    @itladyee @Womona It is frustrating . It looks like I am not alone, then. This is my experience as well, it’s like you say, when we make a mistake it seems to break the @ function . Also as mentioned, when copy/pasting in from somewhere else, it seems to work. I’ve resorted to this more recently with some of my posts as I’m hearing from people here and elsewhere about their posts vanishing. So far if I type the @username and it’s broken, I am able to highlight + copy (within the reply box), then paste and it pastes with a working link. What fun. 😁

    I haven’t heard or seen anything from @MissMay, I hope she is keeping well wherever she is.

    I haven’t and also think about her and miss her too. I have a feeling she is continuing to do very well on her LA journey.

    I have the same feeling @Michieb125, MissMay seems like a very determined person, very inspiring.

    @Michieb125 and @Womona ~ What app(s) are you two using… I'm sure you've both mentioned before :). No, I've not seen or heard from @MissMay, I think she left MFP entirely. I miss her as well and hope she's excelling at her goals.

    So far, August is looking good (celebrating the small wins). 😂

    @Alatariel75 I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm not even sure if I could have handled what you went through. You seem to be very strong. And, you have great goals. BTW…there's nothing wrong with drinking alone if you're enjoying a nice meal or enjoying some entertainment. Many years ago, I often went out on my own. There were times that I had nobody to go places with me. So, rather than sit on the couch by myself, I just went out by myself. And, usually, I had a very nice time.

    @globalhiker I am so impressed that you are on month 12 AF! It's inspiring that you mentioned that you were looking at old pictures and that you looked puffy, pudgy and tired looking. It is so true! That's what alcohol does to us. So why do we do it? Please keep up your streak! You're doing great!

    @NonnieDoiron your anniversary celebration sounds fun! I’ve never been to one, but I hear they’re a good time. I didn’t realize there were prizes for guessing the answer, but also that you have to “show your work”. Happy anniversary again! So glad to hear things are settling down for you.

    @globalhiker What you said in your post is so ironic. Yesterday, when I commented to you, I had actually typed, "Please don't drink again…you won't like it! And, since you haven't drank for so long, you will really regret it in the morning." Then I decided not to post that part.

    That is really good to know that a person can actually lose their taste for alcohol. Very encouraging! And, yes, you're still AF in my book!

    I don't want to jinx myself, but I'm hoping to be AF by tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest!

    @Womona It seems that you have a solid plan. It sure would be nice to have a sailboat! I hear ya on the chips. I told my husband that I was starting a new weight loss challenge on the first (Friday). Well, we went to the store. While I was looking at something else, he went over to the chips department and came back with a bag of Fritos scoops and bean dip. Then he saw this big box of donuts in the bakery section (he has a real sweet tooth). I told him to go ahead and get them (and of course, I ended up getting into them too). Yesterday, he went to the store to get a couple of steaks, potatoes, and sour cream. Well, guess what goes good with sour cream? Onion dip and Lay's potato chips! What a way to start a weight loss challenge! Anyways, he said he'll start being good 🤔

    @chicbuc Hey there! Great way to start out a weight loss challenge, huh?

    I started to setup my spreadsheet entry with "planned" and "actual" days. But I don't think that will work for me…at least not yet. I had checked off AF for all 31 days. But I haven't got my groove going yet! So I changed it back to just one line for AF days. Daily drinking isn't working for me right now. I constantly feel like do-do! I think I may have a plan though because really need to take a break!!! Stay tuned!

    Have a nice day everyone!
