointed in you," she said. "When we got married I thought you were a brave man."
      "Yes," I replied, "and so did all my my friends."

      A member of the local Psychic group came into our shop with promotion leaflets for their latest event today.
      And if she's any good at it, she already knows that I'm not going to attend

      I'm going to the gym now.

      I'm not bragging, I just want you to know where to send the ambulance.

        Good morning Abbers & Happy Hump day!

        Yep, it's snowing again this morning - same old story!
        The house is warm & I don't have to go anywhere right now so I won't complain
        I see there some big rain on the way for the west coast where it's been so dry for so long.

        TT, your 'pink birthday' celebration sounds fabulous, glad your daughter enjoyed the pinkness :H
        It's taken me nearly 60 years to realize just how blessed I really am to have brothers who simply turned their backs & ignored me. I don't think I could tolerate a fussy, nagging sister!

        Greetings SL, Mick & everyone!
        No big plans for today but I do want to get to Curves in a bit.
        Feeling sluggish - end of the winter, that cooped up too long feeling needs to go :H

        Wishing everyone a great AF Wednesday!!

                  Congrats on your sons birthday Pauly. I confess I got very emotional and a bit sad on my girls birthday. Silly but she is my only child and I love her to pieces. I kept my sad feelings to myself this year. When I used to drink it would have become over whelming and possibly spoiled things. Maudlin drunk mum no more please!:H

                        I have not done well this week. work called me in early to depart sunday which I did inspite of a horrible stomache buch. at a about west sarramento i shit myself on the highway and nearly crashed. I pulled into a sleezy hotel to clean up. feeling sorry for myeslf I walked over to the 7/11 and picked up a six pack, laid there in bed drinking cheap beer and wondering what the feck I'm doing on planet earth. I've been in q quandary every since and starting today i began journaling. I'm going to take DX's advice and see a cognitive behavioral techniction or whatever they are called these days. pretty down, not fun and sorry to be a turd in the punchbowl.

                        sigh

                          sorry I'm ranting/venting but my dear wife deserves better. when I see the look of pain and despair in her eyes it just crushes me. she deserves the thoughtful man that she took the hand of. I just can't bear the thought of prematurely killing myself with this selfish disease. it's already killing my mind and spirit. I MUST and WILL find a way back.

                          thank you all for putting up with me

                            Being ill physically puts us off our game mentally. We're just human, doing the best we can do.
                            Seeking appropriate help is the best thing you can do for yourself & for DX.

                            Get a gallon of water into yourself & some rest. Tomorrow will be a better day :l
                            Check in & let is know how you are doing, OK?
