Today I Feel Good Because...

Today I feel good because I had a chance to say goodbye to my grandfather who was a WW2 veteran.

Traditionally Finlandia hymn is sung by a choir in honour of the fallen brother in arms. It's a powerful and beautiful tradition which will soon end.

Thanks, I hope so, not sure who enjoyed it more to be honest.....much better than Xmas - spent an hour building a Lego Spiderman set and he tore it apart - I was distraught!
Oh I know this one.... but it was a giant size Lego princess castle with secret doors and keys. Lost the keys and trashed the castle within hours x
 
Because since mid Novemeber my right ear has been blocking and unblocking due to a disgusting build up of wax. Typically the ear was blocking up and leaving me almost completely deaf for up to 2 days max, but the last time it blocked it hasn't opened or popped (almost 3 weeks deafness).

I seen a Dr last week and she told me "There was no wax there" and she doesn't think "Syringing or Microsuction would help" as she thinks there's "Fluid behind the eardrum". I felt there was fluid in there too.

So she sent me home without any advice or even a reference to an ENT, you know because fuck me.

The next day I needed bloods taken and asked the Nurse if she could have a look, she got another Nurse who told me to come back for a Syringe. Well today I have had it done and now I can hear again.

Anyway here is a disgusting image of the wax build up that Dr Carey couldn't see and she used an otoscope (Please look away now), I should refer her to an optician!

You do know warnings should come before the grand reveal, don't you Chips :D

Also: fecking disgusting you miscreant :p
 
today I'm happy because while a few bumps the contest got participation and several members got involved and won tickets.

I'm a little less happy because I still had to scroll past ear wax :laugh::laugh:
 
Oh blushes, Thought nobody cares about me. :(. Not playing online anymore though I should do a small deposit for the games I can still play and like. Playing Land-based now but not doing that good. Going down to Niagara Falls for 2 nights last week of this month and then to Ceaser's Windsor for a night. Not a picture person but will try and do a trip report on here with a couple of pics. Scrapped the Las Vegas idea thanks to Trump and the shutdown. Right now like today spending the casino winnings that I won Last November December and replacing some old things, Got a new sound bar system to replace the old home theater I had, trying to replace some old clothes, new wireless mouse and mouse pad and still have to look at a new mattress. Giving up on trying to find a girlfriend, just so brutal these days, Nobody wants honesty, loyal, respectful anymore. :( Still at my extremely stressful job, I am looking again now though and still in hell hole city that I live in where it is really really bad here. Other than that just the same.


Got or well bought the mattress today, Coming next Saturday as that's only the day I had as leaving for the casino trip Sunday to Niagara Falls for 2 days than to the fancy smancy Windsor casino and I will be driving right by Bebo's house :P, Well lockinlove's as well but will be in her neighborhood on the Friday. :)

Let us know how you do at those land casinos.
 
I feel ok because I almost had sex.
Then the baby started crying so that put an end to that.
But it's the thought that counts nowadays I suppose.

Just over six weeks without gambling too which I guess is good? I don't know though- still really miss being able to feel elation, or relieve stress, or win some money even.. the grind is just so boring.

:eek2:
 
Ahh, thinking about sex......aka 'The Glory Days' :eek:

I wish I remembered what 1st base even looks like. I'm the reserve pinch hitter dreaming of even getting up to bat
well, least you still got that leather glove :P

Today I felt good cuz my jeans kept falling past my ass after i left the house and thought, huh, I must have lost a few pounds, theyre really loose fitting

visited my aunt, who says to me 'geez, you got fat'


sigh
 
I feel good today because i have come a long way in letting little things bother me. I have learned t just breathe because some things are not worth it.
'Don't sweat the small stuff' ...... sometimes easier said than done but very wise!

Oh and today I feel good cause I get my kids for the weekend! Sunday I will feel good giving them back maybe!
 
so quiet in the forum today

Today I feel good becuase it's gloriously sunny outside and snow is melting, dogs and kitties out basking in the sun
Shhh

Quiet
 
Have not read this recently, and to be honest I've not had as many happy days as I would have liked lately.

But I made a very nice dinner and had some really good wine with a very good friend. Her parents gave her a couple of venison chops, and the very first time I've cooked that nice a cut. Made some sweet potato blue cheese stacks, which were not as I hoped, but very tasty, and will be better next time. I do like doing new things. Sauteed spinach with shallots, and a truly lovely pinotage, The Grinder. Missed the last few bottles of the 2016, but was not unhappy with the 2017 for the price point.

Health issues continue, but I am feeling like there may be light at the end of the tunnel. A day surgery next week, and a longer surgery soon (I hope) for a different issue.

Oh, and over 4 months without a smoke. I feel pretty good about that, not really a struggle anymore. I get a little missing it occasionally, and not so much like I feel like I am deprived.
 
Well, when my life is pretty low, it is even more important to find those small things

I felt like I contributed something here.

I was up early enough to see dawn. Not overall ideal because I had been up all night, and I am still up.

Wait, this is why I feel good.

Let me look under the bed. Dust bunnies are our friends.

Maybe I am delusional, but I don't think that ii it, but I participated here again. I have felt less valuable than I used to be. Well, I am.

Not one but two friends helped me to get some lamb shoulder. Bit of a relay race.

My whole wheat flour has gotten a very tired. I haven't shown it much action for quite some time.

And for white soda bread, pfft, I'll line up at Lidl (did I get that right).

Onions, carrots, turnips and a plan in place for Irish Whiskey. Tullamore Dew is my buddy's first choice, and it is on sale. Personally, I am a Jamesons gal myself. Bushmills... well, I am not a fan.

Maybe I feel too strongly about certain issues, but boycott all bars that bill Coffee with Bailleys as an Irish Coffee. Bailleys in your coffee is lovely, but it is not an Irish Coffee. I usually top mine with whipped cream, but I might be a heretic.

AFAIK, none of my local stores have whipped cream cheap, authentic it is.

Those wondering where the Guiness is in my Sunday? It is literally in my Sundae... a Stout and Coffee Ice Cream Float.

It was on the menu for Valentine's Day, but ended up too full to have dessert.

President's Choice makes an more than acceptable Cheese Fondue.

I will be back soon to tell you what is good. It reinforces that not all is bad.
 
It is no secret or revelation that I have health issues. In so many many ways I am better now then then. But I'm also sixty and have issues that the miracles of modern medicine might help. A good part of the reason I'm so F"d I ended up with a botched surgery by an addict doctor who is now dead. I was here through a year of such hell I don't think I would have got through it with my fellow CMers.

I was expecting to have some surgical dates in the reasonable future after a long wait. A day surgery was set for Tuesday. Monday night I get a call it has been cancelled due to flooding, and it will be weeks before the operating rooms are viable. Today, in the paper it is expected that it will be 7 or 8 months. Not that mine will be delayed 7 or 8 months, there will be a backlog of 7 or 8 months of patients needing surgery.

On the bright side I will be Irish on Sunday.

If anyone else would like to post why they are happy or why I should be happy, please do. I' am always hoping other people are happy.

I am a true believer that your luck or wins do not hamper my chances, and I am rooting for all of you.

I think I should stop posting now.

Thank you for letting me vent. If you like this post, I won't take it as you like my current state.

And if you don't, I wont take it personally either. Old age has it's privileges.

Love Venison.....though I can't afford it all the time as it's a little deer for me!!!

Today I feel good because I got to make a Dad joke and congratulations @Jasminebed for giving up smoking!
 
Today I am happy because after a large series of negative events a few lights showed up.

Also I am still in good mood because the big win at Trada. I seriously learned a bit from the past, instead to put it in again I took 90 % out of my bank account and stored it at a safe place. Still I could not prevent a controll loss, it reduced the win by 95 € and this could be more but I screamed and fought against myself and it was sucessfull. I mean it would be stupid to risk such a great win for 95 € and then I accepted that it is still a profit I can be happy with.
 
A flip-flop day
Feel good because I got a lot of yard work done - rucking out the gardens, pulling out weeds and rocks, moving flagstones/patio stones

Don't feel so good because those bloody things feel like they weigh in excess of 200lb and I'm paying for it. Don't feel so good because no closer to getting a hot tub this summer which would help aching me.

Feel good because I know spring is around the corner :)
