I must be the only one finding things to be happy about.

Anyway, I have a habit of paying for things with notes and end up with a pocket full of change which I split into two tins when I hang the pants up at night. 1 tin for gold coins and 1 for silver.

I noticed that the one full of silver (about 1 litre container) was full, so I got some bags from the bank, tipped it on the coffee table in the lounge and started counting.

$170 in 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent pieces not to mention the $15 in gold that had got mixed up. That should cover the beer and smokes for the next few days. :D

i am happy cos it's the weekend again, the pies are playing and spring is around the corner. plus i won a $350 voucher for attending a IT forum on wednesday but can't accept because of policies at work. have donated it for an auction and the money raised goes to the cancer society. daffodil day here today.

A woman walks outside one night to find her husband sitting on the front verandah with a beer in his hand, quietly sobbing to himself. She says to him "what's wrong honey?"

He replies, "remember when we first got together, we were both young, you were underage but we were so much in love"

"yes" she says smiling

"And when I got you pregnant, your father the magistrate gave me two choices. I could marry you or spend the next 20 years in Jail?"

"Yes" she says again, smiling and putting her hand lovingly on his shoulder.

"well" he sobs loudly,








" I would have got out today" :P

Going for a spin on my new kwaka. Getting into the city and around and then back again full of confidence... what a great day it was for a ride today. How good is it to be able to park right out the front of somewhere on the footpath? hehehe...brilliant

I've stayed at home all day, but nevertheless, there was an interesting and kind of cool moment.

This girl messaged me on one of my internet sites yesterday afternoon, and today we were talking on MSN. I asked her where she works, turns out its at the restaraunt I ate at last night. Furthermore, it turns out she was actually the girl who took our order. Crazy... especially seeing as how that was the first time I'd eaten out in ages.

But, you come to expect this sort of thing in Canberra... everyone knows each other :lol:

i resigned today after nearly 9 years of intolerable cruelty. i'm moving to melbourne in the next couple of months, time to head to a real city rather than the village i'm living in now.

The thought that some of the lovely ladies that post on this Board are considering getting a new vagina or new boobs.
Hey, if that doesn't make you happy, nothing will.
