The "Good News" thread
So, this idea occured to me while scrolling through the "Free rants" thread.
In this thread you can write about everything that makes you happy, things that you liked about your day, things that went very well for you, things that make you feel proud of yourself and so on. 
Start talking.

"-solve crimes?"

Re: The "Good News" thread
Great idea, Mary!
As for me: Went to the dentist's today and he said everything was fine with my teeth.

Re: The "Good News" thread
I HATE going to the dentist. We have already discussed that hubby will have to be the one who teaches baby that dentists are all right. 
Glad for you, Tobe!

Re: The "Good News" thread
So, I got back my english exam last week. 12 points. (2+)
The only exam that's better than mine is from a girl that has spent one year in Ireland and she's only got one point more than me (same grade though). I am awesome.

The commuter rail was botched up today so I got permission to work from home. Love sitting here in my 'jamies

And I said "dangerous" and here you are.
You. It's always you. John Watson, you keep me right.

Re: The "Good News" thread
This thread is a very good idea!
I will spend new year's day in London with my nephew and next week I will go to Paris with my best friend
I'm really happy (strangely not my bank account)

Re: The "Good News" thread
I have been so happy since I finally passed an important exam a week ago (700 pages of English grammar to learn including examples how to translate typical English structures to Czech). I failed three times before (twice I had it coming but once after I studied hard for a month and got a wrong question (it didn't help that the teacher scares me)) so I can't quite describe the feeling when I finally passed. And then our country won Davis Cup! So currently I'm more than content and happy to hear about your mother, tonnaree!

Re: The "Good News" thread
That's great!
I was a little 'sadface' over the weekend because my poor, good old little Chevy, during our Frankenstein road trip up to Chicago (my second road trip with it), both hit the milestone 100,000, and finally showed some strain from it again by having a loud muffler the whole way back. ;P But then 'happyface' again, with an independent dealer on the outskirts of town fixing it in one day, for less than half of the expensive quote the bigger guys in town gave me. ;PP (seriously…. support the little guys!)
Now to just look forward to the next adventure that was lucky enough to pop up so soon…. trekking again with mom (much shorter this time!) to city below me for our xmas gift to each other - TransSiberian Orchestra!!! And to just be thankful for having everything (and everyone around me) pretty good, despite the dread of working retail again next week's holiday… ;PP

Re: The "Good News" thread
Hey, nice idea!
I went to the orthodontis's this day, and three days after the American Sherlock air date I'll finally get rid of my braces 
One more good reason to wait for January.
Yay!

Re: The "Good News" thread
My team at work went out to lunch. It was technically suppose to be a "meeting" lunch but we didn't talk much work. Then my boss surprised us all by picking up the whole check as a Thanksgiving treat!
She's a real sweetheart.
