thanks for sharing that story with us Foxy. Tree way to go. The amends we make in life are not necessarily to those that injured us. Just changing the way we act to all is a far greater amends. Good job!

Thank You my brother from another mother!

You are too humble, Brother.
Stand tall and be proud of yourself. Not enough of this in the world, you're honorable.

Well done tree!

Thanks for sharing Foxy about what Tree had done...Tree, what you did truly warmed my heart...

Awww Shucks

Thank You both, it just goes to show you that paybacks do not have to be a motherF*kker! And i am sure that we all do these random acts of kindness in our everyday lives.

Hey...I'm just peeking in to say 'hi'!

I just read the last few posts, but THAT one rocks!

Tree...what a great thing. It's people like you who restore the belief that there really are good people left in this old world.

That is just great...what a super start to a new year.

So I'm reading my local paper Sunday and the caption says... "SANTA PLOW BELIEVES IN THE POWER OF GIVING".......Well guess who Santa is........Our friend TREE.....the article reads about a women who called on Tree to plow her driveway and Tree was so backed up he couldn't get to her.......when Tree returned her p hone call..."she began crying. She was cooped up for days and just wanted to get out of the house to get breakfast...Tree jumped into his sleigh, er...plow and brought some Christmas cheer to her in the form of a egg sandwich.....Ever since she has tried to pay him and he won't accept...With a gleam in his eye he removes the snow after every storm for her and a few others on his "good list"......."This is a good way to give back to the universe", Tree said, "the universe has been good to me"........Tree I am so proud of you...how wonderful to see a man walk the walk......you are a miracle....someday your gonna believe me....Love ya Buddy....

well gang a meeting of some sort while there is a great idea. I was coming up with a friend on Thurs. and our thought was to hang for a bit at some of the places/happenings and then head out to do our own thing. Problem is I just got stood up at the last minute. It sux. So I have no way to make arrangements for the weekend now. Dang. So have fun y'all and I am sure some of this will keep it green for ya! lol

Ok with me for a meeting! I do the other fellowship...but hey twelve steps are twelve steps!

i know what you mean

Thanks seeme-feeling better about that weekend everyday, I will go to site and look for open ones. Again looking forward to meeting everyone. Lori

if it is an open one i would join you

Ditto! I am cosidering an early morning meeting on Perry St on the west side, I used to attend years ago whenever I was in the city, but I'm not sure if that will fly or not, would like to try to make a meeting somewhere, I'll be checking for meetings closer to the hotel if anyone is interested. I'll be missing my Sat morning home group...Just some food for thought! Lori

No one should ever have to explain themselves----yet i know there are those that are uncomfortable if all aren't drinking!!!!! there problem

soooooooooo it will be good to meet you

Only when I sleep in sitting position...and no, I am not bothered by people who drink, as long as they aren't getting stupid, or harrassing me. I often go hear music where there are drinks served, I am not tempted but do not like having to explain myself...

Do you snore???

Ok . so how is this for a plan... I do my Friday meeting ( ialmost NEVER miss this one) and head to the city ,eta 11:oo pm, , the only hitch is I havent checked on a room for friday yet....
Oh BTW , heres what happened to the last oerson who tried to cut me down....LMFAO

Tree-Please do it looks like we will have enough to have our own meeting. I was thinking the same thing about the whole weekend. I know enough to remove myself if I get uncomfortable but if fellow AA's are there it would make it a lot nicer and easier. Lori

Tree

does it bother you to be around ppl that do drink?????? see i do a bit--don't have to to have fun--and yes i know there are those that may drink tooooooooo much????? and it bothers me to be around those that do also--being an ACOA and my ex drank so he didn't have to feel--that is one thing i pay attention to in any one i'm potentially interested in--because i won't go there again--if in recovery and not a dry drunk that is AOK

soooooooooo Tree---i think if you came down on Fri we all could have a good time--those that drink and those that don't have to--along with those that just plan old don't
