What made you smile today?

[Gemme]

I had to go check out peachycheap. Thank you, I had never heard of that before!

You're welcome! Keep an eye out for their grab bags. Those are fun and no two are alike!

For those who don't know what it is, it's a site that sells craft goodies but only one a day (unless they sell out). If you want what they have, you buy it. If you don't, you don't.

I found out about it through YouTube.

To be thread compliant, my trainer made me smile. Actually, he cracked me up AND I found out that a new member of the gym that I saw is gender fluid.

Hmmmm....:thinking:...

I can't believe just how easy this is. I am so happy to just grocery shop with her. We have done it a couple of times today.

We went and picked out flowers for yard. Amazing how we both were drawn to the same flowers.

We talked about some projects we would love to do. While she was napping I started and finished one. Looks good

He's also been given a job with the fire department. Talk about brave. This guy is living proof a man doesn't have to look like a professional body builder to have incredible strength. I've known men who were professional bodybuilders that couldn't have managed to do what he accomplished. That child was so fortunate that man was there right at that moment and willing to get involved.

my dog, all of the sudden, broke out into this cute adorable little howl. As if he were testing his singing voice (he is a chihuahua). And it was only to one song.

Vintage can you help me understand why you think this tweet was empowering? I keep trying to see it but I seem to be missing something.

All I am seeing is Bee using vulgarity to insult another woman and Field also insulting the same woman minus the vulgarity.

In my mind, misogyny and sexism is misogyny and sexism regardless of which gender happens to be expressing it.

So, how is insulting a woman empowering?

Thank you.

Makes me sad to think some people think there is something empowering about women deliberately choosing to demean, disparage, and insult other women with or without vulgarity attached. To hear it makes them smile makes me even sadder.

Kind of like saying if someone uses the n word in such a way to demean, disparage, and insult a black person, it's really ok cuz its really empowering for them....they just dont know it.

Kobi-

Your post was reported for badgering and for being passive-aggressive AF.

You've been modded for this type of shit multiple times and I'm over it. If you don't like what someone says you have options: report it, engage without taking personal swipes, or keep your mouth shut.

Anything outside of those options is not acceptable.

Also? For someone who is such a die-hard Feminist and so "woman positive", you might want to examine the way you talk to other women on this site. The head-patting is tedious and talking to other (clearly smart, articulate, educated) women as if they are beneath you is bullshit.

Move along.

With all due respect Angie, your prior wrist slaps have said if you dont understand what someone is saying, ask them.

That's what I did. I did not understand why this was empowering to women and I was asking for an explanation. I also included why I was having difficulty understanding.

My apologies to VK and this site for simply trying to understand something that didnt make sense to me.

Moving on.

Let me illustrate for you the part that needs to stop happening:

"To hear it makes them smile makes me even sadder."


It's fine to ask for clarification but asking for clarification generally stops at : "Hey, can you help me understand this?"

It doesn't elongate the conversation with value judgments on the other person or little quips like "learn something new every day" that appear to be designed to head-pat or outright dismiss the other person's position.

Thanks.

Now, to move this conversation along from the derail:

I glanced up and over to my left for no reason. There stood the cutest little fox ... then poof, he was gone. I could not tell you which direction he ran. It was like he evaporated. That is twice that has happened now. I never see their exit because they are so fast. I stood there in total amazement with a smile on my face. I enjoy living out here so much. :)

It was such a bittersweet moment packing today.

I found one of C's earrings against the baseboard in the room where she took her last breath. There is nothing spectacular about it at all...just a small black costume "diamond" stud that she probably paid a couple of bucks for.
And now that I think of it, I'm smiling again because she had no problem spending her money on expensive shoes and boots but she was always fond of cheap costume jewelry.

I smiled when I found the earring because one of our last lucid conversations involved her telling me that she lost her earring and that I probably ate it.

It's been just over 2 months since she died. I still pick up the phone to call her and my heart still hurts like hell when I realize I can't.
She'd kick my ass if she saw me still raw-as-fuck and numb to the bone all these weeks later but it's what I've got to work with.

I put the black plastic diamond in one ear and had a total John Waters moment from "The Breakfast Club" where John puts in the diamond and raises his fist as "Don't You Forget About Me" starts playing.

Don't worry, C, I won't. <3

My Son's girlfriend gifted me some tomatoes from her garden patch and it's the first time I've had tomatoes that tasted this good since my grandparents died. I'm in my 50's now and I've been complaining about the poor quality of tomatoes ever since. Everyone says when people pass we remember things about them more fondly than they actually were before they died. Maybe it was true, maybe I was picky, anythings possible I thought. I wasn't sure, memory generally fades over time, not improve. However I found out I was right because these are exactly like my grandparents grew. I've had all sorts of tomatoes of all types over the decades and none of them ever tasted like this. Okay I liked her but now it's official – my son can never, ever, ever break up with her. If my son is ever so foolish to leave her we'll have plenty of fresh tomatoes to pelt him with and today at lunch I'm going to tell him so.

Seeing a good friend and her transformation from her male drag to her authentic femme self! Love seeing her happy.

Getting a message, asking how my foot is. It's like my own TLC.

Thank you 😘

A visit from one of the hospice nurses.

She knows her stuff and helped us mentally prepare for the inevitable. She also reassured us that we are doing a good job and validated the difficulty of the situation.

Plus....she seemed so straight laced (so to speak) but she had all kinds of cool tattoos. I was instantly comfortable with her. She was just so down to earth.

Mom is in good hands ♡

Cooking the same meal, hundreds of miles apart.

(Though I'd be smiling a lot bigger if we weren't hundreds of miles apart. LOL)

[FireSignFemme]

Making it through the day without running the air conditioner. It's 6PM, 91 degrees and from here it's just going to keep getting cooler. Yay!

[RockOn]

Just about everything! :)

I feel so elated! I was able to drag four very large, very heavy logs out of my backyard. I prepared a take-off strip. Manipulated each one there with that STIHL Cant tool I bought a few weeks ago. Log rollers rock!!! Also had to strategically place some 2x12x24 pieces of lumber along their intended path to prevent them from rolling down and crashing my home in case a tow strap snapped or something else unplanned happened. The first one made me really nervous. I had to go slow, stop several times, adjust my angle, shorten the tow strap. Did this on each one. Very tedious and time consuming to say the least but all went well. I did get a little cocky on the third one after I made it past the house and started down the 150 foot drive way. I hung it on a stump but no big quiz - only extra work. The truck performed well as usual, kept the 4x4 engaged all the time when dragging.

Also, found out this type of work is helping with the pain in my right hip, leg, feet and toes. The sciatic pain returned full force almost three weeks ago when I fell on the back patio. It was hurting a lot this morning but shortly after I began the log dragging task, it disappeared.

All I know is for each log, I had to roll it to the take-off area ... secure it with straps, then tie it to the truck. Also, because of the size of these logs, I crawled out and climbed back in the truck on the average about fifteen times per log to adjust tow straps along the way . At any rate, I am so so grateful! For a change, I actually had what I describe as a productive day. :) I already have five more lined up, positioned and really to roll.

Yes, smiled a lot today! Still am!

[RockOn]

Once again all day I have been using the truck to drag large logs from the backyard down to the front of the property. I did not have my angle right on this especially large one. In fact, it was the largest one in the backyard. Anyway, It started rolling down towards my home. I had lost all control of it. Thank goodness I had not filled in a hole where I had burned a stump. That saved the day! No joke, I near chit myself when it flipped off on its own.

I grinned from ear to ear when the it got caught on the side of the embankment of the stumphole. Then I went nuts cheering, whooping and waving my hat in the air.
LOL!
:)

The pooches and I are about to take a nap now.
*still grinning*

Getting an excellent price on strawberries and blueberries yesterday, and thinking of all the great things I'll be able to make with them as I was working in the kitchen this morning.

[Gemme]

It's been a good day! I've had awesome interactions with folks, I can hear a contractor working on a long suffering problem next door at work and I am going to get my hair cut soon. Good things!

[RebelDyke]

So, I was out shopping for back to school stuff.. yanno how just about everything is on sale....including pet stuff. So, I am buying some sale items that i intended to "put away for christmas" and well, when i get home apparently Pete thought he needed a back to school present too. YEP! He proceeded to go into the bag of toys and pick out the one that piqued his interest and when I "busted" him he just looked up at me all innocent wagging his little tail and almost "thanking"me for the new back to school toy.......

lmao.. of course who could get mad as such and intelligent dog! :jester:

The little old lady who chased & gave a stern lecture to some young punks who were being real little misbehaved shits at my corner store this morning.... I only HOPE to have the same courage & pounce as she did & dang did those boys sit & listen...But it did make me smile!

[Chad]

Over time this week, I walked into my special lady's hotel and helped myself to the free breakfast while she finished dressing. Ha! So me. Being asked to help her with her dress zipper and high heal shoe straps. Taking her to the best restaurants in town. It was a great week with her.

[Femmewench]

I just saw the bumper sticker I needed 30+ years ago when I bought a 5 speed Toyota:

Caution
I am driving a standard transmission.
If I roll back into you, you're too close.

I lived in dread of any incline greater than 2 degrees for the first year I drove that car. Despite living in Chicago, I could find the few hills where I was stopped uphill and not the first in line.

Taking a step back and looking at my apartment. Since I won't be moving any time soon I'm working really hard to make it a more comfortable space to be in. I got a lot accomplished.

Well, I got 3 compliments on my Simpsons tee shirt yesterday and I had a good workout this morning and I spent money that didn't cost me a thing today plus the babies have been adorable today.

Ordering my wedding ring. It’s gonna happen people!

[Reach *BANNED*]

Realizing that everything happens as it should and that leaves a smile on my face.

[RebelDyke]

I cannot say this one just made me smile, but rather made me down right laugh out loud.

So, it has been very rainy here the past few days and my little dog Pete really does not like the rain. However, when I took him for a walk it was drizzling but enough to make him want to shake off his wet fur. Fast forward to being done with his walk and as I stood outside the door un-clipping his collar he shook as usual. This time he shook so hard his long little tail hit the metal screen door behind him and he scared himself to the point that I had never seen a dog spin around so fast. Then, as I was laughing so hard at his adorable cuteness, he looked back at me and almost smiled back and continued wagging both butt and tail only a step away from the metal screen door.

Then we went in.

[cinnamongrrl]

Going to Barnes and Noble....

I had a hankering to read Walden by Thoreau.

Don’t get me wrong.... I derive IMMENSE satisfaction getting books from Amazon.... but the immediate gratification of finding the book and having it to read (I already perused the forward) is so.... satisfying.

And... I also got a magazine (Pioneer Woman’s ) and a book on how to make herbal skin care products. All for under $20!

Yes, I know. I’m going to capitalist hell. I would honestly rather go to small bookstores. That’s all I ever did in Asheville. They just aren’t as much a thing where I live.

RebelDyke,

Your post was reported.

This is a lighthearted thread about what made you smile, not a place to bring gossip about other members.

Consider this a warning because we have to time out if this happens again.

No response please.

Reach,

Your post was reported.

Reach and Rebeldyke, take a break from the smile thread when you are not feeling fluffy.

Seriously, next one who takes a swipe gets a time out. The boards are not a place to take swipes. It's tempting to post when we are aggravated (trust me, I know), but just take some deep breaths or address it privately.

Good for you! Driving in the Northeast is not for the lighthearted.

:blink:

[nycfem]

Reach and Rebeldyke and this applies to everyone as well,

As mods we have no way of knowing when you report a post that does not name names who the post is about. We can't read minds. If you post something that could be interpreted as negatively about someone else, like I've said before on the forum, please make a point to signify that you are not referencing someone on the forum and to be cautious with private jokes that could be interpreted as passive-aggressive. This particularly applies if you are in an ongoing skirmish with another member.

My apologies for anytime things are called out wrong based on reports, but please keep in mind that we are doing our best to make people feel heard, and members can help by monitoring their own posts before putting them up on the forum.

For Reach and Rebeldyke, my suggestion is that you both put each other on "Ignore." It was brought to my attention that "Block" would be even more helpful- but at this time we do not have this feature, so "Ignore" is the best we have to offer.

Thanks, and hopefully we are all done with this whole issue, and can just... smile.
