Men are always whining about how women are sufficating them.
Personally, I think if you can hear them whining..you are not pressing hard enough, on the pillow.
If your'e not supposed to stick Q-tips in your ears..what the hell are they for???
Actually...you can have a healthy sex life, well into your later years..assuming you can stand the sight of people, your age...naked.
Christmas is just plain weird eh...What other time of the year, do you get to sit in your living room, in front of a dead tree...eating candy, out of your socks??
Ive still got it...but...nobody wants to see it..
Dont let aging get you down...Its too damned hard to get back up...
Have a nice day...eh..

um...Guess I havent been myself the last couple of days...or...maybe I have...who knows..:) felt pretty good anyways...
I apoligize if I offended anyone with my antics...
Im going to share something with yu...
Last Saturday night I bought a national lottery ticket...I dont make it a habit..but maybe twice a month..
Never really thought much about it....
Had an out of town AA service day on Sunday..and on the way back from the city..stopped for gas and smokes..so..figured Ide get the ticket checked too...
Well the damned thing hit, and it hit big time...Not the biggest one..but big enough to sit on it..for a couple days..wondering.."WHAT NOW" ..called lawyer this morning..blah..blah..Trip to the city over the next few days...
Still in kind of in a "Wake the hell up!!" and "Realization" frame of mind...and tryin to stay calm...
Anyway...one step at a time..one day at a time..love...

Yu know how yu can be stuck for so long at an intersection? Wondering where the hell youre going and whats next...and everyday you just try to take a step forward..and work that 11th step till its worn out?
The last couple of days Im thinkin ..Big flashy pickup...big house trailer on the back...big fancy house...travel....Blonde on each arm...all sorts of stuff..
But yu know? The answers Im getting from up above? All that stuff means shit...absolutely nothing...
Im thinkin Halfway house for alcoholics..
The same as John..in Wilmington North Carolina..
Its funny yu know...I took a course for an Alcohol Attendant and completed it a while ago...Had a job on the east coast of Canada waiting...etc...and the plans fell through..
Followed up on that course and took another one...and a short time ago.. got a Diploma for Alcohol Councelling..
I guess sometimes when we are stuck...as long as we keep looking up with spiritual faith..and just try to do the best we can...HE WILL take care of things...
Thats all I got....Have a good day...

Phil, I worked for Highlande Courte, a fancy shmancy rehab. for quite awhile. We had both private pay, then govt. funded, and a section for Tribal contracts. The common denomonator in all this was---where to go when we get out, and not right back into the environment we were in? Women with kids, men who needed jobs and to get back on their feet. Rich or poor, there was a severe shortage of safe places for these people. And if there weren't an opening somewhere, back to the street they'd go. Me, when I cleaned up, went right into a downtown hotel filled with dope fiends, immigrants, and alkies. General relief hotel. But, the desire to stay sober was stronger than the faction around me, so it worked. If yu get a new truck, gonna come visit????? Seems I have a spare room after all...love

I was a residential supervisor at a long-term inpatient treatment center a few years ago. I had been through their program twice, one for 90 days and the other for 68 days. So it was an honor working there. They tried to help people set up a life for themselves away from the alcoholic drama for when they got out, and it was so hard for some, like Wren was saying, with children, felonies, et. al. It gave me a lot of gratitude working there. I really tried to instill the importance of meetings and sponsor while I was there. They were pretty focused on the AA program there. Good place.
I like your idea, Phil, of kinda 'hanging back', and waiting to see what adventures HP might take you on. Whatever you and HP decide, blessings to you!!
