Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Liz the Squeak Date: 01 Jun 08 - 04:20 PM I was made happy today with a fabulous 2hour lunch with an extremely handsome (nay, gorgeous) gentleman, a bottle of MontePulciano and a steak that was actually cooked to perfection - rare to medium - rather than the usual medium to well done boot leather usually presented. But mostly the company. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: GUEST,rock chick Date: 01 Jun 08 - 04:53 PM well the days almost over and i am still looking for something to make me happy!! still have 2 hours left so who knows |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: kendall Date: 02 Jun 08 - 07:16 AM Mary, what Jacqui gave me for my birthday does not require a permit in Maine. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: SINSULL Date: 02 Jun 08 - 08:25 AM You mean Jacqui has been lying to me about it? Even i can get one? Spent the weekend running around and finally gardening, sort of. My neighbors took pity on me and helpd with raking up the soil, spreading this green fiberglass-like stuff with seeds in it and watering. Doesn't look like the picture on the box but... Call from Micca last night - he is planning a formal dinner at my house in August. I love formal dinners as long as some one else cooks it especially in August. my only concern - when Micca is through cooking, the litchen looks like a tornado hit. Small price to pay... |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: fat B****rd Date: 02 Jun 08 - 09:18 AM I put up a bathroom cabinet without smashing the tiles and without nearing the brink of divorce with the foreperson. |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: jacqui.c Date: 02 Jun 08 - 11:16 AM Mary - It's not that you need a permit, it's just the idea of you running around with one without adult supervision............ |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: katlaughing Date: 02 Jun 08 - 12:39 PM What's that, Jacqui? A banjo player? |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Catherine Jayne Date: 08 Jun 08 - 01:05 PM We went to the Colchester Oyster Fayre today and had a fantastic time walking round the market, watching sword fighting, archery and falconry. Got to catch up with lots of friends and had a lovely picnic by the duck pond. It was a tad muddy round the craft market but it didn't ruin the day. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Liz the Squeak Date: 08 Jun 08 - 02:43 PM I completed a 6 mile sponsored walk in aid of Cancer Research UK this afternoon... a pleasant afternoon in the sunshine, with some good friends and an icecream.

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: jacqui.c Date: 08 Jun 08 - 04:24 PM Good one Liz! We managed to pick up a brand new Portapotty for the trailer for $2 at a yard sale. If we'd bought it in a shop it would have cost close to $90. This was after getting a beautiful year old sofa bed at a yard sale yesterday for $50 - the sellers had changed the decor and this didn't match! |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: Catherine Jayne Date: 16 Jun 08 - 03:34 AM Just got back from a wonderful weekend in not so sunny Scarborough and spent some quality time with my Grandma. Harry had a fantastic time with his Great Grandma and her littl dog. Grandma gave me lots of photos including a copy of her wedding photo from 1955 so we can do a photo family tree for the children so that names have faces. Our new sofa has been delivered....well picked up! The sun is shining and it's a good day. |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: SINSULL Date: 16 Jun 08 - 08:27 AM I just called Captain and Mrs. Morse and Kendall answered the phone. A voice - a bit raspy but a voice. Made me very happy. |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: LilyFestre Date: 21 Jun 08 - 08:30 AM Well, it was really yesterday afternoon but...RidgePlucker and I went for a ride in the woods. He stopped to check out a fishing spot and I picked wild strawberries while thunder rumbled over a faraway hill. It didn't take long before the thunder was very near and we continued on our journey. Feeding freshly picked wild strawberries to my honey made me very happy!!! :) Michelle |
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: jacqui.c Date: 21 Jun 08 - 11:40 AM What a wonderful picture Kat! I was happy today - I picked up SINSULL's Christmas present. Hehehehehehehehehe................ |

Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today From: LilyFestre Date: 21 Jun 08 - 04:04 PM Putting up strawberries for the winter. I made quite a bit of jam (plenty for us and lots to share) and froze several packs for winter oatmeal/muffins/pancakes, etc. I feel wonderful! Michelle |

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 |

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: 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: 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. |
