    "Stay indoors between 9 & 3 and expect a special delivery." I said to my wife on her birthday.

    She seemed really excited considering my PS4 was on its way.

    I took my Japanese chef mate to Twickenham, as he wanted to see England play rugby.

    Best part of the day was when he started singing, 'Spling loll, sweet charred sharrots.'

    'I don't need fake friends in my life'.

    Just shared this with my 'true' 789 Facebook friends.

    I went to the doc and said I have a problem with diarrhoea and it's becoming unbearable. He said lemons are good for this. I said I know but as soon as I take one out it starts again

    The person who is first credited for harvesting chick-peas never received recognition during his life.

    However, after his death, he was awarded a prize post-houmously

    Paddy said to Mick, "Do you know Mick, my son's teacher had the cheek to tell me that my son isn't very bright?"

    Mick replied, "So what did you do then, Paddy?"

    Paddy said, "I bought him a UV vest."

    I was down the local shop earlier when I asked for a pack of condoms.

    "Would you like a bag with that, sir?" he asked me.

    "Great idea!" I thought. "Could you poke a few eye holes in it for me as well please?"

    Did you hear about the incompetent dwarf policeman?

    He wasn't much cop.

    Paddy and his wife are on holiday in England visiting historical sites.
    ' This is where the Magna Carta was signed, ' said the tour guide, ' it is one of the most important documents in England. '
    ' When was it signed, ' asked Paddy.
    ' 1215, ' replied the guide.
    ' shit we missed it by 90 minutes,' said Paddy.
    br />My wife looked across at the chocolates I was eating.

    "Could you chuck me over a chocolate brazil?" she pleaded.

    I sized her up, and said "Not without help."

    A guy wants to become a magician so he goes out and buys a magician book. Later he gathers his family around the living room for his first trick. Reading his new book he reaches into a bag and pulls out a hammer and to the amazement of his family hits himself in the head with it. He's unconscious and spends a month in the hospital. Suddenly a nurse notices his eye lids flicker. She calls the family in and they gather around his bed. Just then he sits up in bed awake and says..."TA-DAA"

    White rabbits Mick although its still April here. I can't get into writing proper posts at the moment - internet is very weak too. Things are better now with the family and we did manic driving and tourist stuff today.
    AL not getting a look in either. I will be on my own next week so probably will post more then. Its very very wet in Hilo but thats the norm here I believe. At least its warm.

      Good morning Abbers & Happy first day of May

      Waiting for some sun, I hear it is supposed to make an appearance at some point today.

      This is what 5" of rain looks like:


      That pic was taken last evening in the same spot where I was met by the road turkeys a few weeks ago. The farmers around here won't be happy campers today.

      TT, glad you are getting out & about in Paradise

      Guess I'll hang around & get some work done today!!!
      Greetings to everyone & sending wishes for a great AF Thursday!

        Happy May Day folks!! Foggy day so far after a boat load of rain. Garden smarden, I'll never get in one in at this rate! I gots the red clay blues, oh lordy momma. I was starting see animals line up in pairs, reminded of Mick's joke the other day. Your picture says it all Lav!

        So toilets done, starting to deal with old sink old plumbing that's all plugged up. Took the sink off and all the drains are plugged up, got the ol snake out, got to replace water lines and drains. Truly this stuff is all 1950's-60's plumbing. The toilets were shimmed up with old lead slugs from when the place was a print shop with linotypes.

        TT, any pictures of the volcanoes? I'm a true tourist at heart!

        Have a good one everybody.

            Good mornin'

            I look forward to this thread. Mick thanks for mentioning me sometimes it just helps...
            That one little thing made me smile today.. I'm in the desert in the western states. It's going to be warm this weekend which I love!

            Lav- wholly Toledo.... Maybe not that much rain.

            I am doing good today and looking forward to trying a AF month of May. I always hesitate when I think it cause I wonder if I will make it. I am foregoing a birthday party because i know it will be a drunken deal and I don't want to participate. Thank goodness I have to stay home with my kids and dogs.

            How the heck do you guys post pictures I have tried a few times and it doesn't work??? Maybe it's my ipad?

            Good day to all... Thanks for being here.

              Pauly ..believe you me..I do remember it despite it being nearly 2 years ago...the despair I felt knowing that was an alk..the lying the making excuses etc..I also remember at times along the way thinking what the f.ck is this all about? Im a grown up I can do what I want..which in fact was so far from the truth..I could do what I wanted..as long as I had a bevvy..I had 3 great people keeping me on the straight to start with....all I had to do was say it isnt hapning ..no matter what..and thats what you need.. focus..it is going to happen ..end of

              bkyogagurl...youre very welcome...if it cheers you up ..then good ..if it helps you quit ...even better.. think to yourself do you want to quit? thats the first question ..if thats a yes then go for it you can do it!!!!

                Doesn't it just bky - I so agree, amazing how much the recognition helps!
                Lav - thats wet!!! TT - different kind of wet in Hawaii, and without the persistent rain, no flowers Glad it is going better.
                Happy May Day all - hope you al have a good one!
                By end of May I wil reach 100 days - did not believe that would be possible. I am a little annoyed by my silly brain that is coming up with comments in the vein of now I am cured...I know that I want to stay this way, and I am happiest not drinking - it is amazing how much of a hold the drug has on us.
                Another hot one today, luckily some cooling by the weeknd and looks like it could be a very nice weekend for us here in N Ca

                bky - I will join you in an af May! My BD month, and it will be my present - let's just do it!
                Mick - banana flavoured tea sounds terrible - are you British - sacrilegious
                Lav - hope you dry out.
                Sam, pauly and all to come - have a good day, see you later.

                  MAE guys - really really wet here still - a trip into the Waipo Valley we tried to do has been cancelled due to a landslide -so not sure what the day will bring. It sure is not snorkeling weather on this side of the island.
                  Funny thing is that we cope better with inclement weather than brilliant sunshine :H:H - thats a Kiwi thing! I am also used to this rain from my years living in Fiji.

                  Lav - the pic of your place looks dreadful -puts me off coming to the East Coast!!
                  Sam - what a horrible job - actually we have had two blocked toilets already so far on our trip - too much info??:H My partner says that US toilets are ultra sensitive! they build them big and strong in NZ!

                  I can't post pics yet - internet system here is too slow. Will try to do later on.

                  Bygogirl - welcome - :welcome: - hope the mad AF nonsense rubs off on you.

                  Hi there to everyone else - have a great sober day or night.

                    Good point Mick... When I asked myself if I wanted to stop drinking is she said yes. Fear its fear and fear is just a feeling. You feel it and realize it's ok then off to the next feeling.... Awesomeness:yay:

                    ScLass- ya know what I would love to celebrate your BD month with you AF... How fun is that.


                    Tree- it sure seems like this AF madness IS in fact rubbing off and all over me. I like it.
                    I feel calm like I've never felt before.. It's almost strange... Like the storm is over. I am reluctant to be to confident but I usually have so much anxiety when thinking about drinking and it's just not there.

                    Maybe I just found the right thread.

                      Welcome BK! Hello to Lav, SL, TT, Sam, Pauly and anyone I missed.

                      Mick, I certainly can relate to the load of bull I used to tell myself. "I'm an adult"...."well freaking act like one!" When an alkie drinks there is nothing adult about it. It's more like a two year old throwing a tantrum and repeatedly getting their way.

                      Lav...we had our share of rain. Honestly, I can't believe how cold it is. But we are supposed to see 85 and sunny this weekend. I bet nobody can guess where I will be:H

                      Met someone today who is a lawyer by trade, but ends up telling me he owns a wine/liquor store.....and a drive through beer place. He bought them to support his disease.....and is now 22 years sober! Now if he can stay sober owning those....I don't think I got any excuses left in me

                          Just spent an hour and a half at middle school play - feels good that I didn't drink before it and didn't panic getting out to get back to drinking! Not the best way to way to spend an evening, but better than I used to!
                          bky - its a deal, let's do this! and I am glad your friend "myself" agrees with you - that is all that matters!:l
                          See you tomorrow - TGIF!

                            hidy ho ABerooooos across the fruited plain.....

                            back home and getting settled in to relaxation mode happy to say.

                            Pauly, please don't feel bad about posting here, you would be missed if you pulled a disappearing trick...no! this will 'click' for good if we keep our minds to it. I hope I never forget the dread and misery of being a slave to alcohol.

                            went to a new lunch place today and was overjoyed to see a 'garlic plate' appetizer, so of course I ordered it. it was two whole bulbs of roasted garlic, with a big slice of cambozola cheese and fruit. yummo! I have a feeling I'll be back. I sat at the bar and ordered my staple fare which is pellegrino sparkling water.

                            also this afternoon I bumped into a friend of DX's that just happens to grow 15 different varieties of garlic. wowser! yes, you can smell me from far away

                            Lav, that rain is bad but my poor Mum is super soaked....she lives near Destin FL and they just got 2 feet of rain in about 2 days. cars floating away etc... yikes.

                            be well everyone
