Re: What Made You Smile Today?

Friday was a bit slow for work, so I left pup with husband and went to return a library book. Decided to do some thrifting - spur of the moment. Found a nice vintage necklace at Salvation Army. Found a "Bissell Spotbot" at MCC - it had the sticker that said "has been tested and worked at testing" so I paid the $9. Heavy sucker to lug all the way home (3 more stops: Helping Hands, Rutland Hosptial Auxilary and Value Village - found something small at each). The spotbot looks like something from the 80's, and is not light. I used it today (Buddy peed in the living room), and it works like a darn! I looked it up online, they only started making them in 2005 and the current model is $230 CAD. :200:

So it not only works, it fills a rather specific need and it was a score! :yahoo:

One of many tributes to the fallen soldiers of Afghanistan.



Restaurants across the country pay tribute with a table set up with 13 chairs, 13 beers and a photo of each soldier.

^^^^^

Right on!
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

When I woke up, and my first thought was of a sweet, new friend.
Ya … that’s a great way to wake up and smile 😊

That in an awesome reason to smile :130:

I woke up to a puppy licking my face - husband figured I'd prefer that wake-up call (since I slept through the alarm).

Logging in to see that this thread I started years ago is still going.
So happy to see the positivity still going strong.
That was what made me smile today :smt045
