A doctor on his morning walk, noticed an older lady sitting on her front step smoking a cigar, so he walked up to her and said, "I couldn't help but notice how happy you look! What is your secret?"

"I smoke ten cigars a day," she said. "Before I go to bed, I smoke a nice big joint. Apart from that, I drink a whole bottle of Jack Daniels every week, and eat only junk food. On weekends, I pop pills, get la1d, and don't exercise at all."

"That is absolutely amazing! How old are you?"

"Thirty-four," she replied.

Thanks Lurks

Fay: Thank you for scoring and starring this month - you really have done a great job. :T

Graeme: thanks for taking the time to post that very personal encouragement. I also have 'Living Sober', recommended on this thread, and which one of these days I will find time to read, when I have finished 'This Charming Man'.

Been to the spinning class at the gym - very pleased to have accomplished that little goal I'd set myself.

Right, as others, I must sort that washing etc before all back to school tomorrow.

Bi for now

Hi everyone, still here, still doing well. Internet is down at home and won't be back up again until November 10th!!!!!!! (another story), so I'm not getting much time to post here (having to be careful at work, etc etc etc)

Hope everyone is doing okay!

Hi everyone,

Thanks so much for all the warm welcomes back its really appriciated.

Well, I saw October out with a bottle of red but am determind to turn over a new leaf (again) for November and beyond. Have family comming over for dinner tonight, but have already warned them that we are not drinking alcohol so not to expect or bring any!! Sure they will survive, also I've found before that if I say it out loud I'll go through with it iykwim.

Anyway, hope everyone is enjoying this blustery day,

TTGU my cat is doing the same, silly thing doesn't seem to have much sense!!

Jo loving the pic, but hoping that's not quite how I look after the years of abuse :eek: will have to show oh later and see what his verdict is!!

He is doing good thank you. In fact it has changed his outlook on life and he is chilled and does not get stressed over the slightest thing.

Lesson for all of us

The kids may drive us mad but imagine not hearing them or seeing them again :eek:
