This is kind of a weird happy, but for some reason, I liked it. Found a scorpion mom with tons of babies on her back. They're oddly round, and their tiny pincers and tails move when their mom is agitated. She was clearly very interested in protecting them, and I just read that they grind up prey to feed them. (Who knew that baby scorpions are called "scorplings"?) Even though scorpions give me the willies a bit -- the stings hurt like the dickens -- I felt some kinship with her, as I was making sure my son was safe from her just like she was making sure her babies were safe from me. As cool as she was, she's been relocated away from the house. :D

Thank you cj, for posting this. I've been following this story on a call-in radio program on NPR (BBC's "World Have Your Say") while I work. At some point in each broadcast, people have called in with messages of hope for him ("Alan, you don't know me, but you are loved and thought about, and not forgotten." "Do not give up hope!"). While one part of me joined them in their best hopes for him, another couldn't help but think "Wow, that poor guy's a goner." So since I'm not at work today, I'm just finding out about his release here. :) :) :) What relief!
This bit made me cry with happies:

"He appeared with a cleanly-shaven head, saying one of his first acts after his release was "going to the barbers and getting rid of that just-kidnapped look".

"Maybe you have to have been a prisoner of some kind, for some time, to know how good it is just to be able to do the basic things that freedom allows," he said.

"You want to do everything at the same time, to read books and newspapers, go to the movies, go to the beach and sit in the sun, and eat and talk and all the rest of it."

Anyway, thanks.

Went to a postal vending machine to buy ten envelopes.

Muttered under my breath because the credit card payment was broken.

Found a café to make change.

Came back to the machine, inserted 6.25€. The machine started giving me the envelopes, and they got stuck.

Muttered some more, shook the machine.

The envelopes came down, and the machine gave me 6.55€ back ! Woohoo ! :D

[T.I.P.]

Ack. I meant flip-flops :o

in french we say "flip-flaps". oh well. Another day, another English mistake.

Flip flaps remind me of southeast asia.
Everybody does everything in flips flaps and shorts there.

I remember wondering why you would see a lot of dudes with egg shaped burn marks on their calfs. Then someone told me that those were exhaust pipe burns caused by riding motorcycles in your flip flaps.

Riding motorcycles in flip flaps gives me a happy :)

[brightpearl]

It's "calves."

But it should clearly be "flip-flaps." That's the noise they make. And they neither flip nor flop under normal circumstances. So you have one up on us there, Frenchie. :D

[T.I.P.]

It's "calves."


thanks for pointing that out ! ;)

Hehehe...that gave me a happy, and I'm not even in Australia. :D

[brightpearl]

Thongs, though they are sometimes a necessity for certain clothing, do not give me a happy in general. Sorry.

Flip flops do, though. One of my friends calls me the flip flop queen. Near as I can get to bare feet and not cut my feet on parking lot glass...

That the sun is finally shining again and that I saw this beautiful fox (H.Fox you been that strolling around Sanssouci Castle, Potsdam?? - admit it! ;)) running out of the wood - and (s)he being fast enough to jump back before getting hit by a car.

A man named Couch flying around on his lawn chair gave me a happy.

[Jack Flanders]

^^^ I heard that unfortunately when Mr. Couch jumped off the chair, the wind picked up the chair and the remaining balloons and they floated away. He had left his video cam-recorder on board. :( Wow! That was a real "Debby Downer" comment. Sorry! :o

[Tunesmith]

^ ^ That would make one hell of a story:

"And then this freakin' lawnchair just floated down out of nowhere!! With a CAMCORDER on it! It was like a sign, man - someone out there wants me to be a cameraman."

My husband and I went to a drive-through safari park on July 4th. Not only did I get to see a liger AND a tigon, I GOT TO PET AND HAND-FEED A GIRAFFE AND A ZEBRA. Husband said I looked like I was going to pop.

Sounds amazing, Dorkahontas! :D

but...
Not only did I get to see a liger AND a tigon

What's the difference? :confused:

[Dorkahontas]

^^according to the folks at the park, a liger is a female lion + male tiger. Looks like a tiger (no mane) but with very faint stripes. A ligon is a female tiger + male lion. It has a mane and very very faint tiger stripes. Napolean Dynamite had it wrong, apparently.

Head up, till you get outta there! :)

[auntie aubrey]

i've got a happy for ya. we got a puppy today. 2 months old, yellow lab/red coon hound mix.

http://www.gofalldown.com/cacophony/myimages/Puppy.jpg


he's not housebroken yet, which is kind of giving me the anxious fits. also, no name yet. we're considering "ted."

[Jack Flanders]

awwwww!! what a cutie!!! ted's a cool name!

[brightpearl]

Yep, definitely a Ted.

[auntie aubrey]

okay now the name might be henry.

this is going to be a tough one.

[Brynn]

How about Hank? He's very cute, whatever you call him.

since we're looking at cute animals at the
moment (http://www.themilkfactory.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1954)

[brightpearl]

I've been swearing I was going to name my next cat "Mr. Papageorgio" ever since I saw Vegas Vacation. Even if it's a girl.

[trisherina]

Ted or Henry. That is a tough one.

[brightpearl]

Thedry.

[Brynn]

I think Larry is always a good name for a dog.

[trisherina]

I also thought he looked a bit like a Bert.

ETA: Good-looking head on that pup!

[Avalon]

Congrats on the new addition! :) He's a beauty.

[auntie aubrey]

bert is an excellent name. i may throw that into the pot.

it's all academic anyway, all of my pets are called "booboo" anyway. still, he needs a name for training purposes.


i've got a huge happy to share now. he did a peepee on the puppy mat instead of the rug and he seemed to do it as a deliberate choice. also, we did one successful jaunt around the neighborhood on a leash. i'll take these minor victories on day 1!

[trisherina]

Just imagine, if he were a Nintendog, that would be a great day 1. Well, if he were a Nintendog, you'd have probably bathed him twice by now too.

[Jack Flanders]

BART!! My new bid!

it's all academic anyway, all of my pets are called "booboo" anyway. Canines, kittens and human babies all fall under the BOOBOO curse!! (Bart)

[lukkucairi]

I have no cute animal names, but I did sunburn both knees while paddling 22 miles yesterday in Teton nat'l park :D

physical exhaustion + natural beauty = happy camper

[brightpearl]

^Tetons. That reminds me of this cartoon that TIP posted the other day.
http://www.randomhouse.com/pantheon/graphicnovels/art/schoolhellspread1.gif

I'm a sad, pathetic little human being, really. :D

Then I thought of this cartoon, which is a highly accurate representation of what it's like to talk to a three-year-old.
http://politicalcomment.blogspot.com/Life%20in%20Hell.gif
When my son was about that age, he was digging in the fridge, and I told him to "watch out for butter snakes". (My parenting style is something like the dad in Calvin and Hobbes. :D ) We then had a long conversation about them, which I recorded for mirth purposes. My favorite part was when I asked what they eat, and he said, "Butter and lions."

[Avalon]

I took my 2 1/2 year old nephew on a short trip with me; I kept him busy by having him look for rhino's in the bushes and hippos in all the ponds. He is all geeked up about my hsb. taking him hippo fishing..... :p Nice to see someone else shares my sense of humor and parenting style. :D

[brightpearl]

This song (http://www.jonathancoulton.com/songdetails/My%20Monkey)gives me a happy. Reminds me not to pay too much attention to my monkey mind, and it's really beautiful.

De-evolving (http://www.jonathancoulton.com/songdetails/De-Evolving)'s another great monkey-themed one.

I saw a gangly adolescent girl walking a gangly adolescent camel on a leash in a downtown park earlier.

[Jack Flanders]

:confused:

[Tunesmith]

Well, the only results for "camel" in the Urban Dictionary are so dirty that I can't even post them here, so I'm gonna assume you mean the animal.

Sounds like it was hilarious. :D

[brightpearl]

^No innuendo meant -- it was a regular gangly teenaged girl with her gangly young camel, as defined by the nearest zoological dictionary, on a leash. In a park. Downtown.

Dunno why. :D

[auntie aubrey]

the puppy officially has a name. "theo."

theo pooped successfully outside today. well, semi-successfully. he started indoors and we had to startle him and rush him outside to finish. but once outside he sniffed, selected a spot, and did quite a number on the lawn.

i've never been so happy to see poop in my life.

[Avalon]

YAY! I like the name Theo..it fits him. :) Just came from the vet's office; my elderly pom is finally feeling better and got a clean bill of health. *whew*. I am a happy girl!

[Tunesmith]

I got a happy, no, I got an ecstatic after hearing The Decemberists in concert tonight.

I'm happy to report that thrashing wildly to lyrics about nautical adventures and whaling trips gone wrong is as fun as it sounds. :D

[trisherina]

Aw, I'm happy for Tunesmith! (and a little bloody envious)

[Stephi_B]

That my buddy will get this job in Vienna, starting on Oct 1 (in a bank, bloody capitalist him!, but well ca. 20 years ago he was a komsomol cader and planned a career in the communist party - a true servant of the dark side of the Force ;))

So good after all the nays he got elsewhere! And then as bonus on top in this marvellous city! :)

It makes me also a little bit sad cos I'm gonna use my long-year office mate (since late 2001 with a single 8 month interruption): the voice of reason whenever I was on the brink of a nervous breakdown, the giver of advice on problems with lovers and programming and on life in general, the reader of fun/weird news to me he found on the internet...

But, well I got a perpetual invitatation to visit him anytime in Vienna! :)

[Jack Flanders]

There you go!! A great friend to keep!!:D

While sitting on the bus this afternoon, I was listening to "Chromakey Dreamcoat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ2BT3SBO9U)", by Boards of Canada. Across from me, a man slouched in the seat, looking like he was on the verge of collapse. As the song's phrases progressed, he started to fall asleep, until his head was down against his chest. Jolted, he woke back up, raised his head, and then promptly fell asleep again. Across the bus, eight pairs of eyes, including my own, watched his head fall and rise as he drifted in and out of consciousness.

and I realized that just like the ambient sounds, the people on the bus were completing a cycle.

and that beautiful, perfect parity gave me a sort of inspirational happy.

It makes me want to write some poetry, or something. :)

[brightpearl]

^I always applaud the effort to write poetry, but be warned that should you try to capture that sort of experience perfectly, you'll be in the inspiration/futility thread in no time.

Alas!

But that's what makes the experience so cool. And the nice thing is, from now on, when you read a poem that touches it a little, rings a little bell, you'll enjoy poetry all the more.

[Jack Flanders]

I love Earth Girls Are Easy..my favorite off the soundtrack is Julie Brown singing "Cause I'm a blonde..B L O N D" The entire movie is a hoot.

My fig tree - just bought, got an honary place on my balcony - gives me a happy! :)

Just hope he won't die like so many other plants I already had... :( Dunno, I think I have a gene-defect or something: on my father's side there are at least 4 generations of - professional! - gardeners... what's wrong with me?! :confused:

Whist standing next to a very large pile of 5000 year old bat guano, I was reminded of having been on the same spot 20 years ago. That time, there was a leggy but otherwise healthy marijuana plant making its way in the world in front of one of the spotlights.

Hee hee hee.

And then I bought my son a little jasper T Rex, and I bought myself a 1-inch long hematite rhinoceros.

my happy is that i taught the puppy to flop over and play dead when i point my finger at him like a gun and go "bang!"

you could say it's a commentary on the ever-present obsession with violence in american culture. or you could just say, "CUUUUUUUUUTE!" like i do.

My brother is home safe and sound from his trip to Peru. He brought me home a necklace, which is pretty, and an ocarina, which unfortunatly didn't survive the plane ride home. He also has a shirt now that says "I have a black belt in keeping it real", which makes me laugh. I missed him quite a bit. I am happy he's back.

I helped an old Asian couple design an advert for their store today. It just opened two weeks ago, and is called "Hello YOGO Fresh Natural Frozen Yogurt Healthy for YOU!!"

The name itself gave me a happy. :)

They were overjoyed to see a customer (I dropped by for a smoothie), but spoke very little English, so through hand gestures and broken phrases I helped them decide on "VERY BIG Delicious Frozen Ice Cream!!" for their advert in the local paper.

[lukkucairi]

They're in the mail, as of this afternoon. :D

happy #1: i was contacted for a job opportunity that is literally a dream-come-true 10 years in the making. i doubt i'll end up getting it but i'm so far beyond thrilled that i've gotten as far as i have in the screening process.

does it make sense that i'm happy even if i don't get it, because they at least considered me? it means my portfoilo was gazed upon by someone who i have a tremendous amount of respect and fandom for. and that's such a good happy that i don't mind if it doesn't go any further.

happy #2: my soaps are selling like hotcakes. HOTCAKES! they don't taste like hotcakes, though.

[brightpearl]

^Those are both great!
Where do you sell soap?
I made some with rosemary and cornmeal once. It made me smell like a pizza oven, and I liked it.

That my grandpa is really doing fine after yesterday's operation!! :) :) :)

It was only a relatively small affair this time, but only 4 weeks ago he had an emergency operation where things balanced on a knife's edge (I learned that all only afterwards, my granny kept it secret till I came back from the conference - she knew I'd had taken the next plane north asap) and although I see him eternally young, he's 78 after all...

He was in jolly good mood when I just phoned him:
He: "Oh, and these nurses, how young and beautiful they are! And what things they're doing with me... *in pretended ashamed tone* you know, they shaved me in places where I never shaved myself."
Me: "Well, heard that's fashionable for men this season."
He: *laughing hard*
Me: *getting the giggles*
He: *still laughing* "Hey, dontcha piss your pants, girl!"

That's me grandpa, alive & kickin :D

Yesterday I took myself to a movie.
There were two other people in the theatre. No one else.
I finally figured out the pattern of the little flashing star lights on the ceiling. Each is wired to turn on and off at a different time interval, so collectively there is no pattern at all, but singularly each is regular.
The movie was beautiful. It was called Snow Cake. Look it up if you want.

[brightpearl]

There's a new taco stand a mile from my house. You could use half an ounce of their salsa to singe all the hair off a freshly killed wild boar and still have enough to bleach the driveway. I'm not sure but I think there might be shards of glass in it. I can't feel my lips.

I'm very happy to have found a place that knows how to make the good stuff.

I saw a hummingbird hovering just above my windshield as I pulled into the driveway. She was a plain brown. as I got out, she helicoptered over to the butterfly bush I've been planning to remove, and had herself a snack for a moment or two as I watched her. So, I'll be keeping the butterfly bush after all.

I found this little beauty while cleaning out the shed yesterday. It's some kind of skink and not an uncommon sight in gardens around here, especially now the weather is warming up. I got quite a shock when I saw its tail; I've never seen anything like it.
Some lizards like skinks can 'drop' or pull off the end of their tail when seized by a predator. The disembodied tail wriggles madly to distract the predator while the lizard makes its getaway. The tail will grow back over time, so I can only guess that this one has had its tail damaged and grown a new one as well as healing the old one.

As you can see in this one, one of the forks of the tail is starting to fork again, which makes it even more bizarre.

I would like to review my cat. His name is Smoke and we have had him for eight months. He doesn't take up a lot of room, so that is nice. He is self cleaning, self propelled and occasionally eats spiders. He speaks a strange cat language I have yet to decipher. This might be an oversight on the part of the manufacturer and someday I will take that up with a higher power. He is well suited for looking adorable. He is not so well suited for housework, another nit I will someday discuss with the manufacturer.

So far he has cost us $450 in vet bills, which is considerably less than the cost of having a baby. I feel that we are ahead and overall I give him 9 stars out of 10. I'm still trying to get over that little incident with my grandmothers china hutch.

Hearing Michael Palin say "Bigus Dickus" on live American radio.

[Earthling]

During the last week, my mom moved into my apartment complex, in the building just 30 yards from mine.
When she use to live miles from me, I could never ignore her when she was at my door coz I knew she made the effort to travel in her car the miles to see me.
Today was different. She knocked, and I knew if I didn't answer, she'd merely have a short distance to return home. My mom is 82.
I answered the door, and we spoke and laughed for nealy an hour.
It truely was a happy moment.:)

^Once a grasshopper inexplicably fell off the roof lining of my car and into my lap. He rode there for about 10 miles, until I found a nice wildflowery place to let him off. He appeared to be very calm about the whole thing.

maybe he fell into your lap on purpose.

once, during my time as a brain surgeon, a grasshopper fell into my lap while i was having peppermint tea!

[zero]

tree surgeon you mean

[12"razormix]

oh yes, i remember when i was a tree surgeon once i met a puppy who hurt its leg and i saved it and put it into a baskit and then and then yeah he was all better 'n shit and then i saved a couple of other puppies and a dead squirrel and put them on my living room shelf

[zero]

no - i remember that!!
i remember it - i do!!

i remembered it first!! it happened to me - and more vividly than you!!

[12"razormix]

that reminds me of the time when i remembered more stuff than you and then i told you all about it and you were all like "yea i know cause i remembered it first" and then i told you how about i saw the dead squirrel first and anyway i saw ten squirrels and you saw only one and then we made up and i wanted to make some tea but all there was left was beef buillon and then we had beef buillon and you said "hey, remember the time when we had beef buillon and then we had to laugh so much" and i was all like "well duh, i remember remembering beef buillon before you ever saw the dead squirrel" and then we all went and made some tea

[topcat]

^^^ you two crack me up. really you do. almost all the time. well not really most of the time. but some of the time. welllllllllll not really some of the time, but i think there was that one time, but i am not really sure. i think it must be never. yea thats it never.

I got a happy after finding a bunch of old books up in my attic.

I now have Nabokov's complete works, enough Dickens to last me around a year, and an awesome collection of essays by Carl Jung that fell on my head. :D

Last night it was cool and clear, so I went for a walk with a few spurts of running. After a nice long stretch, I was laying down on the driveway-- just admiring the few precious visible stars and enjoying the calm-- breathing. Then the song changed, and while gathering up my shirt and shed accessories, I noticed a Rorschach pattern on the pavement where I had just been.

That first glance induced an "Oh, not motor oil!" reaction, and I instinctively grabbed the back of my shirt to validate this conclusion. But, my hand's sensory receptors revealed the glistening response that accompanies most physical highs, sweat.

And that gave me a happy.

1. take ludicrously picky exam, and steadfastly refuse to worry about it
2. lie in incredibly sweet-smelling, freshly mown grass field, half under a big tree
3. share sandwich and blue corn chips with squirrel

on a gorgeous day, this is magic
