I need to hear some good news stories to cheer me up, so what good news do you have?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You're well-loved on PF *virtual hug* !
 
Thanks Wolram. I needed a place to put this and you have provided it.

I and the family went to Maine this long Thanksgiving weekend. We were greeted by Turbo-1 when we got there. We only saw the coastal area which is spectacular. The beaches are fine to look at and probably are good for swimming in the summer. I recommend the town of York in particular, but there are other beaches as well. The weather was surprisingly warm, but it rained all day Friday and all day today as we wended our way back home. We got as far north as Bar Harbor which is a kind of resort, but was closed for the season. It was something of a disappointment that we were unable to see Acadia National Park as it was closed for the season as well. The lobsters are sweet, delicious, and cheap. A good time was had by all.
 
i managed to give away my last two kittens today. seems no one wants the male ones (afraid of spraying), but i a guy with lots of land wanted them, and they'll be able to take shelter from the weather in his basement, so all is good.
 
I have been deemed fully disabled by Social Security, after years of not being able to earn a living. For someone that has worked full-time (as much as possible - summers and all vacations) from the age of 14, it has been crushing to have relied on my wife's income only, the last few years.

I would rather work, but if I can pull back some of the $$$$$ that I have paid over the decades to get a little income, that's good.
 
Thanks Lisab, a hug is worth a thousand words :biggrin: Jimmy it must have been an experience meeting Turbo, did he feed you?
 
I got a blowy the other night
 
I woke up this morning.

On time.

Something About Mary[/url] is a movie. But no, that's not the story. It's much more down to earth. I'm a collector. Some are collecting stamps, others are collecting money. I'm collecting thank-you's for some reason, so it's good news gettimg another one.

My cat can now eat something besides Friskies Shredded Beef. She had a bad food allergy but seems to be outgrowing it.

The Dane Cook sign, I'm more for, it's better than having the shocker on the back of your car :) What does it mean though, or do I want to know? Or is it the same thing, but using different fingers?

Yeah, so as you drive by all the old people, they will sit and ponder what the symbol means, lol. :biggrin: Wouldn't it be so funny, if they then went to their grandkids and did the same sign, and asked what it meant :!)

LMFAO! could you imagine that? i don't know what id do if my grand mother came up to me and asked what the shocker was. i could never lie to her but i can't tell her what it is either.

Oh I would laugh so hard, I would probably die, or turn super red, because I would feel compelled to tell her. How embarassing would that be...lol, and yet so funny! :smile:

despite my foul mouth, provocative language and behavior and straight up douchbaggery, i think my mother would smash me in the side of the head with the frying pan if i explained the shocker to my grand mother. although, my grand mother did have six kids so she might already know what it means :eek:

imagine, youre grand mother schoolin you about the shocker, slang and other sexual innuendo? that would be twilight zone statusssss :smile:
