    right folks short and sweet..bit like me really!! ha! take it easy and have a good day...

    I couldn't afford to take my kids to Sea World.

    So I took them to Billingsgate Fish Market, saying, "Shhhhh ... they're all asleep."

    I was walking through the park before when a policeman came over to me.

    "Excuse me sir." he said "You haven't seen a bloke with black hair, a beard, about 5'10 around have you?"

    "No" I replied "I'll keep an eye out though, can't be many guys around with a beard that long."

    My new job role is to forward emails.

    For those confused, the technical term is 'Manager'.

    Taking some antibiotics that amongst others have a side effect that includes "committing suicide"

    The advice if this happens?

    "Immediately stop taking the medication"

    I'm sure we've met before," I said, offering my hand.

    "No we haven't," he said,"I'm Dave Javu."

    Why do elephants have pads on their feet?

    So that when you pick them up, they won't scratch you.

    A study says that plucking hairs can cause more to grow.

    Which will be of little comfort to bald people.

    Yesterday I drank 9 cokes and 2 Dr Peppers, I am offically the new king of pop.

    Yo' Mama is so fat, every time she turns around, it's her birthday.

    Your mama's so fat she went on an airplane and it turned into a boat.

    Yo mama's so fat, her soup bowl came with a lifeguard.

      hey Mick and Sam good to see you both.
      Yesterday's work event went really well,was really tiring but went well.I presented ok, I felt very nervous though and went blank a couple of times.My partner was a great presenter tho and very supportive. Instead of beating myself up about her being better than me,I am learning from what she did better(showed enthusiasm which with my nerves I feel got a bit lost,and also was very authentic).I'm also booking onto some presentation training as I haven't done any in ages and I don't present that often.But it was good enough.

      Other than that came home earlier as my colleagues are lovely and let me leave first as I live furthest away.I had a 2 hour nana nap and then went to the gig,I drove - and it was a great night. I'm loving being sober and in the end I didn't want to drink at all - bit dehydrated as didn't drink anywhere near my usual quota of water.I can feel stress beginning to rise re worries re my team's performance, I'm trying to head it off and think - what can i do to feel more relaxed/balanced and also how can i plan through it and think realistic thoughts/make realistic goals.
      Inspirational speaker at our event yesterday - very positive and I feel said some great stuff about fear being a paralyser and just going with ideas,remembering work can be fun and to try things.
      It feels like things are coming together a bit and I'm learning how to look after myself.I am getting a cleaner,I am loving my fitbit and the info re how many calories I burn.steps I take and how many calories I need to eat to lose weight.
      I may start 5 minute meditations if I feel overwhelmed in mornings and am planning in exercise and lots of skating outdoors.I feel happy.
      SF - sorry you are having such a hard time,it's hard watching someone you care about go through this - especially when he seems to be dealing with it in a different way to how you would.
      Hope everyone is doing well and see you tomorrow - think I'm 3 months off booze,minus my two glasses of wine - counting that I haven't had a drink for just over a month
      one day at a time

          Good morning Abbers,

          Geez, I slept an unheard of 9 hours last night - I have no idea how that happened!
          Sunny & mild today so I will be outside soon. The grass has suddenly grown so YB is out dusting off the tractor. We actually had frost warnings last night but I don't think it got that cold.

          Thanks for the startup Mick!
          Have fun in the garden today

          Sam, good luck at the market today! You have a nice day ahead weather wise.

          bear, glad you got through your presentation OK. It's never good to over worry this stuff, something I have battled all my life too. We all continue to grow & improve, being AF is a great big plus

          SF, I am sorry about your FIL. I hope he finds peace & comfort soon :hug:
          Your husband sounds a lot like mine in his refusal to be comforted. We just have to accept that some people are like that. It never felt right to me either.

          Greetings Pie! Can't wait to hear what you get up to today, ha ha!

          I do have son & his family coming for dinner tonight. I am about to go pick up some stuff to put on the grill.
          Wishing everyone a great AF day! Greetings PQ, hope your eye is better today. Det, where are you?

          pauly, nice chatting with you on Facebook last evening!

            Mae everybody, always nice to chat with you Lav Bear,was gonna ask what fitbit do you have? Lately I've been logging in my food intake and it's so hard to be honest haha,Sam good luck at market, Mick,I like what you wrote yesterday about writing the reason for wanting/thinking of a drink, gives time to think it all out first, nothing much planned for today, hubs is still sleeping, bum!! I can't do that, reminds me of hangover days bleck!so I'm downstairs watching the news and waiting for him to get up so I can jump in the shower, then I'm making gluten free pancakes and chicken sausage, hide the boxes so nobody pre judges the taste haha,hello Pie,PPQP, SF,Det,everyone have a peaceful Sunday
            I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:

            I'm taking care of the "tomorrow me":thumbsup:

              Morning everyone, sorry I have not been posting here regularity. I just seem to be so tired during the week and haven't been able to post from work because I am sharing an office with full visibility of my computer.
              Mick, have fun in the garden. We don't do any of that untilMay long weekend. It will snow again here, it always does.
              Well, today is my one year anniversary. I am very happy for that. It is amazing that I have woke up every day for the last 365 Un Hung. I love it!
              I am going to the market today and may have a cinnamon roll to celebrate. Yeah!

              Have a great sober day everyone.

                    Narilly.....:shout:CONGRATS ON 1 YEAR:shout: Way to go! So proud of you.
                    Miss you on the thread but I know you're not far. Enjoy your congratulatory cinnamon roll.

                    Mick...thanks for sticking around and kicking us off this morning. Was such a relief waking up and not having to pry my eye open. Can't believe you're already having to thin out plants. Didn't make it to Dad's yesterday so may try and slip down during the week. We'll see how it goes, 3 days off work I can just imagine what my desk looks like. Like Narilly says, May 24th, we can still get clobbered with snow. My new job role is to forward emails. For those confused, the technical term is 'Manager' HaHa...I'm going to use this! Enjoy the day in the garden.

                    Sam...hope market day is going good for you. Do you sell any of your honey there?

                    Bear...good job on getting through yesterday's work event. It doesn't matter how prepared I am I'm always nervous. You would think taking care of ourselves would be a natural wouldn't you. You sound so positive these days, keep it up.

                    Pi...see the green light is on so will check back to see what you got up to today.

                    Lav...thanks, eye is much better. Now if I can just get used to the contact lens that's in there. LOL We're having salmon for a change tonight, what did you end up getting for the grill?

                    Pauly...."hide the boxes so nobody pre judges the taste" HaHa...that's exactly what I do. Sure hubs is up by now and your well into your day. Enjoy.

                    Narilly...take some weights with you it's mighty windy out there. And cold! That sun can be deceiving.

                    Grocery run done, kitchen cleaned up, onto laundry and PVR! Have a Super Sober Sunday all and all who pop in later......:smile:PPQP

                      Ugh,think I baked my almond cheese for too long looks like a giant cookie,plus the consistency is the same as a buttermilk biscuit, at least I tried, will check Sprouts for the stuff you use Lav

                          Tired greetings ABerooooos!

                          still AF happy to report. Had to take off today and set up for tomorrow's tradeshow so I'm pretty bushed and have the dreaded 'hospitality suite' to look forward to. arming myself with some snacks and a few minutes meditation so I'll be good. Going to be a long week on the road so taking care of myself is critical.

                          Narilly, mega kudos!!!!!!!!!!

                          great post Bear, your kicking butt

                          well, time to get ready to 'entertain' ugh...

                          back later

                          be well peeps

                            Glad you checked in Det!
                            Keep your focus this week & stick with your plan

                            pauly, I've made some cashew cheese with fairly good results. Well - at least a lot of people told me they liked it, ha ha!!!!
                            These new things take a lot of research & practice but the are doable.

                              made it through unscathed happy to say. it was a total boozefest and they had a big table set up with endless free samples of
                              special aged scotch whiskeys and everyone was just imploring me to try it. arg! thankfully I found the cheese platter and ate about a pound of really good blue cheese

                              big day tomorrow....see ya's then
