The Daily Bitch 12th March 2012

Apologies for not setting up the Daily Bitch yesterday. I see Marietta took over took over the job. Thanks for that M. Shame about the topic though. Doesn't seem to have been that popular. Never mind - better luck next time.

Also I feel I should apologise personally to Marietta. I am neither dead nor writhing on my floor in agony. I simply went to a friend's 50th birthday party and had a really great time. We had lunch in a fantastic pub that I hadn't been to since 1976.

http://www.swans-nest.co.uk/

That roast beef looks very similar to what I was eating yesterday afternoon. Spring has come with a vengence here. We sat in the pub garden all afternoon and I even got a bit sunburnt. In the evening we went to an Irish pub with traditional music and had a whale of a time laughing, singing, dancing. Much more fun than sitting in meetings listening to Billshit.

Another glorious day today so I'm off out into the garden. The plan is to get the strawberry beds sorted today. If this weather keeps up they'll be in fruit in 10-12 weeks. Nothing like fresh strawberries from your own garden. Loads of manual work this time of year though. Not the greatest of fun but it's got to be done if you want the good stuff in the end.

I'm off down the pub again tonight. A friend of mine is playing in a local band - should be a good night. 2 pubs yesterday, another one today? Better watch out!!!! "If you go into the barber shop often enough you bound to get a haircut sometime" - what a load of bullshit. Nothing like a bit of on-going fear inducement. If I want to drink, I will drink. Either I will go to a pub and order it or go to a supermarket and buy it. I will then drink it. It will be completely my decision, not some crazy mental black spot or whatever Mad Bill says.

Maybe that could be a good topic for the day. What crazy sayings do AA come out with that reinforce the fear factor that AA relies on.

I think some of those things are meant for newcomers that insist they can go on about life as usual without modification. I couldn't have done it, but I find now that I can be anywhere and it doesn't bother me. I also never gave up delicious gourmet food, although a girl in the fellowship did give up her chef job because tasting all the sauces with wine whetted her to wine at home.

Strawberries sound wonderful, even the roast beef. If there is one thing I miss about the Brits I dated, it is the yorkshire pudding I learned to make...

Glad you had a great time, Ben. It comes to no surprise to me that many steppers wish people would get drunk or suffer horrible dry drunks when they are opposing the will of the 12 step religion. And we all know Marietta gets infuriated with anyone who has a life besides trolling all day. Jealousy is a bitter pill.
Is it just me or does Billy Butt sound more irritated and miserable the longer he is sober and in AA? Man, he was jumping all over the fact that you didn't participate in the Orange Forum for a single day. He sounds like he is making great progress in his "spiritual way of life".

Yesterday, we were near a couple of pubs with good names. One is called "The Nobody Inn" and the other, my favorite, is called "The Muscular Arms". That's in Dunchideock where the manor house has a treacle mine...lol Honest...lol.

Yes, Ben, I do believe it is. Someone posted this elsewhere:

"Down the lobby a door opened into an attractive bar. He could see the gay crowd inside. In there he would find companionship and release. Unless he took some drinks, he might not have the courage to scrape an acquaintance and would have a lonely week-end."

And reminiscing about men from his past:

Looking for something that isn't there. In the 30's, "gay" didn't have the meaning as it does today. Bill was on record as loving the whole thing about drinking - parties, people, the liveliness of the establishments... conviviality. I am sure that every one of you went into a bar so that you just could sit there and drink and rebuff any attempts of others to talk to you. That sure wasn't me. I was there for it all - fun, laughter, talk, jokes, dancing. And it was that way for a long time.

When was this, 1939? You do realize that 72 years have elapsed since that remark was made, right? Maybe some people do carry their ESH to jails or institutions, but I am taking a wild guess that most in AA do not have the time for such a mission today. In either case, how does anyone else's activities with regard to AA and sobriety affect you? If it doesn't affect you, there's no need to draw attention to it. If it does affect you, professional help might be in order.

How much you want to bet that at least one of out trolls caries these in her car and has a grammy on the shelf at home next to her altar to Bill Wilson?

In fact AA already has quite a few hookers as members. There was also a domoninatrix at flood street as well as two transsexuals On the game who had a fight during a meeting in Kensington. I'm sure properly organized,they would be quite successful as there are a lot of rather odd single men who are rather immature in the rooms. They have also had lots of practice of getting on their knees.

I remember once talking to a female stepper who was waxing lyrical about AA meetings and the fact that she even got to meet some prostitutes in them! What a delightful novelty this was to her, to be slumming it in such a way, and evidence of her true newly-found humility, tolerance and egalitarianism!

When I asked her whether she thought the prostitutes in question were as enamoured with mixing with the likes of her, however, she got quite unserene with me.

Actually I end up having to read the crap you and Clara write, because in the comment section it does not tell you who wrote it. I am really tired of all the trolling and people instigating trolling for the sake of google.

I dont like to hear about what Danny did to a poor girl over and over. I have stated my dislike for the trolling, and troll baiting. But I am just one person. This site is not about Danny or Clara, but it seems like the site has become all about them. I really dont care to hear Clara's life stories a thousand times a day. Why cant this site get high ranking without reducing it to this nonsense going back and forth with the likes of diabolical trolls?

Maybe it is like a car wreck, and people cant help but come on to see what mind games are being played by Clara and Danny. I could do without it.

I am interested in being proactive and getting the word out on choices in recovery. There are a lot of very smart people on the blog. Yet it gets drowned out by juvenile spats reduced to vulgarity by trolls and troll baiters.

As far as stats go, we can win the battle but lose the war. Let's get real genuine discussion going again and stop baiting the trolls.

He even posted a whole wall of text here that incriminated himself, then blamed others for doing it, when it was under his own username.

Everytime causy, JR and ben make a reference to Danny dragging a 14 year old girl around a parking lot, then we will pull out what members of fornits have uncovered about these three disgusting people.
If you the sleaseball members here don’t like it, then tell JR, ben and causy to stop it.
Otherwise I don’t care what you say.
Some of you here believe I am Danny even though I am a female by the name of Trisha. So it is disgusting when I read about a young girl being dragged around a parking lot. I have two young adult children. This is stupid.

Let me point out this post from btnben on the "Daily Bitch 12 March 2012" blog:

"... Danny has been posting on fornits about myself, JR and C&E." Not only is btnben "visiting" Fornits but he is "dragging that over here" - in bold defiance of "everyone [who] has made it clear that they don't care". Please take note that this one of your inner sanctum darlings who is boring you to tears.

You instigate trouble, you go behind peoples back and contribute to the smut, rumors and fabrications being written. I don’t care what people think of you here because they don’t know you as I have learned.
Gosh this has been a very eye opening experience for me these last couple of weeks. I have learned more about members here and on others sites then one should know. It is no wonder nothing ever gets done that is productive. People like JR, Causy, Ben and Avo waste more time trying to fabricate garbage to rip apart pro aa’ers then they contribute positively to this site.
Guys leave Danny alone and stop calling me Danny. Then maybe all this goes away. But I am not going to tolerate ben, JR or causy humiliating me by calling me an abuser of young children. This is absolutely sick behavior.

I frankly can't see how anyone thinks any of this is funny. But you contribute to it, and no one causes any one of you to act but yourself. All the OPers give this man far too much space in their brains, accusing others of being him and then telling "Danny jokes" when there isn't something to discuss. So who really is "ruining" this forum? I'm here to learn something, not to get involved in your petty arguments among each other.

People any idiot can read. There are so many links to fornits and Stinkin Thinkin on here, you could probably line them up and they would just about go around the country. Plus as the favorite jab goes around here, GOOGLE IT!!!
So get off your high horses and get on with what you all came here to do. IMO no one here should be judging the next.

When he isn't here, its' "Danny, Danny, Danny." Telling Danny jokes, wondering where he is or what he is doing. I really can't say what is more childish - behaving that way or screaming "trolls" just to get reactions. I don't see the other seasoned OP veterans behaving much better.

As for princibles, does Ben mean to suggest that he went to AA all of, what, 5 times, and couldn't figure out that the principles are the steps and traditions? Tell me what your sponsor said they were, Benster!

How did you guess that Clara? It is spot on. I went to AA EXACTLY 5 times longer than you have been there. You must have read that in an old post.

I've read the steps forwards, backwards, up and down, but I can't for the life of me find a SINGLE principle in them. Can you point one out Clara? Just one? A clue : there aren't any principles in the 12 steps. So what are the principles referred to in step 12? And please don't waste everyone's time babbling on about the traditions. They weren't in existence until nearlt 20 years after the steps were written.
