Stopping in to say hi Bettie ๐
Must be a load off your mind now that the house is back up to date. You’ve got the right attitude! No more money for the casino. I’m on an extremely tight budget too. It’s made me look at finding pleasure in the little things. Which can really be a gift. Have a great day Bettie.
Laurafinding_lauraParticipantHey k,
glad it is all working out with the self exclusion. Perhaps I am a paranoid person but I wouldn’t be sharing that with work for a very very long time. Let them get to know you well first.
Good to see you last night for 25 minutes lol. Is the bill in the mail?
One day at a time girl, will catch up with you one of these days soon.
Laurafinding_lauraParticipantHi K,
must be a busy girl these days, all the way down here. I was looking for Cully Not sure where he got off to these days.
I don’t think I’d like sticking kids either. But, has to be done. I’m sure you’re one of those nice nurses. Not the ones that seem to enjoy picking you lol.
Well I started this over an hour ago but then got to chatting. I know I wanted to say a whole lot more but will be back again.
Oh and I know you aren’t focusing on this milestone, but Happy Awesome Wonderful 11 months of gambling free time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
talk soon,
Laurafinding_lauraParticipantHey Bettie,
this people pleaser says "I hear ya"!
Laura ๐finding_lauraParticipantHi Bettie,
so glad you posted that. Funny, I was thinking of Marilee last night. Just quickly wondering how she is doing and hoping all is well in her world.
And of course I stopped by to see how things are in your world Bettie. Sounds as though you are working things through. I think that was a tough part for me. Knowing that all the crappy feelings that made me want to run to gambling were still there to deal with. But, I am learning to cope in healthier ways. I want to have a healthy balanced mind. Going to take some work on my part! I am on my guard against replacing with another addiction.
Good for you Bettie on your thoughts on mr wrong. He doesn’t deserve your friendship. I see a smart, caring woman who deserves to be treated with respect. Don’t settle for less Bettie.
Have fun working on that list! That sounds like a great idea. Then the hard part will be deciding what you are going to do. But writing down all the possibilities must be fun.
Have a great day Bettie. Weekend chat is nearly here ๐
Laurafinding_lauraParticipantHey Kathryn,
thinking of you this morning and wondering how the first day of work went. it must be Monday evening for you there. I’m just starting my Monday and you are finishing it lol. Glad your back is feeling better. Be a good girl and keep up the excercises ๐ Hmmmm, costumes for the 80’s. Will hve to think about that one lol. Take care!
Love ya,
Laurafinding_lauraParticipantHey Bettie,
glad things are looking better this morning. Have a great day.
Laurafinding_lauraParticipantSo sorry to hear about your back K. I can sympathize ๐ Get better soon.
Love ya,
Laurafinding_lauraParticipantWohoooo Betty, party on! Hope you have a great day and a great time. $45 bucks wouldn’t have lasted long at the casino and you would have only had a machine for company. No laughs there. Sorry will miss you on chat today, but there is always tomorrow. Can’t wait lol.
take care,
Laurafinding_lauraParticipantHey K,
glad to have caught up with you a bit on weekend chat. Sorry to hear about your sister’s MIL. I would imagine that 9 guests, a funeral, and a baby (hmmm that sounds like a movie title) would be enough to fill anyone’s week off up. I do hope you get some down time, some you time before you start your new job. I know you were feeling a bit anxious about starting the new job. I know that you will be just fine because, I remember when you told me what the job was, I thought that it would be perfect for you. With your friendly personality, your compassion and understanding, and your sense of humor, I can see you making each patients visit a little easier and their day a little better. They are bound to love you, after all, we all do ๐
Well, can’t believe it is evening all ready. Had a rough day today but trying to roll with it as best I can. Seems strange not to have you and RG posting. Miss ya’s.
Talk soon,
Laurafinding_lauraParticipantHey Bettie,
I just got off chat, have to get some things done too. Good to hear you are enjoying the honeymoon. Sounds like you know what you need to do. You’ll get to it. Have a good day and maybe see you later.
Laurafinding_lauraParticipantHey Bettie,
want to come do my house when you are done of yours? I want one of those home makeovers you see on tv. They can clean sweep it and then decorate it. You are remembering to do things that are healthy for you and will make you feel great. Don’t forget to do some things that are just for fun. And if you can’t think of any make a list ๐
Come to think of it I should take my own advice and make a list. Good talking with you earlier Bettie. Have a good night if I miss you.
Laurafinding_lauraParticipantHey Kathryn,
seems like since forever since I have posted to you. Its great when we can find the positive, the happiness, the joy in life. Sounds like you are enjoying life, atta girl! But I definitely agree, do the banning ASAP. No sense in having any temptation about. I’ll say a prayer for your little great nephew, sounds like a large title for such a little man ๐ I truly hope things work out for your family K. Enjoy the hen party tonight and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do lol.
take care K
Laurafinding_lauraParticipantHey Larry,
glad you are here today, to share with us your joys and your sorrows. Your sorrows so we can be there for you and your joys so we can share them with you. Congratulations on your 8 months gamble free.
Take care,
Laurafinding_lauraParticipantHey Bettie,
don’t be too hard on yourself. Could be so many reasons why. That last hoorah maybe? You had come clean about your problem with your sister. Ok so now she knows I know I have a problem and I’m getting in one last gamble. Who knows, who better than you to examine the triggers. So you had a learning experience. A hurtful one but a growing experience and you are already making plans to put it to good use. You are banning from this latest temptation. Good for you Bettie! Don’t ever think you are letting us down. I see someone who is determined to put the breaks on this addiction and turn things around. One step at a time Bettie, you’ll get there. Hope your Monday dawns brighter.
take care,
Laura -
