    I went to the doctor and said, "I'm having trouble 'satisfying' my wife."

    He said, "You should try what I do."

    I said, "What's that?"

    He said, "Earn £100k a year."

    Sometimes I get so angry I just want to go out and do judo moves on fat people.

    But there is no point throwing a wobbly.

    I went to a positive thinking class today.
    It was half-empty.

    Apparently Brad Pitt has an ugly brother called Cess...but this could be a load of crap.

    These wind farms you see everywhere are ridiculous. As if this country doesn't have enough wind of its own without wasting electricity making more of it by running these big fans.

    What do we want?

    - More Acronyms

    - When do we want them?

    - ASAP

    As I squeezed tomato ketchup and brown sauce all over my breakfast, my wife looked at me and said, "That's disgusting."

    "It adds more flavour," I replied, "Everybody does it."

    "Not on cornflakes they don't."

    Study: 25% of British toddlers know how to use an iPad.

    That's nothing. 100% of Chinese toddlers know how to make one.

    hey Mick - called in sick today and am having blood test this morning,hopefully will be fine but just as a precaution.

    So today = cat,sofa,planning food for week.

    I have slipped on the looking after me - the deep breathing and aromatherapy really helps and I love it,yet haven't done it.Definitely having a nice big bath tonight.

    I'm feeling a bit better but still a bit weak/no energy - plan to just read and plan healthy food,maybe watch a dvd.

    Have a good day everyone - day 3 with no ciggies - technically all out of my system physically now.

      I've just realised I'm just over 10 weeks sober too,had blood test,get my results in a week.

      Chilling out,thinking it may just be stress build up,no harm in having it checked though,pulse and BP all fine.

      I'm so much happier than 10 weeks ago and have made a lot of progress,I've more consistent with my exercise,enjoying feeling stronger and more toned,I'm having nutribullet smoothie every day,I've decluttered and have decorating planned.I'm also really tackling team issues at work and issues in my personal life.

      I'm going to look at my 'deliciously ella' book and plan two healthy meals to cook and keep in the fridge to keep me going for evenings for the week. Small steps,next step is planning more decluttering sessions into the diary,and one home yoga session a week - slowly and step by step I'm making my life better.

        Morning all
        thanks for the brew this morning, Mick. I'd be $$$ ahead if I could swap the daughter for the fridge!! Won't go down that path, though.

        Off to a morning meet up with a farmer. Suppose to be tich warm today so better early than late, then off to my favorite thing to spend money on: the dentist.

        Bear, glad you're sounding a bit better. I know it is only coincidental, but if I remember correctly, both you and Pauly are quitting the cigs and both of you all came down with some kind of bug/ailment. 10 weeks is great!! and every day it gets better. Small steps eventually makes big strides, so I hear!!

        Well, gots to get myself together. Be well good friends

            Good Monday morning Abbers!

            Today is day 3 of the latest heat wave, ugh! Not my favorite weather. I also have a case of poison ivy going so I'm more itchy than usual, ha ha.

            Thanks for the coffee Mick, it's helping!
            I really do not like driving so close to the horse & buggies but sometimes you have no choice. I've seen some horses get nervous & jumpy & nearly toss the occupants out of the buggies. I really wish they would stick to the back roads & stay off of the state highways. Summer goes on way too long around these parts so I am very jealous of your cooler weather

            Bear, glad you are taking care of yourself. Stick to your self care plan, it's important. Great job on both of your quits!

            Sam, I know you are feeling this heat too. Good idea to get the work done early
            I laughed at your mention of the chicks getting to the teenage stage. Big, dumb & non-productive at that point, ha ha!!

            I have lots of stuff to get done today but most of it will be inside the AC house and/or car. I am such a weenie in this extreme heat, oh well.
            Have a great aF day everyone.

              Morning All,

              Not to worry on the photo, Mick. I think you and Sam were inside cooking breakfast for everybody, leaving Det to take the pic. Better?

              PQ, your 3 year milestone has me wondering if you noticed differences between years 1, 2, and 3. Any insight(s) you gained that keep you going? Question open to all of you long timers, so please chime in if it suits.

                  Pie, in answer to your question - I think the major difference between years 1, 2 & 3, at least for me was feeling my confidence grow stronger. I had disappointed myself for so long I wasn't 100% sure I could pull off a permanent quit. But your confidence definitely grows with time so that's a good peaceful feeling. Staying connected here surely has helped me maintain my status too.

                  Pauly, Did you look under the seat in your car? I swear I lose more stuff & it somehow ends up under the seats

                  This was my 3rd day in a row with no kids around - peaceful, ha ha!!
