    Andy,

    Would you and Mrs BHB be able to join us on our fabulous outing adventure? I know how much you love that A12 :rotfl: (nowhere near J17 where PBT lives by the way :cool:)

    Quite the opposite for me..... I'd much rather people talked, so the big city aint so good for me

    I'm just antisocial I think. I will talk to people at the MSE meet up though.:rotfl:

    All my detox stuff came this morning. I have more milk thistle and dandelion tincture for my liver. I got two homeopathic remedies, Sulphur to take in the morning and Nux Vomica (nice name!_pale_) for the evening.

    It's a giving up and CUTTING DOWN thread :D I think it'd be rude to expect those that can control their drink to stay AF :)

    I would imagine you wouldn't HAVE to be AF for the meet. After all, some on here are giving up, some are cutting down. Its up to you. I too am very shy so all in all it should be a very quiet meet up!:rotfl::rotfl:
