Good News Thread
 

Okay, here's the challenge. Some people say there is only good news in the world etal. I challenge you to tell the good news. Got to be some right.

Tootsie

I'll begin.

On Easter Sunday when my DH and two fellow workers were scheduled to work the afternoon shift (2:00 to 10:00) I decided to prepare a complete Easter dinner and take it to them so they wouldn't feel left out.

My Sister in law and her hubby came by and we took it together. Turned out great.

Only six of us there; my own children live many thousands of miles away. We still had a great meal and a good time.

Now it's your turn...I know there are good deeds or good news to tell about.

Tootsie:)

i let my wife have the remote control lol

thats pretty cool thing you did on easter thats cool

the Lady's at the local pharmacy aka grocery store when they see young Mrs Wolfe up there (age 96) they know she walked and a fair distance too, call us and deb or I run up help her finish her shopping and take her home, when ever, and help her get stuff put away spend a bit of time with her she lives a few blocks from us nice young gal stubborn old mule , i likes her ,shes got sass, i just worry when its so cold or so dang hot out, she is gonna get hurt by over doing it

Well,

My middle son qualified for the county science fair.
It's a competition that includes all the schools in the county.
He presented today, he didn't win be we are so proud of him.

Cindy

That is wonderful ....everyone can't win, but it's still an honor and a positive achievement.

What was his presentation?

Tootsie

He did a comparison ~sorry brain fog here..

He compared elephants and whooly mamoths and how they were the same.
He showed diagrams, charts, etc.

Some of the kids you could tell that their parents did their projects for them but josh's was mostly pictures he got online.

He was also on t.v our local news did a report on the science fair.
STUPID BRAIN FOG.... i'm really dizzy now so if i have typos that's my excuse.

Olhipie lets me have it once in a while...throws it at me....:D

This was my GOOD... :)

perhaps you were meant to see that sunrise huh, maybe it was what you needed to get over that hump





peace

interesting u bring that up, because the difference between deb and I meeting is me copying her name from a chat room or not, was in a divorce chat room on aol many moons ago and those tend to scroll rather fast with a lot of folks in them, and one person asked for help ironically on how to copy and paste, I hesitated, then rescrolled the room and copied debs screen name and the rest is history, had i waited ten maybe twenty seconds longer her name would of scrolled off, and we would not of met, because she had already left the room, that is how i met my present wife, we built a long distance long term friendship and it blossomed and bloomed

things do happen for a reason

My son's orders have been changed and he will not be deployed to Iraq in May. :) Instead, he'll be deployed to the South Pacific, where my father served in WWII. :hug:

Better yet, I get to see him before he goes on deployment. He's taking a leave in April to celebrate my 50th birthday with me. I can think of no finer gift. :D Following deployment, he gets to come home for good and FINALLY start college next year. He's already served 4 years in the military, and I've missed him SOOOO much. :hug:

thats fantastic Kathy

I think so... because my bad mood disappeared immediately.

My daughter & grandson spent the night last night because her husband was staying with his sick Mom in a town about an hour away & she didn't want to be alone. She hasn't spent the night at my house in years, probably because she only live a mile away. ;)

We had a ball. Played with my beautiful grandbaby for awhile, put him to bed, popped some popcorn & watched a movie. This morning I got the baby up, brought my daughter coffee in bed & then made them breakfast.

My daughter said she was the luckiest woman on earth to have a Mom like me. Can't get any better than that! :Heart:

That's great Michelle! I am so happy for you! :hug:

just got off phone with my sons computer science teach and he is only kid from this area northern ill high school going down state in a computer programing contest held by the state, i think she bragged a bit but she said no he was only one that qualified from northern illinois wowser coolieos farout

this should make the folks over at devry happy after giving him a scholastic scholarship

All I can say to that is....

I just got some good news.

After 9 mos of swollen feet and high blood pressure my beautiful niece gave birth today. She had a bouncy happy healthy baby boy!

She has been so miserable. I am so happy this part is over.:p

congrats aunt Beth

congrats mommy and babby

Thank you for this post it is nice to hear good news. i do not watch the evening news for most part, because it is depressing.

I wanted to add one more to this thread but have hesitated not sure why shame or embarrassment not sure, yet I've no reason for either. As some of you know I was a sole parent for almost ten years, before I remarried into the other trio of sons i now have.

so the 3 of us started life early and scared. Unfortunately Sean my eldest has severe LD adhd odd an iq of 60 - 65 seizures bi polar, and can not read. Yet socially the kid is fine, academically its a challenge...We actually tried one of those advertised tutor centers for reading and got a full refund. this was my biggest heartbreak.

I was reading by 1st grade escaping into books, like the boxcar children series or the light in a forest, that was the one that taught me i could crawl into the book and walk among the pages. So for my son not to be able to enjoy this pleasure broke my heart.

well a few nights ago(almost 10 days ago) I walked past his room cause I heard him talking in there, which in all honesty is not odd with him but he was talking intelligently.

Quietly I opened the door, Sean had dug out some early 1st grade reading books i still had and was actually reading them, I immediately dialed my mom on my phone and told her to listen and slipped the phone in the room and stepped back and listen to him actually sounding out words. I dont care what you think, I am a dad, was a mom, always a parent first and foremost and will always be for life.

I cried my eyes out i have waited 15-16 yrs for this moment, he is dilingently working on it I got him a few cognitive 1st and 2nd grade work books math grammar words memory etc.... he wants to be a lawyer and by gods will if i can help him i shall.

finally at age 19 things seem to be falling into place the seizures are gone and he is learning, and for the record when I grabbed the phone back my mom was balling too it was something I guess you had to be there but even deb shed tears for him, it has been ten years of wishing he could read for her too

I just really like the good news thread I hope it keeps coming in, its refreshing and wonderful to hear good things

thank you
peace

I haven't visited this post for a while. Sorry about that. Your posts are very uplifting. It's good to hear some good news and we all should try to find something positive every day.

It can be hard though.

Keep up the good news:grouphug: Tootsie

I just re-read this post of mine. I must be mushy headed. I meant "Some people say there is only BAD news in the world etal".

The good news for me today is that you were all too kind to mention my blooper.

Tootsie:D
