    Fred and Mary get married but couldn?t afford a honeymoon, so they go back to Fred?s Mom and Dad?s house for their first night together.
    In the morning, Johnny, Fred?s little brother, gets up and has his breakfast.
    As he is going out of the door to go to school, he asks his mom if Fred and Mary are up yet.
    She replies, ?No?.
    Johnny asks, ?Do you know what I think??
    His mom replies, ?I don?t want to hear what you think! Just go to school.?
    Johnny comes home for lunch and asks his mom, ?Are Fred and Mary up yet??
    She replies, ?No.?
    Johnny says, ?Do you know what I think??
    His mom replies, ?Never mind what you think! Eat your lunch and go back to school.?
    After school, Johnny comes home and asks again, ?Are Fred and Mary up yet??
    His mom says, ?No.?
    He asks, ?Do you know what I think??
    His mom replies, ?Ok, now tell me what you think.?
    He says: ?Last night Fred came to my room for the Vaseline and I think?
    I gave him my airplane glue.?

    Morris returns from the doctor and tells his wife that the doctor has told him he has only 24 hours to live. Given the prognosis, Morris asks his wife for s*x. Naturally, she agrees, so they make love.
    About 6 hours later, the husband goes to his wife and says, ?Honey, you know I now have only 18 hours to live. Could we please do it one more time??
    Of course, the wife agrees, and they do it again. Later, as the man gets into bed, he looks at his watch and realizes that he now has only 8 hours left. He touches his wife?s shoulder and asks, ?Honey, please?just one more time before I die.? She says, ?Of course, Dear,? and they make love for the third time.
    After this session, the wife rolls over and falls to sleep. Morris, however, worried about his impending death, tosses and turns, until he?s down to 4 more hours. He taps his wife, who rouses. ?Honey, I have only 4 more hours. Do you think we could??
    At this point the wife sits up and says, ?Listen Morris, I have to get up in the morning? you don?t.?

    Just saying hi - I had a great day with my daughter. We did a mini road trip but not staying away overnight.
    Once of the things I am very grateful for in my AF life is that I am much more relaxed driving long distances - its just far less stressful for me these days. Anyone else had that positive add-on?

    Thanks for the coffee Mick but I better stick to decaf if I want to get my beautification sleep!

              MAE all,

              I have yesterday's thread opened in another window to see what all were up to.

              Now I am feeling schizophrenic.

              CB, I hope you feel better sooner rather than later.

              Det, Lovely picture. When I lived in Loveland, CO, there used to be a program that brought at risk children from Detroit to Estes Park for a week's retreat. On the news one little one was interviewed and asked what he thought was fun about Colorado. He said, "At night you have so many stars!!!" Out of the mouth of babes.

              Y@H, I hope business picks up soon and no part time job required. I imagine your business is like many others, summer is a bad time because of so many vacations, children home, etc. I'll bet mid-August will see an uptick.

              Bear, Everyone said it already. We will be here. No one thinks badly of you, btw. We have all been there done that and worn the t-shirt. :l

              June, I was thinking the other day while floating around the pool that it would be nice to have one of those chairs to float around in, one that has a drink holder. Hmm. I realized quickly that this brain will get me into trouble if I don't stay vigilant.

              Mick, Keep us up-to-date on the surgery. Fingers and toes crossed that it is successful.

              Blondie, Yep, CA does have the nice weather. That's why it is so crowded.

              TT and SF, Parenting is hard. Period. My attitude is that you can only do what you can do. Love is the one ingredient that cannot be omitted and abundant love today will come back to you from them when they are grown.

              PPQP, How's the neck? If it doesn't get better soon, have it checked out. (Unless you already have and then ignore. :-))

              Pauly, It is good to see you posting here.

              Kuya, If you are lurking, waves!!

              Lav, Take it easy in the heat and with the little one running around. Make sure you feed her lots of sugar and caffeine before sending her home. :H:H

              Not much to report from Alabama. My son and I drove around to different apartments yesterday to present our new cleaning and painting business information. We got two leads to follow up on. Today we will focus on property management companies and see if we can generate any interest there. We just need a one or two gigs to start with so we can get our foot in the door. I know it is difficult to do that but am optimistic that as long as we keep trying, we will.

              One thing is for certain, friends, if I was still drinking, yesterday would have been impossible and so would today.

              I am eternally grateful for my sobriety day by day.

              Love,
              Cindi

                MAE ALL...

                Mick...thanks for kicking us off and the coffee. Today's lunch will kill 3 birds with 1 stone. My Bday, co-orker Jan Bday and Boss Bday on the 18th. The Jan co-worker is the accountant who has been complaining that she doesn't have enough work to do and ends up in everyone else's business. Last email from the boss yesterday was the accountant would only be working 3 days a week effective immediately. :H Guess that backfired. Had to go and re-read my post when you asked me about underwater football. Couldn't figure out what you were on about...and there it was hit me in the face again.

                TT...I remember driving to my sisters in Saskatchewan when I left my husband. What an ordeal. My anxiety was maxed and I didn't feel I was capable of even filling up with gas. Total 360 with my drive back to Alberta to stay with my kids. I had been AF for 3 months when I made that trip I couldn't believe how different I felt. I am grateful to have these growing experiences in my life.

                Blondie...the train sign made an impression with me too. Didn't have to read back to remember that one. :H I would love to put a few water features in the community garden just haven't figured out the logistics yet.

                Lav...saw the pic on FB this morning and it made me think of you. All hell has probably broken loose by now and you're well into your hectic day. Take the time to smell the roses, if you can find them through the weeds.

                Off to get my second cuppa before thinking of getting ready for work. Have a great AF Tuesday all and all to come....PPQP

                Pauly...saw your post just before submitting mine. I awoke with a stuffed up head this morning, my son's comment...so you're going to infect us all again! Have you tried reactine? Not sure if you can get it in the states but it seems to work on anything. Hope you find relief soon.

                  It was actually my back that I twisted and it seems that 3 days of taking it easy has done the trick. Positive outcome for your first business presentations, well done. Hope the management companies have something immediately for you. Fingers crossed....PPQP

                        Thats a good decision Mick about trying the other option instead of surgery and I admire your tenacity of trying to heal/rectify the matter through exercise. Hope the GP gives some good advice too.
                        PPQP - I had a really sore back yesterday - from my driving but I think I was in solidarity with you. Pain has gone for me now.

                          I am at the pool all by myself....it is glorious and peaceful!

                          TT....so glad you are spending time with your daughter. I love that I am spend quality time with my kids....being really present.

                          Lav....I nearly died from the heat today! How did I ever manage drinking? Oh yeah.....must have been all that water in those beers:H

                          PPQ....I always love that comic! Now I am hungry...

                          Cinders....it is quite amazing how much time I spent sick watching lifetime movies. So grateful to be sober.

                          Mick...that is awesome that you may avoid surgery. I agree it should be the last option. I hate going under as well. I was always checking to make sure the guy did not look hungover. Plus, when I wake up from it I shake violently....and throw up shooting it at least 20 feet across the room. I just thought I'd give you some encouragement if you do decide on surgery:H

                          I went to the dentist today, first time in 3 years. Never wanted to go because of the vomiting I would do 3-4 times a week while drinking. They had to work on one area that the novicain was not getting. I relented and allowed them to give me the gas. I was sick to my stomach, room was spinning....and I was clearly under the influence. I felt like the only drunk person in the room.....I cringe to think how many times that was for real with people I actually know. :upset::upset:

                            thanks for the kickoff Mick. doing very well being sober in the wine Mecca of the US, Napa CA. had a super loverly salmon on mini vegetables with olive tapenade. needed more garlic, but everything does!

                            TTops, I can relate so well to the long distance driving being AF. I drive a LOT for work and can't believe I used to do this hung over and sooooo tired. frightening really. now I'm calm, collected and very happy aboot that.

                            Cindi, great post. I share you in that gratitude. AF is the life

                            SunFlower, drunk or hungover at the dentist brings back some queasy memories for me! egad.

                            for some reason this hotel internet connection won't let me into chat.... still working on it...

                            be well peeps!

                              Mae, all.

                              Mick, I'm so glad for you that you found a solution more agreeable than surgery. We have so many options for healing.

                              Ironically, I had minor surgery today; the doctor had to reset my nose. It went very well. I was nervous about pain post-procedure, but there was very little! She was a wonderful doctor, and called me personally tonight to see how I am doing and tell me what she found. Wow. Other good news - the Workman's Comp insurance agent also called today to say everything would be covered. Given surgery, emergency room and office visits, I think my co-pay would have been at least $1,000-$2,000. Such a relief that I don't have to find that money.

                              Mmm, PPQP. Parenting. We are all such better parents now that we are AF. But still, I feel inadequate a lot of the time. I need alone-time, and my job and commute drain me, so when I get home, I don't want to interact with my son as much as he needs. Good news - being AF makes me look at this on a regular basis, and make an effort. A big motivation for me is entirely selfish. I love my son so much, and want to enjoy him while he is still young.

                              I was hungry all day today, and struggled to just stay with healthy items. Anyone think this could be a side effect of anesthesia? I'm trying to find my balance again - for many months, I felt strong and at ease with eating. Now I'm back to sugar cravings and wanting to eat throughout the day.

                              Last post on Tuesday, 4 minutes till Wed......
