The Turkey Shot Out of the Oven
The Turkey Shot Out of the Oven
Jack Prelutsky
The turkey shot out of the oven
and rocketed into the air,
it knocked every plate off the table
and partly demolished a chair.
It ricocheted into a corner
and burst with deafening boom,
then splattered all over the kitchen,
completely obscuring the room.
It stuck to the walls and the windows,
it totally coated the floor,
there was turkey attached to the ceiling,
where there'd never been turkey before.
It blanketed every appliance,
it smeared every saucer and bowl,
there wasn't a way I could stop it,
that turkey was out of control.
I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure,
and thought with chagrin as I mopped,
that I'd never again stuff a turkey
with popcorn that hadn't been popped.

Here I am again….
Hi all....
It's been a while since I've posted...this roller coaster has taken a toll on me. I ended up in the ER with chest pain yesterday, was there for 7 hours.....I followed up with my reg pcp today and they hooked me up to a 24 hr monitor. They think it's stress related, but they want to be sure. I know it's stress. I am nauseas, I can't eat, can't sleep, cry constantly. I was doing so well...reading my books.....visiting the sites...going to naranon, and then boom...he relapsed and I lost it. I am trying to get back on track...detaching..and working on me , but it's so hard!!!!! To recap a lil for those who don't know...I am 37....My bf is 29...he is a heroin addict...we've been together almost 11 months..and He told me 7 months into the relationship he was an addict...because he had been arrested and needed to go to detox/rehab. I totally died at that moment cried screamed...ran left....2 days later I talked to him and realized I love him ..and needed to help him , support him and give him a chance. so I did!!! since then ...he's relapsed once a month I think..and you know the lies, excuses....guilt, bs etc...I stood by him, I was his warden at times....compassionate at times....I tried it all....finally this last time when he picked up again I lost it and said NO..I am detaching totally..it hurt..i cried....but I tried to take it each day asit came..and did ok..two weeks later i see him ..and all those feelings of love came back..I love his mom..and she loves me....I got to see her....b/c I had also detached from her....I missed her soooo...It was nice. He is going into detox tomorrow........so I pray this is the time he does it..stays clean....does the work...etc.....Please pray for him......me & mom!! Thanks for listening...any advice......would be appreciated!!!!!

I hit my bottom
Hi everyone, I am glad to have finally admitted I have a problem and am ready to give up alcohol again for good. Was out at a party having a great time with friends and DH and boom took a turn for the worse and was ready to leave my marriage, crying my eyes out and feel like crap today. I feel so lonely and depressed that I am not sure if that is why I have been drinking or is the drinking making me lonely and depressed.
I have every thing a woman could ever want, a loving husband great kids nice house and great friends. The one thing though is that I am burnt out at work and am hating it, but feel trapped because of the money. I am so overwhelmed that I don't know if I am coming or going.
I just wanted to reach out and start my Day 1 for the last time. I am excited about changing my life. I quit drinking for 5 years before and I felt great, I want to feel like that again. Will be here everyday for support.

I Feel too young for this…
Im only 19 and im an alcoholic, its day three for me, just before i went on my 4 day bender i went 12 days and felt pretty good. then i thought i could have a beer with a girl and boom 3 thirty racks and 2 handles of whiskey and a "date" gone disaster im on day 1 agian, and even more depressed. I feel like im too young i cant believe im an alcoholic it makes me suicidal at times but when i think of the idea of AA i feel like no one will take me seriously cause there all like 30's 40's 50's and so on. Friends and family say i cant do it on my own thats why im on this site. I just need some advice , by the way you are all extremly nice people.
