    mae everyone ...how are yiz all today?as you are all aware its 5 years today since Lav gave up the auld drink...thats some serious amount of time..having her own issues and life to deal with as well as listening to us chunnering on and and on....Dare I say ,Lav has a somewhat direct approach,and if you are looking for gift wrapping on your answers ...forget it!! but she is a genuine kind and helpful lady with a no nonsense attitude that has helped loadsa people on here..me included....so all I can do and it gives me great pleasure to start this thread ,wish you all the best and congratulations on 5 years ...Im sure there are loads more to come...hope you have a great day.

    5 years in and down the line,
    No vodka, whisky beer or wine,,
    Life in bits,the drink was winning,
    But you kicked it all for a new beginning.

    You’ve had your ups ,you’ve had your downs,,
    Had your smiles and, had your frowns,
    But through it all you’ve stayed so strong,
    Helping others on the road along.

    Some would say stubborn ,others say cool,
    No bull sh.t words ..you're nobody's fool
    Able to give a piece of your mind ,
    But for genuine people..encouraging and kind

    So congratulations , what more can we say,
    On this your 5th anniversary.
    An inspiration a beacon of hope,
    To all of us trying to cope.

    From all of us here in the af gang,
    We hope for you that your lum reeks lang.
    Good luck ,good health and be of good cheer,
    Have a great day now make it last till next year.

    Congratulations Lav ....heres a great big hooge brew for you

    Hope everyone else is doing ok....for all of you that think you cant handle it .....think on this will be you ..all you need to do is .stick at it ...

    My daughter wanted a Cinderella party.

    So I invited a couple of her friends round, and made them clean the house.

    News: Michelle Obama visits panda reserve in China.

    Big deal. She sees something half-black, half-white, with big ears every day at home.

    I wouldn't say boo to a goose.

    I have Tourette's, so I'd tell it to fuck off.

    Whatever, Batman. You may call it the Batcave,

    but that doesn't change the fact you still live in your parents basement.

    I said to my work colleague,"Look at this office CCTV footage of you at your desk yesterday,you're just sitting there doing f. all."

    "Do you see those two vertical lines at the bottom?" He asked.

    "Yes,why? I asked.

    "Because it's on pause you daft git" He replied.

    As a boy growing up in the 1960s, I enjoyed pop music and being cruel to insects.

    I have particularly fond memories of the stones versus the beetles.

    Just found my old collection of return tickets. They really took me back.

    My wife was delighted with her new diet. "I'm losing about a pound of weight a day', she said.

    'That's fantastic, you really must keep it going', I said as I calculated in approximately 280 days she'll completely disappear.

    Pauly ...for you

    I invented an automatic hair cutting machine and took it off to the patents office to get it registered.

    After explaining how it worked, like a hair drying hood but with rotating knives, they seemed a little dubious.

    "Have you taken the fact that everyone's head is a different shape into consideration", they asked.

    In hindsight, "Only the first time they use it", probably wasn't the best answer.

          Greetings Fellow Travellers !!!
          (howzat for a greeting Mick!)

          I was tempted to congratulate Lav earlier in the day as the 26th March is almost over in wonky-do upside-down land but I didn't want to spoil things so now I can shout it from the rooftops

          Congratulations Wonder Woman on 5 years of being a sober granny and all round fabulous woman. Lav is the best!!
          :groupluv::banana:

          have a great day - but first I expect you will be getting some beauty sleep. WE are so proud of you and we know its not always easy - even the snow didn't come between you and your best-ever gift to yourself - the sober Lav!!!

            P.S.

            Lav - you were also the inspiration behind me getting an ice cream maker and making my own icy evilness. Tonight we found the last of the peach icecream in the freezer - I made this months ago - and it was a yummy reminder of summer (well we never had a summer here this year) but best of all - you!

              Good morning Abbers & HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!! :yay:

              Mick, thank you for the beautiful poem, how nice!!!!!!
              You are absolutely right, I am stubborn. I finally found a good use for my stubbornness, turned it into a more useful form aka Lavan-ittude
              Commitment & pure determination will take you far!!!
              Thanks again Mick!

              DTD, I'm collecting those beautiful coffee mugs, thanks so much!
              They go along perfectly with Stella's cake pops :H
              I just hope she made enough!!!



              Thanks bear & TT!
              Maybe a little ice cream would be nice today TT.
              If winter ever decides to end around here I will dust off my ice cream maker & put it back to work!

              I hope everyone has a fantastic AF Wednesday!
              There's about an inch of snow blowing around outside - hope the sun melts it this afternoon.

              I'll be back later!

                  Mick!!

                  :H:H:H

                  Your poem was a hit!
                  So that I'll admit.
                  Should have done my own verse
                  but it would have been worse.
                  We'll rely on your timing
                  and all your good rhyming!

                  What a GREAT poem!!!
                  Congrats, Lav!!!! XXOO, t

                      Yeah Lav - in corporate office, snuck onto a computer to say Yeah! Hope I don't get caught, but had to add my congrats and pick up my cake pop before they are all gone....
                      So happy and proud for you Lav - such an inspiring role model!

                              So now I know what a cake pop is! Clearly we are lagging behind Western civilization in my. Part of the world!
                              I never knew such 'things' existed.
