Morning overs

Did I miss the camel fbl?

Personally, I'm pleased all of you got sober! I would have missed your comradeship, your humour, your big personalities! You're fantastic!

Hey itchy, no wonder I get lost! I thought it was 5 lefts make a right!

Have a good Thursday

Hi guys, too much over the last few days to respond to in the short time I have. Away to join the great unwashed on public tramsport as hubby will have to check the car over for our trip across the border. We drive around 300 miles to Newcastle tonight to fly tomorrow to Orlando. I then have a 90ish minute drive to our villa. I just hope the roads aren't too busy or confusing!
I'm not sure whether I will have a shortage or an abundance of time for checking & posting, so expect me when you see me.

Wolfie get that match last night! Wasn't it brilliant, I could have wept everytime city equalised!

FBL I got sober here on SR. No AA.

So glad you are Dee.
Some things are meant though, you've had lots of people to help and that's just the tiny bit I know of you.

Good morning all, so lovely in the UK, a blowy and sunny September day.

xx

Safe travels, Toots! Hope you enjoy your time in Florida.

I love this group! I love my "normie" friends and family, but only a fellow person in recovery can truly understand what it's like. You guys 'n' gals are the best.

Mags, you didn't miss the camel...I have to give him a break sometimes, lest he wear out his welcome

Have a Thunderous Thursday, overs!

Good morning, my happy fellow Overs

The longer I'm here and the better I get to know y'all the more it feels like family. Although I could wish I'd never started with alcohol, then I wouldn't have gotten to know you ... so I feel very fortunate. Life happens!

Sassy kitty is doing much better (at 17+ years). She is now on a calcium channel blocker for high blood pressure, vitamin b12 and a med for arthritis. She is now a rather expensive cat but is much happier :-)

Toots, have a lovely holiday.

Hi back venus! I haven't had any time lately, for anything but the necessities. I'm getting through it but have to make an effort to not let it get me down as it's kind of a bummer cause I have no life and miss my dog. Work is challenging and pretty fun still, but just such long hours. And my roommate has been nuts lately, she's bipolar and it's driving me to start looking for another place. I don't have the time or energy to deal with it. Need my own space. Unfortunately Vancouver's rental market is a nightmare right now, I looked at a small one bedroom last weekend that was $1600!!! Who can afford that. Disgusting.
Anyway all small problems compared to some.
Thoughtful Thursday everyone!!!

(Itchy, cool threadbombing thing back there, I'm trying it!)

Safe travels and have a great time in Florida Toots! Back to summer temperatures for you. I think Orlando was the airport that I was in that had a monorail to shuttle you around. Or maybe it was Tampa?

Have lots of fun and use sunblock.

Toots,
Have a good flight and vacation.

Andy,
You too.

RZ,
Yeah that's is what I read here when I was first sober and I was shocked anyone did it without a doc, at least in the loop. My previous was about how everyone chooses their own way and I have yet to read about anyone who did an in hospital medical detox. I am sure there are many but few I have read. Granted, I have not been out of the Overs much in the last three years, so more may be checking in to a hospital. But despite it being read as medically OK because of the way I wrote it, I have always written to get with your doc. At least read him in on the issue as he/she can help immensely.
I just meant that I was not suggesting anyone do it my way, which was to do everything at first, then drop away from what was no longer needed or relevant.
Glad you made it too.

Wolf,
Have a good break as absence does make the heart grow fonder for those with love.
Watching the night of what with great reviews? Hope the strains are healed.


FBL,
Noooo! I admit it, I detested the camel after a bit but like a wart it grew on me. I missed my weekly dose of retro kitsch.

Sassy,
We give our furkids more care and feeding than many would. That is a good thing. Your fur kid won the lottery too.

I am with you in I consider everything we survive as lessons in our humility in success. There but for the grace of some higher power . . .

IP,
Good luck with the roomie. I've had one for 44 years. We lived through each others' trial and triumphs. Good job on the recursive threadbomb!

Well I am trying to set up the surgery dates but it is waiting on my Aunt in Boca to see if she can arrange one of the grand nephews as my adult for the first 24 hours. I have a good friend that lives an hour from Tampa in Bowling Green who can do it the second week of October. It is a much longer drive for them. Our dad is getting worse by the week and does not do well when she is not there at least daily. Not a good time for us to be out of state as I may have mentioned earlier. But he might be around for a few years yet, so we have to do what we can. I can be gone now but not later.

Life is good! Y'all take a moment to realize you all are appreciated by more than just me.

Y'all don't do anything I wouldn't do, and remember I have children!

It's a hbo show we caught on sky atlantic I think itch it's entitled 'the night of' we watched the first episode and it was gripping to say the least

Wishing everyone a nice day

Good morning Overs.

Just back from A&E (Emergency room) DD's toe is not broken just badly bruised. Someone trod on it while they were playing net ball. Her toe looks like the 'treader' was wearing those weighted boots the early divers wore.

Have a good one everyone.
