    af day Wednesday...make your own date up!!!

    Morning all, and how are things today?Middle of the week already..So whats everyone up to today then on this wonderful Wednesday?Had a pretty busy day yesterday...went swimming , did another 70 lengths of the pool..my goal to reach for the end of this month is to walk there swim, and then walk back..10 mile walk, and swim.Weather over here is cold but bright and sunny..was in the shops yesterday,..saw some bargain plants, rhododendron bushes reduced in price from 14.99 to 2.99 ,also strawberry plants 1.29 for 6 and some bedding plants..trouble is it is too cold really to put them in just now!but ..a bargains a bargain!!

    Tea and coffee on the go for any who want/need it!..me def included

    Morning TT...guess you are on your travels this morning, hope you are enjoying yourself


    Morning ltlw..how are you today?Think positive ..Kuya is right..this si it ..and yes you will get those feelings back, anyone of us does, but they dont last ..just ride them out its only a craving..believe in yourself and keep up the exercise ..you can and will do it..This will be a good day..voor I drink niet !!

    Morning Kuya ,how are you mate? stick with it..I remember having this conversation with myself too...couldnt see any improvement immediately when I gave up smoking, in fact at times felt worse, then questioning it all....when I was younger used to do a lot of running..both forced and free will, with backpacks on, through all sorts of terrain, and I smoked then ...so you question how come I could do it if smoking is so bad? and I kept thinking back to this sort of crap...but of course when you are younger ,your body takes a lot of unnecessary punishment that you dont realise...until you are older.It is worth it mate, even when you start to think whats this all about? I dont drink or smoke.
    Ramblings over ..hope you are well..hows business doing?You getting there?

    Morning Lav..and how are you today? Snuggle up with this coffee Ive just made you and wait for the good weather! does get frustrating not being able to get out tho.As foor the weight..got myself into one of those mindsets at the mo, so as they say make hay while the sun shines..first holiday will adjust that lot, I certainly dont starve on them!!!Any plans for today? whatever you do ..enjoy

    Morning ppqp..how are you today? after the holiday feeling, things back to normal?so hows thing with you in general ..you doing ok? whats today going to bring you?..apart from this coffee..have a great day

    Morning BHOG..yep there are days when there is nowt to report on ..but the main thing is as you say...I am sober so well done..sod the techie probs!!

    Hiya Cat. how are you doing? did you enjoy the time with your son?just read your post again..you mention al once and then move on..now doesnt that prove to you an attitude change.....well done :wd:

    Morning SL....how are you today?Isnt it strange ..the world for you is calm, peaceful, no hassles or any thing...and you want to reward yourself with a drink? we all do that..same old voice..yep just the one , one wont hurt...but it usually does ,cos we dont/cant stop at one!!You are doing really well..any plans for today or are you on call? whatever..have a good one.

    Right everyone,moscow..off to let the rabbits out..have a great day

    More sad news that a man has died at a chocolate factory after lots of boxes fell on him. He tried in vain to save himself, but when he shouted " the milky bars are on me " everyone just cheered !!

    I've just called in to see my dyslexic friend- he was busy covering his penis with black shoe polish.I said to him "You idiot ! you're supposed to turn your clock back !.

    British Rail are lying bastards !!!
    They say if you stand too close to the platform edge,you'll get sucked off.
    Eight hour's!!
    Eight bloody hour's I've wasted today.

    I've invented a golf ball that automatically goes in the hole if it comes within a foot.They've been a huge success.Just don't carry them in your back pocket.

    A bloke walk's into a bookshop and says: "Do you have that self help book for men with small willies?"
    Female assistant replies: "I don't think its in yet."
    He replies: "Yeah that's the one.

    I went on Dragons Den the other night and showed them my dads old shot gun, Peter Jones said "and whats your idea" i replied "it's a simple concept Peter just put the cash in the fking bag.

    Paddy on a first aid course and the instructor asks, "What would you do,if your child swallowed the front door key ?" Paddy replied, "Climb through the window!"

    A guy goes down for breakfast and it is quite obvious that his wife has the hump with him. He asks what is the matter. She replies, "Last night you were talking in your sleep and I want to know who Linda is?" Thinking quickly on his feet he tells her that Linda was 'Lucky Linda' and was actually a name of a horse that he bet on that day and won ?40. She seemed quite happy with the explanation and he went off to work. When he got home that night, his wife had the hump with him again. asing her what the matter was now, she replied "Your horse phoned."

    I was driving down the motorway yesterday when my missus all of a sudden piped up and said, " I think those people in that car are from Wales." I asked her why she thought that and she said "Well what they've written on the window looks welsh to me, stit ruoy su wohs"

    "I am going to call my kids Ctrl, Alt and Delete. Then if they muck up I will just hit them all at once.

    ?I saw the movie, 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' and I was surprised because I didn't see any tigers or dragons. And then I realised why: they're crouching and hidden? -

    "What is it with McDonald's staff who pretend they don't understand you unless you insert the 'Mc' before the item you're ordering? It has to be a McChicken burger...a chicken burger gets blank looks. Well, I'll have a McStraw and jam it into your McEyes, you f**cking McTosser!"

    My wife had a go at me last night. She said, "You'll drive me to my grave." I had the car out in thirty seconds."

    An Irishman goes into the confessional box after years of being away from the Church. There's a fully equipped bar with Guinness on tap. On the other wall is a dazzling array of the finest cigars and chocolates.
    Then the priest comes in. "Father, forgive me, for it's been a very long time since I've been to confession, but I must first admit that the confessional box is much more inviting than it used to be."
    The priest replies: "Get out. You're on my side."

    "So I went to the Doctor's yesterday. He said, "What appears to be the problem?" I said, "I keep having this dream, night after night, beautiful girls rushing towards me and I keep pushing them away." He said, "How can I help?" I said: "break my arms."

    The pipes in our house have always been terrible, and over the past few months sediment has been building up in them. This morning, upon entering the airing cupboard, I was surprised to see a long green plant of the onion family growing out of the side of them.
    The pipes had sprung a leek.

    A lady walks into Harrods. She looks around, spots a beautiful
    diamond bracelet and walks over to inspect it. As she bends over tolook more closely, she unexpectedly farts.
    Very embarrassed, she looks around nervously to see if anyone noticed her
    little whoops and prays that a sales person was not anywhere near.
    As she turns around, her worst nightmare materialises in the form of a
    salesman standing right behind her? Good looking as well!
    Cool as a cucumber, he displays all of the qualities one would expect of a
    professional in a store like Harrods.
    He politely greets the lady with, 'Good day, Madam. How may we help you
    today?
    Blushing and uncomfortable, but still hoping that the salesman somehow
    missed her little 'incident', She asks, 'Sir, what is the price of this lovely bracelet?'
    He answers, "Madam - if you farted just looking at it - you're going to shit
    yourself when I tell you the price!"

      Good morning Abbers & Happy Hump day

      Still below freezing & that stinks. What have we done to our planet to make the weather so odd?

      Thanks for the coffee Mick, on cup #2 already
      I am heading to Curves then to Longwood. Meeting with my daughter & grandaughter for a stroll thru the nice warm conservatory - yay!
      You have become an exercise machine, haven't you? :H

      Kuya, so sorry about your business!
      I opened mine 10 years ago, did well until the economy tanked & has been limping along ever since. Some of these thing truly are out of our control. What else do you think you would like to do?

      Wishing everyone a wonderful AF Wednesday, April 3, 2013!!!!!

        ...sorry work has gone to shite. Hope you can get things sorted soon.

        Lav
        ...sounds like you have a lovely day ahead of you.

        As predicted it's snowing outside. Going to have a second cuppa as I'm in no rush to venture out. After dealing with weekend emails all day yesterday I have a pretty easy going work day ahead of me. Have a warm AF Wednesday all and all to come....PPQP

          MAE All,

          Can't come close to Mick's accomplishments, but I've been enjoying going to the gym and can already feel myself getting stronger.

          Too late for coffee at this point!

          Kuya, I'm so sorry to hear about your business. I have the feeling that you are very good at what you do, but that doesn't always guarantee a full clientele. Can you make a living doing something else? I must confess, the ups and downs of being self-employed get to me too. Sending good vibes out to the universe for you.

          Hope you had a good workout and a nice time at Longwood, Lavande!

          I'm glad you have an easy day for a change, PPQP! I can't wait for it to warm up; how about you?

          Hi to TT, Cat, SL, LTLW and all the rest of you fab abbers!

          Hugs,

            WEEll, my apologies to all for not checking in sooner. My work has surprisingly had NO tech mistakes today, so I have been more busy than of late.
            Best to all, and good luck with the hard decisions, Kuya; I've worn those shoes and they can be very uncomfortable.
            Later, all! Stay Strong!

              YahYah...you also sound really strong. Good for you. Yup we keep getting teased with Spring, +13 tomorrow and more snow on Friday. Yuck! Had a good day, got all the right answers from my boss and enjoyed an afternoon of bridge. I'll pay for it tomorrow as we have our first Executive meeting in the evening. No rest for the wicked!

              BHOG
              ...glad the see the techie mistakes didn't reappear. Nothing more frustrating than getting to work and not being able to do anything. Keep staying strong.

              The "kid" is bringing home A&W tonight so I don't even have to deal with dinner. Have a good evening all, see you in the morning....PPQP

                Unfortunately my vet skills don't easily transfer to other trades ! :H

                I am at a loss as to where to go from here actually, more than a little depressed TBH

                  Awww :l...all is not lost. I felt the same way when I had to start over and I just remembered to do the right things (eat, sleep, socialize) and landed in the perfect spot for me. Really have no idea where you live but how about a petting zoo? Dr. Dolittle comes to mind. With your ability to relate to others, maybe you should totally change your path and work in some sort of support group setting. Maybe back to school with a grant of some kind. That's all I got on the top of my head. Stay strong, the depression just signals it's time for a change. :angel:PPP:angel:

                  We could start a new thread "Ideas for KY"
                  :H Can you imagine what would come out of this lot!

                    Greetings kids

                    Had a nice day at my favorite hangout with my favorite girls!
                    We tried to walk outside a bit but the wind is still very cold - so much for Spring!

                    Kuya, I had an idea today
                    Do you work with large animals like horses? There are probably just as many horses (and cows)around these parts as people. I have to drive through Kennett Square (the mushroom capital of the world) to get to Longwood Gardens. Guess what's in Kennett Square? The New Bolton Center

                    Pack up & move over here - we'll get you set up!!!

                    I hope everyone has a great evening!

                      Lav is right. A high school friend of mine is a vet that specializes in horses. He works in Pennsylvania and makes a ton of money. I'd love to have you around these parts, Kuya. You'd definitely have to get used to our strange accents, though.

                        af day Wednesday...make your own date up!!!

                        Thanks guys.....I have emigrated once for the kids and they are all so settled, particularly my daughter. And her dad is here, she is 13 and moving again would be so hard.

                        I am a small animal vet ( trained in everything) and too rusty to do large animal work.

                        I think I need to work on esteem also, I undervalue my work and this is a huge problem when everyone is struggling with the poor economy. I am not aggressive enough and care too much about being thought well of.

                        It amazes me though how the same clients will pay 'specialists' thousands but will quibble with me over a couple of hundred ......arrrrggghhhhh

                          Boy did that post hit home with me. As long as everyone liked me I was OK. When asked for my salary range at my current job interview, my boss was shocked at how low a range I gave. I think a large part of my drinking was to bolster my self esteem.

                          When I would get some AF time in and start feeling strong and confident, my ex would start offering me drinks knowing where it would lead...me continuing on to the hiding, sneaking stage...get found out, get shot down and the King would reign again.

                          I think working on your esteem is an excellent idea along with staying put. :l

                            Very quick check in......crazy busy day, was going to check in and probably have a bit of a whine, then saw your note KY and realsied how lucky I am to have a job....so no whining here today...
                            Mick, am on call - have a really long stretch cos my partner in the call coverage is on holiday - she is in Hawaii - do wish I was! Have a 17 day call stint.....getting a bit tired, and the voice is stronger when tired isn't it - woke really happy that I hadn't had that drink last night, and now am thinking how relaxing a glass of wine would be - so just concentrating on tomorrow morning....
                            Good to see all hanging in.....glad to see you all...
                            KY, hang in there - do feel for you...
