L2H,
I love a good mud bog. Sounds like you had a great day.
Best,

Ha, the gentlemen from the South are not the only purveyors of redneck culture! Believe it or not, I did not have to google this. I spent a decade in the sacred 600 liberal square kilometres in what’s widely considered to be Canada’s redneck province, where -- if one believes the internets -- this “sport” was invented. I remember reading a while back that one is no longer allowed to mud run on Crown land, but rather, must now haul one’s lock, stock and hillbilly barrel to private grounds ... The inevitable weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth could be heard all the way here in Toronto … :cries:

Wow, lost the new thread for a minute or 2 and panicked! Woke up this morning with a headache (no big deal) but also with an overpowering anguish that I'd written myself off last night. That was a big deal - the fog is still lifting. Thank God I'm sober!

Hey everyone, how goes it? I'm doing pretty good here - 196 days. I finish up my treatment group on Monday - so strange, when I started I was so resistant and angry about being there - now I love it and I'm so sad it's ending! Funny how perspectives change...

I have NO IDEA what a mud bog is!! :lmao

Hi guys, like Reeny I could not find the thread for the life of me.
Just posting there to make sure I got it :)
Congrats on finishing treatment and on 196 days Alison!!!

Speaking of the South, here is an hysterical joke a friend of mine posted:

Lawyers should never ask a Georgia grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer.

In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.'

The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?'

She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a
youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.'

The defense attorney nearly died.

The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said,

'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair.

That's funny, Carlotta. :lol: I could easily see that happening. I remember listening to my Mother and her friends have similar conversations at the drug store. The old kind of drug store that had a soda counter and a diner. I would read comic books while they drank sweet tea and gossiped.

Congrats Alison!

That gave me a good laugh, Carlotta!

Congratulations, Alison. Life is better now!

Cooperstown and the Glimmerglass Festival await! ... oh yeah, and that little Baseball Hall of something building :-) Have a nice weekend everyone. I'll miss you! (Is it weird to say that?) :wave:

be thankful :-)

If William Fualkner were alive today he would frequent mud bogs. :) Another team member gives me chance to be envious...someday I hope to see Cooperstown, Liz. Enjoy your trip.

I just realized yesterday was my 7 month anniversary. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Congrats on 7 months, L2H! Me too - Aug 1. Who can believe the day went by without noticing?

congrats L2H! :)

Liz--it's not weird to say that. :)

Congrats L2H and Reeny! I hit 7 months on the 2nd. Odd, not to be counting the days so closely anymore. Odd in a good way.

Way to go, greensleeves!

L2H and Greensleeves,
Excellent - congrats. I think it's revealing that we don't notice these milestones as much as time goes on - sobriety has become a way of life. The good way.
Best,
W

Congrats to all joining the 7 month club!!

:day4Alison, Reeny, L2H, and Greensleeves-Wow, 7months, congratulations! Thanks for reminding me to check. It's 7 months for me, too. Is it a good thing or not that we are paying less attention to these milestones? I certainly don't want to take them for granted.

~Each day is a gift.

Congratulations, pianwoman! Good for you! :c011:
