Why are you happy today?

Cos my number of deleted posts has shot up overnight from a previous total of three to seven. Four posts in one day. Comedy gold. Excellent start to the morning. Thank you for that moderator type person.

*hums tunelessly to self and goes off to find the victims of moderation support group - finally someone might understand me...*

The guy next door is cutting my grass for me. He doesn’t know that the babe that I took over the apartment from has moved. Long live wussses!!

Because it 's going to be another perfect day and I am going to spend the afternoon
at a garden party where I look forward to be playing with my favourite dog.

LOL! I once had free internet for 4 months becos of a similar wuss! The day he found out, the password for the WLAN ( which the girl had given me) was changed! Enjoy the privileges while they last!

So today at my local airfield we were discussing the shortage of gliding instructors in our flying club & (worse still) the last of prospective candidates. As usual some clown suggested me to which I responded "too old". Up pipes S..., a really nice girl in her 30s who is (a) learning to fly & (b) is the club treasurer: you cannot be too old - must have a "4" at the front or only just a "5". Went down like oil as they say here (I'll be 56 in a few weeks...).

I tried unlocking my FS account , wonder if it worked? If so then I'm happy, if not, oh well!

because this posting made me laugh out loud.
It also made me miss my god-dog a little, though.

it's cooling off a bit! rain and some hail and finally some cooler air is coming in through the window! yay and Bren is just laying there calmly chilling out ignoring thunder and things- yay! he's getting over his loud noise/storm thing-wahoo our work is paying off

...and then coming back to more Beamish. It's never ending, isn't it?

Because I got a very precious cargo back from Birmingham with Lufthansa. The newly inherited canteen of cutlery? The tasty Lancashire cheese? This month's Rugby World?
Nope the most precious of all: Vogel's Soy and Linseed is now sold by Tesco.
The best sliced bread in the world is now in my flat.
Bought the entire stock for my freezer. Lush bready perfection is now mine.

If you've ever seen a woman hug a loaf in a supermarket while close to tears of joy, you were in Coventry stadium branch last night.

Vogel's - farkyeah.

And paired with marmite this morning, it was toastful heaven.

Cos a top TTer just came round and sorted my WiFi network for my laptop so i'm a 2 floor computer man now.

Curry wars and pub boycotting in one ...

Edit: Any chance of the situation being handled with dignity seems to already have gone. Priceless.

had 3 successful classes tonight! Puppy, beginning manners, and intermediate manners
(generally the classes are always good, but I also generally am not in as "guest intstructor" with a few other trainers observing as was the case tonight).
I was able to work all day, rush home, work with my roommates dog to start conditioning stress and calming signals, then go and work on some jump sequences with Brennan and still have time for playing. After that was 3.5 hours of teaching.

Some of the other instructors have decided to try to emulate some aspects of my classes due to the structure covering more, sharing more info with students, and higher student satisfaction. It was nice to be asked to go in and help them this session so we can, hopefully, get a stronger program (that is if i don't leave there due to possibly a new instructor coming in who i do not agree with her training methods since they do not mesh with learning theory and behavior mod. methods).

'coz those penalty-pullers from Italy got thrashed last night.

Because the lawn is being mowed right outside my office window, the sound and smell of which reminds me of summer when we were living with my grandparents in Boulder, Colorado.

On the other hand, it is a bit of a bummer that the mini-poppies are being mowed down, but they will grow back.

Happy happy, joy joy. It's a beautiful warm spring day, I've got a good evening of sport to look forward to, I'm losing weight, my shoulder has stopped hurting, so hopefully I can start climbing again sometime soon. Slacklining has got me feeling fantastically focussed and balanced.

Oh, and I had cyber-sex for the first time last night. But #me doesn't think that's got anything to do with my state of mind. #me actually finds the whole idea pretty fucking weird.

Because if everything works out, I will be able to ship my stuff home for really cheap.

Bacause I had a nice evening with my bf and my Dad yesterday.

Still laughing cos' my Dad (after having persuaded the waitress to pour some more Eierlikör over his icecream) told the waitress that the urologist to whom he will have to give a urine sample today might claim that he was asking for a urine sample, not for an Eierlikör sample...

I could have died of embarrassment, but decided to rather laugh about it

Cos i've got a new job in Munich.

Congrats!

Where's the champagne!
Congrats

Beers are on Bluedave on Friday!

Fanks.

And i may well indeed buy a couple of beers on friday, depending where it is this week.

Woohoo. I reckon a curry is called for

Sadly I won't be there this week, you can owe me one!

I'm happy that so many people have posted their happiness and brightened up the world a little bit more!

I'm happy because I am completely done with school for the semester (all exams and everything). Because I will have freshly washed clothes tonight (that don't smell weird because I'm washing them at my friend's house instead of mine, our washing machine sucks), and because I was able to fit everything into the box to send to Germany on Friday. Now let's hope that the truck strike will be over soon, so my box will actually be taken home!

After work Bren and I had a great time meeting with a friend and working on agility. It was the first time we ran courses outside! Bren was great. He wasn't as distracted as i thought he'd be and had some more speed. We still have things to work on, but today was really good and if we would've been at a trial he would've qualified if one of his runs. Now... we just have to become more consistent (more like I have to get better handling skills)

Because a pal sent me the new Flight of the Conchords videoclip and I just laughed so hard I woke up the rest of the corridor at work.
Flight of the Conchords

Because my annoying co-worker is working from home today and I have the entire room to myself - ahh, total bliss.

I just got a bunch of the nicest flower's I've gotten in years. Delivered in a box. Just for helping someone. They are beautiful.

Thanks for sharing - that was pretty good.

I got my Tina Turner tickets today. What do you have to do to get the seats in the front tho - camp out maybe?

Cos finally after 6 weeks, I got internet and phone connection in my apartment. Attached to the world once more, able to waste hours on TT once more.

I finally got a Royalty Statement with something other than a big fat zero on it.

Because I've sold almost all of the stuff I wanted to sell.

because the tornado sirens are going off in downtown Milwaukee- this is the 3rd time in a week. It's been years since they've gone off down here before this!
i'm happy because so far work isn't making us go sit in the hallway. If they do that would definitely add to my crap day.

happy thoughts- go home, go to the kennel club and work on agility then go home to a good meal and perhaps wine (happiest thought- today ending)

edit 15min later-
Damn it now they’re moving us to the hallway few floors down!!! They better not damn it.

A tornado spotted in the Milwaukee area.

Cos i've got a new boss that agreed that efficiency would be best served ( he's German ) by me working today from home.

Not half bad the Erics given a chance ya know.

Sorry, forgot to mention seeing Germany lose also picked up my mood last evening.

Because talking to my best friend cracks me up. I love her to bits.

because today i got told ive been given the degree classification ive always aimed for (a "drinker's first"!). so happy, my mum cried! dont remember ever feeling this relieved in my life.

Because some twat squeezed his car into a tiny gap between me and the car infront, narrowly missing the other car that was next to me.. ( we were all moving slowly at the time in heavy traffic)
I sounded my Horn and expressed my dissatisfaction with his manoever, so did the guy next to me..

Me being the guy I am, "tapped my finger on my forehead" when the offender started to Jesticulate at me in his mirror!

Said bald headed bloke then Unbuckles his seat belt, opens his door, steps out and starts to walk towards me...

I also get out of my van...

The look on the blokes face was a Gem!!

The little jerk just turned on his heals and got back in his car!

I smilled for quite a while after that.. so did the driver of the car next to me!!

I am happy because Emily, the Three-Legged Hunter, came home with a huge mole in her mouth and it was still alive and flailing (= not quite kicking). I quickly separated the two, threw Emily inside and the mole into the field across the street where it dug itself a hole within 20 seconds.

Because my closest co-worker is so supportive and comforting when things go wrong.
He's such a caring guy and a joy to be around.

Don't know what this word means, but it sure sounds risque.

Becasue Ireland vote NO!

I just finished doing my taxes (US) for last year and now it is time to gesticulate a bit.

Because I put my elbow on the antenna box remote control, it changed station and then I realised that I had more channels than I used to have on the thing.
Having ORF 1 & 2 again, especially with the football on, makes me very very happy.
No idea how this has happened, especially as isn't listed on the DVB-T website, but Servus anyway.

Because we just finished painting the entire apartment and after squabbling over colors and walls and everything else, it ended up being the most fun weekend and the place looks fab. Thanks to my boyfriend for putting up with me... and for making sure that all the paint lines ended up straight.
