CrosshairCollie Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread While my brother is not my favorite person on the face of the planet, he recently had to go to a cardiologist to check on some suspected blockage in his arteries and/or heart. My mother called me and let me know he's got a clean bill of health, at least in that department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John T Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Yaaayyy! I got my favorite avatar back! Got eaten by a hard-drive crash a while back, but a friend had it saved on his website hosting. Not that it was hard to make in the first place, I just didn't want to go to the hassle.

tkdguy Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Yesterday, I got my straight razor shave (actually a royal shave and haircut) and went to a wine tasting after that. I bought a really nice bottle of Merlot. Today, I had a couple of glasses of absinthe after work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Last night was the Last Night of the Proms, the one day of the year when we can feel unashamedly patriotic and there is no comeback on it. It always finishes with Land of Hope and Glory, Rule Britannia and Jerusalem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narf the Mouse Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread After running away from the sounds of home renovation, my brother's cat has been found, hiding in the back storage room. She sounds scared, angry and hungry, but not hurt or trapped. We left food and water for her; hopefully, she'll get used to us again.

teh bunneh Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread So my wife and I were walking down the sidewalk, heading to the mailboxes. There was a rustle in a bush ahead of us and I glanced over. I thought it was a cat or something. Suddenly, a bird bursts out of the bush... pursued by a hawk! This hawk swoops past us, chasing the bird! Amazing. Sadly, the bird got away. The hawk landed on a nearby rooftop and scowled angrily at us.

Old Man Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Got home pretty late from a crummy day at work. Kids were still up even though it was past their bedtime. We built an awesome fort out of paper towel rolls, stuffed animals, and a blanket. One of them fell asleep in there. It's been so long since I was that age. I had almost forgotten what it was like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread If you have enough of them, you can do spiffy falling-domino-chain things with those little stiffboard-bound books for beginning readers. I once baby-sat a kid who had a pile of those as tall as she was. I gather her folks were not really amused when she demonstrated the new use for those after I baby-sat her, though.

Of course there aren't too many heavy books anymore.... We have lots of heavy books, actually. Aside from my own, the older boy's obsessions with sharks and dinosaurs have felled many trees. But these bales of individually wrapped paper towels you get at Costco are fantastic for building with. The only thing that would make them better is if they could bear a kid's weight. This morning they were building cities and castles with the paper towels and laying into them with their nerf battle-axes. Would have been cuter if it weren't six thirty in the morning, but still pretty cool. It's not always this awesome with little kids in the house--not hardly. But they are the reason I am able to put up with the other areas of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireTiger Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread A few weeks ago I found a walking stick insect on one of my window screens. First time I've seen one "in the wild."

SatinKitty Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread After God knows how long of being exhausted all the time, I finally got good sleep after 4:00 am this morning. It's great not to feel like I haven't slept in a week for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
