Let's get the breakfast out...

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good morning and Congrats to you QW on 5 years. Amazing accomplishment! Waiting for breakfast this morning and as always as I log out Cowboy will be logging in with a picture of a fabulous breakfast. LOL. Hope everyone has a great and sober day. I am reading a book about the child of the Mamas and the Papas, Mackenzie Phillips and how she grew up in a household with lots of drugs. Interesting so far. (Mul since you are our baby you have probably not heard of them). lol. 24 more please and thank you.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Thank you. I knew it was on the way!!!

[abcowboy]

I wish I would have quit drinking when I was your age [MENTION=24679]Mulburry[/MENTION], good for you for quitting when you did.

Great to see you again [MENTION=22409]Quit wining[/MENTION], and huge congratulations on your 5 years!

Looks like I'll be out a few times today, we're supposed to get over 6" with blizzard like conditions by tonight.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Mul, happy you're here and so proud of you for figuring out this stupid AL thing early on!

QW, five years! What an amazing accomplishment. Congratulations! Hope Mrs. QW is doing ok. 🙏

Thanks for brekkie, ABC. Be careful moving all that snow.

Home project for the neighbor today. Shouldn't be too difficult and won't include hands and knees work. Yesterday's hike was steep and rocky so I'll be babying the knee again for a few days.

No complaints though! Feeling blessed for sure. I'll take another!

Great to see you, QW! Congrats on your 5 years! You are a super star! I hope Mrs. QW is getting along ok.

Mul, my son is your age and he just recently got serious about kicking al to the curb. I am so happy for you and him, too! He's tried before so we shall see, but I feel like this time is different for him.

Cowboy, thanks for the great breakfast! Loved it! It sounds like you'll be getting a work out today with the shovel...

Ginger, make sure you go easy on that knee.

I was a huge Mama's & Papas fan, Rava! Loved their harmonies for sure.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

I wish I would have quit drinking when I was your age @Mulburry, good for you for quitting when you did.

I know it seems early to most of you but I probably drank enough for 3 or 4 lifetimes in that span. And to be honest, I quit mostly out of pure necessity; with my level of physical dependence escalation was hard to curb (though I tried my darndest) and that was a dark path towards death's door. And yet, I still wish I'd quit 5 years earlier (or better yet 10 years ha); it's hard to pin down for sure but I still feel like some of these health issues are related to drinking, even if some of them haven't been resolved by quitting.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

I think your lingering health issues could be rooted in al abuse too, Mul. It's poison. "Normal drinkers" are drinking poison in small doses. We here simply cannot do that. Long, long ago I could drink just one beer and stop. But that ended for me very early on. My "off switch" was faulty from the very start. It didn't take much to break it.

It's going to be unseasonably warm today around here.

24 more for all of us please and thank you.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good morning Cafe. Dill, you hit the nail on the head. My off switch is broken too. I guess thats why we are all here. No amount of alcohol is good for you. It’s a poison and people are literally killing themselves yet we long to drink it normally if we could. How crazy is that. I think once I finally realized that I can never moderate I had to get serious. Wishing everyone a great and sober day. 24 more please. Ginger, hope that knee is ok today. Cowboy how much snow did you get?

[abcowboy]

I managed to get out once yesterday and shovel, but then the storm blew in and it was time to just watch it out the window. It's still snowing and blowing this morning and supposed to continue till late this afternoon. I'm guessing we got around 10" so far, not sure how much it will end up to be but I think it will be a job for the snowblower instead of the shovel.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good morning cafe! I actually slept in until 7:00 am, and it felt so good! I'm usually up at 4:00 so this was quite a treat!

I plan on having a booze free day, and hope that you all will join me!
