AF Sunday 28 September

MAE folkies. Well thought I better post while I can and get the Sunday thread going since Mick says that he will be away early on Sunday. Safe travels! Thanks for the PM. I have found that its not productive to be stroppy or a pain in the ass ? this just incites arguments and passive aggression ? that ends up making me feel depressed and exhausted. It also creates a toxic atmosphere that I don?t want for my daughter. One of the reasons I think as to why I was a rebellious teenager (who also found relief in booze) was because of the warzone I grew up in at home. No, I find it better if I can just do my own thing. I have my own comfortable bedroom and also my own study next door ? so its not like I have been sent to a dungeon! Today I ventured out on a long walk. Cold day here.

SL ? did you send me an email? Unfortunately that server is down (don?t know why) so I can?t access it yet. Hope your weekend provides some well needed respite.

PPQP ? so glad the visit with Dad went well and I look forward to your wheat pics.

Hey there Vegas girl! I switch to decaf coffee after a few cups of the jittery stuff. I find it really has helped reduce any caffeine-induced anxiety ? although I am not an esp anxious person most of the time. I wouldn?t say I am Zen-like calm ? but there is a difference!

Lav ? hope you are having fun with the young man. Are you cooking any special treats?

Det ? Tahoe sounds great. Glad that you are in a positive space.

Sam ? hope you are resting after the Market.

Hi there Pie. How?s the weekend going?

OK ? well be good and I will maybe see you all at the end of the week. Let?s hope the new new site is a winner!

Good morning Abbers,

That for the early start TT
I think we are both women who just want 'peace' in our lives. I have dropped the delusions of what I thought life should be like & just accepted what is. That's how I create peace - no war zones here

Mick, love the mini bunny pics :H
I hope you are having a great day!

The weekend is going well, EB is a good friend & companion. We have a kindergarten homework assignment to work on today, fun, fun!
Greetings to everyone & sending wishes for a wonderful AF day & coming week for all!

morning all
alive and well, slept like a rock last night. Glad to see everyone! Mick,when clicking on your pics, they remain small. I've not tried loading a photobucket pic. Det managed a larger one but I got to turn my computer around or stand on my head!!

Be well everyone, hope everyone has a great one!

Mae everybody,Mick from what i can see it looks like the tan bunny is the lazy one that jumped the fence awhile ago?mine is black with some chocolate brown on his head and sides,he's still being picky with his food and is now prefering just to munch on Winslow's dog food haha,Lav,i know what you mean about your grandson being a good friend and companion,that's how i feel about Louie,he's my homie,unless he's in one of his moods,then he's just a turd,i hate trying to sleep in on Sundays and have it be a no-go,but i guess we can't force our bodies to do what they don't want to,alrighty then adios for now and i'll see ya'll on Friday(i hope)thank you for always being here for me and each other,hugs to you all

afternoon everyone,I'm back - I had one glass of wine Friday and two last night,feel very hungover,went really hot and red both times.More than that though last week and this week I just felt really anxious,things getting on top of me and out of proportion and also feel blue.So whether I can or can't moderate now is actually irrelevant ( I wanted more after having 2 but stopped myself) - it makes me feel physically and mentally awful,confirmed for definite.

I actually feel free - it removes the debate - had good conversation with OH about it and he will support me/not offer me ' just one' anymore and that will be a huge help.

Mick your bunnies look amazingly cute

TT sorry you're having strife with OH,sounds like you're on top of it though.

Happy Sunday everyone - I don't drink.

MAE ALL....

Just popping on to say be safe and sober everyone. Helping a friend with computer this afternoon than out for dinner. See you all on Friday......PPQP

ps Pie...I couldn't find a username that wasn't taken so typed in why in French (although I spelled it wrong) and became PQ. Then someone added another P for PAS meaning not. Why Not! When I started sending out Positive P's :angel: PPP:angel: (Here's yours BTW) Mick added the other P and hence I became PPQP.

Pie - ankle got pretty swollen last night, has gone down this morning - but hip has a bruise! Not worried about getting to the olive oil, but hopefully it all heals for the 5K and more importantly the training for that goal!
I am looking forward to trying different oils - can't drink a glass of it Det, but will be trying a few out!
Big girl at her volunteering, got to get younger one out of bed and homework finished then off to the oil when we pick the older one up.
Bear 0 good to see you back. It is a shame we have to keep testing what we really know, but for me it appears it was a journey that I had to take!
Pie - you seem to be doing well - I don't "know" you well yet, hopefully you have some support for the upcoming week without MWO?
Strange weather here - some snow in the sierras and the leaves haven't even shown their fall colours yet! I love autumn and hope it does not miss us. I actually love all the seasons, just like to have some of each!
PPQP - forgot all the steps to get to your name:H
Howdy Sam, Lav and Pauly - be good when we take a hiatus - see you all hopefully in a week...

WElcome back Bear. Now you can say both 'I don't drink AL' but also 'I am allergic to AL'. and believe me the physical symptoms will get much worse in your 40s and 50s if you don't stop.

Ha! That's a great story, PPQP! Thanks for sharing the history of your nickname with me.

Greetings Abbers! I guess this is our last MAE on MWO for awhile. I did sign up on Nursie's site, and hope to see some familiar faces there. Here's the link again. http://steppingforward.proboards.com/

TT you sent me to the dictionary to look up "stroppy". Thanks! I love it when that happens. Glad you're on the mend for your 5k training, SL. Howdy to Sam, Mick, Lav, Pauly, Bear, Det, Dog Lvr and everyone else. See y'all back here in a week.

PPPQ - Glad my username wasn't taken, or I might have turned up as a Tarte! Or worse! :H

happy Sundy night ABeroooos!

bit distracted with cooking, but a quick AF cheer to all the lads and lassies in abworld on this rainy day in the high desert.

for the pictures I go to tinypic.com and set the size for forums, upload the pic and 'cut/paste' into the email. very simple really. Unless you
get yer pic upside down like I did

SL, you sounding like me with the bruising et al. yes, a bit of the olio should do wonders on top of some rest and ice of needed.

Bear, looks like we are in the same boat...our bodies just won't 'do' alcohol anymore. that party is over. thankfully there are much better parties across the hall!

ok peeps, time to chop more garlic.

be well everyone
