Hey Jack mate are you ok? one of your'e messages on jonesy's thread has set those little warning bells off in my head. You know when i first came on this site you pulled my message out of some other thread it was buried in. The very 1st person to answer my cry for help was you, did you know that? Now dont get me wrong Bryn, MnM, momg etc have all been great but if you hadnt held out your hand to me i dont think i'd have hung around. I just wanted you to know that. Jack you know better than most how easy it is to fall in to old ways, how a couple of pills or just one hit because life is deliberitley trying to kick your butt can spiral even in wise old dudes like you lol. Just be vigilant mate if you want to vent i'll listen i've got kinda fond of ya and hope your ok. love kitteekatt xx
Kitt-
Thanks - I hear every word***
Im glad the 15 or so valium I had are now gone. Sure I didnt really need them . However, the last few days had me soooo stressed out ,I justified that even my doctor would tell me "WTF- I prescribed you those for a reason"
Anyway- none left- no desire to go to the doc for any more
What I need is to fill my day more constructively, while I on a job hunt

I'm so glad you didnt take what i was getting at the wrong way. I was a wee bit worried there jack. I think it's because you're always so stable and balanced. I can only imagine what its like to work for a company for such a long time, only to be brushed aside it's not fair. With the skillset you have you should be able to pick and choose what best suits but unfortunately as you've said before these positions are being out sourced east. The same thing is happening in Scotland and the UK as a whole, those worst hit being people in skilled positions in the 40 to 60yr old bracket. The whole thing sucks. Keep the faith Jack. As to you're boy i don't know what to tell you. They're rebels without a cause, just a boat load of future trouble but they wont be told, especially by mum and/or dad. Can't live with them cant live without them! Anyway i've no doubt bothered you enough rambling away. Take care OF YOURSELF jack, much love kitteekatt xx
Hey there jack-me-boy, How are you today? I hope your doing ok.( just to give you fair warning i'm gonna bug ya till i'm satisfied your feeling more "you" :) ok) So what are you're plans for today? Keeping busy is good, free time aint no friend of mine, thats a rhyme,Ooo so was that lol. I'm an undiscovered talent a new William Blake or maybe Dylan Thomas, the next poet lauriet! Mmmm... Maybe not lol! How British was that! I could always lay it down to a kickin' beat and become the next 50cent lol. Right i'll let you get on with whatever your doing now, Much love Kitt xx
Hi Jack how are you today? i hope you're well. What are your plans for the day? I meant to ask you, do you go to meetings or anything? Thats one route i've never tried myself, i don't actually know where my nearest NA meeting is. I think i'd be awfully embarrassed walking in to a room of strangers baring my soul, but maybe it's not like that. I hope you feel better in yourself today. Thinking of you Jack from all the way across the atlantic and sending much love back. Take care of yourself Jack Kitt xx
Hey there jackie (just trying jackie out i dont think it suits you lol) Have you had a productive day? I don't know what time it is where you are it's just after 11pm here, all the weans are on thier summer holidays, they start at the end of june through to the end of August here in scotland. So 11pm feels like about 4am lol. Its pretty much rained all day today so ive spent the day cutting and pasting and colouring lol got my butt handed to me several times in various games on the wii and PS3 (BY A GROUP OF 8-9YR OLDS) My little girl has a friend sleeping over and my lovely man is over at my mums trying to fix her old banger. That woman will not be parted from that car, i think its only gratitude holding that thing together, well that and rust! Check in soon jack and let me know youre ok. love KK xx
BTW weans = children. KKx
Hi Kitty---***
Im alright - except being bored and hot (its like over 100 every day)
Im getting really paranoid about my unemployment running out- I know 1100 bucks (american) - every 2 weeks aint a whole lot- but I cant even get that when I go on these interviews and they ask me what would I be willing to take to start.
If I tell them what I was making when I got laid off- - the conversation is over!- -When I tell them to just match Unemployment** even that seems to be a hassle-
WTF- how are we going to kick start this economy is we dont pay people fairlY??
No wonder consumer confidence is so low- and the market dropped 250 points on Friday- - new hiring expectations came out> and the market acted accordingly-
Yeah- Im starting to get the blues again- - I get confident 1 week- then the next week- I get bummed out.
mY long time partner (Sandy ) called me from Albany NY- She says she doesnt drink booze anymore - at least not much- -(Hmmm) - and she works for a health care company. They pay her pretty well to take care of the old and needy. Right now she only takes care of 1 older woman ,who lives a home- - you know cooks her meals. cleans the place, walks here around, does her checking transactions- - etc.... so from 7 am- till 4 pm- (then the next girl comes in) she does all right- She sez it helps her emotionally and financially.
She wants me to come up to Albany ,NY- -we were together about 16-17 years- but Im not no sure I want to move to Albany and try to make this all work out .
Her brother sez , I could get a good job with him on the Railroad- I guess there is a train that carries these huge containers full of boxes of California fruits and veggies- and they need people to unload them and keep track of the whole operation.
I dont know- - its a thought I guess- - I still have my son and my mom here to think about, , but without any cash coming in- - I would be of little help.
Ok- thats enough- -
Talk to ya soon
wacky- jacky

Sometimes a change of scenery is good, Jack...it's not like you couldn't change your mind and come home. Let the kid look after Chickie for awhile, might do them both some good.
Love you ~ M&M
Love you ~ M&M
I think M&M might have a point. I'm not great at geography so i dont know how far from your mum and son you'll be driving time etc. ( all i know is scotland could fit in to the US about 1000 times lol) If the work prospects really are dire in your area and being unemployed is at threat of putting youre sobriety at risk through depression, panic and just too much on your damn shoulders, give it a shot or at least a good long think. Go up and check out the possibilities for yourself people promise the earth, make sure these oppertunities exist and are worth while. much love jack KKxx
Hey jack hows life in the USA today? I finished work early today ive been a little under the weather nothing to write home about though lol. I spent the day looking through brochures connor has promised to take me to you're excellent NYC for a lil' shopping and a lil "us" time just before christmas i think maybe 4 nights. My little daughter aint gonna be happy but no doubt she'll get well compensated lol that kid could negotiate for the UN. You could do me a favour and recommend some cool stuff to visit, i'm actually very excited woohoo! Right now back to normality its just about midnight here and i'm debating wether to take the dogs out or wait for connor to get home in about a half hour from work (shifts) how lazy am i :) Have you decided what your going to do about moving with your partner to check out the work projects where she's at? Well i'll let you get on much love KKxx
