Good morning class. The cat is in as long as he/she leaves the cat nip at home Richard. It is alright if you bring some for yourself to indulge in though. It doesn't have the intoxicating effect on humans. Or does it? You do look a little nipped in that picture. I went to see Hangover last night. It was very funny. I don't remember anything that bizarre happening to me in my drinking career. I am not saying it didn't happen, I am just saying I don't remember it.  Happy 4'th of July all that celebrate it.

Seeing as JS already gave you a big hug here is one from me too VC. (((VC))). I didn't want you to think I was hitting on you in a week moment. I think it is pretty obvious that we want you around regardless. I don't think as a group we are as fanatical as some og the others so go easy on yourself. Your assignment VC is to post something after you read this to show is you are back in good spirits and when I say good spirits I mean mood wise.

Good morning class, quick check in after yet another night shift. Going to the early church service then back home for a nap before the much anticipated golf match between Tiger and the next upcoming young gun, Anthony Kim. I'm sure y'all are as thrilled as me... |

Good morning all. Hope the Americans are enjoying their long long weekend. Went to my sons for dinner last night to celebrate Mrs. Fub's birthday. It was good but no dessert for me. Still being stubborn about the fitness challenge.

Hello class, Thought i'd drop by and check out my old class. looks like you are all doing great VC, One slip in 6 months (back in May) - you're incredible! Kind Bird - just thought i'd mention that there is a v. good article is Men's Health mag. concerning swimming and the great benefits (that you and I already know). I haven't swam in 2 months - i need to figure out to get back in the pool - i have a very busy life right now, but i need to figure out how to get back in the pool. Love you all - Jackstone

Hey all, Good to check in and catch up - and see everyone here in class. Love all of you! the humor, support, wild ideas.. Sorry I did not check in sooner to tell VC - yes - stay here! You are such a heart in this class and this dealing with alcohol is really a process. I think we are all on this journey and somehow we got each other in January and seem to be really sticking together - in a really supportive way and it is really a good thing.. I will admit also that I have had a few glasses of wine since January - I have stayed sober but have not been 100% without some wine - and I don't fully know what to make of it.. It is nothing like it was when I came here but it is not truly without alcohol like it was in the first few months (I think I had a glass in mid-april with family visiting - just got stressed and had a glass with my husband at dinner one night).. Anyway, was not trying to keep anything from all of you but had not figured out what was going on for me with the occasional drink (still haven't), so I did not put it out here - probably should have.:sorry Hope you will all let me know if you feel like I have been a rat! AND, VC - Way to go with the class and almost getting through it -  That has been a huge accomplishment!Thanks for the swimming info Jackstone - will look up the article.. I have to say swimming is my thing - get a little batty if I am not in the water every few days. Started short runs this weekend - just a mile or two - think I will do that a few times a week too for the bone density (at that age!) and stamina. Happy B-day to Mrs. Fubar... and no cake for Mr. Fubar...you sure are sticking with this 16-week thing Fub.. way to go - you don't sound too deprived either! Had a fun holiday weekend - friends and bike ride, no BBQ but lots of good food (no wine in the fun either)... Watched the corn grow a bit too! Good to hang out with all of you this AM. Feels good to let you know about my not being fully on the wagon with all of you but hope to still hang in here with you Januarians and figure this wine thing out yet! :ghug |

We will always be together.....we take care of our own! It's a battle for us all......but we are here to support each other......all we can do is try.......there will be those like me who fail.......but the important thing is to keep looking ahead. Nobody puts baby in the corner. LOL......name that movie. OK.......LAME.

Good morning class. The teach has been doing a little research for the sake of the class. I scoured the internet for countless hours looking for definitions of sober and consulted some experts in the field and came up with three very good definitions. OK, OK. I looked it up on Wicktionary and asked my wife. 1./ Sober-not drunk-not intoxicated-not given to excessive drinking or alcohol 2./ My wifes definition.- If you drink any alcoholic drinks besides near beer you can pack your things and get the hell out of here. 3./ From Wikipedia as it pertains to me.-dull, not bright or colorful.  I think for the goals of the combined consensus of the class we can use one unless you have a spouse similar to mine upon which case you should use #2 because that is the higher power. Trust me on this one. Any violation of definition #1 has a compulsory sentence of 1 day in the corner with the dunce cap. I love the power. I haven't worn my teachers hat in a while.

Greetings and salutations. Well my wife is going away for a few days so I am on my own. One less person to get on my nerves. It will be restaurant time for me as I don't cook so I will have to figure out some healthy things to eat. We have about 50 restaurants within walking distance so it will be a full time job just figuring my meals out. Hope everyone is enjoying the summer.

Alright Fubar. When my spouse is gone for business or family affairs I call it "Michael time" (my name isn't really jsml) no discussions about dinner/restaurants, how we will spend our evening or the dreaded "let's just visit/talk"... I get in even more golf, the take-out dinner of my choice and get to watch all the sports/ESPN I want to. Used to drink way more during those times... |

I am really disappointed in both of you! You don't cook? Darn..........I love cooking with my significant other....if I had one.......but you should be able to make some good stuff...........hmmm........now that I think of it, he irrated me........how thin, how thick? When I was doing something else......maybe I am meant to be alone.......even though peeps say I am cute.......what say you?

The bars or going broke since I quit drinking so it is only fitting that the eateries do not go down with them. As far as you being cute. All I can say is all we have seen so far is that one blue eye on your avatar and if that is an indication you are fabulous darling. Now for a little Warren time. Never said that before but I kinda like it.
