Hi Bettie…great to “chat”….sort of exhausted now. Worked a twelve hour shift. Not feeling the best . On anti biotics and slight pyrexia, but nothing compared to your back problems….how do you bear it? Even the thought freaks me out!…no computer access for days…02.20 now…gotta try to sleep. Off tomorrow and working twelve hour shifts again Friday and Saturday. Something is exhausting me…old age coming on?……talk soon!
Hi Bettie!
Sometimes we can be rubbed up the wrong way in chat. Especially since we don’t know each others’ full story. Let it go! Better chat next time! GA is not for everyone! In my (very limited experience) men get more out of it than women! (What’s new? lol)
Just keep focussing on that work target. Then you’ll be free to enjoy your vacation!no offence Kwb!…….nothing in this site offends me. We are all in this together. My response was written “tongue in cheek”. I hope you enjoy our company and that this forum will lead to lots of laughs and tears…great healing in both…I really have to put my head down. Its almost 3.30 am!….another g-free day has come to an end!…
just as well you’re not sitting on a casino stool Bettie! You’d take root…….I’m signing off now. Still in night duty mode…and sleeping half the day…went for a walk with a friend from work today and a meal, to the beach near “my” casino…she told me her housemate is gambling big time in that casino……made me feel sick to think of it. He s a nurse in the hospital we work in but I dont know him…he was on his way into the house when I was collecting her today and he stared at me. She had told him about me and my recovery…she told me he locked himself in his room for 2 days after losing a month’s salary…she thought that was funny! The poor guy could have been dead! Poor public awareness of this problem!…I’m praying youll meet your deadlines at work Bettie…….
at the weekends there is unmoderated chat Kwb, and sometimes you check in and find just one person……also some people share e mail addresses….(I’m hogging your thread Bettie, but I might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb!) We’re really two very respectable ladies Kwb…except for the CG bit!…
I’ve been neglecting you too Kathryn. Also Marilee, Nancy, Judy and so many others. I have no laptop now and only borrow my son’s…….Congrats on re banning,Also on Brea’s birthday. 19! wow!…where did the years go? (well we won’t answer that!)……Bloomsday! To celebrate the Joycean character, Leopold Bloom. I’m sure readers are familiar with the Irish genius James Joyce, but I won’t blow any trumpets……..!
got a bit of torture myself last night…not gambling…not chiro….guess what?….tell you the details in private chat..
was this torture free, or like gambling torture, VERY expensive!……
Oh Bettie! I am so sorry! You have achieved so much! Just blot it all out and move on…Your work stress, your back pain, weight, that dreadful shooting didn’t help…I know we find reasons and excuses to gamble, but recovery is not easy and we are all very vulnerable…Im praying that you’ll reach your work target…I finished my night duty and am off now until June 30th!!!! You wont believe my boss phoned me tonight, calling for overtime tomorrow. I NEED the money, but I refused the work. She thought she had misheard me, but I raised my voice and said NOT AVAILABLE….now I feel I let the hospital down…stinking thinking…AS IF it wouldn’t function without me.I NEED a break even more…I the past, I would have my two weeks off planned to a fine art and a host of lies to cover my tracks. Of course I would be off to the dungeons every day. Not this time! Not tomorrow. And I’ll say the same every day! by the way FWB back on the scene…texting me at the earl hours past few nights…even making plans for my holidays! VERY flattering! one day at a time on that one too……..you’ll be fine Bettie. Could you get a cert from your doc and ask for your deadlines to be deferred?…..you’re in my thoughts n prayers!…
is it really a year Kathryn…not sure of the exact date, but I know it’s around this time…….VERY WELL DONE AND CONGRATULATIONS on your outstanding success……..
good luck in your new job Kathryn. All your hard work is paying off. Your new employer is so lucky to get someone like you..as for the fancy dress, your idea seems great. you ll enjoy it whatever you dress up as…imagine having a niece the same age as yourself…I have one about ten years younger than me and her daughter is the same age as my son…..
terrible about your back Kathryn…I find it interesting that it should happen at this time!
Ever read Louise Hay.." You can heal your life"…she says sudden back injury relates to being stuck in the past…
As you move on to your new job, have a look for any unresolved issues especially guilt…!
Louise Hay said it, not me!is it eight months yesterday since your last bet Larry?
Time flies when things are going well..GREAT NEWS KATHRYN!
and all because you gave up gambling!
You could never have thought of changing jobs otherwise….(changing from one machine to another was the biggest move I ever took when I was "in the throes"!)
Things are faling into place for you m’darling and only due to your own effort and persistance!
Isn’t life wonderful, afterall?
One tip! Get the house sorted before you take up full time work…my is always in a tip because I let it get out of hand in my casino days and , as a result of working fulltime, I never caught up!
all the sevensThree cheers for the Illinois Gaming Commission..!
Another hurdle crossed by Bettie!
Now to the "toyboys"!…all the sevens
