[Jude58]

Glad to see that you finally were able to sign in techie. Some of us have had more problems with it more than others. Hope that you get it straightened out soon. We've missed you!

Ginger, keep your chin up; this too shall pass.

24 more for all of us please...

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

Just do what you have to Ginger, white knuckles and all. I know you can do this, just remind yourself that you can.

Did Mr D get the water back on yesterday dill? Not much fun hauling water a little bit at a time for daily needs.

Good to see get in somehow techie, hopefully everything with the log in problems will get sorted out soon.

Seeing others drink doesn't usually bother me Mulburry, but I must admit that some of the beer commercials still have a bit of a pull for me. Now seeing other people smoke, that's an entirely different story lol.

Yes, Cowboy! We have functioning indoor plumbing as of yesterday around 5pm. It was a long and frustrating job. I was the assistant that handed him tools and went to turn on and off the valves. We were pretty tired at the end of the day. Today will be the job of putting the built-in cabinet back in place and cleaning up. Mr. D has to repair some of the moulding that broke when we were removing the cabinet. Luckily he says he had a piece in the basement that will work. So, we will be back to normal here soon. Yay!

Techie, sorry you have had so much trouble getting back. We have missed you. and that's a fact!

Mul, I don't envy you your challenge! I am lucky to be living out on our little patch with no near neighbors to trigger me. Hang tough!

24 more please and thank you,

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, maybe some of your issues have to do subconsciously with you leaving soon. It’s definitely a stressor. Starting with the long drive home. Stay focused. You got this. Techie, I have had lots of issues with signing in also. What has finally worked for me is 1) I sign on and it does nothing, 2) I check into Cattleman Cafe 3) I go back and log in again and it works. This is the way I have been checking in all week. Maybe you could try that. It is frustrating as hell but this is what finally worked for me. Hope everyone has a wonderful and sober day. 24 more for me please and thank you.

techie, have you tried a different browser? I think admin mentioned using Google Chrome until they get the kinks worked out. Sure would love an update on you and yours!

Rava, I think you might be right about the end of season. We've also lost 3 neighbors in the last 2 weeks. This happens living in an aging community but jeez!

Dill, glad you have your water back!

Fish fry was yummy last night but I enjoyed some low AL wine with dinner. I'm humbly asking for 24.

[Jude58]

I can sympathize with you Ginger because I blew it and drank yesterday. Feeling like crap physically and emotionally.

Really looking forward to a sober day today!

[abcowboy]

5:17am in Alberta, 24 for me and everyone else who needs them please, and thanks...

Happ Easter y'all!

[abcowboy]

It wasn't a complete detour Jude, just a bump in the road, just get headed in the right direction again.

[Ginger999]

Crap, Jude! I'm sorry. I hope my slippage didn't contribute to yours. I always hesitate to confess for fear of that very thing. Ugh.... let's get back on that proverbial horse.

Happy Easter and may we all have a blessed, easy day!

[dill]

Cowboy, what a festive spread this morning! Thank you so much for making the holiday special for us.

Jude, looks like you gave yourself a strong reminder about what you have been happily missing. And now you know what to do next.

Cowboy, the other day you asked me if we have two separate water systems here and I didn't answer. Yes, we do. But only one that serves the house and the outdoor spigots. The other system is a separate well and it supplies water to the pastures where the cattle are kept.

I can't believe Lent came and went. I'm afraid I didn't do so well at keeping my Lenten promises. I had hoped to pray more because the world is in need of it. Altho I did accomplish at least that much, I fell way short of HOW MUCH more I had promised. But, I'll keep trying. Doesn't have to be restricted to Lent after all!

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

[Rava]

Happy Easter Cafe. Jude, you know what to do. We are here to help and pick each other up. I always think that compared to how we used to drink, we are still better off with a slip or two once in a while as long as we get right back on track. It’s not worth beating yourself up over. Although I do understand because I beat myself up hard on my last slip. Yesterday, I once again found myself in the wine section but did not do it. I wanted to so badly. What the hell, when does this craving end???? Ginger, when exactly do you start the trip home? I am dreading it already and we still have over a month to go. More people will start to leave after today. It’s 80 degrees, low humidity and sunny here today. Absolutely a perfect day! Wishing everyone a sober and wonderful day! 24 more please!

[Jude58]

Thanks for all of your words of encouragement folks. Time to get back on the horse!

24 more please...

[dill]

I hope everyone had a good Easter. Ours was low key. We actually postponed our get together until next week because we are still putting things back together here after the plumbing fiasco. That, plus grandson wasn't feeling well. So, we'll celebrate next week. We did celebrate by having a family group text going all day, so all was not lost.

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