metallimuse Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Thank you gents,I was thinking my first tattoo sleeve could be my treat after getting the rebate.Mentioned it to my dad who I thought would say no,keep it for a rainy day but instead he said if I'm still clean and sober then I should treat myself so I've got a reminder of the nicer things in life and why I'm not drinking and using anymore...but a shit load of Muse tickets sounds good aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallimuse Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Woke up with a massive smile today. Attended a great NA meeting last night which couldn't of been more apt for me as it just happened to be discussing the foundation of recovery and how to cope with being sober and clean and how to move on.My money worries seem to be over due to my impending tax rebate,my relationship with my family has improved massively and communicating a lot better,got standing tickets for Muse next year,my landlord seems to be happy that I'm fulfilling mu promise on my rent arrears,I'm feeling comfortable and positive about my sobriety...life is good...I'm waiting for something to go wrong lol!

Lovely post, hope its not to difficult over the christmas period. I had an addiction myself when I was 18/19 (20 years ago) and still have the odd urge now but its all about managing it. Hope you can keep working on it. Edited November 23, 2012 by thetime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed209 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 The students on my course doing me proud Never underestimate how much works goes into a lecturing course at uni, its been a total stress of epic proportions, but to see all their assignments plop into my inbox this afternoon, and opening them up for a quick glance to see that they've actually done well is a very satisfying feeling. To be fair, at this moment in time they probably hate my guts and want me hung up in the students union for giving that assignment, it was a total bitch. But I see why people teach now. Very rewarding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the money in the world couldnt buy times like this. Made up for you. Sounds ace. My brother spread talcum powder around the floor of his daughters rooms and made foot prints in them and said they were Santa's footprints. Apparently they were mesmerised.You may want to consider the same. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindles Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Happy Birthday Rufus Have a brilliant day. I've been bouncing around hospitals, doctors and tests the last few weeks, health has been shit to say the least, woke up this morning completely pain free, 2 whole days with nothing but rest, a bit of light housework and hobbies to fill my time. @metallimuse, great to read your good news, great to read you are still on the straight and narrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feral chile Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Watching my husband trying to give our cat her medication. And seeing the pill shoot back out of her mouth over and over again. It took her just one go to get the better of the pill popper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindles Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I have enough of an issue with applying frontline, I have no idea how I would get any of my cats to take a pill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feral chile Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I have enough of an issue with applying frontline, I have no idea how I would get any of my cats to take a pill! They're incredibly stubborn. We've got a pillpopper, which is a long applicator, you put the pill in one end and press the plunger. it shoots the pill to the back of the cat's throat and they have to swallow. The first time we used it was amazing, the first attempt got the pill down her. Thereafter though, she's developed a technique whereby she opens and shuts her mouth rapidly, while moving her head from side to side, thereby making it difficult to centre the device, so the pill often just goes into her cheek. And judging by the projectile rejection of the pill when she shoots it back out, she must be using some pretty fancy tonguework too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcademicPistol Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 They should really make this pill in injection form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feral chile Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 They should really make this pill in injection form. This one has to be taken whole, so I don't suppose it can be taken in liquid form. it's for a hyperactive thyroid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feral chile Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Suppository? Not after seeing her reaction to the vet's examination. She had to be wrapped in a towel for that particular exploration 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
