Hi all,

PP I am so sorry about the 2 years lost work. That is so hard to come to terms with. I just hope you can get some back.

MM You have been so supportive to all this week my heart goes out to you.

Jen, Hope you are still feeling good. You are stronger than you realise.

Beth, I pray for your niece. This week is going to be so hard for your family, whatever the outcome on Monday.


I am going to sleep at Mum's house tomorrow night. Two years ago on Feb 11th my next door neighbour down from me died suddenly during the night. Last year on Feb 11th the next door neighbour up from me died suddenly during the night.

Love to all of you as always

Love you all.

Good morning everyone,

Hi Waves and SM-Mary. Waves that is so canny about your neighbors. One of my friends just shared a story with me that she's shared with no one. Her husband died in Feb 2 years ago. She is in her 50's now. The first child she was pregnant with died at 9 months because the cord wrapped around her neck on the same day her husband died. The doctors wanted her to deliver naturally and then had to take the baby after due to infection. I started crying when she told me. I never do that. I felt so bad for her. She's my boss.

PP I am so sorry you lost all the work. I am anal and organized as well so I can just imagine you are killing yourself right now. Just take a deep breath and it will be fine. In time.

Jen- How did the letter writing go?
Beth I am thinking of your niece and wishing her the very best.
How are you doing Lush?

MM you are always such an inspiration here and so are all of you. Even if I don't say it enough and to each of you individually, I read each of your posts and am so thankful I found each of you.

Good morning everyone -

Its still pretty cold here (duh, its February) but not the bone chilling cold it has been. When I read the weather reports of 114 inches of snow in upstate NY I just say "Hey, cold and dry ain't soooo bad!!!!!" 114 inches - and its still snowing -- what the heck do you do with all that snow!

Jen -- 7 days and going strong! That's fabulous! You must be feeling great. Enjoy it - you deserve it. Hope to be close behind you on that.

PP -- I would be in data mourning too. My life is on my PC. Its a good lesson to remember to back stuff up regularly and also, be aware of what's on there. I have lots of personal stuff I wouldn't want people to have. I may rethink where I store things. I hope all works out for you with this. And as for hubby - Umm, one spreadsheet vs entire PC? Send him to Lush for the appropriate thrashing!

Allie - Can I come for dinner since you have decided to serve all my favorites? Yummy. So glad to see you doing well again. Keep it up.

Jude - That headache is a bear! What do you take for it? They are using Topa (believe it or not) for migranes now. I think its a daily dose thing. Anyway, I hope you get some relief soon. I used to get a migraine every 4-6 weeks that would just level me. My cousin said she used to get them and then she started getting a massage every 2 weeks and they stopped. I naturally did not believe her. But I was deperate. i started going for a massage every 3 weeks and i was migrane free for almost 18 months. I guess it helps relieve some stress. Anyway, you'll find what works for you. I feel for you - they are brutal.

Beth - Thinking of you and your neice.

Lush - Feel better Chicklet. We'll be loading up ANOTHER bus with all our bad, misbehavin' husbands for you to smack. Won't that help?

I have a dinner with friends tonight and desperately want to be AF. Wish me strength. I have 2 days (I know - big deal) but its a start. I had many wines on Wednesday and then something happened and scared me straight. no wines Thurs or Fri. Would like to keep it up. I almost want to stay home so I am safe but we are going to King Tut exhibit and then to dinner - I have no excuses....

Have a good day all -- and all who follow!

Hello all
It seems that quite a few people have painful memories around this time of year, coupled with the february blues so this must be a tough time. I am sorry for that. I wish you all strength and hope you all know i love you. Waves, that is a very strange "coincidence"? that you are describing and I dont blame you for wanting to be away from home tomorrow night. Love ya!
SM Mary - Its nice to see you - how have you been sweety? I havent heard too much from you though i know you have been busy
Beaches i hope you are well today - you are an inspiration to us as well and i hope you know that!
Hawk - 2 days is a big deal - dont underestimate what you have done. Whatever happens tonight, even if you dont go AF, please dont let that deter you from the bigger goal. You are doing great. I pray for strength for you, and for all of us.
Fan- wise words as always. You sound great. Love you.
Well, on day 8 today - and its the weekend - and it wasn't that hard last night honestly. We went to some friends' house for dinner and politely said we were not drinking at the outset as a health/cleansing thing and they said alright and cleared the wine glasses and replaced them with water glasses. It was that easy! I then proceeded to get ridiculously high on caffeine but that is a different story.
I went and bought these latte things in a box which i love - and imagine hubby's face when I walk in the door with about 10 boxes of it. God. I guess I overdo everthing LMAO!!
Anyways love you all
Jen

Jen, You make me laugh. I can barely tolerate one cup of caffeine. Have you started the CDs yet? PLease let me know how they are working for you.

Waves, that is a very spooky story. I hope you have a nice time with your mom.

Fan, that is just such a painfully sad story. I know they were all very special people in your lives. So hard to understand.

SM, nice of you to check in. You are much too quiet around here during the week. I think your job is getting in the way.

Hawk, Sounds like you are getting back on track. I know you can moderate tonight if you do decide to have a drink. Think of how good you will feel in the morning.

Beaches, you are cracking me up over on the other thread about getting the last word in.....

I love all of you and am so grateful to "know" you.........Happy Saturday to all still to come.

Good Saturday afternoon Moddies,

Waves, you are so sweet to sleep at your Mum's to make her feel safe.

SM Mary, You know I love you too!

Beaches, (still wierd calling you that) How are you?

Hawk, I wish you strength today:l

Fan, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Loosing loved ones, especially unexpectedly, is the hardest. I'll be saying a prayer today too.

Jen, congratulations on 8 days. You are an inspiration....I think soon I will be ready to try to go AF for a period of time too. It's just time.

Lush, You are sweet


I'm letting old habits get the best of me. I realize it and hope I can pull it all back together soon.

Love Ya,
Rachele

My alcoholism grabbed that excuse and ran a sprint from there.

God, that is a powerful sentence and one I can really relate to. I know exactly the time and place my alcoholism grabbed its excuse. Really powerful stuff that comes out of that mouth of yours sometimes, Mr. Fan. Key word being sometimes.

Hi Modsville!

I just had to add my two cents worth to the thread here.
I have a friend in Kansas and she told me that around this time last year their highschool group got together at her house. One guy that was there last year died of a massive heart attack a couple of months later. Well when they met this year at my friend's house, a lady that had breast cancer(in remission) sat at the very spot the dead guy sat at the year before. She said."I had a strange feeling come over me when I saw her sitting there".. A couple of weeks later she phoned me and said.."The lady has cancer again and is undergoing treatments again".
I've always heard that we have "gut" feelings and we should not ignore them.

Mike that was a very thought provoking sentence about alcoholism.
I too have a time in my mind when I took a turn...
I'm trying to learn how better to handle those times.
God bless you. ALL

Afternoon modders...
I hate to say this, but Lex really let me down yesterday. Okay... I wont blame it on Lex, I'll just own it. Last night was the first time I have drank too much since starting it, so I hope that doesnt mean it will not still work for me as it has. I just pushed passed it last night... I think I just was determined. I dont know why... well sort of, but still.

Anyhoo... I have ALL these people coming over for dinner tonight and have no idea how I am going to pull this off the way I need too! I've got my kids all vacumming and cleaning and I am still trying to remember all the ingredients to the marinade I always make. And 22 twice baked potatoes.... anyone want to come help me out here??? I'll feed you!

Sigh.

Love all you guys!
Allie
