friday da27th

[Mick]

mornin all...well how are we today then?all good ..and for those across the water all full up?congratulations..its now time to make the turkey soup/curry/salad/sandwiches!!!and yep black Friday it is too...so heres a quick note before I rush out to the shops to buy some absolutely useless piece of tat,previously on sale for the statutory period at a price that would have covered the uk national debt but now reduced to the sum of a kings ransom,without which my very being will be incomplete...that is of course if I survive the onslaught of the maddening crowds clamouring for the same life giving bargains.......................

anyway brew time.......

hiya Pauly...how was your yesterday then?saw the vid you were talkng about...dad dancing!! did it all go according to plan..loadsa turkey left?

hey Lav..how are you today then?did you survive the family get together?all the kidz,dogs and relatives...bet the animals are well pleased ..they on turkey left overs?so is it off to the Chrimbo sewin g shop today then....all Santas little elves there waiting to pick up the orders to deliver ?..ok ok so its UPS/FEDEX...but hey we can dream!!:happy2:heres a brew before you start...

hiya Kuya hows you today?hope things have calmed down with your daughter..think we have all been there with that one! I remember having some real blazers with Amy...she is probably the only person ever that has literally "nose to nosed me"without some immediate reaction to my personal space being invaded!!we still laugh at that now and again..things will work out with your daughter youll be fine :hug:
as for tt...I think pie was right..it was down to me simply trying to get a bit of a laugh going on here and it went from there..the result was a few people left,and various other actions,and it really left a bad taste in my mouth ..to the extent that I was going to just up and off..cba d...nuff said....

hiya ns...how are you today then?all good?I saw your post on the army ..re saying no?funny creatures arent we?you get an invite to something and you dont want to go but you do even at the detriment of your own well being...now why is that..hows the grandkids?

hey bear how are you today then?what are you up to?

hiya det...did you have thanksgiving at home or were you travellin?

right peeps ..have a great day and enjoy bargain hunting for those that are....

What's the opposite of Yvette Fielding?

Yvette Batting.

An American lady said to me: You don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Britain, do you?'.

I said, Yes we do! We celebrate the fact that the Pilgrim Fathers left our shores and took their loony tunes ideas somewhere else!

My wife's constantly making sarcastic comments about my receding hairline.

It's starting to wear a little thin.

"Is this ointment okay to use? " a man asks a chemist

"Why what's wrong with it? He enquires

"Well it says apply locally and I'm not from round here" said the man

How do you feel when there is no Coffee?

Depresso

I was laying down relaxing with my eyes closed last night when my wife walked into the room and said, "Why don't you take your tuxedo and shoes off?"

"Because I can't be bothered."

"Did you have a good evening?"

"Yes."

"How much did you have to drink?"

"What's with all the questions?" I said, "Can't you see I'm trying to have a bath?"

I walked passed a burnt out building with a broken sign saying "Fireworks"

How right they were.

hi Mick - up and about to get into shower,I'm not really into black friday either - tho I have gone crazy and bought a dressing gown I had my eye on anyway.Feeling much better,doing CBT in my head seems to be helping negative thoughts and I haven't meditated for about a week,but have been doig deep breathing more often. I'm just getting to grips with weight watchers - and sleeping a lot - no more 5am waking for me - hurray!

I always really appreciate TT's posts,she has a lot to say and share which has helped my thinking about booze. She does post on loamers thread so is still about here if anyone wants to chat.
Have a good day everyone.

My apologies for dredging up old pain guys...I should have made more private enquiries. I am just aware of how few are around when during my evening.

I know all about CBAd Mick! LOL I have been on and off of MWO more often than a rabbit on Viagra !

This is a community and people come and go like any community. But most wish the best for everyone and I know that Mick is one of the kindest people I have ever encountered.

Nuff said

Well guys...two days back posting and got this is my inbox.

I didn't realise there was a sell by date on sobriety but it would appear that I had exceeded it! LOLOL

they got 'you're' wrong. makes me think they're american.

i really dont understand the mentality of such thinking. i wont excuse it by saying they may be in a bad place. there is no excuse for that.

I checked their profile and they created it in October so no doubt it has been used to harass other people.
It is almost certainly someone still drinking and who has probably been banned for their behaviour under a different name.

I kinda feel sorry for them, you have to be a very sad and damaged person to go to this trouble.

But thank you for taking time to reply Blink

Morning all
doing a take er easy morning fore getting out the door. Had a full day of doing the do: clean my chimney, cut firewood, feed critters, kinda something missing not going out to hear the grunting of pigs, but my wallet feels better. Went to my son's place last night for duck, very tasty. Football (American, that is), then a good night rest.

Morning Mick, black Friday???!! where? never have really paid any attention to it, I never could find a good camping space at Walmart parking lot.

Kuya, that pretty messed up getting a PM like that. Not sure moderators even exist here any more. Wondered if it were a possible old enemy from the past?

Off to get get rocking, that easy morn drawing to an end!
be well

Kuya, interesting that MalO is using the same avatar that I do! Makes me think she knows we are friends, I have a feeling I know who she is. A toxic, bitter soul. B
Edit to correct: Its a parody of my avatar. Sorry, eyesight is going.

Good morning Abbers, happy Black Friday

We had a great turkey day!
My oldest grandson stayed overnight. He's in celebration mode, tomorrow is his 7th birthday!!
Time really does fly, makes me feel oldish, ha ha! His arrival made me finally pull my head out of my a$$ & scrap the wine fir good. Bless him :hug:

Mick, I am heading to Curves now them getting back to work. No shopping in the maddening crowds for me either.

Hi bear, hope you have a relaxing kinda day!

Kuya, I have learned to ignore those spamming idiots. They have to be drunk or warped in some way to write nastygrams like that!!

Sam, I hear we are in for three days of rain, ugh.mstill better than snow!

Greetings to the rest of the crowd. I will check in later.
Have a fabulous AF day everyone!

I hope Mal doesn't push you away, Kuya - clearly s/he's got some problems.

Ok, Rox, you're in trouble for this one :haha:

As the Eternal Editor, I must admit I noticed (and was offended by!) that, too!

I get my vitamin D (and A and other good stuff) from fermented cod liver oil. Tastes nasty but does the job.

Mick, learning to say No (nicely :wink certainly is a good thing. I'm getting pretty good at it except with the grandsons - there I'm a total push-over!

Have a great day, Abbers!

MAE All, Tis a meaty thread this morning, eh? Surely I have an opinion, but must start with important stuff. Mick, check out this discarded bed frame at my condo dumpster. Wondering what it might become with some titivating from you?

I'm ridiculously relieved to have made it though yesterday's family gathering with no new regrets. I had completely stressed myself into an irritable mood in advance of it, but managed to shake it off and be a good guest. On arriving back home, some neighbors were gathered nearby for cocktails. It sounded too tempting, so I just walked the dogs and called it a night.

As for the question you asked Kuya, I think the silliness we saw doesn't rise to the level of needing a private inquiry. No worries from where I'm sitting. I think folks who go looking for something to take offense at will ALWAYS find it. Unfortunate that the jokes we look forward to daily were targeted, but it could have been anything. Seemed a bit of a fluke really, no malice, but led to hurt feelings anyway.

Speaking of malice, that pm you received certainly qualifies, Kuya. Hope you take all the moments you want. As a voracious reader of this board, I've benefited from a great number of your posts, and look forward to more.

Hi Bear, hi Sam, looks like I won't be bumping into most of you in the shops today. Oh wait, I'm not going to any shops today! Drove by a Best Buy last night with an overfull parking lot and crowds of folks at the doors. No thanks, but I did wonder what bargains they were getting.

Hi Blinky Roxy!

My day is wide open. Wonder what Lav and Pauly are up to?

[Pie]

Morning Byrdy and NS! xpost

[paulywogg]

Mae everybody,I know I've seen that avatar before in some older threads, same trouble making then too, there are no moderators here period! That same person selling narcotics is all over the boards still,the meds section is a wreck,the only thing that gets cleared up quick is the weird spam and I think that's some filter or something, Kuya don't let that asshole piss you off,shoot I've been called dumb,a cancer,etc,its what happens when we belong to a forum for addicts,some have deeper issues than the addiction itself,I woke up kinda depressed I think its pre-chrimbo stress,or the overeating yesterday,lack 'o exercise,etc,Mick,I remember when those 2 got pissed at the jokes,I thought they were stellar jokes,just cutesy,its not like you're racist or make fun of handicapped people or something, and I say now as I said then that I appreciate the effort you put into posting jokes,brightens my morning, I told hubs and Brady the one about the guy who wanted his willy to touch the ground and the genie made his legs dissapear, they laughed so hard!great way to start their day not much else to add,will get our tree today and by chrimbo it'll be so dry the ornaments sag but oh well,much love to all,have an ace Friday peeps

[blink]

i enjoy the jokes too, most of them. those i dont i know someone else will.

i made the grammar comment because its something i have noticed on the web. it was certainly not a dig and i hope it wasnt taken as one. im not a grammar nazi but i do notice these things..................................yes i know mine aint all that :newhere:

hi pie!

[Byrdlady]

It looks as if MalODrama has registered three times, a little difference in spellings of the name, and has now deleted all the posts. No doubt, an angry, frustrated, drunken post.
