TUESDAY AF 29 JULY

[treetops]

MAE everyone ?night here but thought I would try to do a quick post. Seems to be a bit of holiday talk going on ? or coming down from holidays as in Det?s case. Now you stay on track Det! No evil AL voices.
Mick ? you planning a trip away already ? as if I would do such a thing!:H
I am sure SL that you will enjoy your holiday. Although you are doing this sober ? the girls are older which should be a plus. Just don?t expect too much from the break and don?t over-organise and plan like I do. Listen to what the girls want to do ? even if its boring and seems like a waste of time to you. Chill out baby!

Where?s Bear? Didn't see you post yesterday ? hope all is OK. Pauly ? you have gone quiet again which is never a good sign.

Patrice ? vamping or vaping ? perhaps both? I would imagine that its hard to quit smoking in Malaysia ? would be more common there than it is in NZ these days?

Hope that Lav and Sam ? that you are surviving the wild weather.

PPQP ? keep your cool with the weather (and the infuriating MWO website).

OK folks ? I have cooked tea (that's what we call dinner over here), have some work to do and then plan to have a watch of one of my Scandinavean crime stories. I am watching The Bridge series 2 and really enjoying it.
You all have a great sober Tuesday ? be happy and healthy as well.

WH Smith - they charge a penny for a bag because they are trying to be 'environmentally friendly' - then they give you a whole trees worth of receipts and special offer vouchers.

Tempted to poke holes in my dad's condoms so someone else can do the washing up.

Me and my friends have been playing the 'Parliamentary Drinking Game' recently.
Basically, you watch Question Time and down a drink every time an MP tells the truth.

I'm 5 years sober and bored out my f.cking mind.

I see that the University of London is offering a degree course devoted to Lady Gaga.

The course comprises students taking their parents' tuition money, and flushing it directly down the toilet.

I was nervous starting my new job as a street cleaner yesterday.

Luckily I picked things up straight away.

How come, when a couple get divorced, the bloke has to pay his ex-wife a share of his future earnings but the woman doesn't have to do the bloke's future housework?

I absolutely love helium filled balloons.

I can't speak highly enough about them.

17 days until I stop using aerosol deodorants.

Roll on

Quick flyby here - Sam, sending you my teeth to take to the dentist if you enjoy it that much :H - can send my kids to you too - then it is dentist/orthodontist and now oral surgeon - spending way too much time there, so if it makes you happy, I can oblige :H:H
Have a good one everybody..

MAE ALL....

Scorcher out there today (34/93) good thing I could hide out indoors all day.
Confused with the two threads but after reading the other I understand.

TT...thanks for the kickoff. Every time you guys mention "tea" I remember visiting my sister who was living in London England. It's funny, we always wanted to live in England and the English want to live in Canada. I think our police force is 90% British.

Mick...how did the surprise guest appearance go? Bet he was chuffed. Now if I can just figure out what you mean by "lateral thinking" no, no don't tell me, I'll get it. Heard on the radio that Calgary only had 2 days of 30 degree weather all of last year!

Pat...good luck with QuitNet, keep us posted. You guys keep talking about it and it's got me thinking, but not too hard. Have to be committed if I'm going to give up the smokes.

Sam...my teeth are in the post right behind SL's. Thinking your back must be healing as we haven't heard about it lately. Enjoy your visiting.

Lav...hope you had a good day. Don't you just love starting new projects.

SL...just so you know, my teeth get fixed first. Your's are going to take longer. Hope your day was good.

Pauly...pick yourself up and dust yourself off...we're family, you can't rid of us that easy.

Bear...that goes for you too. Just don't quit quitting.

Off to fix my own "tea". Have a peaceful evening everyone.....PPQP

Just checking back in & saw the posts from bear & pauly. Sorry I didn't see them sooner.

I really hope the both of you will find a way to get back on your plans & make them work for you!
We miss so much when we are operating in a cloudy haze - it's just not good. You can't keep drinking if you really want things to change in your lives. Commit to an AF day tomorrow then please check in with us, please :l

a sleepy ahoy ABeroooos,

two threads today from our overachiever TTops, cool! it's like a support group in stereo

just back from almost 8 hours of 'bonding' time with 8 other of my coworkers on one of my bosses 3 boats and it was a total booze cruise. thankfully there was one other abstainer and one who had amazing 1 drink the entire time, so I did have a couple folks to commune with.

Pauly, first off a big xxxooo to you for having the humility to come and post that you're in a bad way. that is huge and very difficult I know. this is a facility that cannot refuse you even if you are dead broke.
they can do a 3-day detox to safely get you well again.

Bear, counselling is a great idea and I'm looking forward to that myself.

well, super tired and gotta be up early so I'm down for the count.

I'll post this on the other daily thread too.

be well loves
