Good Day Booze Busters!!!
gelgit, I always wonder what it means when the news reports say a fire is "X % contained." Can you shed any light on that? Still sounds quite dangerous to me no matter what % "contained" it is. But I'm glad you saw some rays of sun!!!! I will try to do a rain dance for you. And no, you cannot have a video of that. About breeds changing over the years...the conformation show ring in the German Shepherd breed (and also in other breeds I think) is blamed heavily for changing the GSD breed into more non-workable slobs than dogs capable of doing the originally intended work. I would have to say I agree with that to a great degree with the American bloodlines, and to a smaller degree the German Showlines (which is what Ferguson and Kimba are). The Eastern European lines of German Shepherds are probably the closest to the original breed standard established around 1900 (actually late 1800's I think) with the Western European working lines the next closest. OK - enough dog history for one morning!!
Mame, I always wonder why mother nature distributes things like rain so unfairly. Some are flooded while others are burning down. Here's hoping you can send your extra rain to gelgit!! I think your hypno is onto something - let's declare July 4 INTERNATIONAL Independence from AL day. What is stroppy? Whatever it is, if it means you got 7 straight hours of sleep, uninterupted, all in a row, in the same night, then
I WANNA BE STROPPY!! I think that is VERY cool that you contacted the restaurant, and made a difference in their decision to carry more AF options. That no sugar added sparkly juice sounds pretty good! What flavors does it come in?
kaddy, travel safely to see your son. Congratulations on 118 days. Hmm...that's 2 days away from 120 days. That's 4 30 Day AFHF stretches in a row. Hmmmm.....
SHEEPISH!!!! YOU GO on getting Day 1 under your belt. WE CAN DO THIS!! On to Day 2. Just figure out a good plan that works for you.
Waving hello to all other Booze Busters. Hopefully all of us in the US have an EXCELLENT AF plan to get us through the upcoming holiday weekend. I got a whole bag of lemons at the store Tuesday. I plan to make some Louise Specials (gotta get mint today!) and also lemonade with Stevia. That and a firm decision that I WILL NOT drink alcohol will carry me through. And of course touching the life line here when needed!
I can't believe it's Day 43 AFHF here. I'm so focused on trying to get in shape and get this fat off my a$$ that I really haven't had more than the odd thought of AL recently, except for that "longing to celebrate" a bit last Sunday. I will enjoy this "peace" for however long it lasts!!
It's been a horrid slow week for business which is to be expected during a holiday week. I am trying not to panic!! This happens every year and most holiday weeks and I'm still not used to it. (we will celebrate our 5 year anniversary of our own business in September)
Well, have a great day everyone!!!!
