Oh dear, looks like finland now, Maine was it?

Don’t!!! I found the same sort of thing that actually looks like lady suspenders

When I do wear a dress shirt, I just tuck it in my boxers:joy:

Normal Friday night (which I love now) relaxing after a long week, made dinner and looking forward to a warm weekend here in AZ…

Working… feeling a little

TroyS · March 16, 2019, 5:05am

Pretty much the same. Reading and putting me first instead of the bottle.

Now I’m hiding in a corner huddled up trying to be invisible bc my depression is making me feel that way

Mine gets wet too- it’s finished and I live in mine, yay! Lol. It’s not SOAKED but it does get wet in spots where the cement has cracked. A few more months and I will have a real bedroom again, WITH A DOOR even! Yay!!

I too have a really old bedroom set, it’s packed away in the barn for now, it’s this painted green wood with even awesome candle holders built in and everything! No idea what year, but our old house was built in 1780 so anywhere from there on.

@Fireweed, yes ma’am!

What? I have never seen such a thing not can I imagine a use for it.

Coming at you LIVE from Pilgrim Country, it’s the Friday thread!

What’s on for tonight and the weekend, folks?

Lashing rain and high winds here today, so only suiting that I awoke with this song stuck in my head. Track 2 from my favorite Led Zeppelin album, Houses Of The Holy. This live version is superb, even if it is just Page/Plant.
Recently learned an interesting bit about this song, actually. Apparently Jimmy Page wrote it after hearing George Harrison remark that “Zeppelin never writes any ballads”. Funny thing, the two opening chords to “Rain Song” are the same chords used to open “Something”, which was of course written by George Harrison during his time with The Beatles. You can actually sing the opening lines of “Something” over the two opening chords of “Rain Song”, and it works out.

Have a great sober Friday, everyone!

What up!? I’ll be hosting a play-date tonight for two 7 year olds. Pizza has become a Friday night thing at my house, so

TeejLazer · March 22, 2019, 2:24pm

Playing a show tonight. Looking forward to it, as it’s a solid rocking lineup, and there’s been a good buzz building around our new album in the town we’re headed to, so hopefully the turn out is good.

Glad you are back

MandiH · March 22, 2019, 2:35pm

That happened every time I tried to leave here, glad you are back!!!

aircircle · March 22, 2019, 2:39pm

Here is some cuteness. Cuz i need it this morning.

MandiH · March 22, 2019, 2:44pm

I think I got complacent without it in the forefront of my mind daily, reminding me why I stay sober. Without that, the alcoholic brain gained power every time.

I had planned on trying a break again after my 1 year so I could focus on new things but I’m good where I am, so I’ve stayed. I just don’t read all the threads now so I miss a lot but being here even a little helps me!

anon19498634 · March 22, 2019, 3:39pm

Thank you So glad you’re back, Mel!

HoofHearted · March 22, 2019, 4:13pm

Even though you and I really haven’t interacted much, I’m glad you’re here.

MoCatt · March 22, 2019, 4:36pm

Mel! Glad to see you. It’s scary when you realize that the disease kept on getting bigger and badder,even after you broke up with it. I’m happy you are here…

MandiH · March 22, 2019, 5:02pm

How is the weather there right now? Looks like a perfect friday right there!
