As I've said in other threads in the past, I work in the social work field with foster children. It breaks my heart to see the effects that drugs and alcohol have on a person. To sit by and watch kids being raised in foster care because their parents main priority in life is alcohol just plain sucks. When I hear stories of children going days without food yet their parents put empty boxes of food packaging in the cupboards and empty containers in the fridge to give the appearance of there being food in the house just so they can justify using their last dollar to buy alcohol or pills, well, let's just say it pisses me off.

If you really feel you don't have a problem with alcohol Luvs, I propose a challenge. Try going 1 month without touching a drop. If you can manage that without being in a hospital or other facility and being around others who drink, then I will be more inclined to believe you when you say you don't have a problem with alcohol.

The frost came out the ground enough for tillage. Running two rigs in corn stalks as fast and hard as we can go. By late tommarrow it will be raining here, and Monday night changing to snow. Hump time..... Should had this done a month ago if the weather had cooperated back then. Pretty muddy in places still.

Good luck with that. We still have about 6 inches of snow on the ground here. Amish boy came by and plowed my driveway for me yesterday since my truck and plow are still in the barn waiting to be fixed. Doc told me on Friday no work for a few days or I will start bleeding again. At least there will be some football later today!:clap:

Luvs,

I had a man who worked for me some years back. Good enough man he was...

Very thoughtfull, he kept a callender of his lifes events, and neve missed my daughters birthday ect...

Butthat callender also kept track of the failures in his life, and what his drinking ways had cost him. His marrage, the chance to have a family of his own, and a successfull carreer.. Those days he drank excessively for sure..

Pnuemonia set in, and he refused to take care of himself. One day I told him to go to the doctor, on his own, or I would take him by force if needed. He did, and never went home. He died 3 days later, and I lost a good friend, and worker because of his drinking. Not many days go bye that I don't think of Jack, and wonder if only I had made him go to the doctor a few weeks earlier. I regrett that..

People who care for you are the reason to dry out. They do not wish to see you end up like my friend Jack. You do this for them, as well as for yourself.

Nuff said...

Regards, Kirk

I went to the 7:30 Mass this morning.
Today is pink candle day in Advent.
Normally, I brunch at the diner after, but had breakfast with Santa this morning at the Knights of Columbus. :biggrin:
Pancakes and sausage.

Oh, and gas is down to $2.11 per gallon.

We skipped this morning's mass. Figured since we went last night(I played and sang at the service) that was alright.

Just the kiddies and I hanging out this weekend since the missus is out of town.

Did you burp, fart & consume non Mom approved food & drink? THAT'S the way to spend the day with your boy. Teach him manly habits he can carry through life and share with his future offspring.

Oh...don't forget to teach him the cramped finger pull trick. Classic! "Quick! Pull my finger." :yum::yum:

To be honest my son reminded me how hard it was to be young....he works hard to pay the bills and raise 2 young children and never moans on the outside but you can see on the inside it is a strain for him at times,he is so like his mom as in they share little emotion but you can see it in their eyes.

Pull my finger is old school for the little ones,once they passed the age of 2 it's game over these days:yum::yum::yum:

I look forward to this xmas,all my family at my house eating my food...don't get better than that.

One of my retired nurse friends, Joanie, dropped by this evening to bring me a big plate of fresh made Christmas goodies.
Frosted tree sugar cookies, buckeyes, chocolate dipped pretzel sticks, peanut butter kiss cookies, peppermint candy cane bark and a mini loaf of banana bread on a snowman plate wrapped in red and gold reindeer cellophane.

Since I don't eat a lot of sweets, I had one tree cookie and a pretzel, kept the nanner bread, then re-gifted the rest to the young couple who moved in next door last summer. They were pleased.
:biggrin:

Had a mad spell last night,i thought it was time for my son and his family to have their first pet,so i went on the interweb and found them a puppy:yum::yum::yum:

Now i have to go shopping for food,basket,collar,lead ect as i am picking it up tomorrow,need to book it into vets for jabs and general check up.

My 3 year old Jack and 1 year old Faith will love it,i think all kids should have a dog as it gives them a sense of responsibility.

Now i just have to tell my son,or should i just turn up with it:whistling:

Need a name....i best stay away from that bit:yum::yum::yum:

Got the new plugs spliced in on my plow and truck today. Had to use my plumbing torch to solder a broken wire and need to borrow a heat gun for the shrink tubes on the connectors. Next up is to work on the stoker on the coal stove. Probably rusted in place again. Too much moisture in the greenhouse.

Went for a 4 mile walk this morning at the mall (yeah, I'm officially a mall walker.:yum:), then to the store for eggs & seasoned bread crumbs. Lunch at the Chinese joint then home to cook. Just finished making 36 pieces of breaded chicken breast for Christmas dinner of Chicken Parmesan. The kitchen is all cleaned up and me & Mrs JEV are going OUT for dinner tonight. 2-1/2 hours of frying chicken & washing up everything is enough time in the kitchen for one day.

Just realized my unsociable insecurity check was direct deposited today. Bills are all paid, so it must mean it's time to go shopping for a toy for myself.:clap:Mrs JEV has a 30% off coupon from Kohl's, and I need a new watch. After losing 45# my watch spins around on my wrist, so it's time for a watch with an adjustable leather band.
