When i was bored Itchy i thought it was natures way of alerting me to having "spare capacity" - i like the painting analogy - we can't wait for perfect conditions to get started -and heck i need to learn how to paint - i had a go at printing recently using a plate made of gelitin - stuck the results on the wall in the study

Toots, I am an aviation fan! Love the sleek, sexy Vulcan and was thrilled to hear one has been restored to flight. The Handley-Page Victor, however, was the oddest looking plane ever! I went to our local airport a few years ago to see the RAF VC-10 that was parked there for a few days. Never quite knew what it was doing in KC.
Never rode in a Robin, but have seen a few in my visits to the UK. Here they are famous as the nemesis for Mr. Bean's Mini.
Feeling ok this AM, having fabulous fall weather here, was almost 80 yesterday, supposed to be almost 90! today. Fall returns next week I hear.
have a good one Overs!

Hi Overs.
It feels amazing to be home again. Plans for today are just to get settled back in- laundry, grocery shopping, unpacking, maybe wash the bugs off the front of the car if I get the time. Plus I am working on a few last details for my kitchen. I'd almost forgotten I'd painted it and was kind of surprised when I walked in the door to find it painted, lol. Now it's time to figure out what of my wall decorations are going back on the walls and what I want to change. Also kind of time just to re-organize a few things. Once I repaint a room, I want to clean up everything else in it to make it all nice.

Oh and on the topic of posting to new-comers, I actually did make a reply to one of those threads yesterday. And then got my post attacked by another poster. I don't see why people need to attack somebody else's opinion. I'm fine with people posting their feelings or opinion about a topic, but it irks when they can't just accept that other people will look at stuff differently. Sometimes, I get riled up by stuff like that. It leaves me wanting to post back something snarky and get into an argument. Truth be told, when I was new here, I may have done just that, trying to show that I was right. Now, I just unsubscribed from the thread rather than replying, but it is hard not to be a bit irked. I don't want to reply and hijack the original post and distract from the real issue- recovery.

Morning, it's off to work day again, but I'd moan if I didn't have a job and the company I work for, tatasteel, is being sold so who knows where our jobs will be. Such is life. It may be a problem but not a drama.
I got a globe app for my I pad as my geography is appalling but it's so interesting seeing all the people here from all areas of the globe. Brill.
When I first started work, nearly 40 years ago, I worked for the gpo telephone exchange and it was in the days there was no std dialling, you couldn't phone 30 miles away without the assistance of me and my telephoning colleagues.
How times have changed that we can speak to people the other side of the world with a press of a button or two.
Wonder what it will be like in 20 years time?
Just me pontificating, again.
Have a great week, overs.

Oh yes, the red call box , hehe, they were awful. Then my mum got a phone but we had a shared line, a party line with a lady round the corner. Those were the days, haha.
When we first got an automatic washer my mum and I used to take the mick out of my dad cos he thought it was marvellous, truth be told, we did too, a washing machine with a brain, amazing.
Talking of washing, thanks Dee, I'm getting there, amazingly. Life's great without booze in the formula and a lot of SR.

(Drake), can you change up your routine today? For me, when at my lowest, I try to find a way to engage with people f2f. Since I live remote, if I couldn't go anywhere, I just went for a walk. Sounds simple, but avoiding lazy, lonely and isolation are three things I try to avoid daily. You are probably a bit sad about your good friend that moved? Wasn't he sober a long time? Anyway, my best wishes that the day improves for you.

Oh, DG, since I was the one bugging you about how unique I have found your sober perspective, I decided to look up what happened. Man, that dude is sicker than most. In retrospect, I think my ego may have been that big a time or two in my active addiction. Sorry, but still, your suggestions were SPOT ON!!
