Bwa-ha-ha! I got it!

Thanks Dee!

Curses, foiled again.....:headbange

Curses, foiled again? I'm the one with no drivers license, nowhere to go, nobody to see. :(

Gilmer, consider shotgun your 6th anniversary gift! Xx

:( sorry if that somehow offended or upset you Carlos.

Drake, goodness no, I'm not upset about anything. Not really even feeling sorry for myself. However, I am going a bit stir crazy. It's not exactly Manhattan outside my front door. Three cars passed me earlier today as I walked my two mile course on the main road.

It was I who choose to remain here for at least the first couple months while I do some remodeling. Soft serve, which I would love tonight is a six mile round trip. I may buy a bicycle on Sunday which will help in these lonely times when only ice cream would do!

Using the same phrase was just my initial thought, sorry!

Oh, thanks, Dee.

Every once in awhile we are in the right place at the right time and we are able to make another person's life just a little more bearable. That's a really wonderful feeling. That's a high that it's not bad to crave!

Thanks Carlos, I mis-read the whole thing. :hug:

I wonder how long it will take the rest of the Undies to find the new thread this time?? Bets anyone?? :lmao:

I had a great night out and about, instead of inside my head. :)

My friend and her son hosted a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society at the skating rink where our kids play hockey. It was nice to catch up with our friends and enjoy lighthearted conversations, while supporting a good cause. They raised $2200, which is pretty impressive considering they pulled it together in only a few weeks. I half expected Needy to show up as it was a public event held in a public location for a cause near and dear to her heart, but she didn't. I suspect she's trying to be hurtful to me, but to be honest I'm relieved to not deal with her volatility.

Toots - I have this fantasy of sitting at a typewriter and seeing what comes out. I may not be a good writer but I love the sound of the keys and the zing of the return, or at least the memory of those things. Gosh, as I write this I find myself scheming how to get ahold of a typewriter, ribbon, and paper. I admire your confidence to have a go at a novel. What does your creative process look like?

Gilmer - How wonderful that you marked your 6 months with props from your son. That sounds great.

Tanja - I'm sure you are bombarded with advice about insomnia, yet I'm compelled to share my $0.02. Exercise helps me, especially cardio, but when my sleep is especially out of whack, full body resistance training gets me back on track.

Carlos - Are you living in a secluded area without a car by choice? In any case, a bike sounds like a good investment, and a helmet an even better one. I have a friend whose life, or I should say brain, was saved by wearing a helmet when he fell off his bike on a flat bike path. He usually didn't wear a helmet on that path, but his kids were nearby when he left for his ride and he put on his helmet to act as a good example to them. End of safety lecture from Officer gleefan.

Have a good night, Undies!

Gleefan, Carlos had his license suspended. Hence the bike. Sounds like a good idea, Santana-man.

Dee, thanks for the new thread!

Gilmer, I'm glad you celebrated your 6 months by doing some good in the world.

One of my isms stopped by to pay me a surprise visit in the middle of the afternoon. Times like this, I swing up in a drama-fueled rush and then crash back down with various forms of fear and self-doubt, roller-coaster style. The ride is obviously part of my insanity, but I don't know if I want to give it up, you know? Like ice cream. Well, I didn't smoke any cigarettes today, so that's something. And I didn't have a drink, so that's something, too.

I hope all the Undies are ok, and find the new thread soon.

Glad you weathered the storm, Courage!

I'm not sure I really did yet, but thanks. As my mother very often said, I always take things too far. Another thing she said was, "Somebody's going to get hurt."

How are you?

I am doing fine. Insomnia tonight!

Courage and Gilmer. I relate to both of your afternoons and evenings. Happy middle of the night :)

Welcome, LeTheVerte! Good to see you! What's new today?

Happy middle of the night to you, too, LeThe! Is your username for tea, or the river Lethe, or both?

Smiles Courage :) Actually I love to drink green tea and my first language was French.

I had no idea that I would be so active on this site or I would have used an easier to type name :) I might change it to 'thegreentea'.

Gilmer. Good generally. Thrilled to be sober. Just worked so hard to stay sober all afternoon that the night came and I totally crashed.

Trying to stay 'out of my head'.
