how often do we stop to think of it's real meaning & how it pertains to us?

Today I was writing to a friend... as I typed out those words, tears welled in my eyes.
It finally hit home... it internalized.... not only did I finally 'get it"...
I finally felt it.
I love your words of wisdom FA. Thank you for all that you share - both the fun and the serious!!

Angel!
LMAO!!!!
How in the world can any mere mortal in this dreary world be so creative??
Angel surely must be one of those aliens even Arthur C.Clarke( R.I.P.!) & Issac Asimov failed to divine.
Also Angel, don't resort to unfair tactics in your quest to score brownie points. I was busy practising my skills of repartee trying to soak up all humour wisdom buried in the vaults of previous threads/ discussions.(And of course shamelessly plagiarising those without IPR concerns thereafter...)...Close your eyes...Recollect Rocky Balboa running up the steps of Philadelphia Art Museum or Mental Asylum or whatever...and then entering the ring to emerge victorious... That was how I was aiming to feel after my research exertions. And you in your impatience and probably with a lurking fear that I'm putting the intervening period to good use to sharpen knives and recharge ammunition, have put paid to my vision.
Also, howmuchever I wish to appear all-knowing, sage and wise in my posts, you are succeeding in drawing the child out of me..... Keep drawing him away...
Ya, for the record and to stay however obliquely relevant to the site ( and expecting that this line ensures that I don't get thrown out) , 20th day alcoholfree..
..tkeene..sorry for not succeeding in my earlier intention....
..Doggygirl..this post is actually an endurance test for your liking...

Hi Fallen,
Thank you so much for inviting me to this thread. I'm late for work, but when I get home I look forward to reading all the posts! I'm not an abstainer (except from cigarettes) is that ok?

"There...that should take care of him for awhile" she smirked with an evil grin... "Now where was I??
Oh yeah.... as I was saying ladies....it's all about practice & honing our skills. I have searched far & wide, and have finally come up with highly effective & motivating training course for all of us here. You know, it's very important that we stay sharp & on guard at all times."

Welcome Mimi! So glad you found your way over here!!

(Oh...just for the record, I don't mind being called by my last name....we're very informal around here, except for Mr D LameName that seems to have a permanently wedged stick up his.... oh never mind) lol

Of course it's alright that you're here..... you never know, I just might turn you into a convert
Although there are people here that are not long termers (yet), or are in the stages of moderating... this is a place where I can practice the tools that have kept me sober for this many months, which include humor, reflection & friendship.
That being said, I'm sure as I type this, RJ has been busily setting up a new category & in the process of transferring this thread.... rumor has it, that we will now be located under "Useless".

Just popping in to say Hi to everyone! I'm going to have LOTS of cathing up to do once the Figure Skating event is over. Just wanted you to know FA that I still plan to continue as a Long Term Abster In Training.

Have a fabulous AF Day everyone!
