Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: LilyFestre Date: 25 Mar 05 - 10:50 AM *Joining Jeff in his Happy Dance* Give your wife a big hug for me and tell her CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! I can't begin to imagine how happy that must make the both of you!!! :) Michelle |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 25 Mar 05 - 10:02 AM At first it might seem that today should fall under the "Today Is A Good Day Despite.." category. But for me, today is a good day because it is Good Friday. Even though this is the day that some of us reflect on Christ's dying on the cross, my focus is on the incomprehensible love that was shown by that sacrifice. For me, that makes this one of the best days of the year. Only topped by Easter Sunday. Jerry |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: jeffp Date: 25 Mar 05 - 09:49 AM Today is a GREAT day because we got my wife's scan results back and there is NO SIGN OF ANY TUMORS!!!!!!!!!!!!! (does happy dance) Chemo continues, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. jeffp |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: PoohBear Date: 24 Mar 05 - 06:46 PM I still have a job (even if it's not the one I'd prefer, it is a paycheck). I'm going to a local brew pub with some girlfriends after work for a pint. I just found out that my friend from Canada will be coming down for two weeks to work. I'm alive. My dogs, cat, and 'other half' are all alive and well. PB ps - Michelle, good on you!! One of these days I'll follow your lead and get some exercise too. |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: LilyFestre Date: 24 Mar 05 - 12:17 PM Today is a good day because on my way to school, I stopped several times along the way to take some photos. It snowed 12 inches last night! The air is so crisp and the muffled sounds of the woods is intoxicating...I love that. Michelle |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because......

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: ranger1 Date: 23 Mar 05 - 08:36 AM Jason has to go to work early and I can clean the house without him underfoot!!! My niece sent me a birthday e-mail that I didn't open until today (my birthday was on Monday). It's only 18 days until I get to start work at the park for another season. My best friend who was in a car accident last Friday is uninjured. Lots of reasons why today is a good day! |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: LilyFestre Date: 22 Mar 05 - 06:16 PM I held newborn babies all morning and afternoon!!!!!! I snuggled with them, fed them, burped them, walked them up and down the halls, talked to them, sang to them.....I'm in love. It's official. *big goofy grin* Michelle, aka Tante |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: LilyFestre Date: 22 Mar 05 - 06:55 AM Yesterday was a good day because (sorry..too tired to post yesterday!) Salem Willow and Collin Hunter made their grand entrance into the world! Both babies and Mommy are absolutely WONDERFUL, FABULOUS, STUPENDOUS and downright BEAUTIFUL! Amazing, truly amazing. Tante |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: LilyFestre Date: 20 Mar 05 - 07:49 AM Today is a good day because it is a day that has been anticipated for nearly 9 months. My long time friend is pregnant with twins and this evening, her labor will be induced. I am honored to say that I have been included every step of the way and I will be there to see Salem Willow and Collin Hunter enter the world. :) Michelle |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 19 Mar 05 - 10:55 PM Let's see... We were looking forward to tomorrow all week as we did a ton of cooking... a turkey, collard greens, stuffing, chili, lasagna, with other vegetables and salad, looking forward to having one of our nieces and nephews and their kids coming up for the day, starting out with joining us at church, where Joe, Frankie and I will be singing with the Men's Chorus. And then, we'd be joined at the house by one of our son's, a grandson and our daughter. Tonight, we got a call that our niece is sick and they can't come, and our daughter hurt her leg in a fall and couldn't make it. That means that we have a whole turkey, two large trays of lasagna, enough chili to feed fifty, a big pot of collard greens, another of stuffing.. So, why is today a good day? Because it's a day I never saw before, and it was very joyful, preparing for tomorrow. The disappointment of not having a family gathering tomorrow can't take away the enjoyment of today. And God knows. We'll have plenty to eat, tomorrow... :-) Jerry |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: LilyFestre Date: 19 Mar 05 - 10:42 PM Today is a good day because I did some organizing, took a nap and finished a really good book. The house is quiet except for the sound of my husband sleeping and the dryer softly tumbling in the background. I am feeling (and enjoying) a minute of peace. Michelle |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: Fibula Mattock Date: 14 Mar 05 - 05:27 AM Today is not really a good day. Thursday was a good day because it started bad and ended with me falling head over heels for someone unexpected and lovely. I am smitten. But today is not particularly a good day, because although I was supposed to spend it with this guy, he's backing off as there's someone he's been worshipping from afar for a while and it's all confusing for him. So I'll worship him from afar and console myself with the fact that there is life after the worst break up ever (3 years ago, yeah, I know, 'bout time I moved on properly!), and so today is sort-of a good day as I've realised that the light at the end of the tunnel is not the light of an oncoming train. |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: Catherine Jayne Date: 13 Mar 05 - 09:32 AM My fiance met my parents this weekend...and they got on together! and we have just arrived safely home. |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: mg Date: 12 Mar 05 - 10:10 PM I got the morning off from work and my car got fixed for almost $200 less than I expected, which leaves money for my Reno trip..and I think I have very good cholesterol (166)and I qualify for a home loan after a financial dismemberment I thought I would never recover from. Plus we had summer today..too hot in shirtsleeves...not good in long run..definite drought..but still..blue sky in March??? mg |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: ranger1 Date: 11 Mar 05 - 05:23 PM I just found out that my family is buying me a ticket to WA so that I can escort my gramma to my mum's. I haven't seen my mum for a year, and my gramma almost died after having what was supposed to be low-risk surgury, so right now I feel like I'm having my cake and eating, too, today. |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: Layah Date: 23 Feb 05 - 09:31 AM Okay Jerry, I'd be glad to have your snow, send it right over. Today is a good day because there's still snow! Even if it is now all melty and slushy and brown. And it even snowed a bit! Maybe it will snow more... |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: Crystal Date: 23 Feb 05 - 04:49 AM Today is a good day because it is one day closer to IVFDF this weekend and I'm printing off requested songs in order to assist the coach trouble makers! |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Feb 05 - 08:34 PM Today is a good day because Clinton Hammond and his wife did not get killed or seriously injured in their car crash!

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: Layah Date: 22 Feb 05 - 07:42 PM Today is a good day because it snowed! And it stuck! And I got to have a snowball fight. This is the fourth time I've ever seen it snow. And the last three of those times were in the past three months. I'm very excited. I hope it keeps snowing and there's still snow to play with tomorrow. |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: GUEST,bflat Date: 22 Feb 05 - 05:21 PM My son-in-law became a citizen of the United States of America, this morning. He was born in Columbia, S.A. He has known hardship and deep personal loss with the death of his brother in a random shooting. Here he got an education, he is a scientist and working on his doctorate at Columbia University while doing research at the university. He worked very, very hard to earn his undergraduate degrees,two from Rutgers. He is a good man and the father of two of my grandchildren. I honor him for his work and family ethic. While he is the sterotypical latin male in some areas, he is also funny. You have got to love a man who has a sense of humor. And,to think he has developed one in two languages and two cultures. Congratualtions, John William!!! Mom/Ellen |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: saulgoldie Date: 22 Feb 05 - 02:39 PM Oh, goody! My first centennial! This day just keeps getting better! Maybe one of my workmates will break into song, and we can harmonize. Hey, could happen! |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: saulgoldie Date: 22 Feb 05 - 02:38 PM Oh, ME!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: saulgoldie Date: 22 Feb 05 - 02:37 PM Oh, nevermind. Duh! |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: saulgoldie Date: 22 Feb 05 - 02:37 PM I lived through my test in Spanish class. I may yet become a speaker. Hey, how do youse guys know when a thread is on the verge of a centennial? |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 22 Feb 05 - 01:16 PM Today is a good day because I woke up to a beautiful blue sky and a beautiful wife lying next to me. We did our monthly program at the nursing home and got people singing. That's always a blessing. At the end, one woman said she "felt good all over." Doesn't get much better than that, although tonight when I have practice with the Messengers it just might. Get a chance to play two new songs I've written for them. And, it isn't even snowing. Yet. Jerry |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: LilyFestre Date: 22 Feb 05 - 11:50 AM Today is a good day because my husband is sleeping peacefully after being sick all night. Michelle PS. Glad you are feeling more like yourself Susan! :) |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: wysiwyg Date: 22 Feb 05 - 11:04 AM Today is a good day because yesterday-- and I could feel it happening-- the antiviral meds I am on kicked the stuffing out of the shingles I came down with. Not a cure but a serious ass-kicking. I'll still rest when I need to, but I feel like I am actually IN this day and I MIGHT get a thing (or even two) actually done! ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: Catherine Jayne Date: 22 Feb 05 - 07:57 AM Today is a good day because I have arranged the day to go back to work. My knee is healing fine and I can get around without my crutches now!!! The wedding and handfasting plans are coming along nicely. |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: Crystal Date: 22 Feb 05 - 07:47 AM Today is good because I feel all happy and positive (I've been kind of depressed reciently!) and I'm looking for songs to terrorise a bus full of unfortunates with. |
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: Layah Date: 22 Feb 05 - 07:27 AM Today is a good day because I feel good and decided it would be. Even though all the snow melted and it's raining and/or hailing. But I got to sleep in, which heals all wounds (or all wounds caused by lack of sleep). |
