Hmmm, let's see, my father started work today at the restaurant i work at on the weekends (he's retired and bored out of his mind, plus driving my Mom bonkers, so I suggested he get a job with me
) and he really seemed to like it!
he's a baker, so he works really early in the morning, but I'll see him on the weekends he works.... and I get a hundred dollar referral bonus

Hmmm, a trillion dollars worth of business and they sent you $14? Hmmm, I dunno if that counts as good news.... They should give you stock options!

$14 is a lot of paper/stickers/ect! And I didn't spend a trillion... maybe like... $200
In a span of 3 months!

Yay! You must be getting very excited! I remember you posted the link to where you're getting married, and it was really beautiful.

So um, does that count as your bonus now he's taken away your monthly one?

Yeah I think I'm going to tell him to quit buying me lunch and lattes..and add it to my paycheck....HE TAKES SOMEONE IN MY OFFICE OUT FOR COFFEE EVERY DAY!!
And always brings back a $5 latte for whoever didn't get to go...tell me he is using his money wisely.

My good news for the day, even after only a one week's use of our new Sonicare, at my dental apt. I was told all looks much better (had gum surgery 3 months ago..yuck!)

UH OH... someone is bringing up negatives in the good news thread! As we all know, that is a BIG no no!


Now you have to come up with something else positive to make up for it


Karen, I am so glad you have revived this thread!


My good news for today is that I have stuck to my resolution of healthy living so far. Even though I had a hard time getting up this morning, I dragged myself up at 4:30 am and did my 2 mile walk. I felt great all day for it

I think I will go with that one too (although the thought crossed my mind many times today)

Oh and because I know some of you LOVE snow, it is snowing outside, which is good news on the global warming front, good for the icewine growers
and means that they will not have to lay off a lot of workers at our nearest ski resort.

Oh and my mummy is going to try and get some time off to come see me at Easter
so a good ending to a fairly crappy 'bad anniversary' day

This is a great thread!!! I sure know I need to find the good in every day! Hmmm...let me see! Oh..after not being able to get my sub to work for me all week (one day) he said he would work Fri and Sat. That gives me a 4 day week-end since Mon. is a holiday (MLK B-day) This makes me very happy!!! My MIL went to Arizona for Christmas so we will have our Christmas at her house this week-end here and that we won't have to rush to get home. She doesn't live too far away but it always ends up an overnight trip...don't ask!

For the first time in three weeks I woke up this morning and didn't feel like total poo! I think I am over my bout with everything that's been going around.

Uh oh, I don't want to see that hammer banging, so, ummm.....the cats were really good about not bugging us last night and I had a really good night's sleep. Now Wiggies is sleeping on the bed ad making his funny little noises.

My good news is that I've lost about 10-12 pounds since mid December, after my doctor DEMANDED that I get the weight off.


Secondly, I just got a digital pedometer and yesterday (my first day using it) I clocked in over 7,000 steps.
