The Happiness Thread

Where's the Ghoul Worthington cowboy hat, and the Bryndolis fire sword?

 

The surgeon finally gave me the all clear. The 4" scar still sometimes feels like someone is sticking a knife in it but it'll gradually decrease over the coming 2-3 months as the internals heal up properly. The infection's gone and I can get back to active living again without fear that the thing will burst open when I'm doing something stupidactive. Also on the plus side, I can write stories involving first hand knowledge of the taking of a pound of flesh!

 

Does it still look like a mouth with no teeth?

 

Nope

 

You'll have to take a look sometime. I don't bite ... much!

 

TLC

 

Watching Christmas specials with my seven-year-old nephew:

"Hey, nephew Sam, Do you know those characters' names?"
"Who?"
"The three on the screen, Donald Duck's nephews."
"Oh. Hew... um... Hew... I want to say Hulu?"

Good kid. Definitely a twenty-first century digital boy.

 

I remember being that age. My dad worked for Hewlett-Packard in those days, and sometimes talked about computers. I remember correcting him: "Not 'computer,' Daddy. It's a BAT-computer!"

Those of you of a certain age will know what I was talking about.

 

Atomic batteries to power. Turbines to speed!

 

O.O big gem we have here!

 

Italy was worth it.

 

This makes me happy

 

So cute! That is how you raise a kid.
I suspect @Cave Troll will like that later on (although he'd probably prefer something less indie in nature).

 

Yes! This is good parenting!

 

Do socks count? I just got new socks and they're super cool!

 

At least baby in the cage has food and water. I worry about the baby with the balloon, which could pop and asphyxiate baby. If you like bleu baby, that's fine. Also, that dog - I hope it's baby friendly; at least those fishes don't bite (I've checked and they're not piranhas).

 

I would say they count, but you might want to ask an Icelander to be 100% sure.

 

I would, but there's only one left in the world and I don't know where to find him.

 

That is quite the conundrum.

 

Have you tried Iceland?

 

I called but no one answered.

 

You could leave a message. "Hello, Iceland? About socks: do they count? Call me back. Bye! Oh, don't fall into any volcanoes or anything."

 

Well... everything is possible

 

Odds that kid has a triple-6 birthmark somewhere?
