Howdee Do All....What's shakin'??? Had a weekend at the Monster-In-Laws. Hell if I can survive that sober I think I may have this alcoholism thing down! Just Kidding. Did some golfing and some shopping and alot of listening to an old woman (Hubby's Mother) complain! LOLOL..I think once people hit 80 years old they have some "complaining chip" in their brain that kicks in. I think along with the "complaining chip" the "Everyone is out to get me chip" also kicks in. We taught her how to use the drive up window at the bank because it's hard for her to get in and out of the car. Well I went with her and she called the teller out of the bank because she wanted them to sign her slip to prove she deposited the money. OMG I wanted to melt into the floor of the car. I told her I would run in and do it and she said, "Oh No...I don't want this slip to leave my sight, in case they try to change it!!"" Thank God we were in a small little mountain town. They would have told her to pound sand in Southern California!! Needless to say it was quite funny. Then her idea of a big outing was going to Denny's to eat breakfast. I don't know about anyone else but that food should only be eaten if you are on a long long long long long long road trip and there is absolutely nothing else to eat. I would even suggest eating twigs and berries along the highway before eating Denny's. No offense if people out there like it. I just don't. It's heart attack on a plate. Anywhoo....she wanted to treat...which I think the bill came to around $15.00 and she left $16.00. A $1.00 tip. You gotta be kidding me! I told her that I forgot something on the table and ran back in and left another $5.00. Funny huh? Oh well I have rambled enough. Thanks for listening!
Hope everyone is doing well
P.s. Has ANYONE heard from Jayde?????.
Hey Valarie,
I hope you don't mind that I popped on here and read your post. I am on the pain pill board for support of my pain and have posted to your sis Rachel a few times. Really like her and wonder what kind of job she has living in Cali? It sounds so high up and professional. We have posted about shopping and Louis Vuitton, my fav handbag designer!!
That story is too hilarious!! I too would have wanted to curl up on the floor of the car so no one would see me lol.
That is how older people are isn't it. I also agree with Denney's food. That food is a heart attack waiting to happen.
By any chance did you see my post about wanting to hear the alcoholic stories here. May I ask what your story is? I am just curious as I have posted to your sis.
Love,
Walla

Howdee do Walla....Rachel is VWGirls Sister, BTW....
No worries you can pop on anytime you want. Everyone here on the booze board is AWESOME!! I will make a long story short. I basically have been through the rounds with addiction. Gambling, speed and finally booze. Had a lot of issues I am finally realizing with Childhood and have been running ever since. Have been sober from Speed over 6 years and sober for one year from booze on Sept. 6th. I am navigating my way sober for the first time in years and experiencing all the emotions that I never wanted to feel. It's a work in progress and I take it one day at a time. Nice to talk to you. I think I first posted to you because you popped in to remind us to watch Intervention which I did. I can watch with regards to alcohol on that show but lately when meth has been the subject I turn it off because it feels like a trigger.
What is your pill story. Did it start out innocent with actually taking them as prescribed? I am getting ready to have some surgery on the 14th and quite frankly I am looking forward to the pills. Just wanna feel something again. Crazy I know and don't worry my doctors know my history so they will be watchin' me! LOL

Oh sorry my bad. I got confused. I started taking them (Vicoprofen 7.5 mg) as prescribed by my dr for severe joint pain, back pain and period pain. I have always taken them only as prescribed and don't get an energy feeling off of them, I get a sleepy feeling quite the opposite. I only take 1-2 a day when my pain is at its most severe and thats it. I honestly take them for that reason not for a high. I am waiting for RA test results to come in. I still want to be careful and not get addicted to them. I post on there to get support from my pain and I do, it really helps. In fact, I don't have any pills right now, I ran out about a month ago from a script that was filled back in May. So just dealing with the pain, its hard.
I posted about that episode since ya'll are on the alcohol board, felt like you'd want to watch it. Now something I have never been able to understand is why people like doing Meth? Why would they like that wired, paranoid, stay up for days, feeling. Also not to mention what it does to your face after using it for awhile. Maybe you can enlighten me a bit. Real curious about this.
Love,
Walla

Hi Walla....the deal with meth is simple. In the beginning you do it and you feel like you can do anything. You are happy and feel like you are on top of the world. Right from the beginning you are hooked! It is aweful. You don't start to get paranoid right away and your skin isn't bad right away. People that you see like that have been at it a while. You should check out the meth boards. There are some people on there who are in active addiction as we speak. They might be able to tell ya more info on it.
As for the pain pill boards I didn't realize it was for support dealing with pain as well as addiction to the pills. That is great that you aren't addicted. I suppose by you reading the posts it keeps you from not going too far. Glad the boards have been good to you too. I know I probably wouldn't have made it this far without the wonderful people here.
Take care

Hi Valarie, was wondering where you were off to! Hey, is your husband's Mom single, if so, she sounds so much like my boyfriend's widowed Grandfather maybe we could hook them up ~ lol!
Walla, yep, I'm Rachel's sister....I am very blessed to be walking in recovery with her...she does a very lucrative job....hopefully, since she is my younger sister she will take care of me when I'm an old lady ~ lol ~ or I may end up like
Val's mother-in-law and no one will want to be around me!

Hey Vw Girl.....how are you? You know my Hubby and I joke that his mother will be unhappy in Heaven and that is probably true. I tell my hubby that when I am old I am gonna sit on the porch and throw rocks at people! LOLOL You know the good always die young and the assholes live forever!!! LMAO... Glad to be back....Sometimes I just lurk because I sometimes hate to always be thinking about drinking and thinking about recovery. You know how it is. Some days I just wanna not think about it. Though I am not so naive to think that I can forget about it. That's when slips happen right! talk to you later.
Yep, sometimes I take a break too, maybe a couple of days here and there...glad you're back...my BF's Grandfather is so negative....everyday something in the morning news sets him off...and then it stays with him the whole day! Here he is this 80-something old man, and it goes something like "GD politicians, there all a-holes", f the neighbors I hate them parking their cars in front of my house" or "this whole f' in country is in the toilet"...oh I could go on and on...too much ~ and he wonders why no one wants to visit.
I don't know what it is Vw...about the older population but they sure do get crotchity!! LOLOL....sounds like a broken record huh. She bitches about the same things too.
Hey Rach....nope my surgery is on the 14th of September...I just had to do all the pre-op hub bub and consult a month and a half early. Can't wait. Not sure if my addict brain is working overtime here or not. I am sure a little of both! Thanks for asking. How are you doing? Good I hope..

hey guys you are all too funny - got me laughing.
Grumpy old men (and women) huh!
VWGirl its a shame the old boy hasn't realised that if something in the morning news upsets him each day DON'T WATCH THE MORNING NEWS LOL.
I refuse to turn the news on in the morning cause it sure is too depressing. I don't want to start my day off with that stuff. Time enough for that later in the day.
say have we got an idea for a new business? Over 80's dating club LMAO.

Idgie....you're killin' me!!! LOLOL They could all go on dates, complain about how expensive everything is on the menu and how back in their day people were better cooks and there were bigger portions! LOL...Then they could all fight over who was Not gonna leave a tip! It's the funniest damn thing. I told my Mama if she ever acts like that I am gonna put her in a home and not visit her! Ha ha...My Mama is really cool so I don't think she will get like that.
Oh yeah...I forgot about something else she said that cracked us up! We were at lunch and she was talking about how expensive food was now and how the whole organic thing was a racket! She goes I see them spraying those chemicals on the veggies at the store to make them shiney! My hubby's niece so no Gramma that could only have been water....organic means no chemicals and pesticides! She would have none of it! It was the funniest damn thing. We all just realized that we were kicking a dead horse. At the age of 83 she has her mind made up and that's it. It was hilarious. LMAO
