Miss you, Spunk Rat.

oh i was wondering if it would come out heh was so nice meeting you the other night please keep in touch!

I hear that.

Happy Halloween mate.

the pleasure was all mine

You better get your costume sorted mr.

Sounds rad! Hopefully it was real and not a daydream. Sounds almost too good to be true though!

Yeah, seriously, lay off the ellipses!

Well, happy fathers day anyway Regan.

That's definitely how alcoholism works, it comes in so many different forms, I think two bottles is okay, though probably higher than her norm, it might not be an addiction yet, which is the most important thing. That said, alcoholics (of whom, through family and relatoinships I've been personal vicitim to, as presumable observable) are generally drinking to quiet their minds. They reach a certain threshold and search for a coping method to remove the vicious thoughts in their head. Your mum's drinking might not be such a bad thing in this highly stressful situation, we all need something to help us through the night.

My advice is, if she's not talking about it, make her laugh, offer her stories, give her something *else* to take her mind off it. Get to know her again.

Other than my second piece of advice is, don't let your own feelings get pushed aside by theirs. Make sure you're taken into account.

I'm really sorry to hear about you dad, I hope you're holding up okay.

love and *hugs*

i didnt realise you were on HERE too

and i did meet you at scotts place at coorpooroo, was his birthday last year if i recall correctly

Good to hear things seem well, even if it turns out to be just for today.
I ran outside and washed my car in that storm. The rain was like ice falling from the sky, I'm surprised I'm not sick!
Keep up the good work!

I worked with my brother and his wife at our booth at a small local renaissance fair. The weather Saturday was lovely, and our sales were surprisingly good for a first day. Sunday was cold, and we even had a brief hailstorm. Because of the weather, not many people came to the fair, so sales were abysmal. Next weekend, Memorial Day Weekend, the weather is supposed to be nice, so here's hoping that lots of families show up with lots of kids who want to buy wooden swords and shields.

Today I take the old dog to the vet to decide his fate. He's a sixteen year old lab, and his hips are giving out. He can still get around, so hopefully his prognosis will be good. However, no one wants an animal to suffer, so we'll see.

I have been good lately with the buying of beads - I haven't. It helps that I don't have my car at the moment but yes it can cost a lot of money.

I was hoping for a sleep in this weekend but it is not going to happen.
