Sweet is the whole point of ice cream. I don't have much of a sweet tooth either, but sometimes a few bites is sublime! I love the baconsteak name! My boys would agree with your food groups. Plus, they would add bacon ice cream. |
Good morning, Marchers (or whatever time it is wherever you are)! I see I missed a very educational set of posts last night. To sum up: lasagna, lasagna, lasagna, cannoli and ice cream (and yes, DD, ice cream is loaded with sugar - some actually "just" milk sugar I think but there's also the sugar that gets added in. ). Shoes, I know this is a difficult time (I really have been through this). Nobody can take the pain away but I'm so glad you are sober now. As hard as it is, you will get through this and hopefully find some peace down the line. I don't think you will ever regret being there for your mom (and dad) and being in shape to help them make the decisions that were necessary. I feel sad for your brother who wasn't strong enough to do what you did but it sounds like he cares. You are in my thoughts! (((hugs))) Ok, I'm a but ******** in that I don't have 6 months sober yet but I'm happy to note that today is 5 months for me :tyou |
Good morning Sassy, good afternoon Toots and good night Joy. Heya all the other Marchers and Dee! :) Just wanted to send my love to Shoes, Shoes' Dad and all of you of course. And wehav -- that's a post to be proud of in Newcomers! |

Joy - confession. I chew a lot of ice. I just leave the cream part out. Sometimes I think I must be driving my coworkers mad the constant ice eating, but no one has said anything yet. Well at least to my face that is. Now water ice is amazing. Especially lemon. Nice, tart, lemon. Sassy - congrats! You get a 5 month hug. No refunds :) |
Natty - I just want something small on my wrist to remind me where I was and where I am now. Something I can actually see, and be able to cover up with sleeves at work. |
No no no no no Life. You stop that thinking right now! There isn't a one of us that ain't just one drink or f it thought away from going back. Please stop the all or nothing thinking! Please! This isn't a contest. This is just a group of people who found each other and do the best we all can to try to live a life we can live with. Sometimes we get do okay and sometimes the best we can do is just hang on for dear life. I'm hanging on for my dear Life whether you want to hold my hand or not. I'm not letting go!! |

F'ing alcohol and drugs I f'ing hate them. I hate how they make people feel like this. I f'ing hate them. |
Good lord! I leave you all alone for one day and look what happens? People being forced at fork point to eat ice cream, a dangerous mountain of lasagna, Natty using the ' F ' word,(quelle suprise dear one!) and folk getting tattoos with gay abandon! Really! Obviously to much sugar flying around this thread, it's just as well I am not diabetic! |
1 Attachment(s) Shoes and papa shoes, thoughts are with you both |
Life, please help us stay sober. This is not a contest, and even though there is some humor to keep us sane, this is definitely not a joke. We are all here to help each other. Like shoes said, we are all one bad day or thought away from going back. I don't want to go back. Some days are fun but a lot of days I am hanging by my toenails and sr keeps me from picking up |

We moved so quickly on the new thread I didn't get chance for a recap, so here goes, Wehav makes the strange, but welcome decision to join our ranks. We force her through several initiation rites and she still seems to like it here Joy begins word of the day ( Curmudgeonly) Natty models word of the day, it fits him well For some reason haggis and deep fried snickers are not well received. Budd gets new ankle jewellery Joy makes a vat of gumbo ( we think possibly to drown MIL in) LP and Black come back to the fold Joy introduces us to fried coke ( I kid you not!) Anecdotes of drunken tumbles abound: Natty fell down a basement Marcher face slapped her floor Joy had a nasty habit of igniting Toots fell in a rose bush Politics makes a brief but uninteresting appearance Shoes reveals her culinary secret; decent hot dog sausages- in just about anything but custard Joy gets her new licence to torture small children ( er, teach small children) Marcher and Budd celebrate their six months sober anniversary Budd meets a fish. Sass discovers the word 'Blootered' Budd gets licence to drive Shoes pimps his ride Marcher steals the hot weather from Toots Toots is moving to Boston, which apparently is not in Florida Sass offers to translate Toots lost weight Budd lost weight Joy lost weight Marcher did not lose weight A long discussion is held on the distinct aroma of young men's feet Natty tries to think happy thoughts, natty stops thinking happy thoughts after several nosebleeds Babs hits the town that never sleeps NYC will never fully recover Joy introduces us to the joys of the Urban Dictionary, and much hilarity ensues as we look out our names Poor 1day has to endure the floods, friends and family suffer. Toots gets Shetland ponies in Arran jumpers for her six month anniversary LP dons a sporran for the occasion Budd an Natty learn a new word 'Ironing' Toots admits it is her secret shame Budd, joy and Shoes reveal pictures of youthful indiscretions of the bad hairdo variety Dee is back yay! Tex is back yay!! Toots might not be bound for the US of A after all Joy is nice to MIL. MIL survives the shock Wehav celebrates seven months, we are ecstatic that she is proud of her achievement. Sadly Shoes mum passes, but peacefully. For some bizarre reason known only to him Digdug has joined our ranks. A more than welcome Marcher who apparently has nothing in common with anyone, but is strangely comforting to have around. Captain Shortstick confirms the bathtub HMS Gawdelpus is almost ready for its relaunch Well folks that's is about it for the last thread! Not a lot happened really!!! |
LP stop being a prima Donna and get your erse Back here! Dopey mare! 😃 |
Toots, ALL of that happened on the last thread alone? And your powers of recall are astounding. I'd forgotten half of that. Thank you, thank you for the wonderful Marcher synopsis! |
