Venuscat's thread - An unexpected bump in the road Pt. 2
Ha! Well, even Sisyphus caught a break and was able to push the rock downhill every once in awhile. I suspect he was never in San Francisco.
On our money is the saying "E Pluribus Unum." A fine motto for SR. 😀
I didn't know we could print our money though - that's exciting! I'm headed to go get some new green and black toner cartridges.

♥ And I need to talk to you Lillian my love....only 3 weeks and 2 days until I leave, based in San Francisco for two weeks from Nov 21.... Actually, how nice is this.....my friend upstairs, Cassidy, Is from Modesto and her mum loves me (she is pretty awesome herself ), and gas invited me for thanksgiving with their family. And they are going to come and get me....car service door-to-door. And they are not big drinkers....it's going to be so lovely I think. ♥
Yes we do need to connect. I'm am going to need to figure out a way to get to San Fran. I will be in Fresno on business on Nov 17, but that is too early. Doh! So close...yet so far.
At Thanksgiving do the Aussies roast a kangaroo instead of a turkey? If you take a Roo on a flight does Security require her to empty all of her pockets? Xray the kid for concealed weapons? Take her shoes off? If it flies Economy, how does she fit her tail into the tiny seat?

Didn't realize that you were staying in the U.S. as long as Thanksgiving. That's Nov. 24. New England specializes in that kind of thing and the leaves are hopefully still lovely. Keats at his best. Hope you can find your way to Boston! When it comes to turkey, I like the stuffing the best, then the cranberry sauce, then maybe oysters, creamed chestnuts, mashed sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top. Pumpkin pie is boring. Instead of turkey, Honey baked ham is good. Traditional Virginia ham, unless honey baked, is too salty for my taste. The Virginians didn't seem to mind that maybe because they could wash it down with wine and brandy.
They say the Pilgrims sat down with the friendly Indians but a recent author suggested that Miles Standish, a bloodthirsty little fellow, may have skipped dinner to go shooting them like deer. I had an ancestor who favored hunting them with dogs but was concerned only about what breed to choose. Rather like Tasmania I would think.

I think I just might be organised. Possibly. Because surely this cannot be true.
I do have good organisational skills, but it has been YEARS since I have seen them.
My pattern for so so long has been....was I guess, procrastination. I want to, but I don't know how, or I'm scared so I talk myself out of it. Or I take so long to get into gear that I miss the proverbial boat. And then rationalise why it wouldn't have worked out anyway.
That was the old me. That was alcoholic me, addict me. That person lived in a state of confusion for the most part of 30 years. It is a miracle I managed to think clearly enough to find my way to SR.
And now, this trip is the adventure of a lifetime, as well as being the first time I have been anywhere (really, anywhere) in 30 years.
Talk about taking a leap...and it's most definitely a leap of faith.
And it is happening because of my sobriety, my program and all of you.
Thank you. ♥

I'd never eat Skippy in the Uk it's become a bit of niche to have some pubs & other places serving up Kangaroo steaks or ostrich & thats in supermarkets too im getting more conscious about eating meat overall
Love you Suze x

San Francisco is a lovely place to visit. Perhaps, you can talk them into a drive up to see the redwood woods

Thank you darling Captain.
I can do all sorts of tours if I want while I'm there....and I will have my international driver's permit....so I can pretty much see what I want. I am really open to any suggestions any of you have....Aussie chick with no clue here. ♥
