    April the 3rd..

    good morning peeps ,and how are you this morning?all good?firstly..thank you very much to everyone..who sent me messages either on here or pm re Sam..it was really sad to see him at the end..poor little mite lost more than half his body weight and I guess he just couldnt cope...seeing him as I last did was heartbreaking..if I could build steps from here to heaven out of hurt and tears..Id pick him up now..the main thing now is Sandys happiness and well being..she was his partner /friend /companion...so whatever is best for her comes first..

    secondly..ppqp summed it up right in her last post..shit happens on a daily basis..this is a daily fred..not mine or anyone elses ..but ours..so on we go..doesnt stop me thinking or crying but thats life so brew time ..Im def having one who else?

    one thing I will say...in the early moments,when I had been to the first vet and he told me..I thought this isnt real and was stunned...somewhere in there a little voice and I quote said fk it lets get pissed...now thats after almost 3 years..that thought lasted milliseconds but it still popped in!!bloody soon popped out again tho..but it just shows you!!its the dealing with not the thinking of that counts!!

    hiya ppqp.....thank you so much...now then ..about that fencing......depends where they are going and are they being attached to fencing or are they the fencing..if that makes sense?personal choice ..for me 5..then 2 then 1..5 leaves loads of scope as to what you can do with it....have you any plans over the easter break?have a good one..

    hiya pauly..thank you....how are you today then?still got your allergies?are you off over the easter break too?hopefully so ..any plans?go on get yourself out n about ..enjoy it..

    hiya lav..thank yo ...well another day in stinky boy land!!big brew needed..was a lovely day weatherwise here yesterday..but back to normal again today..its warmer rain so summers on the way!!got some seeds planted ..but need to get my skates on..you doing anything over the break?

    hiya pie...thank you very much...that poem was lovely too...hope you dont mind but I intend to frame it up with a pic of Sam..the rabbit that is..not our sam on here!!!:thumbsup:have you any plans for the easter break?

    well folks thats it ..big shout to all who arent here ..det.molly.dtd.etc have a good easter...and thank you

    I was in the bookies today trying to decide which horse to pick when I thought to myself, "This pen tastes like it's been in a lot of other people's mouths."

    Welcome to antisocial club.

    what do you want here?

    How many people does it take to change a light bulb?

    Is just one of the questions I should have asked before buying a lighthouse.

    My son told me he heard breathing under his bed. I replied, "for the last time, that's your brother, this is a bunk bed."

    I used to be addicted to the Hokey Cokey...

    But I turned myself around.

    "For feck's sake love, how long have we been together?" I said to my girlfriend after she handed me my birthday card. "And you're STILL spelling my name with two L's."

    "Oh shurrup, you pernickety old git." She snapped. "It's an easy mistake to make."


    "Baby, my name is Steve."

    I only started finger painting yesterday.

    I'm a dab hand already.

    I bought a cheap pillow stuffed with feathers the other day.

    You could tell it wasn't great workmanship though.

    When I lay on it, it squawked .

    A sandwich walks into a bar.

    The barman says, "Sorry we don't serve food in here."

    I went for an interview at a big IT company today for the position of 'Computer Hacking Investigator.'

    The boss asked me, "So, what makes you suitable for this job?"

    "Well," I replied, "I hacked into your computer and invited myself to this interview."

    When I was a kid, I was always told never to play with matches.

    I never wanted to play with them anyway, I was too busy setting fire to things.

    In case the country gets invaded and I have to quickly hide, I have a big pop art painting on my wall that hides a secret panic room.

    I call it my handy war hole.

    I went into my local newsagents and I saw that he had put up a big sign saying, "NO READING IN THIS SHOP"
    I grabbed 4 bars of chocolate, took them to the counter and said, "Which of these is the Dairymilk?"

    I went to the dentist today and he said, "I'm afraid your molars will have to come out."

    "Why?" I asked, "There's nothing wrong with them."

    He replied, "Yes I know, but I need to buy a new car."

    So I come home early one day and the wife is sitting cross-legged on the bed, completely naked.

    "What's going on? Why are you naked?" I ask.

    "Oh, it's just that I haven't got any clothes to wear," she replies.

    "Rubbish" I say, throwing open the closet door. "Look, you've got tons of clothes. Here's a red dress, here's a blue dress, here's Fred, here's a flowered dress..."

    Glad to see you are back in form Mick but you must be so sad. And so exhausted. I am good - all's well here. Tried to watch Wolf Hall but couldn't quite get into it. Might give it another go as it is fascinating and the acting is superb. Finished watching The Missing - yeah, I weeped buckets in that one.
    Looking forward to when we get Indian Summers here. Should come here soon I hope. The other British telly series I want to see is Fortitude. AS you probably can guess I have never been a watcher of Top Gear - but its certainly been in the news a lot because someone didn't get his dinner!

      PS - Good on you Mick for not drinking. Of course you wouldn't. But we don't know how crises and grief and suffering will hit us.

          hey everyone mick so sorry to hear about Sam,I lost two of my cats last year and one of them had lost lots of weight.I read somewhere that if you love an animal you make the world a better place for all animals.Helped me - and the rainbow bridge poem - but it's a real tear jerker.Cathartic.
          Busy day yesterday - facial then friend over with kids,then over to other friends for birthday.I'm loving my sober life.
          Hope everyone is good,lazy day with PJs and DVDs and maybe pizza on the cards for today.I feel relaxed,I'm happy and I've been spoiling myself,getting life in order. Booked spring clean with cleaning company for 20 April - literally can't wait!
          Only thing on the cards is trip to town to try on jeans and buy a new mascara,maybe a trip to the seaside for my birthday.
          Be well everyone
          one day at a time

            Mae everybody, Mick,glad you're back jokes were funny, especially the bunk bed and Fred in the closet haha, busted!weird that the thought of drinking popped up, I guess it'll be that way forever, it was our coping mechanism for so damn long, but as said it's just a thought, off today work tomorrow then off Sunday, today I need to clean my room, I do my laundry and just throw it on a chair, lazy ass!it looks messy and cluttered and it's bothering me, think I want pizza too Bear they have a bacon wrapped around the crust of a deep dish pizza at one of the chains here,dunno about that one but maybe hi Molly, how are you feeling?good to see you TT,feels weird without you posting here much anymore, I do read your posts on the other thread though and it seems like you can really open up there, that's a good thing was gonna walk but it's too windy, maybe I'll ride the e-bike or play with my Wii(sounds naughty haha) or do a DVD,the Tae-bo one is a killer! PPQP, I'm glad you posted as usual, on the steppers thread after Dotties husband passed I think we were all timid to post mundane things, anything actually, but she said she needed us to carry on as normal to help her feel better, I'm sure Mick feels the same, slept like a log last night but woke up groggy so too mucho coffee,I'm such a weirdo, grrrr, want to get out and mess with my yard but I'll be sneezing all day,I had to pay Brady to pull some weeds that were bugging me in the front of the house, alrighty,hello to Lav,Pie,Sam,Det,Nar,NS,SF and everyone reading, let's make it a good Good Friday
            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!

              Good morning Abbers & happy Friday to all!

              Glad to see you back & in good shape Mick. I think most of us have experienced losing a pet, it's sad to lose a good friend :hug:
              I don't know if we will ever be totally free of 'those automatic thoughts' but I can tell you they become very, very infrequent.
              Expecting a day of rain here as well but it's not going to stop me. I have Easter plants to deliver to loved ones & a granddaughter to visit with a basket full of goodies

              Hi there TT, glad you are well!

              Greetings Molly & bear & everyone dropping by today!

              Wishing everyone a wonderful AF day!

              Lav

                MAE ALL....

                Mick...thanks for kicking us off this morning and for the brew. I think we'll always have that little voice but a millisecond compared to hours shows how far we've come. Was definitely going with attached to the fence after seeing Pi's yard. I bet she comes up with something unique. Boss hired another program coordinator yesterday. By the looks of her resume I've got a camp counselor on my hands. Oh bother!

                TT...good to see you stopping in. Haven't heard of any of those shows. LOL

                Molls...good to see you too. Must make a visit to the Army soon, it's been ages.

                Bear...you are sounding so positive and full of energy. Could you send some my way please.

                Sleep fairy finally found me last night and woke full of energy this morning. Frost on the grass and snow later today. Don't think we'll get any accumulation but you never know. We've had 20cm on May 24th in the past. Gardening is always a challenge in Calgary.

                Have a Fabulous AF Friday all and all to come.....:smile:PQP

                Xpost Lav...morning to you too. I'd settle for rain. Enjoy your Easter outings.

                Pauly...didn't see your post till now. Can I come over and play wii too?

                    Morning All,

                    Pauly, can I come to the Wii playing, fedora wearing party at your house? Sounds like a blast! I agree with your joke choices too. Bunk beds and Fred in the closet are lol funny. Also liked the handy war hole one.

                    Mick, thanks for the start up. Proud to be among the circle of friends standing with you in your grief. I've no claim to the Rainbow Bridge poem, other than to say it's what I choose to believe about where our gentle pets go when they leave this world.

                    PQ, your pics really opened up a world of possibilities for what I might do to spruce up my fence. Will be thinking on it for awhile.

                    Very intrusive drinking thoughts for me the past couple of days. After replying on another thread about Antabuse, I realized I could use them again for awhile, to protect my quit. And so I am, and feel great relief.

                    Happy Friday to all and all to come.

                      hiya Pie...for me its not the fact you didnt write it ..its the fact you thought about it ...as for the drinking thoughts...you can work thru them..you know where I am give me a shout....on "the bridge" here is a wee verse or two I wrote for Sam today..

                      Sam

                      I didn't realise the day had come,
                      For your journey on earth to be completed and done,
                      My little Sam I miss you so much,
                      Nothing can replace you as such.

                      Came as a rescue,had been left to roam,
                      We gave you love and I hope a good home,
                      In return you gave us fun and laughs through the years
                      Some beautiful memories fleeting through my tears.

                      But you didn't come as one,you came as a pair,
                      Sammy and Sandy our lives to share
                      She was your companion your soul-mate your friend
                      Now that you're gone..her being happy that's my end

                      So farewell Sam,it breaks my heart.
                      For all of us to be apart
                      But now you're at peace ,with no hurt and no pain,
                      I love you little bunny ...till we meet again x

                              So here's something I'm not crying about. Ta da! hair.jpg I call it my hot-flash friendly hairdo. Also, I think that only visiting hairdresser when she's having a good day should be added to the play book on stress free living.
