    At 82 years old man applied for his first passport. He was told he'd need a birth certificate, but his birth

    affidavit from the doctor who delivered you."

    Billy used to love tractors. He had tractor wallpaper, model tractors, posters of tractors: if it came with tractors he had it. He would play with his toy tractors whenever he possibly could, and would stay up late into the night to spend extra time with his tractors. However, as he grew up, his interest in tractors faded.

    Billy settled down with a woman and eventually got married to her. She became pregnant and before he knew it he had two beautiful twin daughters. A few years passed. After arriving home from a long day at work he sees his kitchen on fire. He rushes inside to see his wife and kids trapped in a corner, screaming for help. Billy, remembering his past, knew what he had to do. He took a huge breath, sucking up all of the fire, and blew it outside.

    His wife was gobsmacked: "How on earth did you do that?"

    Billy replied, with a smile on his face: "I'm an ex-tractor fan."

    hey Mick,think I've missed all the chat on other threads,it still pops up fine on my search.I think groups evolve,but yes it's the people that have kept me coming back.This site has totally changed my thinking/life,no one around me thinking in this way/would get it.

    Sam - congrats on the job as well,all going on for you!
    Ok - moan alert!
    My anxiety is back,chest pain,feeling jittery and overwhelmed again,feeling I'm missing out by being sober.I think I'm going to see a hypnotherapist as i'm stuck in this loop and have been for years - had counselling on and off. Low self esteem,confidence,self doubt,anxiety about everything and nothing - then feeling overwhelmed and then drinking/eating badly/not exercising.

    Think my never ending to do list is a distraction/attempt to get better at same time,plus i get very demotivated so can literally do nothing,last night napped for hour,bed two hours later.

    Friend reckons me making space by stopping doing too much has allowed it to come out.

    I need to also keep it simple,walk more,exercise more and eat better/do basic housework
    one day at a time

      Morning all,

      Two-part mystery tours, Mick? Drop by anytime you're in the neighborhood; I always keep a to-do list handy. Love the George Washington quote!

      Bear, sounds like you're looking for some middle ground between doing too much, and doing too little?

      PQ, raising my hand for the Latin T-shirt. One in each color, please.

        morning all
        had a lovely day yesterday, thanks to all of you. Gonna be a hot day today, need to get a motorcycle inspected and build on another fence, looks like a good day for lots of water.

        Mick, thanks for the morning brew, the ex-tractor joke..... bad, oh so bad, but I like it!

        Bear, hope you do find that middle ground, sometimes the harder we try, the more entangled it becomes. Setting routines and keeping things simple may at least help.

        Morning Pie, what's on your to do list today? Hope you have a good one whatever your endeavors may be.

        Off to see if my bike will make it into town! Greetings to everyone
        later

            MAE ALL....Late check in for me. Home from a somewhat less exhausting day.

            Mick...thanks for the kickstart and the brew. Should have thanked you earlier but I too headed out early. Hope your day was successful. Now about the 2 part mystery tours, can you finish the sentence that starts with "nope think not...they fall into 2 parts tho...." please?

            Bear...sorry you're going through this but I think you got it right at the end of your post...."I need to also keep it simple,walk more,exercise more and eat better/do basic housework"

            Pi...Tshirts in the mail. What did you get up to today?

            Sam...agree with you on the ex-tractor joke. LOL Did your bike make it into town?

            Pauly....glad you popped in was worried about you. Have you come up with any ideas about how to handle the emotions/discomfort yet? You know if you type those words into the search at the top of the page you'll get a list of posts that may be of some help. Keep posting as this is a safe place for you to be. :hug:

            Off to figure out what to throw in the microwave because that's the extent of cooking tonight! Have a peaceful evening all......:smile:PPQP

              Hey PQ, For me it was a shamefully lazy, stress-free day listening to the rainfall, and reading.

              Looking forward to Mick's reply to your question.

                Seriously late check in for me

                I have been super busy all day, just no time to sit down with my laptop.

                Mick, I generally don't try to get any work done when the kids are here. I'm still afraid to take my eyes off the younger ones for too long. I either try to get done before they arrive or wait until they leave. Sometimes that means I'm in my shop at midnight - oh well.

                bear, it's not easy finding balance but once you do you will be more comfortable with everything. I totally believe in the hypnotherapy approach

                Hi there Pie - hope you had a good day.

                Pauly, glad you dropped by today. No more beating yourself up, heal & stay on the AF journey with us :hug:

                So did your bike pass inspection Sam? I need to get my car in soon too.

                PQ, people can do amazing things with a microwave, ha ha!!!
                Wouldn't it be nice to come home to a freshly cooked meal every night? We can always dream

                SF, Det, hope you are both OK.

                Greetings to anyone I've missed. Have a peaceful night everyone!
