Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: SINSULL Date: 21 Jul 08 - 12:18 PM What's a Conkeror? Or should I ask? Saw Brett for the first time in five years. I miss the old guy! |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Joe_F Date: 15 Jul 08 - 08:31 PM Succeeded in understanding & following some of the advice from a mailinglist on how to customize my Conkeror, removing a couple of continual irritations. |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: SINSULL Date: 15 Jul 08 - 08:29 PM See the tree, how big it's grown But friends it hasn't been too long Since it wasn't big RAAAAWFFFFFFFF And Honey I miss you But I'm being GO-oo-ooood And I long to be with you If only I could. I wonder how much money we could raise for Laurel betting that Peace will not sing it beginning to end in public???? With Big Mick???? LOL THe last time I started something like this,Max spent months trying to come up with an acceptable version of "THe Bird In The Guilded Cage" to perform on the radio. He never did. |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Jeri Date: 15 Jul 08 - 07:17 PM Oops - my bad. He wanted the lyrics to Honey, not the ones to the 60s, 70s and whatevertheyares. |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Jeri Date: 15 Jul 08 - 07:09 PM Hey Baruuuuuce: Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) Mickey Newburry???!!! I thought Kenny Rogers wrote it! |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Emma B Date: 15 Jul 08 - 07:02 PM Peace, tha's askin' fer a clout :) |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Peace Date: 15 Jul 08 - 06:58 PM To be serious for a sec, I was really happy to see the support folks here are giving to Laurel. This place is the craziest mixture of stuff I have ever seen. (Except for one three-year period in the 1960s, a four-year stretch in the 1970s, that time from 1983-97 in the whatevertheyares, and I just noticed the lady said smacked not slapped.) PLEASE POST THE LYRICS, |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Peace Date: 15 Jul 08 - 06:54 PM "The first one to burst into The Honey Song gets smacked." Would someone send me the lyrics? That slapping bit grabs my attention because usually I have to pay for that. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: mg Date: 15 Jul 08 - 06:42 PM I read something in the Andrew Sullivan blog..someone said the war in Iraq was over..and won even. I am sure many would totally disagree but nevertheless I was astoundingly happy at even the possibility it could be true or coming in the future. mg |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: jacqui.c Date: 04 Jul 08 - 10:00 AM I just picked up a load of nice yarn at a yard sale for $5. The sun is shining and I just made someone's day by finding their cell phone on the beach and getting it back to them. |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Liz the Squeak Date: 03 Jul 08 - 04:54 PM I worked out why the new MP3 wasn't working and now it's sitting happily loading 12 hours of music into its little innards. I'm a happier little bunny now! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Jim Dixon Date: 03 Jul 08 - 01:55 AM My boss didn't show up for work today. She was due to be back from vacation, and she didn't show up, and didn't call in. Can't think what it might mean. Maybe she's dead. Maybe she got another job. Maybe she decided to take early retirement. Maybe she finally realized we can get along just fine without her. Maybe HER boss told her not to bother coming back. All of these possiblities make me smile. |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Liz the Squeak Date: 03 Jul 08 - 01:10 AM Finding a new MP3 player for less than £20 (it was reduced from nearer £40) yesterday. What made me crabby was finding that the wretched thing won't start... so it's going back to the shop today. Still, I got a lovely daffodil yellow top as well..... LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Jeri Date: 02 Jul 08 - 10:20 AM In the 'It Don't Take Much' department: talking to a friend on the phone last night, imagining my cheapie (gas not included) vacation to Canada. THEN I get to think about the Portland Maritime Festival. Can't be no funner'n that! A long summer road and friends & music all along the way. |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: jacqui.c Date: 02 Jul 08 - 10:01 AM My mosquito bites have gone down to just itching, rather than being painful. BLISS!!!!! |

And - though cheated out of premiums and health coverage, I have received a check for $1100+ today as a settlement of a class action lawsuit I never knew existed. Life is good. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 22 Jun 08 - 07:43 AM As long as I can wake up, look out the window and see grass, I'm happy. I figure that as long as I can see the grass, I must still be on the right side of it. |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Catherine Jayne Date: 22 Jun 08 - 07:01 AM Last night actually, but we went on the Kent and East Sussex Railway and had a fantastic meal in a wonderful setting with excellent service. The train was made up of Pullman carriages pulled by a steam engine. Our carriage was originally built in 1926 and was stunning with gorgeous wood inlays and big comfy armchairs. The weather stayed dry and the sunset was gorgeous. A very romantic evening and setting. Today...still moving into the new house. Smiles from my little one and snuggles from the cat! |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: GUEST,Mr Boxingenthusiast Date: 22 Jun 08 - 01:17 AM watching on TV late tonight a cocky young UK boxing superstar taking a sucker punch that could so nearly have ended his over-inflated world title career aspirations in a moment of arogant carelessness.. but then seeing him stand upright again and fight through to win, but with a sense that this sudden painful shock might be the reality check he needs on the road to maturity as a world class sportsman. good luck Amir. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: SINSULL Date: 21 Jun 08 - 07:12 PM Yesterday, I met with the Maine endocrinologist and wasn't sure where we going or what to expect. All good news: No cancer - he is quite sure. No more biospies - likely ever. My meds needed increasing so a blood test in six weeks and then in six months and then yearly. A far cry from biopsies twice a year and the stress of waiting for results. I was beginning to feel like a pincushion. Eye tests also show no cataracts or glycoma. So - today I allowed myself a day of complete rest - sci-fi, naps, and no phone. Life is very good. SINS |
