good morning all,
firstly thank you all so much for your thoughts,each and every one of you,I didnt really feel too much like posting,and couldnt give it the input I like,plus no one likes to hear me moping n moaning all the time ..not even me!things are a bit tough at the moment,Julies dad,is finding it hard at times to come to terms with it,55 years married next week is a long time,and with dementia in there too,its a bit of a mixed pot.we will get there,in the end,
all I will say is ,I am so glad I dont drink...both on a practical and personal level..the number of times I have had to just jump in the car and do something,to hug and hold my wife and daughter..thats 2 separate people
without stinking of booze or talking absolute shite,to remain level headed etc..I could not have done this without having quit
Iwas reading the oney story about the quit and how it wasnt all love and roses,...the one that Mario put up..and yes I dont know if we think by quitting it will be the same as "mums magic kiss"remember them as a kid when you hurt yourself?but what quitting does do is gives you the quality of dealing with the issues clearly,sometimes logically ,sometimes not,but at least you know what its about....for anyone trying to quit and finding it tuff...it is worth it I know at this very moment.
thats enuff of me yapping,
brew time....
morning tt...sorry to hear that it sounds like you have had not so good news..you know where I am ...I know its hard but keep positive..sometimes there are issues that arent within our gift to fix,but maybe trying to mend or look at alternative peripheral issues will help...does that make sense?:hug:
Mario my friend how goes it in portugalia? all good ..thanks for your thoughts mate..
Starty ,the same goes ..thank you..hows you today?you been out with the dogs running recently?weather has been pretty bad,so guess maybe not.
Ppqp..and a good morning to you..thank you for your kind words :hug:...reading your post ..wow how things have changed...I remember when you were tommy ten hatz,you hated your job ,was going to throw in the towel,couldnt stand certain people there etc..and now...well just read what you wrote!good for you..
hiya Lav,firstly a super big thank you to you for your help,and secondly heres a big brew for the last 4 days..!as you say it is difficult ,and yep its no different for us than what other families goes thru on a daily basis..but when its got your personalised plates on it,then it becomes different...hows the business doing?you getting your xmas orders in?hows the greenhouse doing?we have got what they call a Siberian winter..so might just go there see what theyve got instead...

My local pub is pretty rough.
I went to the quiz the other night and the first question asked was, "What the fck are you looking at?"
I was driving when I saw the flash of a traffic camera. I figured that my picture had been taken for exceeding the limit even though I knew that I was not speeding. Just to be sure, I went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed.
Now I began to think that this was quite funny, so I drove even slower as I passed the area once more, but the traffic camera again flashed. I tried a fourth and fifth time with the same results and was now laughing as the camera flashed while I rolled past at a snail's pace. Two weeks later, I got five tickets in the mail for driving without a seat belt.

At the barbers yesterday, I asked to have my hair cut like Tom Cruise, so he gave me a cushion to sit on.
