Well, he is only human

I am sorry that your son is still searching, but proud of you for using your tools and detaching so well.

Hugs,

THANKS EVERYONE!

Hope I don't slide back down! I'm feeling in control of my life for the first time in a very long time.

Hugs, Devastated

Compelling opening line for a book.

HMMMMM? IT REALLY IS A CATCHY TITLE ISN'T IT? LOL

We should all get together and write a chapter in the "Can You Imagine What A CODIE I Was" book. Man, would that be a number one seller. Just think about it ladies, all the funny things that we've been through together. Bad things too, but I choose to remember the funny ones! You know, like the prison wedding!! OMG!

Hugs, Dev

Ah Dev,
Sad that John doesn't seem to get "it" yet, but maybe he will get his program back out before falling off the wagon, has done him in again...

And may I say YOU LOOK MARVELOUS!
(said with an Fernando Lamas accent)

Recovery looks SO good on you!

You're setting a good example, Dev...yes you are.

Hugs to Mr. Dev, too.....

lol...actually, I love that idea, Dev!

devastated · 01-15-2009, 06:43 PM

How about the time when the SQ Warden asked me to please not call anymore??? Love that one!

I was kind of hurt though to think he didn't want to be my special friend! LOL

Looking back, I cannot believe he had such patience with me! I remember having myself a hissy fit because my son didn't get a book I had sent from the publisher right away. I was furious he had to wait for like two weeks!!

I remember calling and speaking to the minister there and having him run messages to my son for me. OMG!

See, I told you, they're all crazy for me. I had them eating right out of my hand!! LOL Must be something I was born with, don't you think? LOL

Hugs, Dev

BBD · 01-15-2009, 06:54 PM

All I can say here Dev is that I love your attitude. I'm a little on the nervous side today cause I haven't heard from Chris and have left three messages on his phone. Its times like this this make me nutty. AND~~I do have an important message for him that kinda scares me...I also love your idea of a book. That would be fun and keep us busy for these cold months. At least up here.....NY is going to get more snow tonight....and I'm already battling with cabin fever...smiles, Bonnie

Hilarious!

devastated · 01-16-2009, 09:55 AM

Oh, Bonnie, don't worry, everything will turn out the way it is suppose to. What's important to us just isn't important to them. If the message is something that is his responsibility, then the consequences are his.

Just remember, this too shall pass! Worry or no worry!

My son was suppose to go to get tested on Wednesday but, since I haven't seen him (spends lots of time with the gf) or heard a word from him, I don't know if he did or not. His problem, not mine.

I cannot believe how I have become, but I'm sure God figures I've served my time!

Hugs, Dev

devastated · 01-16-2009, 09:56 AM

Oh, incidentally, sorry about your cold weather. You can come here to California where we are experiencing summer-like weather in January. Yesterday it was 71 degrees. OMG! We need rain badly!

Hugs, Dev

Serenity Bound · 01-16-2009, 10:03 AM

Love the idea of the book.....OMG....it would be too much!!! I know we'd all have so much to contribute.

Speaking of cold....it's 19 degrees here in MD today, I'd love to come to CA. (and be warm)

Go Ravens!!
Chris
