    Mod Squad's Weekly Thread for the Week of January 19th

    Hi Everybody,
    I'm definitely AF tonight. I'll be working with a small group of kids to make cement stepping stones, decorated with tiles, marbles, polished stones and whatever else. It should be fun.

    We are definitely into the coldest part of the winter, but the days are getting just a little longer, so that brings hope to my heart. Also, the gardening catalogs are arriving daily in my mailbox, giving me plenty to dream about.

    Sara, a sadness in my life is that our dog is getting old. A lot of her fur has fallen out, so she looks awful, though we still love her as much as ever. Just hide the mirrors, my husband says. So do look to that pup for unconditional love. Husbands are too complicated for that.

    Take care, all
    My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.

      Hi guys,
      Wow - bad week for me. The drinktracker is a great reality check.
      So, I am figuring out that severe stress REALLY makes me want to drink and give myself excuses that I can. Along with depression as I was pretty glum the first part of the week.
      Have pacted no AL tonight. MIL may leave tomorrow leaving us with FIL in hospital still and transfer from there more our concern than hers. So, not going to pact no AL this week-end but NEED to pact NO MORE THAN TWO!
      A good night to all!

          Thanks Lena and thanks to all my mod squad buds who keep me in line (especially when I start stepping out of it).
          I'm back on track.

            TGIF!!! That's all I gotto say on the matter!
            Shew, what a week! I have had so many niggly little issues which have been causing me anxiety and today everything fell into place. Bring on the weekend.

            I am going to head out into the garden and pop around for a bit. I have been concucting what looks like a whiches brew to spray my herbs because the ENOURMOUS grasshoppers (they are definetly NOT normal) have been eating their way through my herb garden. So altho I am all for farming organically, if this latest concuction doesn't work, I'm getting out the shot gun.
            Sun, I must take a photo of these PESTS to show you -- you wouldn't believe the size of them.

            Hugs and Kisses
            Dee

                  Morning Modders

                  Good grief,
                  Much posting since my last visit...That's GOOD! The ice is melting; Winter's almost over.
                  Went to my lessons last night; minor stress. I didn't drink before hand and it was "no sweat" afterwards so I'm feeling pretty good today. What about the other "PACT rats"??
                  Went and "renewed my gym membership" in a way, which was part of my "plan for 2009". Cat wanted a "Y" membership so HHG could swim and or exercise this winter, so we joined the YMCA. I think I need it. Lila was asking Sara if she works out as it it a depression buster. I'm going to take that advice.
                  That's my morning "hello". I'm pretending to be busy.
                  More later,
                  ~Kid~

                        LOL, err no! That doesn't really happen much anymore. It generally happened when I was drinking a stupid amount of vodka every day.

                          Kid- I find that working out definately keeps the depression at bay. I hit the gym most days and feel so much better for it. Good for you avoiding the 'drink before social time' pit. That is always a trigger for me.

                          DeeBee those grasshoppers sound downright scary!

                          Hi vlad! Any warmer in that office?

                          I am going to pact to have just one tonight as I am hitting my fav. blues club and I'll be AF for Sat.

                          Anyone else want to shout out a pact for the weekend?

                          Blessings, all
                          Toughen up!

                              Hi Everybody,
                              Boy it's a quiet Friday night here in Modsville. I don't have too much going on either - probably will just go to bed early.

                              Deebs, I would love a photo of those grasshoppers. Not that I know one single thing about insects in South Africa, but the whole world of nature fascinates me.

                              I'm probably done with the pact thing unless anyone invites me to join them. On most days I don't drink.

                              Delta Moon, you seem to be finding the life you've been wanting. You deserve nothing but the best.

                              Kid, congrats on getting that fitness membership going. So you call your wife Cat, following your Cat Ballou movie theme, right?

                              take care

                                Just you and me Sun...

                                And now you've gone to bed..
                                Perhaps the other Modders are out "Modding"!

                                Yes, I call my wife "Cat" here, to continue the Cat Ballou theme.
                                She can be mean as a cat sometimes, I guess.
                                In the movie Kid has an unrequited love for Cat..
                                Another man gets the girl.

                                I didn't know if the PACT thing had worn out its welcome.
                                I guess one more round,eh??
