I am not in the habit of creating new threads. But if I am happy surely my joy could infect others? Like seeing the joy of projects that work...plans that work, advise that works??
Let me rephrase this little thread......If something you did today gave you enjoyment, made you happy, made you smile, made you laugh, maybe made others smile/laugh too..please post here...If you did crazy stuff and survived...please post here.
Life is too short to stress about crap. A bit of fun is always good for the soul.....Trust me.
Here's something that happened many years ago, but may still give you guys a chuckle:
I was out one night with a friend of mine, on a double-date.
We'd done the typical British youth thing of visiting a few pubs (bars) and walking from one to the other, having a couple of drinks in each.
After the fourth or fifth pub, we got outside and my friend set off running, shouting 'race you to blah blah blah' (the next pub)
I got on my toes and set off after him and we left the girls behind.
Realising I wasn't going to catch him and the fresh air had just hit me, I decided to slow down and walk.
The feet slowed down much faster than the brain, but the brain was still working a little.....
At this point, I knew I was 'going over the handlebars' and turned slightly to protect my head.
As it happens, I had enough momentum to roll completely over on my shoulder, and back onto my feet.
My friend had heard the lack of clomping footsteps behind him and had turned around at the right time.
Witnessing my impromptu 'commando roll' resulted in him going into a laughing fit, tripping off the kerb and ending up sitting in the road.
The sun was shining and the birds were singing, all day.
Drove my little sports car to Aberdeen and back, to visit a client and pick up a disk with some of their propretary software for some work I am doing for them.
Very little traffic on the back roads of rural Aberdeenshire, hood down, in the sun, nice drive.
Loaded the software onto a PC, worked first time.
JimB is delighted. Happy as a pig in the proverbial.
And now something from a few years ago...
I had a guy working with me, in the bad old days when I was an employee of a large company.
This guy came across very well during the interview, but after a few weeks working with him he started to grate on my nerves.
After a couple of months he had a week off to move house to the Aberdeen area from down south in Englandshire.
Towards the end of his week off I started to think to myself "wow, isn't it great without xxxxx".
On the Monday that xxxxx was due to return, I was driving to work in the morning and thought "It would be great if he had found a new job while he was off".
When I arrived at work and walked into our office, I could instantly tell that something was wrong...
He (xxxxx) said, "I have some bad news for you Jim, while I was away, so and so company made nme an offer I could not refuse, so I will be leaving at the end of the month".
"Oh dear!" said I, "that is terrible!", yet inside I was thinking "YES, WHAT A RESULT!"
Truly a case of deja vu if ever ther was.
I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat all day.
Never seen this before....extremely funny though...especially the waterworks from little Chinese guy...shame.
WOW...Mrs Machine Gun is one sexy, beautiful, stunning, amazing, wonderful, athletic, energetic....awesome at any angle kind of beautiful, awesome.......Woman.
Sigh....
If only I was thirty years younger with a Black Belt qualification....I reckon I could make her happy for ever.
We could spar all night long.
She is sooo hot. Heck I wish I had my youth back when I was a stud....albeit a short one but nevertheless.... a stud.
Chicks loved me...and then all my hair started falling out and that was that
Not as bald as some of mates though.
The best I can do at this stage is hire someone just as sexy/beautiful as she is and just stare at her for an Hour...well, maybe not only staring.
Unless of course she likes me too and I have lots of money....
I know how you feel there, tvtech. I still have some hair, but I've begun to bald at the very top of my head. I'll probably be completely bald within about 5 years time

Latest thing if you are balding is to shave all the hair off your head...then you need to grow a bigger face/head to balance things..you also need to get into the sun and have a tanned face to complete the tanned shaved head.
My one Nephew has been shaving his head since I can remember....I could not possibly imagine seeing him now with a mop of hair on his head.
It would look totally wrong to me.....and he has a beautiful wife and kids that adore him bald/shaved head and all.
I missed stuff along the way....LOL. I try and preserve what I have left (old fashioned).

I thought of shaving it all off, but my head just doesn't have the right shape for it. Maybe if I can "grow a bigger head" I could give it a try
I just got up about 2 1/2 hours ago, so it's still a little early to tell how I'm doing. I just had a granola bar and an English muffin for breakfast, so hopefully I'll be hungry enough to eat a full lunch. Just realized I'm almost out of meal choices at my apartment so I'll have to do some shopping. Thinking a nice big juicy steak for lunch or dinner....
LOL....and I did not mean to do it...but we just took the Funny Images Thread waaay off Topic again.....
That's what happens when people get along together though. Life is good so one does not worry about the contents of a thread that was supposed to be funny anyway...
