June 14th - Therapeutic Thursday

Hi everybody eace:

Thanks for getting us started out MKR!

Nancy that must have been hard to sit & and watch with out saying anything. I remember my Dad being really gruff when I was young...like walking on eggshells, trying to please em sometimes...My poor Mom(she's the real "saint")

Cassy- you're so lucky to have that kind of support @ home w/your Hubby. That's great!

Gita- Glad you're feeling better. Good job on being AF.

Lushy- Inquiring minds want to know... what's on your summer "to do" list?

Betty- Don't work too hard....
Sammys- Sounds like you've got your work done already...?:goodjob:

Paula- Hi! Great to see ya.

Still sending prayers to Beth, Lindsey, and Family... :lilangel:

Hope everybody has a good day,
Hugs & love to all,

Oh, I did get to go out for a nice paddle again yesterday. Saw a pair of river otters. Played tag on the water with them for a while... I had to grab Bungee's tail, ... thought he was gonna jump in after em! Also saw a snapping turtle sunning himself. Today's lookin like another beutiful one! Might just have to do it again! Thank God for simple pleasures!

Didit, have a wonderful trip and Happy Anniversary!! I have always wanted to go to Park City.

PP, when my daughter was 3 she was at the store with my in-laws and she pointed to the wine department and said to my FIL, "that is mommy's favorite part of the store." UGH!!!! Again, great job on all of your AF days.

P.S. Hi to everyone else that has posted since I said I was too busy to post. Someone please stop me.

Mary you are amazing! You must have been up before the sun. I posted last yesterday (so late I probably should have just started today’s!) so want to tell everyone again that yes, Mary is as nice in person as she is on the boards and I feel so lucky she was reading that thread about a walk around Green Lake. I spent much of yesterday finishing a job application but Lushy your post reminds me how lucky I am to have 9 weeks off, I remember when it used to seem so much longer, now it flies by. Happy planning! Glad you are feeling better Gita. Have a great trip DidIt. I’ve gotten behind due to the kitchen remodel estimator here this am and must get the dog out before it hits 90 but I’m really glad to hear how well everyone is doing. Hope everyone’s day continues to go well.

Louise, I feel lucky too, having stumbled across that post!! thanks for the company yesterday. You are quite fun to be around! I hope that everyone who lives near another MWO member can take the time to meet each other. It is an immediately deep and helpful connection to each other.

I was up before the sun but got 7 hours a sleep. Hubby put the history channel on at 9 last night and I got as far as, "In the 17th century . . . . blah, blah, blah . . . zzzzzzzzzzzz. Better than calms forte!

Optimist, one of my clients called me on his vonage phone and I asked him if he was sitting inside the aquarium downtown. It does suck!!

PP and Lushy, OUCH those stories, out of the mouths of babes! You were both much more open than I was. I only bought when I was alone.

Judie, I sure wish I could be on the water with you, sounds so great!!

Didit, have a wonderful trip!!

Det, I can not drink coffee past 11 in the morning or I will be up all night . . . unless we have the history channel going!

Janice and Cassy I think you two are doing super!! Gita, glad you feel better today.

Smoochy, Nancy - Family there is no accounting for the amount of grief you take on sometimes with them eh??!! Glad to see you over here.

BB, glad you are just busy, I was afraid those new CFM shoes made you super late for work and us!!

Sammys, hope you have a great day and do not work too hard. You seem to pull really long hours yourself.

xo to all,
Mary


PS: Nancy - Rachele use to write "Drunk is Ugly" for her signature. . . she was right.

Hi Everybody!

It's good to sign in and hear from so many of my trying to be mod (or non) drinking buds! Nancy, great to see you back. I agree with Rachele, drunk is ugly (at least I'm ugly when drunk and I don't even get mad!). Sorry you had to sit through alcohol-fueling family drama. As long as I don't drink, I can at least trust my family on alcohol. On other things, well . . . let's just say that I rely on my sense of humor a lot!

It's five o'clock and I am leaving work early. Hubby and child and away and I have a rare chance to straighten up this place. It's nearly impossible to do while they are away. I've got to make use of every minute so that means NO to wine. Better get to it!

My love to all.

trouble in moderation land

Hi all

Went out last night and moderated while out but didn't moderate when I got home.

I felt really disappointed today and am thinking of trying the 30 days route again just to get a break.

I went to a chinese doctor today and asked about kudzu. Would you believe, he has never heard of it? maybe it goes by another name in china. so he gave me an herb that he says will restore my balance and possibly diminish appetite for drinking.

I don't even know what it is because the box is all in chinese. it's cheap at just $3.25 for 200 pills. the herbs they sell are custom made and cost a lot more.

I probably will check another store.

I am wondering if the herbs you get at these kinds of places might be stronger than the pill form.

Nancy:

Not sure I would take them if you don't know what they are????? Cheapest is NOT always the best!
Hope you feel better soon.

Nancy, do you take the Kudzu sold here? It is excellent stuff and no comparison to other brands you find in health food stores. I would not be taking pills that you really know so little about.....

Hi, late check in for me

Started out very chaotic because I couldn't find the keys to get in my office at 6:15am this morning so that's why I couldn't start us off. However MKR you did an excellent job and I am glad to see we are both up at the same time. I love the mornings. That's why I am usually sound asleep by 9-10pm at night.

I agree that the Kudzu from here rules and lately I have been having some really big cravings so I have been breaking open the the L-Glut and pouring it right on my tongue and it does the trick.

I love you all and sorry I can't address everyone. Hope to get back later when the kids are in bed.
