If you watch that video of Dee's you'll feel better. That was nice of you, Dee.


Sorry about the rabbit, Venus.

I don't let my cat outside. She doesn't want to go out, for that matter. She sits out on the balcony, but she's never been out in the world in the 20 years I've had her. I don't know why people let their cats out. It's not good for the wildlife and it's not good for the cats.

I haven't been around for a short while and missed a lot.

I'm very sorry, Venus.

Happy Birthday, Midnight.

Sorry, Suze.

Happy birthday Midnight.

Congrats Forwards.

The only consistency in life- it seems to me, is change.

Just keep plugging away. What seemed like clichés when I was a newly sober person in meetings- the wisdom behind those clichés becomes apparent. One day at a time.....

Hi Weekenders

Suze sorry love,xx

Lunar great video, thanks.


I saw this snippet on tv of penguins walking in a museum. They like the Grand Masters it seems.

morning all. Happy Friday

edit: not sure what's happened to the forum today, but it looks rather broken again.

something odd going on - it seems to have lost most of the formatting:

Fingers crossed all the bugs get sorted soon.

it had put me in Mobile mode for some reason - I'm somewhat back to normality now.

20 year old cat? Wow! I had no idea they could live that long. It must have had a pretty stress-free life.

We used to put the dogs out into the fenced back yard for the day but quit doing that to prevent them from bringing in dirt and ruining the furniture. Now they just stay in but go out a few times a day for business purposes. My kid's bull dog mix would love to have a litter box and not have to go outside at all.

Hope you had a good day yesterday midnightblue.

Morning

Late today as been doing some gardening / playing ball with Alfie

Lovely sunny day in London again. Just been watching a interview on tv about naturists doing yoga on Zoom, not for me but gave me a giggle.

Jobu's looking very well and content Lunar.

Hi, weekenders.

Thank you again for the Birthday wishes. I had a really good day yesterday.

Today though I am experiencing an after-Birthday low (quite expected though) - too philosophical, some "Now what" questions, more urgency to live a life instead of runing from pain piling up.

I hope more coffee will help. And a workout later)

Stay safe, everyone.

See you later.

Well I managed to get a new carer there this morning, she called out to the house and I hired her there and then. Hopefully she will work out. Now, if we
only we can get out with less restrictions here it should improve my mood more.

Reid I'm glad you got that carer situation sorted out. Yay for sobriety and sober decisions.


Kaily..."naturists"? Is that people without their clothes? Naturists must be a polite English term. I don't think you could pay me to watch that.


My coffee isn't hot enough. I don't have a microwave. That is the only reason to have one, so I'll just live with the imperfection.

Cityboy, my cat is old but you'd never know it. She seems happy and pretty healthy for an old cat. When they go outside they get into trouble! Cars, predators, antifreeze, poisoning, cat fights, dogs, disease. She's been practicing social distancing forever.

And to heat up the burgers that arrive too cold.....but mostly for coffee. s xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well done Reid, I hope the carer works out well.

Yes Bim, nudes. It was daytime tv so not rude, just innuendos. They also do keep fit classes.

I can't stop eating chocolate and sweets. It sounds so minor but its not. I think about them all the time. Skip meals to eat them. Plan and reward with them. Argue with myself in the shop about them. Proper addiction. The behaviour worries me as it is getting worse. Somehow I am not gaining weight so in a way that allows me to do it more. Just getting it out there..

As I plan to eat more.

I have been there Kaily love. s

A long time ago, and I ended up being 200 pounds and I am 5 ft 4. (almost)
And honestly, it was every bit as big an addiction as alcohol was for me.
