    I won’t start feeling better for a long time. Sadly, I’ve really done it to myself now, with this B6 toxicity, and I think also calcium deficiency, from the dumb “health” diet I was doing for so long. But, hopefully I can slowly, eventually heal pretty much over the next couple years.
    So your neuropathy was actually caused by B6 toxicity? That's so crazy. You have to be so careful with supplements and alternative medicine, I've found. Just because something is "natural", doesn't mean it can't have all kinds of side effects etc. I remember taking a high B vitamin mult-vit one time and it started giving me heart palpitations. These days I try to stay away from all that stuff, and just eat/live as healthy as I can. And only take something if I've really researched it.

    Still getting gorgeous spring weather here, I know you need the rain Cowboy but I'm really enjoying this stretch of nice weather! Everything is so green and in bloom now too, it's fabulous!

    My daughter graduates next weekend with a degree in Communications.

    I went in again and had laser treatments and chiropractic manipulation to the bottom of my foot (the one that has to walk on the weird built-up shoe plus a lift plus orthotic) to break up scar tissue, heal plantar fasciitis, and get the stuck calcanius (sp.?) bone moving. I hope it will heal.

    I saw a lot of alligators when I visited down in the Everglades once.

    So proud of your sis, Ginger!

    I get to play cards tonight! I’m a sub for a hand & foot card game.

    I don't mind mowing, Ginger. We have riding lawn mowers and I kind of enjoy the process. And of course, it's lovely when it's finished! Great news about your sis! I bet it helps you both to have each other's support and company in the quit.

    Loved that quote, Jude. It's good to practice gratitude every day.

    Hi, Cowboy, Slo, and Rava!

    Let's all have a great, sober 24!

    Rava, we just finished watching "Bad Monkey" on netflicks. It was set in the everglades. What a gorgeous area you get to live in.

    Jude, that quote is absolutely true and a great reminder to start our days with gratitude.

    Always a fun trip with little sis. She's still not drinking and feeling awesome about that. Now she has to stop that damn vaping and she's trying. Bad habits suck but she's strong and she's got this!

    Dill, I don't miss taking care of grass but I do miss the smell of cut grass. Takes me back... Enjoy!

    ABC, do you go home tonight?

    Slo, what degree did your daughter graduate with? You must be crazy proud of her!

    Off to workout! I'll take another day of freedom

    Good morning Cafe. Ginger, hope your trip with your sis was fun. We are down in lower florida by the everglades. It can be very scary. Glad we don’t have a little dog to walk. We have had basically no rain all winter long. They say thats why the animals aka bears are all out of sorts. Slo, I hope you start feeling better soon! Hi to everyone here. 24 more please and thank you. Jude, I am grateful!

    That's some crazy wildlife you have down there Rava, I feel sorry for the families affected by the attacks...

    Sure wish there was something that could be done about your pain Slo, but glad your family is able to lift your spirits up.

    Hope the trip with little sis was enjoyable Ginger, and all went well.

    Well, Jude and dill, you need to do a bit better please, we got a downpour that lasted all of ten minutes lol, not even enough to slow down the tractor lol

    Wow Rava, Florida sounds like a dangerous place to live! How tragic that 2 lives were lost due to wildlife. So sad.

    It has rained here everyday for the past week and it isn't supposed to stop until Sunday. There has been a lot of flooding in the areas around us, but luckily we were spared. Cowboy, did you get the rain that I sent?

    There's a quote from AA that states, "Cease to be grateful, cease to be sober." It really does put things into perspective when you are grateful for everything that you have, not what you don't have.

    24 more for all of us please...

    I feel so dizzy & sick some mornings with the POTS syndrome that I forget to post. This was one of those mornings.

    Such a beautiful day here! And all the crab trees are in full flower too.

    Such wildlife tragedies so close to you, Rava! Must make you feel better about heading back north soon.

    I just got to talk to my sweet baby on the phone, and open a Mother’s Day gift from her that came in the mail today! Such thoughtful gifts! (Birthstone necklace and butter dish)
    She is busy saying goodbye and “last time ever” to all her college haunts and activities as she prepares to graduate.

    I will join in another 24 hours of freedom.

    Late check in here due to volunteering this morning. I'm happy to be home and working up some energy to get out and help Mr. D with the mowing.

    Wow, Rava, what a lot of terrible news of tragic wildlife encounters. It must be very unsettling to you and the neighbors in the area.

    Sorry Cowboy, I tried my best to get that rain to you but Mother Nature had other ideas!

    Hello Slo, Jude and Ginger.

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

    RAVA!!! That's terrible. Hubby said he'd heard about the canoeing accident on the news. What general area are you in? I can't recall.

    Going with little sis to an out of town dr appt so I need to get going! So grateful for all of you. I'll take another day of freedom!

    Good morning Cafe. I am back on the wagon since Monday and feel so much better. It is harder to drink up north because you have to actually drive to a liquor store to get wine and it’s not available in every grocery store or pharmacy. So that is a good thing. We leave early next week. Working on getting our food supply down and pulling flowers, etc. We have to have everything out of the porch, etc to properly prepare for hurricanes. Also just this week a husband and wife were canoeing and accidently canoed over an alligator which knocked them both off the canoe and killed the wife. And down the road from that an 89 year old man and his dog were killed by 3 bears. My goodness this is a wild place to be. We still love it here but have to be super careful of the wildlife. Rainy season is just starting and the storm clouds are ever present each day. Today I am thankful for my sobriety and this group of friends. Jude, hospice care is amazing. I hope your SIL has a peaceful transition. All she has been through, she should now be comfortable. I wish I could get my dad into hospice. Even mentioning the word Hospice, I am met with extreme hostility. Everyone has their own way of leaving this world. My choice would be comfort care. 24 more please and thank you.

    It's good that you have some family to do things with Slo, and spending time outside with them is even better.

    I'll join you Jude and the rest of the gang for 24 hours of freedom!

    Still haven't got any of that rain you were going to send this way dill and Jude, maybe try sending again lol.
