Hi all,
It's quite easy for us all to get caught up in the economic mess that the country is facing, so I thought a "good news" thread is called for. It can be anything that you think might bring a smile to someone.
As an aside, I see that Letting of Steam (sad) now has 4,204 threads with 106,318 posts compared to Shooting the Breeze (happy) which has 3,760 threads with only 47,592 posts. Perhaps, a mod could put the monthly totals for each in a table - might be interesting to see how the totals correlate to the state of the general economy.
Anyway, I'll start with a something my eldest said to me yesterday (she's 4). We have this thing now where, when I'm giving her a treat or a toy I'll say "close your eyes, put out your handy" and I give her the treat/toy. Anyway, putting her to bed last night, she needed to go to the bathroom first. When we were inside, all excitedly, she says "close your eyes, put out your handy". I opened my eyes and what had she given me?....her toilet seat! And there she was jumping up & down in front of me with the excitement of it!
