Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: SINSULL Date: 23 Jun 08 - 07:49 PM Call from London counting down the days. Plans afoot for a formal dinner with Colorado wines. 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. |

I will be wrapping my arms around you soon. OOOOOOXXXXXXXXX Love you," :) |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: SINSULL Date: 02 Jul 08 - 09:14 AM Maritime Festival is one month away and all the ducks are in sight if not yet in rows. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. |

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: 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: 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 - 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: 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: 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: Emma B Date: 15 Jul 08 - 06:49 PM A gift of music from a friend. |
|
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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Micca Date: 21 Jul 08 - 12:44 PM Found a book for Sinsull in a second-hand bookstore here in Juneau ...... Called "The Doo-Wop Sing-along songbook"!!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: SINSULL Date: 21 Jul 08 - 02:13 PM Back in the 60s I had a silver M-ring - a Magician's Ring - which I loved and wore all the time. As I got older (and presumably more sophisticated) I put it away until it resurfaced many years later. My son, an amateur magician, coveted it and so I gave it to him. True to form, he lost it. So for about 20 years I have been haunting silver jewelry stalls at fairs and silver jewelry shops in various towns. I have contacted Magician suppliers and even tried to make one myself. I have shown the design to many silversmiths but no one had the time to make a single ring. About a month ago I discovered a place that carried the ring - SOLD OUT! Every day I check their website and am disappointed. Still OUT OF STOCK. Today, they had it and I ordered it - the last one! Now I can't wait until it is delivered. I am so happy. It is rare that I want jewelry. A painfully simple silver ring but I am very happy. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: katlaughing Date: 22 Jul 08 - 12:17 AM I got a wonderful, unexpected call from Alaska and got to talk with KT and Ebbie, too! It sounded as if they and Micca were having a rare ol' time! Made me smile and laugh! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Donuel Date: 22 Jul 08 - 04:58 PM I thought of Ebbie today while watching Sunrise video of Homer Alaska. I wondered if she ever takes the majestic scenery for granted. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Donuel Date: 22 Jul 08 - 05:03 PM Sinsull, Your ring story was great. I too had a ring I commissioned that had a dna twist on the main body and a full moon made of silver with a small creseant of platinum. The silver would slowly tarnish and make the moon look like it was going through its phases. Then I would polish it again. I lost it in a location where several bad things happened like my car dying etc. I don't go there anymore |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: SINSULL Date: 21 Aug 08 - 09:10 AM Took a breath this morning and realized that the festival was over and we did good. Jacqui and I enjoyed it thoroughly as did most of the performers. The audience was happy; the museum people are happy. The only person who wasn't happy was the bride who tried to get us to pay for half of her wedding tent. She was told that her tent was in our way and we could insist that she take it down. LOL So today I am celebrating good friends and good music and taking another deep breath. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: SINSULL Date: 04 Sep 08 - 02:16 PM Our company's profits are tracking at 900% over last year. Looks as if there will be a Christmas Bonus again. Light at the end of the tunnel! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Peace Date: 04 Sep 08 - 02:19 PM Good for you, SINS. I hope it's lotsa bonus. "What made you happy today" Well, the wireless laptop is working, so I can sit at home in my underwear, drink coffee, smoke cigarettes and scratch my unmentionables. It don't get much better'n that. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: jacqui.c Date: 04 Sep 08 - 03:43 PM I got to speak to my husband today on Skype and to see him via the webcam. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Bat Goddess Date: 04 Sep 08 - 04:01 PM Today I solved a computer hassle that's been annoying and getting worse for the past several weeks. The mouse would go into squirrelly mode making it almost impossible to get anything done. Then it wouldn't move at all. Sometimes a reboot would help. Sometimes it made no difference at all. Turned out to be the obvious -- my keyboard is partially fried. Other than one day last week when the whole keyboard refused to work for about a half hour, they keyboard part of the keyboard is currently working okay, but a mouse plugged into it works barely at all. So...since I can't afford a replacement keyboard (G4 USB) right now, I've got pleas out to friends in hope someone has one in their pile of techno crap that I can use/barter for/promise money at a later date. My workaround is working but a bit awkward -- I've got my spare non-Apple mouse with the longer cord (operative term here is "longer cord") plugged into the hub (which is on the wrong side of the computer). So that makes me happy, too -- a workaround that works! I updated my resume this morning and will send it off to a staffing agency I've been working with right after I put the plaintext version together and make sure the line endings don't cause problems. That makes me feel better, too -- first step in the search for another job, one that will (unlike my current job) actually pay a living wage. Oh! My first by-lined article in over 30 years is in NH To Do magazine -- on the stands today! It's not that I haven't been writing for the past 30 years, it's just that I've been anonymously keeping my clients from embarrassing themselves in print. Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: SINSULL Date: 04 Sep 08 - 04:23 PM Clever, Donuel! Peace - that is your second mention of your unmentionables in a matter of days. (See Bruce Murdoch thread). You don't have crabs again, do you? Jacqui sees " so I can sit at home in my underwear, drink coffee, smoke cigarettes and scratch my unmentionables. It don't get much better'n that" and immediately is erminded to call Kendall. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: SINSULL Date: 04 Sep 08 - 04:33 PM Linn, Keyboards are at every yard sale I visit, every Sally Ann and every Goodwill Shop. Go buy one cheap. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: SINSULL Date: 05 Sep 08 - 04:52 PM Just won a $5 gift certificate for Beal's Ice Cream in the weeklyffice drawing. I don't like ice cream but I love winning. SINS |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: DougR Date: 05 Sep 08 - 05:51 PM I heard a report that the CBS poll figures released today showed that McCain and Obama are neck and neck. The poll was taken BEFORE the major speeches at the Republican National Convention last night and one might expect an even more positive report this weekend (positive for my party that is). DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Jeri Date: 05 Sep 08 - 06:35 PM Friends. I know - big deal, but it don't take much! Aside from the basic necessities of life, there isn't anything I can think of more important to me than friends and music. I also got a weed eater/brush cutter yesterday, so once I put it together and buy gas, I can go find the ground surrounding my house. Bruce, I forgot to send you the photo of which I was just reminded: 'Still Life with Underwear and Flyswatter' (Guy has a novel way of drying his unmentionables--not THOSE unmentionables but the ones you buy in a store. Linn needs a Mac keyboard. Otherwise, I have a couple here she gave me that I'd happily give back. I think keyboards for Macs cost about $600.00, but I'm not sure. Now if I could finish this stupid song, I'd be turning handsprings on the front lawn... |
