He drank again Dee. Stoney usually posts his thoughts and 'plan' when he's feeling better. I can only assume he's not feeling well at the moment. I understand what you're saying though.

Have to sheepishly admit that I used to watch Young & The Restless and General Hospital. Luke & Laura, whoa baby. That was in the mid-80's when I bartended at night, partied until the wee hours, then nursed my hangover watching soap operas. Gee, what a life

That's good to know about the weeding K. I guess I can safely put that on my things to do list.

Luke and Laura wuz da bomb. That was the greatest love story that ever sprang from a rape on a disco floor . Poor Scotty ( Baldwin... not you Astro).

No promises from him yet. I expect he will though... I'm sure of it .

Thanks for the home improvement vs. relapse report Mom.

And here's how my CoDA program works for me: I'm not powerful enough to to get anyone to promise to quit drinking.

How about pinkie swearing stoney?!!

Here's the story of a lovely Gypsy,
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls.
All of them had hair of gold, like their mother,
The youngest one in curls.


Here's the story, of a man named Stoney,
Who was busy with three boys of his own.
They were four men, living all together,
Yet they were all alone.


Till the one day when the lady met this fellow,
And they knew that it was much more than a hunch.
That this group would somehow form a family.
That's the way we all became th
