I just had to comment. Thanks Candy for being glad I am happy. Things are perfect but they are moving forward.

What makes everyone here happy?

If they're perfect now, how can you move forward? If I was happy, no one would recognize me. I tend to keep a happy medium between happy and sad. I'm neither nor.

Oh yeah..bubbles make me happy. I forgot that.

I messed up....I meant to say "THINGS ARE NOT PERFECT but I AM MOVING FORWARD!" What a lame-o, especially my typing.

Ha ha..well that one word does make a big difference, doesn't it? Well, if things ever are perfect, it can only go downhill from there. Looking forward to a better tomorrow is better than getting complacent. Too bad I'm such a pessimist.

what makes me happy?

Usually about 800mgs of Sam-E will do the trick.

Sam-E? Is that a supplement, an amphetamine, or a post David Lee Roth Van Halen singer?

It is a supplement of course.

Post David Lee Roth singers come in milligrams??

If you're talking sperm, that would be an affirmative.

Why do Shorti's threads always get to this topic? heh

Sperm comes in milligrams??

And just what kind of bubbles make you happy?

Well, millilitres then. Milligrams if you wait until it hardens, if you want to get technical..not to mention disgusting.

Bubbles was so yesterday. Today, belly button lint makes me happy.

Let us not get disgusting. eeecckkk

What a shame, I was about to send you a bubble machine.

A bubble machine? Let me guess..does it consist of you after eating a can of beans and a bathtub full of water?

Of course not .....I am allergic to beans!!

I am sure I could probably find something made by Whamo at the dollar store though.

I only like expensive presents. I'm high maintenance, ya know.

So would you prefer I try to find Lawrence Welk's estate and nab his bubble machine?

Sure, look into that, would ya? I think it used to be Liberace's. But I told you, I've moved on from bubbles. Today it's sea monkeys.

Sea monkeys? Are those the things you can grow from a pellet or something?
What exactly is a sea monkey?

I never saw one actually. I just remember seeing ads for them in comic books. They must come in pellets or something because you had to add them to water for them to develop..which is fascinating, yet extremely creepy. But perhaps you've had more interesting things grow between your toes.

I remember seeing those add's in comic books too.
I remember the "just add water", and I thougt, hmmm..maybe I could run a bath for my sister and add them to her bath!!!

You're devious. I like that.

Putting them in her milk would probably be fun too.

Yes I am a devious devil woman!!!
When I worked at the factory, I once got all the shredded paper from all the offices and filled a guys car with it. When he went out after work, it was definitely a kodak moment!! One of the secretaries gave me his locker com (she had a crush on him I think!) anyway, he ended up putting an alarm on his locker. LOL
It was hysterical....and yes I got caught. He was a good sport.

My sister never drank milk, I wish I would have had sea monkeys for her Pepsi though.....THAT would have been great!

I bet he didn't think it was funny after getting 1000 paper cuts while removing the paper.

Ha..Judy Dench got drenched while christening a boat. Just saw it on the news..

Sea monkeys on a sugar high. I bet it doesn't get any more fun than that.

No paper cuts, he had his work gloves in his pocket.

I dunno...but a stranger reading these threads would probably think we are easily amused.

My sister drinks diet coke now. I am wondering ....do they still have those sea monkey ads in comic books?
Wonder what a sea monkey would do after a big dose of aspartame.....hmmmmm

Were they work gloves or was he just happy to sea you?

I haven't seen a comic book since my youth.

Sea Monkeys

The Sea-Monkey story began in 1960 as the idea of fisherman Harold von Braunhut. Von Braunhut was the first to look at common fish food and see pets! Before becoming a national icon, Sea Monkeys were simply hardy crustaceans revived with water, and fed to the fish.

By 1960, von Braunht had begun selling Sea Monkeys through a toy company called Honey Toys. For years, Sea Monkeys were only available via mail order and were advertised in the back of comic books.

Sea Monkeys, also known as brine shrimp, can live in a latent state inside their tiny eggs for many years. These resting eggs preserve the Sea Monkeys' lives. Sea Monkeys are napping inside a biological time capsule until your wake them!

Scientists call this remarkable state of sleep "cryptobiosis" which is defined as "the state of an organism when it shows no visible signs of life or... life comes to a standstill". 1

In nature, brine shrimp are found in salt lakes and salt evaporation flats. These bodies of water are so salty that Brine Shrimp may be the only non-microscopic animal living in them.

OMG...so THAT is what I married!!!

Just add water and watch him grow.

I'm sorry I looked that up now. The mystique of the sea monkeys is now ruined. Shrimp. Who knew?

Does kinda put a damper on the novelty of the sea monkey doesn't it.....

I'll check back after I have finished watering my insignificant other.

Put some water on more than just his groin.

Oohhhh ok!! Thanks! BRB...maybe.....

You mean getting rid of you is that easy? Phew!

Ha! Had you going didn't I?
It's pretty easy to get rid of me. Just say you're outta here....and I'm gone.

I think he drowned....not sure though.....

Is he turning blue? Blow air into him!

It's not my fault that everything I write here leads to sex in the hands of you all. I just wrote I was happy and that's that.

And what makes people happy? Sex! Is at least one of the reasons you're happy the fact that you're getting laid on a regular basis? Betcha it is.

and I thought the conversation went to sea monkeys....?

"getting laid on a regular basis" is not grounds for spiritual happiness Rick, but now that you mention it......

And who in their right mind doesn't think of sex when they think of sea monkeys???

"getting laid on a regular basis is not grounds for spiritual happiness"

Many a Catholic priest would beg to differ. heh

What religion are you, Shorti? Did you have some sort of spiritual rebirth or enlightenment?

I'm Catholic, you butthead. But that's not what I meant. And those priests are sick, not sure it's that funny to joke about it, but I can see why people do.

BAK TO HAPPY - I am learning to take things as they come instead of planning my life out just to be disappointed and that seems to be working!

I'm Catholic too. Priests are only human. By making them take a vow of celibacy, it's not surprising that things like this happen. I think the church should let them get married and think seriously about ordaining women. They should also allow people to use protection during sex. It's the 21st century and people are being driven away by the church's refusal to move with the times.

Maybe it's not a joking matter, but at least attention is brought to the situation that way. The church's silence on the matter was the wrong way to deal with it.

I think approaching each day as a new day is the best way to keep happy. Don't stress over things you can't control. Don't have unrealistic expectations, but strive to do the things you can do to make your life better. Realize that we only live once, so don't be afraid to go after opportunities. Learning from past mistakes is helpful too.

Thanks for that last paragraph. I've been trying hard to adopt that very same thinking!

Easier said than done though!

It's so hard but I keep trying.

I wasn't going to contribute here, but the voices in my head just won't shut up. It's irritating, they sound just like the teacher on Charlie Brown!

I just have to say that I believe when one is at peace with themselves, and learns acceptance on all levels, begining with acceptance of self, as is, then spiritual happiness just falls into place.

And here I am.

So you're both ready to join my cult.

Step one. Material possessions do not equate to happiness. Send them to me.

Step two. Money doesn't bring happiness either. Wire to me all of yours.

Step three. Recruit your family and friends.

Step four. I must procreate with the nubile, young women of the cult to ensure it's longevity.

Challenge my authority? I have some purple Kool Aid for you.

And I was just going to suggest that shorti check out Bach Flower Remedies for her blahs. They can be quite effective for what she has been describing.

Rick,
#1. I will get my husband in the mail to you pronto!

#2. I've got $1.32, what on earth is your exchange rate now?

#3. I have tried to recruit my friends here, I no longer have any friends. I disowned my family years ago....but you can have my mother!! I'll throw in my female boss as a bonus.

#4. Damn, I am too old. Missed out again!

I felt really happy today and I am SO GLAD.

I don't get the sense that Shorti's in need of any herbal remedies. I don't see where she says she has the blahs either. No one is happy 24/7.

$1.32? That's like $10,000.00 Canadian!

Tell your husband he looks neither young nor nubile in drag. I'm not sleeping with him!

I have your mother unloading material goods from trucks in the warehouse. She's teaching the others new swear words.

I'm sending back your boss. People in management positions are useless.

Bach Flower are not herbal remedies. I work with the general public, I know first hand that no one is happy 24/7.

My mother swears like a sailor. She called me at work today and when I told her my boss didn't order something she wanted she said well then f*ck her! She is a darling 74 year old woman isn't she? You're gonna love her!

Please don't send my boss back!! Would you reconsider if I told you she is blonde and has hooters the size of the U.P.??

What are Bach Flower remedies? Aroma therapy?

Is Betty White your mother???

Ok, ok..your boss can stay. I'm sure I can find something for her to do. heh

Bach Flower Remedies fall under the category of homeopathy....which has nothing to do with the Village People.

No Betty White is nicer than my mother.


Thank you for keeping the boss. Now maybe I won't need Bach Flower Remedies by the gallon, which help to control my ANGER.

Hey! Believe it or not, only the Indian in the Village People was gay. Do you have any psychopathy remedies?

So much anger. Are we going to hear about you in the news one day in the near future?

..."she was friendly..."..."quiet"..."kept mostly to herself"..."kind of a loner"

That is a pretty good description of me.
I have always been a loner. I thought it was the Aquarius in me.

Hey, me too. Maybe there is something to this astrology thing.

I'm not a loner by choice though. No one can stand to be around me for long. heh
