It's Thursday and I am back again. What's up???
Morning George and fellow OFFers. I can feel your excitment and understand it. Enjoy. Hubby has a Nolan Ryan signed & numbered baseball, it sits in our RV wrapped in a protective plastic case. I bought it for him as a special present. Hubby collects sports cards. The majority are up north in a locker. But his REALLY special cards are with us as we travel. Hubby has thousands and thousands of cards, football, baseball, basketball, and other sporting events, like the deck of cards for Iraq leaders. He loves to take the albums out and look at the cards. Oh the hours of pleasure these cards give him. Opening each little pack of cards is a whole process, discovering what players are in the package is also like opening Christmas gitfs. I had also gotten him a Nolan Ryan watch.
He sends his hi's and wishes you a winning season, exciting games, hot dogs and beer, good crowds, memories, and fun.
We are under a severe Tonado watch until 1:00. Heavy rains and super lightening last night. Took Yoda for his last walk around 9:30, late for him. The lightening behind the clouds was almost continuous and spectatcular to see. JUST made it home when the skies opened up.
Our son, Angus, age 27, called yesterday to say he decided to move to Montana. Did his resarch about housing, FISHING, master meat cutting jobs at local co-op's, FISHING, cost of living, FISHING, etc, FISHING. We told him that hey he is young, not married, no kids, just his dog, has 6 great fly rods already, ties flies, looks good, is good, and we support his decision as a mature adult and that we are proud of him. Called back later, was in a car accident. His fault, not hurt, his classic suzuki crunched, and his life over since he couldn't NOW make the life changing move. We calmed him down...not really he is an OCD, ADHD person.
Told him to call insurance, make sure he was OK and TO BE THANKFUL HE IS ALIVE AND THAT THE OTHER DRIVER WAS OK. Called us back later to say he was home, that he had a cut on his head he hadn't realized and a big bump. He said the cops told him he didn't need to go to hospital. I went wild, told him he had to go and check it out. I had to revert to ***** MOM OF THE UNIVERSE letting him know that with 40 years of medical knowledge in me this is what could happen to him last night, today, next week...if he had a brain bleed. Like I said he has OCD problems like me and can worry over a pimple and he was NOT now worried about a brain bleed. After blasting him, he finally agreed to go.
Hours later, 2 stitches, negative brain CAT scan, and x-rays he called to let us know he was OK, sore sore, sore. I had to "tell his so". Today should be interesting for us all. Please say a prayer he can handle this without deep depression and anger and disappointment. He becomes so warpped up in an idea and like a dog hunting who on point, can't let it go.
Hope all have a great and safe Thursday. Sober 148 days and so proud of me.
Hugs, Monica

Monica,
I just love you! I sure wish I could meet you in person. You and so many others here.
Glad your son is OK. I hope he can let it go like you said and get back on track. It is so hard to watch your kids struggle.
Take Care,
Cheryl

Good mornin' ya'll.
George I know you are excited. You sound like a little kid waiting for his trip to Disneyland!
Ahh, Laureen, Pat! I am in your same boat. I have the band and could use a little adjustment, but I am eating around my band every day! Candy, mostly. It is in the house because our son comes over for lunch and dessert every weekday. His dessert is malted milk balls, junior mints and peanut m&ms. So I tell myself I have to have them in the house. He doesn't have it in HIS house because he has no will power either!! The worst part is, I really don't care that much for that kind of candy, but I am eating it anyway. I hate to think how my weight would be sky rocketting if I wasn't doing my treadmil twice a day!! I know the key is getting my head straight. Perhaps a labotomy would help. I joined Jenny Craig and if I stick with their food I do great. I can't lie to myself anymore. I am up two sizes. Summer is coming. I have some really cute summer clothes that will stay in the closet this year!!
Have a fantabulous day!

Mary loves the red Twizzlers. She keeps a bag of them on her night stand. My big thing is chocolate. I had been having 5 or 6 of the mini-sized bars of some kind before going to bed. I cut it down to 2-3. Max. The way I did it was I freeze them so it is harder for me to see them. I guess whatever works.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
the struggles of living in the world where temptation is all around and the ability to say NO I won't have that. . . guess in the scheme of everyday life, it is not big, but for us, it can be BIG in a no so good way. . . Thanks for being a part of what works so well here. . .
