Re: One Step at a Time - February 2019

Happy Friday! [MENTION=16215]MinStar[/MENTION], yes it was definitely busier here back in the day. Sad really. I have nestled into a nice core support group here and I have made some really good friends, I also go on a site called Women for Sobriety. They even have a f2f meeting very close to where I live weekly. Their statements are so positive and there's tons of women and threads there. Maybe check it out. I guess my son doesn't care for the peanut butter there? He is picky, but he's getting better. It only took 25 years!
Nora, hope your pain eases up. I hope moms anxiety eases up some.
BIrd, you walk sounds lovely! Everything here is still brown and in winter mode. I guess that's why I like Valentine's Day, bright red everywhere.
Rusty, glassy, Pauly, hope you're having a great Friday!
Baby is still sleeping so it's quiet here right now.

Hi everyone. Yes, MWO used to be hopping.

I am discouraged by the state of the country and of the world.
Really having a hard time understanding why there is so much discord. My hippie commune is sounding better all the time.:flowerspin:

Re: One Step at a Time - February 2019

Hi all,
Happy Friday. So dd2 had invited me to a philosophy dept discussion, then said she was too sick to go, I was worried she would get sick with burning the candle at both ends. Now she says she has to go since there is nobody available to help. So I guess I will go, I hope I don't get sick akkkk....got a note from my mom, she never writes maybe twice a year. Says it will be nice to see me when I can make it up, which I had been thinking about not going again, fear of flying, cost, stress. So I guess I will start thinking about that again........Liz, bet Logan is a handful, the little guy next door came over a bit ago and ran me all over the yard playing ball. He gave me some valentine candy hehe.....Pauly, love you fb pics, ...Min good for cutting out the hard stuff. Every little bit helps. The WFS site is good. I have gotten a lot from the chats. I hardly ever say anything in them, but they are chock full of helpful stuff....well, really wish dd2 wouldn't go to that discussion but....later

Re: One Step at a Time - February 2019

I'm in Bird and Nora I caught a cold! I know its from those women at work coughing around me(at least that's who I'm blaming) they're grown and DO NOT cover their mouths,I knew it when one came over to talk to me and was getting too close,ugh I shoulda walked away from her

[NoraC]

Re: One Step at a Time - February 2019

Oh Pauly - I know exactly what you mean about people coughing and everything. It's so hard to avoid it. I hope you feel better.

I got a new phone today and it's a Galaxy S8 - it has rounded edges and I can't get the screen protector on good enough so I can use the phone easily. Talk about frustrated. I finally just got online and ordered a different type to be here tomorrow. Hope this works better. This is after I spent an hour on hubby's new computer.
And that is all in the past. I let go of the negativity (until I pick up my phone again) and am so happy that it's the weekend.

Off to try to learn my new phone.

Re: One Step at a Time - February 2019

Hi all,
Pauly, sorry you caught a cold.....Nora, I have been thinking of getting a Samsung next time. I always use dd1s old phones, which are iphones. Dd2 had a galaxy once but bought herself an iphone when she went off to college....so went to dd2s discussion yest, a bunch of people trying to figure out exactly what love is. I was afraid to go, but then it was ok. I actually knew 3 kids there besides dd2 hehe...went out to eat then I went to a faculty recital, very good and very loud. Went by myself as dd2 was sick and dd1 in rehearsals.....planted some violas yest , I can just cover them up easily if it freezes...later have a good Saturday

Re: One Step at a Time - February 2019

Morning friends,Nora and Bird the phone I got for Christmas is a Motorola something! Who knew that brand was even still around? Its got some cool features tho like I can take a screenshot just by touching the screen with 3 fingers,kinda cool feel so foggy and out of it from this cold,grrr,Kell didn't feel good yesterday either and when she picked me up for lunch she was wearing her robe haha hope work goes OK,hubs and I are supposed to go have valentines dinner later but if I feel like I felt yesterday I might take a rain check,waves to Liz,Rusty hope everyone has a happy AF Saturday!

Re: One Step at a Time - February 2019

:yay: :yay:

Count me in too! Do we know how to have a good time or what?
Bird, I'm glad you enjoyed the discussion. I went to a philosophy discussion with hubby years ago, OMG, there's two hours of my life I'll never get back! The things we do for those we love, I'll have to look up violas, but I'm getting itchy for spring! Hope your daughter feels better soon and yes burning the candle at both ends will do it.
Pauly, hope you're feeling better soon. You'd think adults would know basic things like cover the cough. Where I get my nails done the one technician is constantly sniffling and used the back of her hand to "wipe" while she's doing nails! Really? I don't know how I would've handled that if she was working on me.
Nora, I have a galaxy, an older one and it works just fine, I need a new case for it and it's almost impossible to find. You're pretty tech savvy, but I get how overwhelming it is. Hubby and I are in the process of switching our health insurance online, we were growling at each other:cuss:
Rusty, Glassie and MinStar, what are you up to this weekend?
Hubby and I are painting the living room. Erin has off all next week so we won't have the baby. We started last night and it's gonna be a a lot of work, but it's got to be done. Hubby is pretty OCD about painting, he apologized last night for being bossy. I just do whatever I'm told to and it works. We laughed about it after. We've been doing this a long time together..
Well I'd better get to helping him!

Re: One Step at a Time - February 2019

So glad we are all going to the hippie commune.

Liz - good luck with painting. I don't know what I'm going to do. I guess I'll try to go thru more stuff. Always more stuff. LOL Just know if you need anything, it's probably in my garage.

Oh that made me think of something. Probably 25 years ago when my parents were still living down here in So California, someone broke into their garage. Well, it was piled high. You could hardly walk around in there. When the police came out and checked, my Mom was really worried and asked them if they had looked everywhere in the garage. One officer looked at her and said, where could they possibly hide? Because every single area was piled up.
And, another part of the story was that the guy had taken off with a case or two of booze. Probably jugs of vodka. Back at the heavy drinking years of my Dad. My Mom told me how hurt and angry she was because my Aunt said something along the lines of that was good that was what they stole. My Mom did not appreciate the jab at my Dad or having it rubbed in her face. My poor Mommy.

Re: One Step at a Time - February 2019

I wouldn't have appreciated that jab either Nora when my father in law passed away we were at my hubs' mom's brothers house for a lunch and the uncle kept going on and on about FIL and his drinking( he had been quit for nearly 20 years by his death) Liz,that reminded me last time Lb and Kell got pedicures the lady was eating crackers while doing Lb's feet!!

[NoraC]

Re: One Step at a Time - February 2019

Pauly - that seriously grossed me out about the lady eating crackers while doing the feet. Yuck. And then poor LB had to sit there and watch. :rotlf:

Liz - How did the painting go? I went thru some stuff but then I found my gel pens and then I found a coloring book that I had been saving for my gel pens so um.........I did some coloring. Ha, ha I spent the day doing a little of this and a little of that. Crocheted, colored and also did some cleaning up in between.

Pauly - how are you feeling?

Rusty - are you recovered from your trip?

Bird - you do such fun stuff. Really interesting. So nice of you to go with dd2 to the discussion. Hope they all figured it out.

Glassie - did you find something to do to occupy your time? I hope that you aren't going bonkers without that heavy schedule you have been on for so long. Maybe you can teach yourself to knit or needlepoint. You made such an amazing blanket before. I guess you do have another blanket planned.

Min - glad that you have been tapering down. How old are your kids? I forget. Sounds like you have a busy household.

Off to do a little of whatever some more. nthego:

Re: One Step at a Time - February 2019

Does anyway have times where it seems like alcohol is everywhere you look? I think that it has been on every page I have visited or tv show or movie I have watched. Even in a book I was reading. This must be a reminder of why I don't drink.
