    @SurferGirl1982 Glad you guys are OK. Flood waters can be extremely dangerous. I am so sorry about your car but thankfully you were not swept away. 🙏 I hope your car can be repaired.

    @SunnyDays930 Thanks! We were just in our neighborhood on a residential street. We didn't realize the water was so deep. I imagine the car will be OK. We're still hoping it may start on it's own. The water wasn't above the car doors. We're hoping it may dry out and start.

    @SparkSpringtime69 Have a nice trip! I've never been to New Jersey. I've been to Erie, PA and Buffalo, NY (you know Niagra Falls) when I was young. I'm with you with typing on phones. My thumbs are too big and my eyesight isn't perfect. The most that I do on my phone is adding contacts and an occasional short text. My phone is linked to my desktop. So I can text from it. But I'll usually just email instead.

    @chicbuc That sounds nice going to a brewery with you SO and son. We have quite a few local breweries here also.

    I'm still not on track with my drinking. But I will be soon. I mainly just want to be AF until I have to have labs done. I'm not sure when they'll be…probably in May. Then, depending on the lab results, I'll decide from there. I've been drinking for many years. So it's hard to just give up.

    Have a nice day everyone!

    I've been reasonably good this month in that I've been AF on most days (AF:15, A:4, I think).

    The only problem is that being mostly AF lowers my tolerance, as I posted earlier. This was true again on Saturday, where we hosted a St. Pats party, including a Jameson Toast at the beginning and then Guinness with our dinner. It was really fun and delicious, but I'm beginning to think I'm just plain too old to tolerate it at all. I should have stuck with just the Guinness (which is quite a light beer, as it happens).

    Still working on it!

    Where in NJ are you going? I’m a born and bred Jersey Girl. I had super big hair at Rutgers back in the 80’s! Anyway, have lots of fun!

    @Jthanmyfitnesspal I definitely notice the same as you…. tolerance goes way down, but I think that’s a good thing!

    @SurferGirl1982 hope your car recovers! That walk back through the icy cold flood water sounds so awful. Glad you are both safe!

    AF tonight, and for St. Paddy’s. I was at work super late that night, and just crawled into bed. Had a glass of wine at dinner out with the girls yesterday. Today was AF again. I thought about having a glass with dinner, but I also looked at how my skin is starting to look, so it was an easy decision to go AF!

    @Womona Thanks! Fortunately, we didn't have to walk very far…a quarter mile or less. But our feet were freezing. The car still hasn't started. We have an appointment at the auto shop at 2pm today. We will have to have it towed.

    I hear you on the skin thing. Alcohol seems to dry it out and I sometimes get little rough patches among other things. Back in 2005, I was drinking really heavy. I was living in a motel (I had just recently met my husband). I was working. But it was through a temp agency. So I was in a period where I wasn't working. Have you ever had a real bad sunburn and your skin would peel? Like in half to one inch patches? Well, that's what happened to me. I called my friend in CA and she said it sounded like I had a allergy or something. But it was just because I was barely eating (just drinking). We need proper nutrition for our skin and everything else to function properly. I cut back on the drinking and my skin condition cleared up.

    Sounds like your doing pretty good with LA. I hope for tomorrow to be Day 1 for me. I really need to get back on board. I really do feel much better when I'm not drinking. This coming Sun-Tues it's supposed to be in the upper 60's to possibly 80°. I plan to get some of my outside work done. Some of the work may be over my head. If so, I will call my handyman.

    Have a nice day everyone!
