Just So You'll Know


In my formative years between about ages 7 - 14, I was fascinated by everything Abe. I read at least a dozen books about Abraham Lincoln; his life and family, his Presidency and all the circumstances surrounding his death.

Just so you'll know.


todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful


for another very spiritual birthday night @ Lambda on Saturday; there were 28 human alkies celebrating 316 years of life without drinking alcohol

that I am cleansing my innards today in preparation for a colonoscopy tomorrow (well, I'm not really grateful for this, but just thought I'd mention it). Just so you'll know.

for a nice touch-base meeting with my only active sponsee yesterday; I have 2 others who don't call any more so I don't count them as active sponsees.

that I am a garden-variety drunk and not a spoiled, young female celebrity who parties too much but is in denial about my drinking and drug problems

that my hair grows so slowly; yesterday, Pam asked me if I have ever had a pony tail and the answer is NO! It would have taken too long to grow. That was always my thinking. Of course, if I was going to have my hair in a pony tail, I would not be getting it cut anyway, so it would not matter how long it took to grow. Damn, I'm an alcoholic!

just so you'll know.

Gee, that's a mean sober time of 11.28 years!
Good luck with your cleansing day. I hope your procedure is early tomorrow morning.

Dear dAAve,

Oh, I feel for you having to drink that awful stuff prepatory to your procedure. That is worse that the colonoscopy.

I'm glad you're having yourself checked.

Good luck, I hope all goes well and the results are excellent.

And, thank you for your booster prayer for me regarding not smoking.
Love you.

I hope that you got some of the better stuff to drink in prep for the colonoscopy. The gallon of awful stuff that I've had before was worse than the procedure.
