DrakeCKC - CONGRATULATIONS ON 1/2 a year of sobriety
That is a huge accomplishment! I started to really have faith and hope when I reached six months. I hope you find a wonderful way to celebrate.

Carlos, the house stuff went OK yesterday. Not cleaning though, bf would never volunteer to help with that. More maintenance type stuff that in any normal relationship would be all his job anyway. Are you sure you don't want to come over to my house for an afternoon? 
I have a leave blower, but when I try to use it, I can never get the leaves to blow where I want them to, they just seem to go all over like confetti! The weed-whacker and the lawn mower are no problem, but the leave blower is beyond me, so I resort to an old-fashioned rake.
Drake- Huge congrats on 6 months!!

Toots, Molly of course. I get confused because the human has the dog name and the dog has the human name. ha ha ha. Where can I find a smiley that is rolling on the floor laughing? Give a hug to Molly for me. And you're right, Babette doesn't let herself be touched but she will sometimes agree to sit next to me. When that happens, she's grateful for food.
Have a great afternoon. Morning for us here.

Hi again Sunday best Undies
Hope you're all having a good day.
Madbird, I wouldn't mind a chicken or two either, not suIIre they'd get much peace with the g. Children and my cat though.
You're sounding happy and cheerful today, it's good to see.
b.f you're sounding more like your old self. Yay. You did yourself proud when you visited your friend, good on you for not staying long enough to be swayed.
The storm was great to watch.
Sobermarathon, welcome to our Undies, you'll get loads of support here and a few laughs too. I think most of us can relate to your battles to stay sober, I know I can anyway. As you can see I joined S.R in 2010. I had more day ones than soft Mick but then it clicked with me and I'm now on almost 14 months. So I know that if I can do it, then so can you. You can do anything you put your mind to if you want it badly enough. Stick close and keep reading and posting.xxx
Haha Toots, I did guess that, it just gave me a smile. I agree with the training courses for men, I'm still trying to train mine to close cupboard door after himself. There again, apparently I leave little piles everywhere!
Gxx

To get Toots' stars, you type
:nyc
Well that will give you one star, for multiples you want to do it more times. (:nyc :nyc :nyc :nyc :nyc)This is one of the 'smileys' available if you click on the smile icon
and then 'More smileys' and scroll down far enough.
In this case, you can see the letters for mine instead of the star because I clicked 'Go Advanced' and then selected 'Disable smilies in text' under miscellaneous options.

Welcome snoozy & sobermarathon!
Got up a little after six and took my dog to the park for some frisbee. Coyotes are a huge problem where I am so I always have to keep an eye out if I'm with my dog early morning or night. One time I had one following us for a lil over a mile and finally had to call someone to pick up my dog and I Bc I couldn't get the coyote to leave us alone. They're fearless!
Drake huge congrats on your 6 months!!! Hope you treat yourself to something fun today.
Dorothy I haven't mentioned my dogs name Bc if someone work related was ever to come across SR it could mean loosing my job and being that my dog comes to work everyday it would be a sure giveaway. My dad took in a feral pregnant cat a couple years ago. She had kittens and neighbors ended up taking them in. She every now and then will warm up to a person but she's crazy too!
I feel very content not drinking this weekend compared to last weekend when some thoughts of it popped into my head. No desire to drink as of right now. I ask my HP everyday to remove the desire to drink tho.

Hey snoozyq, glad you swung by! This is a great thread.
Ctrl, hahaha I love that you no longer feel a beer improves a thunderstorm, why do we believe we can improve on nature by getting half cut??
Also like you and Carlos I absolutely do not snore in bed! Neither- contrary to my husbands continuing assertions- do I break wind frequently and loudly!
Whichever reminds me, I also need to get my leaf blower out. I cannot see my drive at the moment!
A weed whacker, DG? Is that some kind of bf assaulting weapon?? Lol
Hi Vicki, good to see you! They are new year fireworks in the smileys, DG explains it all!!
BF you are sounding really strong today, keep that focus. It must be lovely to have a job you can take your dog to work ( and get her cheap health care when she is poorly!)
It is sad that you can be in danger of losing your job by trying to get better, as with so many here, I would not be at to he point of sobriety I have reached without this site, so to feel it might be detrimentally judged just makes me fizz!
Grace, it will be good to have you home, I hope your holiday was as wonderful as it sounded.
Steve 10 months tomorrow, I am proud to know you my friend.x
SM, Skye, Happyfeet, MB, madbird, Tanja, Dotty, courage, Mel and everyone else have a lovely sunmonday and a sober week.

Hi Undies, a lot of post recently. I love when this thread is active.
Today is day 194. We took our 4 year old Princess bowling this morning. She really liked it. Now watching the Patriots struggle against the Bengals. Drinking Orangina instead of booze, and that's okay. I went to an AA meeting last night as the AV was getting louder. I like that I'm proactive in my sobriety.
Sobriety gives me a clear a positive mindset, and allows me to fully participate in my family life.
God Bless.
Matthew
