Good morning all,

Lots to do today. Taking the old hound to the vet today for a chiropractic adjustment. Finally making chili. Ended up making a tomato tart last night instead because a sick neighbor craved it.

Hubbie traveling next two nights so have to be careful. Last time I was successful by keeping busy until later in the evening, then allowing myself two glasses of wine with tv. I think that is where I am headed tonight. I have lots of work on the computer entering my recipes into macgourmet so that should keep me busy.

How was everyone's w/e?

Hey Ducky.

Well I drank to much the weekend, but Day 1 AF. If Joe and I manage to not drink during the week I will be happier. We have been procrastinating so much on things, we really need to get off the stick and DO them!

I'm going to doc and getting new anti-D tonite. Effexor is not cutting it and once in a while I accidently skip one or two then the side-effects are HORRIBLE! I can't have that.

Hope everyone had good weekend.

good morning

Glad to see you guys here! I moderated this weekend too, actually feel pretty good about that, I was trying for 30 days, "the ever evasive 30 days AF!" don't know if I'll ever do that(or if I really want to!?)

Right now, the drinking is out of boredome, can't go to the gym, can't ride the horses, really weak still, can't wait to start intensive physical therapy on this knee!! My left knee (the one that had surgery)is so weak, MAJOR atrophy, lost about all muscle tone:upset: I kinda expected that but not sooooooooo much!

Enough of that, hope everyone had a great weekend and wishing you all a wonderful Monday

Love and hugs!!!

Glad to see you on track MA! Sorry you still not mobile enough for your liking...all in due time.

I am in the same boat as Hart and drank too much this weekend. I am catching it now before it gets too out of hand. I am trying to get back on track with exercise as well. I stopped jogging before the holidays and I have put on weight. I am not calling any of it a "New Year Resolution" because I just hate those. I am just gettting back to where I was and healthier all the way around. I have no excuses as life is not as hectic right now and weather is fantastic!

Hi All,

Ducky my weekend was good thanks, your cooking stories make me sooo hungry .....

Hart, good luck with the new anti-d's. it can be an awful thing to deal with :l

MA, I couldn't help but think about you saturday night, we were watching a quiz on TV, and the question was 'which state is Tallahassee in?' ...
I had never heard of it till meeting you and kept screaming FLORIDA at the tv, they got it wrong and lost the money but I was smiling ........

PP ..... Get back on track with that exercise ......

Love & Hugs to everyone here ........ shame that we aren't busier in mods ....

hey all
just quickly checking in with the modster crew.
I had a good weekend. went on a date that turned out really nice except that mr date likes to drink a lot.
I don't have the energy to invest in starting a relationship with someone who parties every day.
other than that I am well.

Hey Ya'll:welcome:

Any lurkers that aren't posting..don't be shy...just jump on in! We are getting kinda quiet down here in Modsville!
It's never stopped me before though...I have been known to just keep on talking..even if I'm the only one around... Just your basic "Jabberwalkie"

Whew! Had a Hell of a day here @ our house yesterday! I had 2 friends over for hilighting & hair dying/pool playing day... (kinda ..girls day in...)

We were having so much fun Hubby was afraid to come home...he ended up going to the bar to watch a ball game after golfing, to give us more time! LOL ( I answered the phone panting ..because I was on the eliptical, waiting for my hi-lighting to take effect...so when I answered the phone, out of breath... I mentioned I had strange white creamy stuff in my hair... that Jerry or Joe had put there...) Her name is Jari Joe LOL!:H

My poor Hubby .

So later, when we're playing pool. After hubby is home, just when things were starting to wind down. Still don't know what caused it... but our 2 big dogs got in a fight! One of them is a great pyrrenease mix & the other is a rottwieler mix..both BIG! I've never seen them go @ it like that! I grabbed the tail of the Great pyrreneease & was pulling him as hard as I could,..he wouldn't let go of the other dog. Hubby was pulling on rotty...we barely got them apart. Hubby got both hands bitten! We had to take him to the emergency room about midnight. He has puncture bites on both hands, and very sore. They gave him a tetaness(sp) shot and cleaned & bandaged him. Could've been much worse...considering the size of our dogs! It was scarey.

I'm thinking just all of the activity of having company & the new pool table,..the furniture is all moved around... the dogs like to watch the pool balls, and think it's fun to try & get the que ball out when it drops. Gonna have to put a stop to that!

Here's to a calmer day...

I had two rotties, both male, that started to fight when they went through their puberty years. We had scary fights where hubby and I had to pull them off eachother. I had them both fixed and within 6 months (that's how long it can take to rid them of all those raging hormones) they were peaceful again.

These two are sleeping peaceful now ...looking like angels...
They are 8 years and about 3 years old... both neutered.

I'm not really sure what it was that set them off... but all of a sudden all "H" broke loose!

Hey all!

I'm bored at the moment as I'm sitting in hotel room with nothing to do, so am jumping on here! I drank too much last night --- travelling with in-laws will do that do people even if they dont have a drinking problem! My mother-in-law can very critical of us "daughter-in-laws" -- she has 3 boys and there is no woman on earth in her opinion that deserves them. Anyway, she talks very critical about the other two DIL's, so I am sure she does the same when I am not around. She is just got something to say about everything and everybody, so being here in her hometown with everyone she grew up with and all the relatives has got me wanting to drink! Actually I came just to win a few brownie points with her (and for the great restaurants and frequent flyer miles, but dont tell HER that) since the other two DIL's could not come, its making me look pretty good. :H For now anyway. Yesterday we flew all day and she hates to fly, so by last night I was sending out my brother-in-law for wine. So we basically had a party in the hotel room with my husband and his brothers and I drank like one of the boys. I hate to say it, but it was fun but today I had to do the funeral thing and had a headache all day. Everyone else flew home today but us and hubby's parents, so I am PRAYING they are too tired to go out to dinner tonight so my husband and I can go ALONE! I've got wine here in the hotel room, so I'm jumping on here instead. Really dont need to drink tonight as I have to fly all day tomorrow. Anyhow, that's my little check in! You guys all sound great!

Hi all I have been lurking. I joined MWO in NOV 07 and did 39 days AF right away. Now I want to try moderation as I obsess about NOT drinking when I try long term abstinence. I don't know if I can moderate or not, but would like to try.

Hey Prest, I would be drinking too. In laws are a special breed, almost all of them.

Welcome Rosalind. Mods is work but great if you can do it. Good luck and keep posting. Let us know how it goes.
