    My friend has got an excellent nose for wine.
    It's shaped like a fckin corkscrew.

    Little Johnny watched, fascinated, as his mother gently rubbed cold cream on her face.
    "Why are you rubbing cold cream on your face, Mommy?" he asked.
    "To make myself beautiful," said his mother.
    A few minutes later, she began removing the cream with a tissue.
    "What's the matter?" asked Little Johnny. "Giving up?

    A man was walking one day, when he came to this big house in a nice neighborhood.
    Suddenly he realized there was a nude couple making love out on the lawn.
    Then he noticed another couple over behind a tree.
    Then he saw an other couple behind some bushes by the house.
    He walked up to the door of the house and knocked.
    A well-dressed woman answered the door and the man asked what kind of a place this was.
    "This is a brothel," replied the madam.
    "Well, what's all this out on the lawn?" queried the man.
    "Oh, we're having a yard sale today."

    Had a date with a female dentist today..I think it went very well...she wants to see me again in 6 months

    Paddy and a woman are kissing on a sofa. After a while the woman says to Paddy, "Let's take this upstairs." Paddy says, "Ok, you grab one end and I'll get the other."
    af since the fourth of July 2012...howzat then America..now proudly marching into year 12

    thanks Mick for your input as ever,pleased to hear Sandy is going in for routine maintenance as it were!Pets are a worry,I have my one bundle of fluff left now and he is so soppy.I'll be thinking of you and your fluffy friend tomorrow.

    Didn't sleep too great,awake at 530 fretting - focus was work - cause was the booze,and a bit of self neglect,went to bed in make up,didn't clean teeth or put bite guard in - also did very few steps and skipped the gym.I was a really grumpy old lady!

    Today is a new day,dressed in gym gear ready for spring cleaners arrival,I'm on a study day but am going to take it easy - do some study and some chilling because it's what I need to do for me. I am off to the gym AND going for a walk today,I may also call the free counselling line at work if I still feel anxious.

    The booze probably gave me a few heightened minutes of fun,those minutes would have been fun anyway just maybe 0.1% less heightened,and I would have been 100% present - and cigarettes too, all part of reminiscing of what jolly great fun it all was,when I was younger and regularly drinking and smoking.
    I sometimes regret not going travelling and moving away when I had the freedom,I was so scared though,I almost did it a couple of times.I felt so scared of who I would house share with after I travelled,what if my friends moved on etc,so I stayed put - drunk and having 'fun' - some of it was fun but would have been anyway.

    I have got some great friends,but I feel booze allowed me to stick with friends who maybe didn't have my best interests at heart. Now I don't massively want to travel right now BUT I want to not feel so paralysed by fear and trapped,and maybe I would like to take a sabbatical for 3 months at some point and travel to NZ and Australia and some bits of Canada/US/Europe.

    Except really it wasn't fun all of the time.It stopped me from feeling anxiety,fear,moving on with things that I needed to move on from.It kept me stuck in fear and the same old same old.

    I don't meant this to sound morbid - I just need to flush out exactly what booze gave and took from me - and why I want to move on.
    Without booze I am clear,calmer,focused,positive,happy and motivated.I can see the bigger picture and I don't get bogged down in tiny details that may be going wrong.I can make plans for the future and get excited about them.
    I can take stress in my stride without getting carried away with it.
    Have a great day everyone,I am determined to make this my last day 3.

      Morning Abbers,

      Mick, the anesthesia is such a worry. I'm so happy when I get the call that my pup is awake again after the operation; pup is happy when he gets the missed morning meal!

      Bear, sounds like you've got some valuable reflection going on. Good for you!

      Lav, waiting to hear how the weather gods treated you last night.

      Zero work opportunities this morning, so the day is a clean slate for ...?

        Good morning Abbers!

        I survived yesterday despite the kids, weather & everything else thrown in
        The boys were out of here by 9 pm so that was good. We ended up with thunder storms, lots of rain, no tornado thank goodness. It's mostly sunny out now & that's OK. I will be picking up the kids after school today & tomorrow & keeping them until one parent can get here. Never a dull moment.

        Mick, glad to hear Sandy is going to be OK. I'm sure she will forgive you when she's all fixed up & feeling better

        bear, just keep moving forward, don't look back!

        Pie, I hope you find a fun & interesting project today

        Greetings to everyone, I'll try to check in later.
        Have a wonderful AF day everyone!

        Lav

          Hey Pi,just can't get into study today - am letting myself do two hours and then I am off for a walk and to the gym.Seeing friend for cuppa tonight and just want to hide away and not see anyone.

          I'm so angry that I drank and didn't put me first,one step forward,two back.It's positive I'm loving being AF more and more,and stringing together longer periods of sobriety - two months and just under two months. Onwards - I will get this. I'm so frustrated at my anxiety - I need to look after myself better.

            morning all
            storms fortunately missed us, had a lightning show but that was all. I'm glad cause it takes forever cleaning the trees that go over.

            morning Mick, glad that Sandy is ok, sounds like routine stuff, sounded as if Sandy may have company soon??

            Bear, the thing about a fall is the ability to get back up stronger and wiser. Use it to your advantage for the "next time" and really keep this moment ingrained for when that taunting shithead starts doing its voodoo. You'll kick it right back in its void!!

            How you doing Pie? hope you enjoy you day of ?? Great to have an open day to do what you want!

            Morning Lav, get bad storms last night? How's the hens doing? Laying away??

            Off to work on a fence today... finishing a stretch started a couple of days ago. Easy post driving now with the moisture we got the other night.

            Be well friends, Det, hope you're doing ok,
            Sam

              I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:

                    MAE ALL...
                    Was up early this morning so headed into work. Good things because it was one thing after another. New program coordinator started today and the boss buggered off with a "sore tummy". So who's doing the training? :rant:

                    Mick...hope Sandy is ok and all goes well tomorrow. Please do post a bowl pic when things settle down for you.

                    Bear...great post. Could see myself in a lot of it. Hope you got out for a walk and to the gym. I'm hearing a very positive attitude keep it up. Could you send the cleaner over here when she's done!!

                    Lav...kids got pick up just in time for your bedtime. Well, at least mine. Glad the tornado didn't show up.

                    Pi...so what did you end up getting up to?

                    Sam...get the fencing project finished? At the ranch we sit on miles of clay, rock hard. Glad your post pounding was easier.

                    Pauly...people who have never experienced anxiety have no idea what we go through. Hope it eases soon and more AF time will certainly help. Not to disappoint you but I think it was close to 2 months before the anxiety finally left.

                    Got to get dinner on the table...garden meeting tonight and I'm not ready for it. Have a peaceful evening all.....:smile:PPQP

                      Hey PQ, Sounds like quite a bit left yet for you to take care of today. I just went out to my dad's to pay bills, do laundry, refill his meds, etc. Student testing through Wednesday means slim chance of work again tomorrow. If any of ya'll need help with anything, just holler, I'm available.

                            How do you do with chicken care & maintenance Pie?
                            I really, really need to get in there & do a thorough spring cleaning, if you know what I mean, ha ha!!!

                            PQ, you need an assistant ~ seriously!

                            bear, hope you are OK!
                            Same with you pauly! Don't let anxiety take control, it's a bitch to get rid of, I know. Use all of the Tools we have discussed here & elsewhere.

                            Sam, my hens seem to be happy & doing well. how's yours?
                            Now that all that rain has moved thru the temps are going to drop again, oh well.

                            Peace to all!
