hey Rhonda...

if you don't mind my asking.. how is Daniel doing? Is he hiding or just to busy for us these days? Do you think he'd appreciate a call or email? I don't want to intrude upon him but i also don't want him to think i've forgotten him.

Hi Jay, I hope you dont mind me answering this for Rhonda, Since Daniel and I go way back. LOL I'm doing Great Jay. For once in my life, I have been putting AA into action and not using AA because I wanted to meet someone else's expectation or avoid a consequence. I'm only doing it for me and trying to give it away to others. I believe I've had a vital spiritual experience (Awakening) that the big book says is about the only known cure for me. I've made 46 meetings in 46 days in a row and really about 60 meetings in those 46 days. I've gotten a sponser and a few people who I talk with who are co-sponsers even tho they dont know it. LOL I'm calling people in AA and trying to hang with the winners when I "hang" at all. I also have a aftercare therapist I go to. I've even put my recovery into action and Got a Job driving either a 26 foot Box truck or a Van. Picking up and deliverying Frieght and air-frieght. I'M enjoying Life very much right now. I'm sleeping good and eating well. Too well maybe. I have a very different attitude and esteem then I had 2 months ago. I guess that's what happens when I let go and ask for help. With that said, I hope you and Mel are doing well. I did get to see the news story on you two and thought it was Very cool. I hope your nuptuals go well and you two stay happy. I do lurk here sometimes and read what's going on. I am pretty busy lately tho. Somedays I have been leaving at 8 am and not getting home til 930 in the evening. I hope all of you lovely folks are doing well and are healthy. Thanks for looking in on me Jay. Hugs Daniel

yep..you beat me to the response.. morning hun

Morning Dear. I'm on hold with SSI trying to change that Job info they had sent me. It takes forever with them. Have a cool and happy day.

Hi Sweetie! I've thought about you alot and was wondering how you were doing. You sound happy and at peace and I couldn't be more pleased or more proud of you! I may not get to talk to you much but you are forever in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs to you My friend Barb

I am proud of you, Daniel...

Hi Becks- How's Mallory? And you, and Jon? Keep in touch eh?

Hey Lizzie Pants. Mallory turns 10 months old today... I cant believe it.. She is about 25 pounds and 31 inches tall.. Big girl. Her latest tricks are to climb up me while I am sitting on the floor with her and grab my face to give me a kiss (open mouth baby kiss). She pulls herself up to standing just about anywhere and then does the "dance" (shaking her butt). The best is that she sticks her pointer finger out to my Dad when she is leaving and they touch fingers (like in ET) and that is like her special thing with Papa. She says Momma, Dad,... and trys to say doggie, duck, and just about anything you say to her. She also has this fake laugh that is hysterical.. and I need to get it on video so you guys can see. Jon goes in for Spinal Fusion surgery on 9/24.. that is going to be a hard time for a while.... we are also trying to remodel our house and build a third bedroom. Ugh... LOL.. when it rains it pours.. Hope you are well.. XOXOXOXOXO Beckie how was that for an update? LOL

personally I LOVED it.. now she needs to go and check out MYSPACE.. and look up Mallory there
