Rainbows belong to everyone!

TV has never been this good!

Sunsets and sunrises are often glorious!

Books are within almost everyone's reach!

Orgasms exist!

Rivers in America have never been cleaner since before industrialization!

Someone discovered peanut butter and jelly go well together!

Our dogs love us no matter what!

Every baby born is a hope for the future!

I've got no commitments scheduled today, I'm drinking a bourbon in my robe before noon and listening to music. Life is good at the moment.

Smoking a bowl, drinking a cold tea, and listening to some Good Times by Chic.  :smile:

Sitting here typing, my pics for my book are ready and I am doing a final polish on my book. There aren't any Polish people to help here in Pretoria so I guess I have to do the polish myself.  :wink:

Listening to The War of The Worlds (1977) on my headphones.

That apart, I am a bit cold sitting here (8:16 pm) and I am going to bed soon with a few turtles and a cup of coffee.

Love you all.  :smile:

Even though I don't shell out my hard-earned money for overpriced ice cream treats, it's still a happy occurrence when the ice cream truck comes down the street playing a happy tune, bringing yummy treats to happy kids.  I still love the Choco Tacos and Drumsticks (Cornettos in UK).

Did you ever manage to get a date with the women who kept cancelling and rescheduling?

Yes! 2 dates, in fact, and the second was much less of a hassle than the first.

^ Were you drinking in your robe?  :wink:

my bestie got dragged out of the house to play a gig with the sisters of pain, YAY!  :cheers: :bouncegiggle: :hot: :hot:

Heading home today!

Home with my family. Long odds there.

Bum is now fresh and clean for once 😳😉🐢

Even if I never do make the New York Times bestseller list, there are thousands of copies of my books in print now and people will still be able to read them long after I'm gone - which is a kind of earthly immortality!

The colony of ants I like to go observe is prospering even better this summer.

Saw my first butterfly of the year.
Woke up without hip pain for once...

For a silver lining happy thought, I think the pandemic may have prevented World War Three. I truly do. Things were more volatile than I have come to see people at home apparently knew, and then the pandemic began and everything changed. It was terrifying for a couple weeks at the beginning of 2020, and even veteran military were saying, "This is the real deal." Suddenly priorities shifted and everyone got pulled back. It was so dramatic that one former co-worker of mine, intelligent, not normally into conspiracies, believes it's possible Covid was all about defusing what was going on. I won't say he is right but it says something about the timing and the effects that someone like him would entertain the idea. But whatever is true, I do think Covid may have prevented a major war.

I drove on a road today that I haven't been on since I was a child. I was wondering why the road looked familiar and then I realized.  :smile:

That's fascinating.

My latest novel is humming along towards its conclusion.

Off to drive my youngest far into the verdant countryside for her long-faced assassin horseback riding, and it's just possible we might stop off at a farmers' market on the way back and surprise ourselves with some random nice item or two like honey with the comb inside, or an Appalachian shrunken apple doll. Never know!

Life is good.

You should get over your fear by organising a ride along the Appalachian trail next summer.

With who?

I FINISHED MY BOOK THIS MORNING!!!

Iran, with other nations likely to be pulled in. The US funneled troops into Turkey, IAFB was on highest alert, one morning everyone's phones, laptops, tablets were all confiscated, people were told they could have a brief call to their families and then communications were shut down. The feeling was Iranian retaliatory missiles were going to hit IAFB as they already had lesser targets in Turkey, including US installations, which according to treaties and NATO's charter would have been an act of war and officially treated like an attack on the US, requiring a military response. Things were a mess, soldiers were being deployed into the desert and forward outposts were being built and people whose jobs had nothing to do with military operations were sent in with them. Turkey was angry about being pulled in and did not seem willing to support the US, maybe even opposed it. Turkish soldiers surrounded one US outpost, I know that. ,During all this the Trump administration was proving itself woefully inadequate to the situation, chaos everywhere, mismanagement that coukd only be called amateurish, and apparently in the US this was little reported. COVID forced nations to respond to it and defused what was looking dire.

^ If you say so.
I don't think covid or war is a "happy thought".
"Gee- I'm so glad folks died from Covid 19 and not in a war."
Don't worry! We still got war!  :thumbup:
Unless we luck out and have another viral pandemic!

Someday the IRS won't exist.

Purring kitty.  Always so heart-melting.

Paid all my bills this morning!  :thumbup:

The fur between my dog's toes feels like velvet.

The will has been confirmed. I can now go ahead and sort out selling the house and getting the money moved out of my aunt Gina's accounts and into my sisters.

I am now a civilian.

^Grats!  :thumbup:

I find I can get a lot done if I break each day down into forty-eight half hours, and consistently use even half-hour blocks to accomplish something. The key, I think, is in keeping up with the commitments I made for those half-hour blocks.

We survive every moment of our lives but one. (Still dazzles me.)

i'm happy that i don't have to get up in 4 hours to go with curtis to the insurance and tag office! and even happier that he spoils me!

My son cooked chicken on the grill last night.  :smile:

The satisfaction that comes from realizing over-opinionated know it alls are insecure people trying to self-validate. Me, I'm mistake-prone, know humblingly little, and readily admit it.

It occurred to me today that since I have a job sorted I can deactivate my LinkedIn account (not that I ever put more than about 5 minutes work into it).

Nearly everyone who knows me likes me.
And, after nearly 40 years of marriage, my wife still thinks I'm kind of cool.

Cooler and stormier today, much to my rapture! (Yes, this is a happy thought.)

I got new undies.  :teddyr:

Yeah, like I believe that.

All true, I swear.  :wink:

Hmmm, on one hand you never lie, on the other hand there's the weight of decades of precedent to the contrary. Something is wrong somewhere....

I buy new socks, a few T shirts and new undies every three months: today is that day.

Summer (aka  :hot:) is half over!

Food-related happiness:
The thought of a glass of ice cold Coke being poured makes me happy.

Catching/eating the stringy cheese that dangles from a cheesy slice of pizza is a delightful struggle.

The thought of cheesesteak sandwiches/Phillys always puts me in a good mood.

My grandkids Aiden and Theo went to a Monster Truck Show in Hartford Michigan (about 15 mile from here) at the dirt track with me son Jed and his sweetie Tanya. They invited me but it was 87 degrees on a racetrack. Hotter than a whore on dollar night. And muggy. They came home early.
They're here now.  :smile:

Dude, you just gave my taste buds a tingle!!

i went for my first ride in the new cah yesterday morning. 100 degrees already, and we were cool as cukes in the car, it's lovely!  :cheers:

It's sixteen degrees cooler today than it was yesterday.

Our national women's soccer team made it through to the knockout stages of the world cup  :cheers: :cheers:

I am a pensioner. It just makes me smile.

Thembi Kgatlana plays for the local women's team here in Louisville.  :thumbup:

Cool  :cheers:

So happy to be home after almost 2 weeks of being displaced from a fuse box fire.  So happy it wasn’t worse and no one was hurt.  So happy my sister had a vacant apartment for us to stay in while the city dragged their feet and took 8 days to inspect to allow us back in our house after the fuse box was replaced.  So happy I don’t have gestational diabetes.  And so happy the weather is going to be low 80s or below for at least the next week while our AC gets checked.  The last 2 weeks have been tough, but grateful there’s still so much to be happy about.

I am glad you are all ok.

Seconding what was said about you and yours being all right, and I'm glad to hear you are back home.

Are you expecting again? If so, congratulations!  :cheers:

I get happy when major household projects get done.  Almost finished re-painting the fence and shed.  Just got a bunch of new rails, posts and boards put in.  Replaced and sealed a bad board in the deck.  Ordered a new bed frame and mattress for the guest room for real cheap.

Yes, but this time I have the added twist of identical twins.  Doctors are bombarding me with all the things that could go wrong with twins so every test I pass feels like a major victory.  I’ve got 7 weeks to go and I’m hoping all three of us make it.  One of the girls is under the 10th percentile in size and needs to be checked weekly, but so far no issues with development. 

I remember telling Indy once that identical twins are weird and I stand by that.  I don’t think this will ever not be weird to me, but I like weird  :smile:.

Congratulations.  :cheers: :thumbup:

Congrats on joining the "Mothers of Twins" club - as our Hunt County chapter likes to brag: "The only club in which God chooses the members!" 
Best wishes for a safe delivery of healthy babies . . . and then, to quote Samuel L. Jackson:  "Hold on to your butts!!"
It's gonna be a heckuva ride.

Not one person on this board, not a single one, was aboard that mini-sub that imploded this summer.

My Son-in-law Joseph found his best arrowhead ever today.  he was VERY happy!

I'm still alive.

If you go out at just the right time of morning and look at just the right angle, dewdrops become beautiful prisms.  :smile:

With time nothing will matter. Maybe that's a sad thought but in a way I take happy comfort in it.

Saw my first butterfly this year, big & black.....

i only have 3 things on my sunday to-do list, and curtis only has 2! yay!  :cheers:

After weeks of heat wave, 115 heat index highs, it's cooled down to the low eighties, not bad for southern Ohio in August, and yesterday morning and this morning it was downright chilly.

Winter is Coming!

^ That's weird. I live just some north of you, and it's just been raining. Right before it rains its awful muggy. Michigan. Lakes and all. But we aint got what out west and down south are getting. It's been mellow here.
You folks are baking like bacon!
Indiana (I used to live), Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois- we catch the same weather systyms- depending which way the wind blows.
EDIT- wow. I was just sitting here and hearing nothing from outside. This is really a quit town tonight. Birds. It just got done raining. The sun is shining threw this big floor to ceiling window in my computer room. It's beautiful.
(Yes, I'm smoking pot)

Heading off on holiday in half an hour.

It's been a long but good day.  The school year is off to a fine start, and even today's faculty meeting was enjoyable!

voting starts on the 5th for baby sister in the horror makeup contest, and i think she might just win because of all the people we know who are sharing her post!  :cheers:

Few scenarios are devoid of at least some upside, even insomnia, which makes you appreciate a good night's sleep.

Know what'd get big ratings during the writers' strike? In prime time: The Exorcism of Ozzy Osbourne.

It's a soft rainy day with mild temps, cloudy skies, a pleasant breeze, peace seems prevalent everywhere on so slow and laid back a day, and with his own hard-earned money my son bought us a pack of Reese's Pieces to split in the car driving home from seeing a lecture about autumn star gazing in our area. Life is good....

Nobody much wears toe rings anymore.  :smile:

Truly, our weather has been so pretty the last week it's been almost....dare I say perfect? It makes everything in life that much happier. (Oddly I don't remember there being so many fall colors showing up this early on leaves. Not sure why that is.)

This time of year, when the wind blows just right, it sounds like it is whispering secrets in the treetops.

It's satisfyingly funny to see a dog press his cold nose against an unprepared person's exposed lower back when the person is leaning forward, and watch the person flinch and go, "Ack!"

i just found out that my old fave mexican restaurant here is still open, yay! and it's still my bday week, so we will go there on the way home from the old guy's checkup , BIG YAY!!  :cheers:

My children made their dad and me dinner last night.  :smile:

i should probably feel guilty about how much spoiling i'm getting for this birthday month, but i don't ! i deserve it!  :hot: :smile: :bouncegiggle: :twirl: :drink: :thumbup: :thumbup: :cheers:

We now have seven people for the "maybe" haunted house excursion I'm so excited about. Lucky number, eh?

All right, five would-be ghost viewers now, but who's counting....

SiX mOrE daYs.....

When my time comes---any day now  :tongueout:--- I can only hope my next of kin give me an obituary half as awesome as this:

My manuscript is almost complete. :teddyr:
