Hi all - catching up on all the news from my wonderful classmates!
This is waaay late, but huge congrats to Black on 30 days. This is terrific news and I am so happy for you. Please check in from time to time to let us know how things are going.
Shoes, my fellow animal-lover, kiss that pooch right on the lips for me.
Joy, given that you are part of the March Class, I understand why you don't want to have to deal with 6-year olds on the job as well.
Sass - happy liver dance! Fantastic news.
Marcher13, I can be ready to join you at PEI at any time, just so you know.
Toots, I love Boston. Fantastic food, amazing history (we won, we won), great neighborhoods, but very expensive city to live in.
I know I have forgotten some of you, just chalk it up to my being an idiot. Love as ever to all.
Life is good!

Marcher - I have definitely appreciated the warm welcome. It's always nice to chat with people in the same stage of sobriety as me. I can only take so many "I have 4 days" threads in the Newcomers' Forum.
Shoes! I'm a pretty social person when I put effort into it. Though my natural tendency is to just say f*ck everyone and hole up in my apartment.
But this time I'm doing it differently. The program is helping me with the character defects of isolation and apathy.
And I have no social anxiety whatsoever. I get along with pretty much everyone. No fear of public speaking. My anxiety is all related to physical symptoms (panic attacks), PTSD from medical trauma, and performance anxiety (fear of failure).
We had a family dog. Got her when I was a junior in high school. I'm 31 now. We just put her down last month
I want a dog but I am very aware of the responsibility. I have a demanding job and with all the time I put into AA, I'm rarely home. I think it's cruel to leave a dog home alone for long periods of time. Plus, I live in the city. I like bigger d dogs and it's hard to have a big dog in the city because they have nowhere to run and play and eat dirt. We have a few parks here and there, but nothing like a good german shepherd needs to be happy.
If I did get dog, it would definitely be a pound puppy. But yes, older is probably better so I don't have to deal with housebreaking. Maybe a 5 year old, 35 pound mutt? Someday....sigh.
Joy - welcome back to the wonderful world of gainful employment. May your days be filled with misery and resentment like the rest of us.

First of all, I never said it was "gainful" employment.
And, I have to watch my mouth. I was all "sh*t", F@#k" trying to park and get to the meeting on time. I will get fired for that at school.
Oh, ya'll would have been ROFLFAO at this teacher orientation. Some of the stupidest, dullest minds in the south have gathered there to befuddle and amuse this marcher. If I could have legally recorded it, I would have. Just know that my very soul was in jeopardy this morning as I would have sold it to the devil himself to get out of there.
We had to be told not to put vodka in our water bottles, no xanax before work, no sleeping in class, and no fooling around with the hot high school kids. Also, no watching internet porn in class. Really??? And all those things have happened, hence the warnings.
But the clincher is that the man next to me, creeeeeepy. I don't trust men with blonde hair, I know irony Joy, but still. He was too old to be that blonde. (No offense to blonde men) Worse, he smelled of vodka, heavily marinated I do believe. And he kept leaning over close to me and chatting and laughing. I wanted to crawl out of my freaking skin.
That man should not be a teacher. Ever. I think he is a serial killer.
Now may be a good time to reevaluate my career choice. I'd like a job with regular travel, a big fat expense account, and flexible work days. Hmmmm...
Hey, North! Are you sleeping any these days?
Shoes, my Nana had a chihuahua, mean little yapper. I was always scared of it.
Dig, you know there do exist doggy day cares. Our friend here, the vet, has one at his clinic and it's a huge money making machine. Heeey! There's a career choice. Drop off and pick up just like kids. That is a true fact, my friend.

Hi guys well every one seems on good form!
Shoes, do you get a lot of alligators around your way? I think your wee dog would sort them out pronto!
Molly has a couple of wee boyfriends, both of which are a quarter her size, but double the noise. It's like short man syndrome, they have to shout louder and be more aggressive to prove they can hold their own against the big dogs. They're soft on Moll though!
I has a wee jack Russell ahe was a sweetie, but really I like a dog to be, well dog size! it has taken up til 3 years ago for me to be in a position to offer a proper home and commitment to a dog, in recent years I worked too long hours it wouldn't have been fair. Also where we live,we have fields and beach and hills and plenty of rabbits to chase! (That's Molly who does the chasing , you understand not me,)
Hi Babs, how are you today? Other than falling of your stool laughing at Shoes!
DD I would echo Marchers comment but god forbid you add egotism to your list of many failings. Lets just say youre probably not the worst person to have tripped over our thread, and leave it at that! I hope you managed to get a good run at your project, it's amazing how interesting things like lining up pencils become, when you are urging to focus on something important.
Hi Wehav, how are you today? You still have to show us this schoolmarm picture, don't be thinking we have forgotten!
Yeugh! Joy, that vodka soaked creep is probably watching internet porn in class even as I type. Doesn't blond hair look wrong on those of a 'certain age' I remember being on a boat sat behing this gorgeous head of blonde hair, highlight, lowlights layers the lot. When she got up to leave, she had to be 70 if a day. It was just sooooo wrong!
Norht my lovely marcher of the frozen north, how are you? You pop up to say hello but don't say much about how you're doing. I hope you are well.
Well folks another busy day in the world of optics so this old tart is off to her bed xx

Hi All,
Just filled out an application to adopt a Chinese Shar Pei, Hopefully it will go well, I had on back in Chicago and he moved with me to Florida. After I put my Bulldog down about 4 years ago I wouldn't get another dog because of time limitations. Right now seems to be a good time for me.
Hopefully my cat will understand!
Joy, No vodka or internet porn! What a narrow minded attitude those administrators have! I guess you'll have to resort to bookmaking!
Good to see you North.
DD, you fit in well here, I will speak to the others and see if we can move you up to full patch member without having to pay the dues!
Marcher, Toots was right, I was speaking of sisters as in the dating kind.
( DD, never date sisters, trust me)
Anklet off tomorrow!
Spent a little time with Keyweird yesterday, she's got a great attitude even after the horrible news. Doing all she can to make it through.
Have a great day everyone!

Dee, dear, dear Dee,
I meant absolutely no offense whatever (I put it in parenthesis) to you personally. But this freak really was the whole package deal- not just blonde, but the laugh, the smell, the creep factor, etc. I'm sure you are not a serial killer, at all.

I know there are some kitties out there that don't think that way but for some reason, I have 5 of the most spoiled rotten pets ever known. Probably my influence. Good thing I never had kids.
The only pet I ever had that didn't cause me trouble or burden me with responsibility was the spider I had living in my kitchen.

I'm just ragging Joy (and Toots)
There's nothing highlighted or anything about my hair - right now, til I hit the barbers, it's a Willie Nelson ponytail - which is bad enough LOL

Oh dear lord, Ken, are you blonde too? What is wrong with me?
Well, no vodka or internet porn for you, either. And hands off the cheerleaders, and twins.
And don't teach at my boys' schools. I've already warned them to BOLO for this creep.
Say hello to keyweird for me, please.

Hmmm. Budd's right. All those rules do seem to take all the fun out of teaching Joy. Go get a job at a workout place. Be the sales person signing up people for memberships. You can work different hours, wear comfy clothes, probably get a free membership and personal trainer. Get paid to look good. You would be helping people get healthy.
Hi North!
