When are the services for your friend, gleefan? How are you doing with your thoughts about him? Drinkers leave a lot of bad feelings in their wake when they die. I try to remember, there but for grace go I.

Just because I didn't drink today, I'm at least one day less likely to die of something non-alcohol related. Not the prettiest of thoughts, but true.

I haven't commiserated about your friend, Glee, because I'm really ambivalent. I'm really angry at the outrageous slap in the face to his family at his funeral--but at the same time I dare not judge him because I spent a lot of my life punishing my family with my self-proclaimed martyrdom, too.

I'm sorry about his life and the waste of it.

I have a busy day planned that is absent alcohol and drugs.

Hey, SQ...join the discussions.

Not planning to drink today.

Failure to plan is a plan for failure.

Baby eagle still growing like a weed. His/her adult feathers are almost all in and he has been "wingersizing" (that's the word the camera minders came up with) - first flight in about 30ish days apparently.

Now I've been asking everyone in the area here if they know where there is an eagle nest. So far, no go.

Happy Tuesday.

bim, isn't there another eagle cam that comes up later in the year? I seem to remember a buzz about one on the 24 Hour thread years ago, but it wasn't Florida.

Per usual, I'm late. My solution to my reluctance to get out of bed in the winter is to stay in bed. Starting now, I'm going to have a good day and not touch drugs or a drop of liquor!

It's a good day to kiss someone --spouses, dogs, and the mailman all count equal.
Happy Valentine's Day!

This is a heartily co-sexual, multi-gender-identity-supportive thread. Let's not confine each other to the prison bounds of our own experience.



Sober today, my chums!

hey ya'll, no drinking for me today. Question for the masses, has anyone heard of a program called Basefit? It is a program to "optimize human performance and total health. My bosses are offering it, it follows your sleep patterns, requires daily exercise, nutritional input also. I am 90% sure I am going to join, just wondering if any of you have heard of it, if so what were your thoughts.
May your Wednesday be wonderful!!

Thank you Gilmer!!!! Sounds good Badge! That sure was a mouthful courage! No matter what anybody says, I'm not going to drink/use today! Badge, we sure wouldn't try anything like that when we were drinking!

Hi, Badge. I hadn't heard of Basefit, but then I'm not exactly one who's on the crest of fitness trends!

^^^I hope you're not serious, Carlos! You're our resident rake -- what would the babe-a-lincolns (?) do without you?

Not heard of it badger, but it sounds cool.

No drinking or drugging for me today! Yay!

Not gonna drink. I've long ago stopped trying to figure out what you're all on about and now live in my own little happy world.

I'm learning that the less I say, the better for all concerned.
