    New Years Eve AF 2014

    Well last day of 2014 and we did it sober! This will have to be a short burst as the internet is really weak where I am. Raining heavily today and also windy so plans to go kayaking have been thwarted.
    Glad that you are feeling perky Mick – so keep that going for 2015.
    Interesting discussion on the dairy free – I might suggest it to my daughter – to see if it helps her hayfever = although there is a direct correlation between this and pollen levels with her.
    PPQP – sorry you are having problems with your son. I may have missed something –so I am not sure what is happening. Anyway you take care.

    How is your daughter SL? I guess tonight, New Year’s Eve will be quiet. Since we are staying in a holiday spot its bound to be noisy although the rain might drown some of this out.
    I don’t bother myself with New Years Eve – and it seems to be a night for many people to have their moment of alcoholic excess. When I was on of them (I didn't need an excuse or just one night) – I usually had fallen asleep by midnight.

    Big hello to everyone else – Pauly, Pie, Sam, Det, SL, Lav. Happy New Year’s Eve! You are a great wee lot!!!

      Happy New Year's Eve, everyone! It's never been a big event for me, just another night to drink myself to sleep. I believe there's a Walking Dead marathon on the TV that I'll tune in to. Watched two episodes last night, and liked it! Go figure. A marvelous steak on the grill also sounds pretty appealing. We'll see.

      Lav, I know of hawk attacks on two small dogs. One was fatal, the other dog was badly inured and lost an eye, but survived. One owner constructed a covering for the dog area, the other now personally supervises all yard time for her pups. These separate attacks happened in fenced yards with open sky above, one along a bayou where birds of prey have good visibility for hunting. The other, along a golf course fairway, for the same reason. Not sure what your options are to protect your chickens, but maybe there's a way to offer them some cover from the hunters above?

      TT, thanks for kicking off our 2014 sober countdown. Mick, that's a breathtaking photo you posted; a view from your home? Sam, Pauly, PQ, SL, and Det, thinking of you all.

        Morning all
        nice cold crisp morning with plenty of sun coming on. Good day to run cows through the chute.

        Lav, sorry the tape didn't work for you. Sounds like you need to put some netting up.

        TT, sounds like you are in a very adventurous neck of the woods. Hope you get your kayaking in before too long.

        Pie, how's you be? I always found that New Years was an odd holiday. Get the day off because someone decided that the year should start NOW! Personally, I think it should start on August the 32nd. Anyway, it is good to have it start sober!!

        PQ, thinking of you. hope you are having a better day.

        Mick, I'm jonesing, no jokes!!

        Enjoy your eve of the new Everyone!!

          Mae everybody, Lav,that's sad about the poor chicken,those hawks must be hungry, I don't remember you having this problem before, I agree TT,that in past New year's eves I'd be past out before midnight anyways, stupid, we're just gonna lay low,at least I will,hubs will more than likely sneak off to one of the neighbor's house for"a beer" I don't care,at least it isn't me,he says I'm antisocial but why the hell would I go socialize with people I don't really know watching them drink? I'll just hang with Louie I'm keeping him tonight and I hope he sleeps good, the girls are going to go drinking and I'll hafta hear about how shitty they feel tomorrow and that's it never again,yada,yada,hello to all,I hope your Wednesday is good watch out driving,around here they start the partying early
          I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:

          I'm taking care of the "tomorrow me":thumbsup:
          Drinkin won't help a damn thing! Will only make me sick for DAYS and that ugly, spacey dumb feeling-no thanks!

            Greetings Abbers!

            Got myself up & out early to Curves

            My chickens are so traumatized they won't even go out today. Certainly can't blame them
            I've been trying to get YB to help me resolve this issue for years but I've been ignored. I made him go pick up the bloody remains of yesterday's murder so I hope it made some sort of mpression on him. Tired of this routine!

            Hello to TT who will see the new year first. Hope it's a good one!!!!
            Greetings to Mick, SL, Sam, Pauly & PQ (thinking of you) :hug:

            I'll check in tonight!
            Wishing everyone a good AF Wednesday!

            Lav

              My girlfriend is leaving me because she says I'm just too dumb.

              Oh well, plenty more birds in the sea as they say.

              Yesterday I was playing football for the first time in a year after suffering from a serious illness.

              "You've still got it!" said somebody in the crowd.

              Unfortunately it was the doctor with my latest test results.

              My wife left me saying I was obsessed with building materials.

              I couldnt understand what cement.

              My wife is leaving me and taking the kids with her because of my obsession with horse racing.
              They're at the gate now and......they're off.

              My wife has informed me she will never get on a plane again.

              I'm Looking forward to some fantastic holidays.

              Two deaf people both 5ft and blonde from my area were both found dead within a 3 mile radius of each other.

              I can't help but think the deaf's were related.

              That stupid wife of mine has only gone and invited our neighbour around for tea tonight.

              I've spent the last hour scraping the letters off the welcome mat

              It's my wife's 40th birthday on New years day and she has asked me if she can have a Porsche 911.

              "Are you sure love, "I said, "it's not the money, but your bum will look massive in it. "

              HAPPY NEW YEAR

                  Flying by yet again - have not been paying attention to daughter #2 and now think it is a rip-roaring sinus infection! Off to Drs office. Saw #1 briefly a couple hours ago, she declined pain meds and said it felt better - and went back to bed!
                  Have been reflecting and it is all good - will write a bit more after I clear out what is left in my bank account for more Drs visits and likely more meds! It has been a very expensive Dec

                  Yes, indeed - made good broth from both Thanksgiving and Christmas turkeys - just need to get them to drink it Lav!!

                  Hi Molly - lovely to see you here - and right back at you!

                  Will see you all in a bit....

                      Sorry the daughters are so poorly SL. And thats awful about your chickens Lav. And Mick's wife is poorly. And Pauly's girls will be poorly very soon!
                      was sent an Auld Lang Syne e-card from a dear girlfriend - known each other 30 years and she lives in the UK. The card brought a tear to my cynical old eyes! I sure value the meaningful friends I have. I should be seeing her this year. Family good - very quiet New Years and looks like the kayaking is on today. Brilliant hot sunny day. You all take care on NYE.

                        OK - sinus infection it is - so both on antibiotics - will not be a gourmet NYeve or NY day here!
                        Read back more than first time, so very sorry about the chickens - will the rest stop laying now Lav? Do scarecrows work?? Put YB on scarecrow duty???
                        Happy kayaking TT - sounds like a lovely way to spend the day. And yeah for meaningful friends!!
                        Hope Julie is well again soon Mick...
                        Have a lovely sober celebratory couple of days - I am looking forward to my first calendar year without alcohol for probably 36 or so years - 2015 is going to be a strong year for me....
