The Happiness Thread

No cone of shame?

 

Oh, yes. A big one. I left it off for her glamour shot.

A while back one of the members suggested a chewable medication called Bravecto. I talked her vet into giving her a script for it. Worked a treat.

 

I am so fucking skinny!*

*By which I mean I'm still very much a fatass and well out of the range I want to be in, but I've lost nearly 7k (just short of 15 pounds) in about 7 weeks, I'm not going insane, and I've still got more than 10k to go to my goal, but I haven't seen this weight level in at least three years.

Since I'm closer to 50 than 40, [edit: years old, not kilos or pounds or anything insane] that's an accomplishment.

Hang on, Ana wants to have a talk with me about the flavored soda water I had three weeks ago. She doesn't believe it could be zero calorie and thinks that I should be exercising more no matter how much my knee hurts....

 

Let me guess: You started eating Japanese food, right? Hard to be fat eating that stuff.

 

マクドナルド every day!

 

They have that there? Huh, the more you know.

 

One of the more common and quite popular places here. We even have one on campus at one place I work.

ETA: Den Fujita, the man who brought the restaurant to Japan, is famous for having said:

"The reason Japanese people are so short and have yellow skins is because they have eaten nothing but fish and rice for two thousand years... If we eat McDonald's hamburgers and potatoes for a thousand years we will become taller, our skin become white, and our hair blonde."

I simply post that for historical context, btw, since my education in nutritional science ended around junior high school, and the last course I had that dealt with genetics was during the Reagan administration.

 

There was a Japanese girl at my school who said that she always lost so much weight during the holidays, then put it all back on during the term.

 

A few days I lived with a little depression and anxiety. In these days, I put away the treasures (some heavenly prays) because of being busy with the internet. In the hard situation of sadness and confusion God took me back to the prays.

When I read one of the prays that has miraculous effect I got rid the troublesome condition and my mood changed into happiness and calmness.

Last night, when I got out from home to buy a shirt from a market center, I noticed most of people looked at me wonderfully-open mouth, and respected me very much, higher than a usual observation.

I don't doubt that I had an awful light from God. Whatever I tried to smile or show myself humble it was in vain and people encounter me with a kind of fear and respect. I even saw the shoppers spoke with me with a low and shaking voice and put their hands on their chest as a high respect.

Their extraordinary respect was not because of me; it was because of God's light that they felt in me.

Sadly, despite the mercy of mighty God to me, I'm a thankless person against him. I wish to become a person that God be happy with me.

After experiencing the miraculous effect of the pray, now I believe, if I want to move a mountain from its place by power of God it will be possible by his permission!

 

Now that I reread my previous post after two days I remembered something that I have to express. I swear to God I wrote it honestly and based on reality. It was not a baseless expression or an advertise for God or any divinely thing!

It happened for me without I be aware about the adventure. Of course I experienced this state earlier reading some other prayers (each one has a particular effect) but this one had the highest effect and sign.

I'm sorry that I had to share this extraordinary adventure with the peoples with different religions and believes; it was because of an intense happiness!

Nevertheless, others with every opinion are respectable for me and I don't interfere in their believes.

 

We all wax euphoric on occasion.

 

This picture always makes me happy and brings a smile to my face...!

 

What is the brick structure in the background?

 

It's an old outbuilding but is in need of restoration. Our home is very old, built in 1899, and features three outbuildings in total. We're having them restored next year.

If I can find any more pictures then I'll gladly post some of the house.

 

Is it your pet?! I recommend you to be careful about this male sheep. They are unrest. This is the evidence:

Hi all

I thought, this may makes you happy

'Now that is a great question. [TEETH] And you're quite correct it is a brick structure in the background. Anybody else?'

'Is it your horse?'

 

One of my favourites. We laugh about it now. I fell asleep at the wheel a minute, it was dicey for a while

 

The old favourite of @jannert before she wrote her book

 

I am really Cattle Kate. She never died. Beware....
