brew time all in for a brew?

hiya Lav..super hoooge brew for you!!reckon you need it..yep was right about the planter height ..it never passed muster ..so it has now been suitably amended!!take it that it is a resting day for you today?managed to get into the garden yesterday and get a bit of weeding done too!!

hi Mick,quick post before my mega long day,looking at it as a challenge rather than a pain in the ass.Then big bubble bath,then bed.
Yep,spring clean,new start stuff going on over here,mad busy at work but feeling positive and like I can handle it.I love my medication and being sober!

I agree PPQ - beautifully written - as a serial lapser myself in the (recent) past, it's important not to feel judged (as we'll be doing that quite well ourselves!) and beaten down but guided and bolstered up that it is possible to be sober,and to think about the plan going forward. I've always found that here on MWO.

Have a great day everyone

Greetings Abbers!

Onya Mick. Hope you're well. All good here thanks mate.

I don't know how some folk can text a million words a minute with pinpoint, i say pinpoint accuracy on a phone. The world is an amazing place.

Have a pearler out there y'all.

xpost. Onya Bear. Have a bewdy.

[DreamThinkDo]

Morning all!
Mickstar - it pays to complain: I've one tiny bit of parsley showing its head - 6 weeks after sowing!

Have a great day all: lovely autumn day here, and I'm stuck inside, bonding with my laptop to earn a crust. Life sometimes is just not fair!

[Lavande]

Good morning Abbers & Happy Hump day

Thanks for the start up & coffee Mick!
No kid watching scheduled (so far) today & that's OK with me. +
Glad you got your planter sorted out I grow a lot of herbs but I don't start them from seed. I go to the wonderful plant farm nearby & buy their potted plants, drop them in my herb garden & enjoy them all season. As a matter of fact just last week I pulled the flat leaf parsley plant from last summer. It survived that long!!!

Greetings bear, G, Molly, DTD & everyone. I hope we all have a wonderful AF Wednesday!
I'm off to Curves for now then I don't know what - we shall see

Quick drop in to say moanin to everyone. Got someone suppose to visit the farm tomorrow so it is clean up time. They are coming to make sure we are raising beef, a formality before I can sell it at farmers markets. So I have to get busy with my cardboard and magic marker to create my cow mannequins! Pretty active here this am!! Nice to see everyone. Have a good one.

Mae everybody, very well written PPQP without this thread and the people on it,I don't know if I could bother to pull myself out of the messes I put myself into, sometimes I've been so ashamed to come back, feel disrespectful to you guys cuz I've gotten nothing but support here,but I do come back and you guys greet me with open arms, not excusing the drinking, but not judging either, this is my main home for the support on staying af,I like the steppers for b.s'ing with the girls, they're lovely people but some are moderating, and that's fine for them but I can't moderate drinking anymore than I can moderate my potato chip consumption, who the hell wants just one?haha,Mick, boy meets girl on steroids over here!poor little white bunny is fixed but Dr.Chocolate is a horny little devil and won't leave her alone, she tries to out run him but he's quick raging allergies or a cold I've got now,kept having to sneeze into a towel while cutting hair yesterday, finally had to take a dayquil to breathe, feel like I need to get another one today, sinus headache is terrible!well off to get ready, Lav,Stella is just a traveling girl in the commercial, not a care in the world and sending selfies back home haha,let's kick Wednesday's ass peeps

hiya folks ...its gorgeous out there..almost good enough to be jottin about in me speedos!! :woohoo2: hiya molls how are you this gawjus day no paddys day hangover for you then...oh dear look what I found

St. Patrick was not actually Irish. he was born around 373 A.D. in the British Isles near the modern city of Dumbarton in Scotland. His real name was Maewyn Succat. He took the name of Patrick, or Patricius, meaning "well-born" in Latin, after he became a priest.

During Patrick's boyhood, the Roman empire was near collapse and too weak to defend its holdings in distant lands. Britain became easy prey for raiders, including those who crossed the Irish sea from the land known as Hibernia or Ireland. When Patrick was sixteen, he was seized by raiders and carried off to Ireland.

another Jock..them buggers can get where water cant!!

There was an explosion at a pie factory, 3.14 people died.

I once asked Michael Parkinson if he had a pen I could borrow. He told me he didn't.


But I did recieve one just for enquiring.

Wot do you call a Donkey with 1 leg ?????

Wonky Donkey.

Wot do you call a Donkey with 1 leg and 1 eye ?????

Winky Wonky Donkey.

Wot do you call a Donkey with 1 leg 1 eye and with a Banjo on its back

What do you call a snobbish criminal going down the stairs?

A condescending con descending

I'm getting into a drunken brawl with the first person that stereotypes Irish

I always remember my teacher telling me I wouldn't amount to anything in life.

The jokes on him, I've just been voted the Laziest Bstard in Great Britain.

I've discovered two things since I've started doing squats in the gym:

1) I can't do squats

2) I can't walk

I finally agreed to be hypnotized in an effort to discover if the recurring nightmares that were ruining my life were a result of a traumatic event in my past that I'd shut out of my memory.

I was reluctant to accept the results but the evidence was clear.

I really did say "I do."

The minimum wage has been increased by almost a whole Freddo an hour

St patricks day!

The one magical day of the year where that one and only distant irish relative can change your nationality from english to irish!

I was with my girlfriend, looking at rings in the window of the local jewellers.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" she said.
On reflection, "I don't know, does it involve sheep?" was probably not the best answer.

think about it....
So yes", I said demonstrating to the chinaman, "this shirt was worn and given to me by the current polish international goalkeeper."

"That is Artur Boruc's," he replied.

"No, it's fcking true!", I yelled.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a history teacher but when I got older I realised there was no future in it.

Pi, what's up with you today?

I had a kid free day today & it was OK!!!!!

[Pie]

Hey gang, Some days are terrific, and some just plain disheartening. I started off by getting on my own nerves, and then managed to run into every cranky person, and trying situation on the planet. About to put a lid on it, and try for better tomorrow.

So, sweet dreams my friends, Mick, Bear, G, Molly, DTD, Lav, Sam, Pauly, PQ, Det, and anyone else who may drop by. See y'all tomorrow.

[bear73]

Hey Pie,sorry you had a bad one,wishing you a happier and more peaceful Thursday.
