Now this is one of the best quotes I've ever seen on this message board. You made my day (and reminded me that the lounge is the place to be). I'm sorry that I drifted lately...

To Kimmifunn :bow:

Will you please be kind enough to come and get me if I get myself stuck on another thread about real estate, jobs, or something like that? We need a SoWal.com Lounge Swat team that comes and rescues posters who have gone over to the dark side...

peapod rescued me from the seawall thread last night! :shock: ..... Sorry Kurt, it won't happen again. I promise! :cool:

You bet, Kimmifunn. You're too smart and clever! So, stay out of trouble, please. Now, let's think of what else you are going to do with your time that doesn't cost money (or much money) and doesn't involve alcohol...

You said earlier that you want to do healthy things -- and the weather is getting nice. How about hanging out at a library to see what they have to do there? Joining groups of people who do interesting things that are free or low cost? Volunteering? Going to inexpensive movies. Reading a good book at a nice coffee shop or restaurant? Going to bookstores when they have free or low cost talks by authors (some of these can be boring, but others can be very interesting). You can meet some interesting people if you put yourself in some of these situations.

Here's a good website you may enjoy -- it's about "authentic happiness" and it has some self-assessments that help you discover your "signature" strengths (and has some good readings). It's a very credible site because the founder of the site is the former head of the American Psychological Association and is a well-known and respected researcher.

http://www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/

The idea is to build on your strengths and the first step is to identify them.

Hope this is helpful.
I adore you! You are too good! I signed up for a 48 mile bike ride through the whole city that benefits youth hostels. How bout that! I just need to get everything in order. I have just been partying way too much...and all my friends do it so there is nobody to hold us accountable. I'll check out this website asap! :clap_1:

I had a new idea for a drinking game, yesterday. You remember the game, Operation? Instead of having a buzzer and a light go off when you touch the wrong place on the game with the tweezers, the participants would be hooked up to the real juice :shock: -- ie -electricity, with a mild shock :shock:. When you get zapped :shock: you have to drink a shot. As the game goes on, whomever drinks the most, loses their motor skills and gets shocked :shock: the most. I think it could be funn, even if I don't play drinking games. :D

Go for it Kimmifunn. And go for what is called a "small wins" strategy. A lot of little wins is a great way to get a snowball effect going. Every little win builds on the other and creates an upward spiral.

If you put yourself in the right places, you'll be able to avoid the temptation to drink. Switch to bottled water. If you like to dance, how about Jazzercise? Artsy movies? And maybe you can get a friend or two to join you -- or go exploring these new activities on your own.

Good for you Kfizzie. :clap_1: :clap_1:

I need to get motivated to do something like that. BTW, my friend is in a Bocce ball club here and I think I'm going to join. I'll do it Monday.

Going to T-town for the night. I am so pumped.
