Well - "MoringNite" - "Tree People" . . .
. . . Start of a NEW DAY . . .
Time for - COFFEE
YES - COFFEE - TIME . . .
Especially since I just woke up a little over an hour ago . . . AND - How wonderful it was to finally sleep a whole night long - just over 8 hours without waking up once until it was "morning" . . .
Okay - So . . .
Is that why you're called Uncle?
Actually, although it would have been a good reason for selecting that as an ECF "Handle/Nickname" - NO, that is not why I selected "Uncle" . . . Long Story - Short, "My" ECF Handle/Nickname came about after I was already participating in a few discussions on someone else's New Member's
Thread and then started/continued on "Mine" . . . AND - "Uncle" is supposed to represent that Older Single Male "Family" Member that Ya' either thought was just plain crazy & off the wall, or was so outspoken and direct that he always surprised Ya' by what he said, and/or was so understanding that Ya' felt "You" could tell them anything and looked up to them for advice . . . Plus it was much better than taking the "Handle/Nickname" that I previously used on other discussion boards in the early days of the internet and the Alt groups . . . Just Sayin' . . .
Not happy about it but there were worse possibilities.
Good for "You" taking a positive outlook on this situation . . . Maybe with "Your" determination and tenacity to get the J-O-B done right, once "You" are here in the states again "You" can make other arrangements for s different position that suites Ya' better . . . Just a thought . . .
FYI: Ya' missing what this post number is for the contest . . . Ya' might want to go back and edit it and any others to make sure . . . Just Sayin' . . .
AS - For the discussion about what Foods people eat for the NEW YEAR . . . Well, I don't remember exactly what we had for dinner to celebrate as a child because it was always different . . . However, as an Adult - It was always going out for New Year's Day Brunch and then for dinner . . . AND - It also depended on who I was going to dinner with or invited over to dine with . . . Also where I was living at the time . . . New Year's Eve or Day Dinner could be a Standing Rib Roast w/ Yorkshire pudding and all the fixings; a Ham w/Black eye peas, Collards, etc.; Pork & Sauerkraut/Red Cabbage w/ potatoes, and/or what I always usually made was a Pork Roast w/Chunky Apple sauce/Red Cinnamon Apples, except when I was "married" to a Cuban then it was - Pulled Pork, Yellow Rice, Black Beans, and Plantains
(both Tostones & Maduros) along with "Pudin de Ban"
(made with raisins & nuts) and topped off with real Caramel - which is one of "My" favorite meals of all time and really wish I could have tomorrow . . . Just Sayin' . . .
The beginning of this year will mark my 3rd year sober. I have came a long way and don't plan on looking back.
on "Your" 3rd Anniversary of Sobriety . . .
Last, but surely not the least for today - Before EVERYONE gets going, I just want to say that I hope no matter what "Your" plans are for Today/Tonight/Tomorrow - be it going out on the town or staying home - that each and everyone of "You"
Will PLAY NICE & STAY SAFE . . .
Also, I want to Wish "You" & "Yours" . . .
A NEW YEAR FILLED with . . .
HOPE, GOOD HEALTH, JOY & HAPPINESS
PROSPERITY, PEACE, & LOVE . . .
NOW - With all that said - Guess it is time to check out some of the other
ECF neighborhoods too . . .
See You Later . . .
