    af day Monday 12 Aug

    mae everyone ..back to Monday again....and how is the booze bus today? not many on here yesterday Was out all day so in between getting my head burnt and it raining.....

    Right on with the show....tea and coffee on the go ..no need to make your own today!!

    evening tt..how are you feeling...any better? hopefully so,your letting this molehill become a mountain to you,and yes it is kind of hard when it happens to you,but from the outside looking in you get a different perspective if that makes sense,especially if the situation is beyond your control....so imho wait till Wed and you get told what its about..but go in armed and shoot them with facts figures information and questions.In the meantime just carry on..thats all you can do ...today will be today..you choose how it will be :l

    Hiya sf ..how are you today?well I hope...taken your advice..have stopped doing work in the front room until the tiles come...instead dug out the footings and put in hardcore for my bigger greenhouse!!also got some more pipe to build a couple of bigger cloches to stop the butterflies...oh and planted some potatoes to be ready for Christmas!!!I really dont do sitting down too well!!
    Your post yesterday was interesting...not going to places because of temptation ( now aint that a biblical word!) versus cba(cant be arsed).Iwas presented with a scenario yesterday..its to do with my Sunday activities and basically it involves a long weekend away, which in fairness is just an excuse for a major piss up.Iwas asked if I was going ..the answer is no, previously I would not have gone ..just in case, but somewhere in my little mind the switch has been moved and now I think, now why would I want to go away , make a complete arse of myself, get up early next morning,feeling lousy ,and at the end of that day repeat the exercise?Iwish that switch had been operated a good few years ago!!

    Hiya Sam how are you today? yep your story is so true of quite a few..there is no finite on sobriety..its not like ..stay clean for a year and you will never drink again..we must always be on our guard.. it sneaks in time and place irrespective

    Hiya ppqp ..how are you today? firstly big cuppa?hope the visit with your dad went well..thats the most important thing you and him time ..cut out all the rest they are unimportant at that time.My outing was ok ...been on better tho..have you thought about the job yet?best of luck

    Morning Lav how are you today? apologies for having to make your own brew!here you go one extra large..take it you are now sitting in front of your new telly...just think ...a larger Thomas and friends!!!



    congrats on your quit time too..worked out roughly yesterday...since I quit al I have "saved " over ?2.5k on it!!that virtually pays for me to go on my holidays to Thailand and Cambodia in March!!

    When his waitress arrives, he orders elephant dung on rye.
    She calmly writes down his order and walks into the kitchen where all hell breaks loose!
    The restaurant owner comes storming out of the kitchen. He runs up to the customer's table, slaps five $100 bills down on it and says,
    "You got me that time buddy, but I want you to know that's the first time in ten years we've been out of rye bread!"

    What do you get when you cross an elephant with a fish?

    swimming trunks!

    I'm having second thoughts about booking time to visit an Indian community.

    I guess I'm having reservation reservation reservations

    Did you hear? Viagra doesn't do anything for lawyers...

    It just makes them stand taller for a while

    Some older guy was following me around at a small grocery store, always about 10 feet back. He kept looking at me and sighing. I thought he was some old gay pervert, but I was wrong. He got to the store?s single checkout line just before I did. There he turned to me and told me something quite heart wrenching. He said he was sorry for staring, but I looked exactly like his son who had died fighting in Iraq ten years before. He asked if it would be too weird if he could give me a hug and say goodbye as some sort of closure. I though it harmless so agreed. He gave me a hug and said, ?good bye, son.? And then he left the store with his groceries. As I had my few items scanned and went to pay, I was outraged at the total. It was much more than my few items warranted. I asked the cashier to explain the situation, and she said that my father said I was covering his groceries too.

    So I was sitting in traffic the other day...
    got run over.

    A young woman on a flight from Mexico asked the priest beside her, "Father, may I ask a favor?"
    "Of course, what may I do for you?" the priest replied.
    "Well, I bought an expensive hair dryer for my mother's birthday. It's unopened and over my customs limits. I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it through for me? Under your robes, perhaps?"
    "I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you, I will not lie," said the devout man.
    "With your honest face, Father, no one will question you."
    When they reached the customs area, she let the priest go ahead of her.
    The official asked, "Father, do you have anything to declare?"
    "From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare."
    The official thought this answer strange, so asked, "And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?"
    "I have a marvelous instrument designed for a woman's use, but which is, to date, unused." The official said, "Go ahead, Father."

    An eskimo pulls up to an intersection..
    with a flat tire. A Welsh guy pulls up next to him and says:
    "Hey, I think you've blown a seal!"
    To which the eskimo replies:
    "So what? You shag sheep."

    A British man goes on holiday in Australia...
    After getting off the plane in Sydney, the man waits to go through Australian customs.
    "Do you have anything to declare?" asks the Australian customs officer.
    "No" replies the British man.
    "Do you have a criminal record?"
    "I'm sorry, I didn't know that was still a requirement."

    Frank's wife goes missing and a week later he bumps into his friend Larry on the street. "Frank! How are you? You look a little worse for wear. Any news on your wife?"
    "Hi Larry, I'm alright. They said I should be prepared for the worst."
    "Oh god that's awful!" Larry sympathises.
    "Yeah I know right. I had to buy all her stuff back from the thrift shop this afternoon."
    af since the fourth of July 2012...howzat then America..now proudly marching into year 12

    I only have two evenings to watch my granddaughter this week while my daughter in finishing up her class. I need to catch up with paperwork & stuff of that nature.
    The new TV is nice & well deserved as far as I'm concerned :H
    Glad you didn't fall to temptation

      Good morning all
      Mick enjoyed the morning wake up, much better than listening to the news.
      Lav, great picture. Looks like the weather is suppose to break mid week on the east coast... which is good, taking a little motorcycle trip to a fiddle camp in West Va.

        MAE ALL...

        Mick..."he who never sits down"...thanks for kicking us off and the coffee. Have you not heard of a hat? Someone on here knits beanies, (I think it's JC) I'll check it out for you. :H
        Had a great visit with my Dad on Saturday, thanks for asking. Those visits always help reset my priorities.

        Lav...two evenings will be a snap after the last 5 weeks. New tv gives you a whole new perspective and I think it's much deserved!

        Sam...morning to you. It looks like we may get a week of summer here. Of course, just when I'm deciding whether to go full time at work. Enjoy your bike trip.

        Have my pro/con list ready and Gord's responses to my questions will be the deciding factor. Can hardly wait to hear what transpired while I was away.

        Have a great AF Monday you two and all to come....PPQP

              Mick....yes, no need to lead myself into temptation. My kids cheer me on....and recently one said "well you just need to pass one last test"...."if you can be in a bar you got this kicked". I asked them why do people got to bars? They said to drink beer. I said....unless I have a reason to be there....since I don't drink beer...no sense in bothering going

              Lav...no need to go to an IKEA...I have enough stuff! Hope you are enjoying your new TV. You certainly have racked up alot AF and NF time! Glad to see that you are sober too

              Meaning I recently ran into someone who is 7 years AF, but definitely not an ounce of sobriety in them.

              I did get on the Stairmaster this am. Now I seem to think its a free pass to eat. I am a bit tired. I can't wait to get home and sit in front of my TV....maybe I'll check out that Amish show!
