Aloha...need I say more about the weather. It was sooo good that the 49ers took advantage of our comfort and kept it so. Did have ice tho...goes good with a diet pepsie and the rainbow sherbit had a bit of it also.
Good morning to all. Yes the 9'ers were magnificent! Best playoff game in a long time. While I like the Saints, it's time for the changing of the guard. Go 9'ers and Houston!
The Niners are actually legit, great defense and Alex kind of reminded me of Eli Manning, not great but good enough and capable of heroics when necessary, Vernon Davis, what a monster, that won't happen again
Tebow on the other hand....

Nothing to do to save his life call his wife in Nothing to say but what a day, how's your boy been Nothing to do it's up to you, I've got nothing to say but it's OK Good morning, good morning
Going to work don't want to go feeling low down Heading for home you start to roam then you're in town Everybody knows there's nothing doing Everything is closed it's like a ruin Everyone you see is half asleep And you're on your own, you're in the street Good morning, good morning
After a while you start to smile, now you feel cool Then you decide to take a walk by the old school Nothing has changed, it's still the same I've got nothing to say but it's OK.
People runing round it's five o'clock, Everywhere in town it's getting dark, Everyone you see is full of life, It's time fot tea and meet the wife
Somebody needs to know the time, glad that I'm here Watching the skirts you start to flirt now you're in gear Go to a show you hope she goes I've got nothing to say, but it's OK Good morning, good morning...

Uh, OK, so I did not get either toilet in. I ran into some snags. I had to pull up the new floor because of how it was put in and after a few trips under the house, I have the right combination of framing and plumbing to close up and put down the new vinyl. I hope to hit it again Wednesday. Tom

Good Morning everyone. After reading the What Happened post I have decided that I will go back to doing what I was doing, even if it feels hopeless, and one of the things I was doing was reading this forum daily. So today 20/1/2112 day 1 for me I wish everyone a safe and sober day.
Happy Friday! If I can still be smiling after waking up and stepping in dog vomit then there is no excuse for anyone else not to be. *lol* Make it a good one and be happy and well. :)

Good morning. It's up to -8 degrees already here in central WI! It's a heat wave compared to the last couple of days! The goats and chickens even emerged from the barn when I took them their food and water. My finger froze to the metal handle of the bucket. Ouch... why didn't I take the 2 seconds to put on gloves??? That is the old me, not the new me. I take my time with things now... hmmm is it a sign I am not working hard enough on the program? I have been super busy this week.
Have a funeral to go to for my 96 yr old great uncle today who died in his sleep. I hope I have some of his gene's in me : )
Good morning everybody! Tasha, that made me laugh about your goats and chickens, I live in south Texas and I can tell it's over 60 degrees because my goats come out of their house, below that they are "bunkered up". -8, can't imagine! Have a beautiful day everyone! Dolly
Good morning everyone. There is an awesome storm going on here and I am so grateful I get to watch it from inside where it is warm and cozy and that I don't have to be out there in it. Be safe and have a blessed day. :)

Have a great day!

Dolly - what kind of goats do you have? I have pygmy's, just got them this year. I'm going to try and milk "Pippy" this spring. Everyone tells me it's very hard to milk a pygmy, but I am determined to try. She's a very sweet and gentle girl. I'm hoping to make yogurt, ice cream and soap with the milk. I am jealous of the warm weather. I swear I was not meant to be born up here! Somehow I was switched at birth or something LOL! My first week sober (about 3 weeks ago) we had a true WI heat wave. It was up in the 40's and 50's with NO SNOW! I was out in my baseball hat, t-shirt and flip flops, pitching baseballs to my son! He's a slugger by the way : )
Good morning! Started the day with pancakes, now off to church, a bit of grocery shopping, and a day of reading while it storms outside. It's my kind of Sunday. :)

Hi Tasha, they are Boer's, "meat goats" but mine are rescue goats (even goats need rescuing) and they serve no useful purpose other than bringing me joy and amusement. One of the highlights of sobriety, i get to go and play with my goats! Hav e a great day! Dolly p/s: I thing I will get pygmy's next go around-smaller and easier to transport!
Good morning all. :) I start a new job today and have a million butterflies in my tummy. What is different this time though is I don't have the need to drown the lil buggers with Chardonnay! *lol* Have a wonderful day everyone.

There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. Surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. ~ Falling down is a part of LIFE, getting back up is LIVING ~

Good morning fellow drunks! Perfect day in Wisconsin for making a tie-dyed snowman. Might use kool-aid and eat him too. If you live up north and have kids, I highly suggest this activity : )

Good morning - Dolly - my nanny goat had her babies much to my SHOCK AND SURPRISE yesterday! Not prepared at ALL! I need to get milking supplies yet! I can't believe we were just talking about this a couple days ago, and now it's here! I wasn't expecting her to have her babies for months! She had triplets, but one didn't make it. The other two little guys are doing great... Charlie and Simon. Pippy is a very attentive and good mama. If I were still drunk, I probably wouldn't follow through with my dream of milking her and making ice cream, yogurt and soap. Such a sign and gift from the big HP.
Good morning everyone! Tasha, that's awesome! Your so right, when I was drinking I hardly spent anytime with my animals...threw them some food and off I went. Now I sit out there with them and play and enjoy the the sunshine- no headache, don't feel like vomiting...it's so fabulous! Goats are so cute when they are babies (and later too I think). Have fun!!! I was thinking about you this morning when the weather came on and they said it will be 74 today here, of course I am locked in an office so I won't be enjoying anyway. Have a great (sober) day everyone! Dolly
Good morning all. Just havin a nice cuppa tea. Fabulous day here. Saturday so I think I'll clean out the shed and maybe mow lawns. Sounds a bit normal doesn't it? That's a worry :)
An old man was walking down the beach just before dawn. In the distance he saw a young man picking up stranded starfish and throwing them back into the sea. As the old man approached the young man, he asked; "Why do you spend so much energy doing what seems to be a waste of time?" The young man explained that the stranded starfish would die if left in the morning sun. "But there must be thousands of beaches and millions of starfish, exclaimed the old man. "How can your efforts make any difference?" The young man looked down at the small starfish in his hand and as he threw it to safety in the sea, he said; "It makes a difference to this one!"
