Morning Glories!!

((Corinne)) good going on 6 months :)

((AnnW)) I am reading the 2 Atlanta series now.. which I am pleasantly surprised by :) But with the bunch of days off i am also planning on finishing up the mud room.. seems to be waterproof after a bunch of trial and error, so I am thinking it needs some paint then I can organize it. I am actually a little surprised that it is water proof..

Beautiful weather here.. no snowdrops ((Mary)). Time to get the work things done so I can play some later!!

Have a grand day ((all))!]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 13:00:13 +0000 http://www.stayingcyber.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1176&PID=154918#154918 http://www.stayingcyber.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1176&PID=154916#154916 Author: Mary L A

Cold and grey morning but when I walked down the road the snowdrops are out and Magnolia stellata trees in full white bloom. Bought spring onions, late winter potatoes, spinach and a new apron at the local farm market. The old apron looks like a used oilrag.

Belated happy 21 years sober ((Don)), thanks for all you pass on here at SC

((Barney)) hoping you are over the worst of the cravings

(DougA) I talked to an AA member who does service in maximum security prisons around Gauteng (himself an ex-con) and he says the gratitude behind those bars is unimaginable. External liberty means little when we are trapped in active alcoholism

(Chris) this is so true and I often wonder about that mysterious cosmic kickstart: 'I guess the ol' acceptance trick has kicked in, in the heart as opposed to just words...though I've found that the words - over and over again and again - are sometimes needed to get the heart kick-started'

Congrats on six months sober (Corinne)

(cec)what news of the dog? Sorry to hear that

No bears out here but I'm always amazed our casualty figures aren't higher for tourists streaming into game reserves and wanting to commune with lions, leopards and rhino and get candid camera close-ups. A lion is a killing machine and under certain circumstances humans are prey. We have our place in the food chain. A group of German tourists once unwittingly drove up between a leopard and her cub and she chased and overtook the very fast ranger vehicle, clawed the driver terribly until she was slowed by a sedating dart.

(moe) salmon caviar sounds delicious

OH Richard, none of us does it perfect. I relapse 3x from 1984-1987, haven't had a drink since 1987. We do the best we can and if we get drunk then we find out what needs to be repaired and move on. Sobriety isn't about getting time to be "somebody" it's about spiritual growth, building ang maintaining a relationship with God. When you work on the spiritual thru working steps, then everything else follows, if you work on everything but the spiritual death and permantent insanity follow. Trusting God doesn't mean we're perfect, it just means we're less likely to react to life insanely. I'm glad you made it back Richard, was sorry to hear you went out however long ago. Alot of us don't make it back my friend, count you blessings learn from your mistakes and enjoy life. Mike aka Luckyone

Made a qucik run to town for food, didn't want to come back to the rig, day 34 and counting. Gods knows how long we have because this is a wildcat well. Company man said we'll keep going until we hit oil or run out of rig which ever comes first. Was nice to see people in town. Civilization is a good thing. Forgot what my wife longs like, oh weel absence makes the heart grow fonder.

I wish you wouldn't do that to me Steve. Not the Tuna, you can do that every day, but the High Island 568 part.

The only High Island 568 I can find is in the damn Solomons and the name is a WWII military designation from what I can figure.

I'm just glad I don't have the money to fly to the Solomons and to see if the bite's still on, it is winter there now you know.

Oh, and thanks for the 6month-a-versary well wishes.

((Linda)) you're so sweet - your delphinium is the only one of the three that came back after I had to cut all three back when they got too spindly to stand alone after they bloomed out (it's a perennial thang). And the "Linda" is blooming again in just the past 2 days...interesting :)]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 05:47:52 +0000 http://www.stayingcyber.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1176&PID=154912#154912 http://www.stayingcyber.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1176&PID=154911#154911 Author: Corinne

((BillJ))I've had an HP Pavillion dv9000 LapTop since either late 2007 or early 2008 - got it at Costco for around $799 & had to buy the programs for Office-type Word programs, yet it did come equipped with Vista premium & lots of other neat programs I rarely use (except I have been known to make some interesting little slide-show-movies with music that are lots of fun!). I've gotten used to Vista & this far out-performs the Dell Laptop I had prior. Windows8 looks very interesting.

Mainly dropping in to share that I went to the Luther Burbank gardens & historical home this afternoon. What an incredible place that will take me many more visits over the coming months to enjoy, as it is ever changing...being that it is a very active teaching garden for children, as well as an historical preservation site for a renowned, major Horticulturist.

All these years living in CA and never knew where the name Burbank originated, just figured it was an historical Calif. family name. Ah, the things I learn when I step away from home. Grateful I'm able to be doing more of that, a little bit more each day after day. Here's the Wikipedia for Burbank ...

Toward the bottom of the extensive Wikipedia outside links for Burbank, I found this entry from Autobiograph of a Yogi (Ch38) that I found so interesting to read. Luther had ideas on education that mirrored those of Swamiji ... such love of the "Human Plant."]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 05:44:42 +0000 http://www.stayingcyber.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1176&PID=154911#154911 http://www.stayingcyber.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1176&PID=154910#154910 Author: SteveM

Bill J – Chrome is just a different browser (I have both on mine) and you may just need to log in again to ATT and Chrome doesn’t have your cookies. I had to do the same thing on NETFLIX. Or maybe not?

Moe – You might have liked my old home away from home High Island 568 (it’s on the map) In the winter if you waited till it had been good and dark for a couple hours and the lights had brought the bait up; you could throw a 6oz diamond jig just to the edge of the darkness and let it tumble down on a slack line. Some nights a blackfin or the occasional yellowfin would hit every cast. I had a roustabout that said he ate so much tuna one week his turds would swim off when they hit the water.

Wish I had Moe or Glen to help with my computer. The daughter went from windows to Google’s Chrome operating system and we put it back but now I can not open the C-D for my ATT phone I suspect some setting got changed but do not have a clue as to what. Anybody got any ideas???

Am thinking of getting a new pavilion for the computer and maybe Windows 8. Any Ideas??

Love to my cyber friends. bj

I shot & killed a cinnamon phase, black bear in Orofino, Idaho back in '07. Took me four days. Two of the days tested my physical endurance almost to the max. Beautiful hide, many good meals. Unforgettable experience. ]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 04:59:13 +0000 http://www.stayingcyber.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1176&PID=154907#154907
