~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Jude58]

Peachie, I hope that your sister is doing better today, but if not I would definitely go see her if needed.

Rava, good job staying away from the booze on your bus trip. The fact that you weren't even tempted to drink says a lot. Keep those sober muscles flexed!

Dill, Mr. J's daughter played the viola when she was in high school and we loved going to the concerts to see her play. I especially enjoyed the Christmas concerts, they brought me a lot of peace and I miss going to them.

Ginger, thanks for the puzzle tip, I will definitely try it!

Waves to cowboy, Mul and al!

24 more please...

[Peachie]

Hiya everyone. Happy to say my sister is doing a lot better today. Her scan came back normal and she's thinking she will be discharged tomorrow. Thank you all for your good wishes for us. I'm afraid I was very distressed so my posts were a bit wonky. I also drank more then I should have. Not good!

Anyhow I am having a very early night tonight as I'm exhausted. Hope everyone has a lovely day.

Night night

Good morning Cafe. The bus trip and free flowing alcohol luckily was not a trigger for me. I would be more worried about having to use the bathroom. Walking around thrifting with a buzz does not appeal to me. However if this bus trip was at night I am not sure I would have stayed strong. Good thing is I will not be on any night bus trips! I would definitely go on a thrift store bus trip again next year. I did terrible in Mahjong yesterday. More practice this week. Peachie, I am so glad your sisters scan was normal. That must be such a relief. Jude hope that puzzle is coming along! Hey to Ginger, Cowboy Dill, Mul! Hope everyone has a great Saturday. Beach day ahead for me. Time for some serious reading. 24 more please and thank you!

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

[abcowboy]

Ya, I drove a 56 passenger charter bus for a couple of years for a good friend of mine Ginger. That was after I left the College and before I started my own business.

We'll probably go out for supper tonight as well Jude and dill. We were a bit surprised that the Senior's Center didn't have the dinner and dance tonight but it's going to be March 21st.

That's great news about your sister Peachie, you both breathed a sigh of relief I bet!

Have fun at the beach today Rava

to all the lovely ladies here!

Cowboy, I hit the refresh button at 7:29 and your Valentine greeting appeared! It felt like magic! LOL Thanks for thinking of us as you always do!

Rava, I know what you mean about going thru stores while buzzed. Doesn't appeal to me in the slightest! Besides, I can only imagine what I might buy while under the influence. Impulse control would be totally wrecked while buzzed, for sure!

Peachie, so glad your sister's scan was clear. Sorry you feel you drank too much over the last few days. It's hard to be moderate especially when emotions are running high. For me, it's impossible to be moderate any time!!

Hi Jude, and Ginger!

Hope we all made it thru Friday the 13th unscathed!

Not today.

[Ginger999]

Peachie, that's great news! Continued thoughts going out to you and your sister.

ABC, Happy Valentines Day to you and Bubba! Enjoy dinner out.

Greetings all. I'll take another day!

[Jude58]

Peachie, so glad that your sister is going better. Family is everything!

Rava, right now a day at the beach sounds wonderful. I really do like winter but at this point I'm ready to ditch the snow boots and heavy jackets for some sunshine and warm temperatures.

A friend of ours has to bake something for an upcoming party that she is going to tomorrow. She is coming over today and we are going to make 3 carrot cakes. Should be fun!

Waves to Cowboy, dill, Ginger and Mul!

24 more please...

[dill]

Jude, Yum! Carrot cake is one of my favorites! Will you get to keep one or do they all three go to the party? If you get to keep one, save a slice for me!!

It's raining here this morning. It's going to be a muddy mess!

Here's hoping for a day of freedom and peace for all of us here and anyone else who needs it!

Not today.....

[Peachie]

Hiya everyone. Great cool and sunny day today. I just wanted to say that I truly hope that my, usually, very minimal drinking is not causing any trouble. I know that when I am stressed my old drinking patterns appear. I hate that. I truly do l. It is just how I have learned to cope. It takes the pain away.

I am sure you all get that. I would have loved to adopted a healthier way to deal with it. But I haven't.. I really love coming here and listening to your lives. I truly admire you all.

Night night

It's time for breakfast/supper everyone...

[abcowboy]

I can't speak for everyone Peachie, but your casual drinking doesn't bother me, but that's just me.

Enjoy your time in the kitchen with your friend Jude, especially the carrot cake!

Hope all you ladies got spoiled yesterday!

Not today...
