A feel-good thread?

I just wnat something positive for a change.

In the past few days, whenever I found the time to have a look at NSG, it was americans yelling at Europeans to start "taking action" about whatever, Europeans yelling at Americans to stop blind action, people getting worked up about the Middle East and the Tour de France. Business as usual, I know, but for whatever reason it starts to depress me.

The final straw just now was the thread about submissivenes, in real life not just in role play. It simply made me feel sick (nothing personal, Smunkee, but it just did.)

Does anybody have anything to say or to show to cheer people up for a change?

I prefer Campari with some soda water and a slice of lime.

Putting orange juice in it is a little too much.

I was just really happy for you and you having such a great attitude and it was great hearing about your confidence in your appearance, and it also helped me feel slightly more comfortable with yourself. So well done for bringing some positivity to my day :) :fluffle:

You also inspired me, with talk of Hob Nobs, in some thread, to go buy some and they were yummy :p

And have some fluffles for just generally being a lovely person :) :fluffle: :fluffle:

4. Turn all the radios to a polka station, then turn them all off and turn the volumes to 10.
5. Challenge other customers to a duel with tubes of gift wrap.
6. Put m&m's on layaway
7. Move "CAUTION WET FLOOR" signs to carpet areas.
8. Set up a tent in the camping department; tell others you'll only invite them if they bring pillows from the bedding department.
9. When someone asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask "Why won't you people leave me alone?"
10. Look right into the security camera and use it as a mirror while you pick your nose.
11. Take up an entire aisle in toys by setting up a full scale battlefield with G.I. Joe and the X-Men.

16. Set up a "Valet Parking" sign out front.
17. In the auto department, practice your Madonna look using different size funnels.

19. When an announcement comes over the loud speaker assume the fetal position and scream "NO! NO! It's those voices again".
20. Go to the food court, get a soft drink, tell them you don't get out much and would they put one of those little umbrellas in it.

I just tried to Google this up but got sidetracked because of that weird humor I have (which Im not always so proud of but still makes me laugh) when I found a "Dr. Stephen Hawking Action Figure"
Priceless, man! Priceless!!!

My baby sister came home from 3 weeks in Vietnam a few days ago. In a few more days my other sister will come home from 3 weeks in Ohio. My life has been incredibly empty without them. (My postcount went up by at least 1,000 in the 3 weeks they were gone.) I am so happy they are home.

Any my baby sister brought me back a cell phone chain thing of a vietnamese woman. Normally i despise all sorts of trinkets dangling from a phone, but i love this. I always have my cell with me, so with this gift from her, I always have her with me, in a way, too.

Plus, I have the house to myself while they are gone. Not that I plan on doing anything, but its nice to have solitude occassionally.

Yeah, people buy me trinkets for my cell phone, but I've learned they don't last long on it, so I put them on things like my Remotes, Fanny Packs and other places that dangle but don't go into my pocket. Gotta admit, putting them on the remotes made em sooo much easier to find!

Well, the one in Ohio has been taking care of our sick gran, so stories should not be too exciting. Baby sister has already told lots of good stories about Vietnam. I'm so jealous of her!

April Fool's joke sparks strip poker championship
Fri Jul 28, 10:12 AM ET

DUBLIN (Reuters) - It started as an April Fool's joke but an Irish bookmaker's proposal to hold the world's biggest strip poker contest will become reality next month.

Paddy Power floated the idea as a joke but it generated so much interest -- and hundreds of requests to take part -- that the Dublin-based company decided to organize a contest.

So next month, 200 poker buffs will risk baring all in an attempt to become the first World Strip Poker Champion -- and earn a place in the Guinness Book of Records.

The winner will also receive a "Golden Fig Leaf" trophy plus 10,000 pounds ($18,630) in cash.

"This will be the most fun you can have with your clothes on -- or off!" Paddy Power said in a statement for the tournament, which will be held in London on August 19.

Its okay. She is old. She has lived a very good, long life, and now in her old age has her husband and granddaughter to take care of her, plus her children who also live in Ohio. She won't get better, (she has alzhiemers) but that is life. THere are far worse things that could be happening.

Hope I didn't bring too much unhappiness into your thread, Cabra.

What a pleasant thread, Cabra! :)
I take it that by now you're feeling a lot better, but just to be safe: :fluffle:


21 interesting things you can do in a store that wont hurt anybody

1. Set all the alarm clocks to go off at 10 minute intervals
2. Make a trail of orange juice on the floor to the restrooms.
3. Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an official tone,"I think we have a code 3 in housewares" and see what happens.
4. Turn all the radios to a polka station, then turn them all off and turn the volumes to 10.
5. Challenge other customers to a duel with tubes of gift wrap.
6. Put m&m's on layaway
7. Move "CAUTION WET FLOOR" signs to carpet areas.
8. Set up a tent in the camping department; tell others you'll only invite them if they bring pillows from the bedding department.
9. When someone asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask "Why won't you people leave me alone?"
10. Look right into the security camera and use it as a mirror while you pick your nose.
11. Take up an entire aisle in toys by setting up a full scale battlefield with G.I. Joe and the X-Men.
12. Ask other customers if they have any Grey Poupon.
13. While handling guns in the hunting department ask the clerk if he knows where the anti-depressants are.
14. Switch signs on the men's and women's bathrooms.
15. Dart around suspiciously while humming the theme from "Mission Impossible".
16. Set up a "Valet Parking" sign out front.
17. In the auto department, practice your Madonna look using different size funnels.
18. Hide in the clothing rack and when people browse through say "PICK ME! PICK ME!".
19. When an announcement comes over the loud speaker assume the fetal position and scream "NO! NO! It's those voices again".
20. Go to the food court, get a soft drink, tell them you don't get out much and would they put one of those little umbrellas in it.
21. Go into the fitting room and yell real loud...."Hey we're out of toilet paper in here!"

Hee. I often find lists like that more unfunny than funny, but I loved that one. This one completely cracked me up: 18. Hide in the clothing rack and when people browse through say "PICK ME! PICK ME!". Awesome. :p

I just wnat something positive for a change.

In the past few days, whenever I found the time to have a look at NSG, it was americans yelling at Europeans to start "taking action" about whatever, Europeans yelling at Americans to stop blind action, people getting worked up about the Middle East and the Tour de France. Business as usual, I know, but for whatever reason it starts to depress me.

The final straw just now was the thread about submissivenes, in real life not just in role play. It simply made me feel sick (nothing personal, Smunkee, but it just did.)

Does anybody have anything to say or to show to cheer people up for a change?

:(
