I'm happy that I can come here and read (and occasionally participate in) discussions about issues in which both sides are presented intelligently (for the most part) without it degenerating into a name-calling contest (for the most part). This is a marvelous departure from any of my previous experiences.

Olivet, I just finished reading the copy you sent me and it's GREAT.
Happy B-day Sopwith and happy impending B-day Q!
I'm gay today because I've gotten to chat with Paul for 5 hours in the past 36 hours and, hence, feel very, very spoiled. to the person who got them those computers. Posts: 1548 | Registered: Aug 2002

Olivet, are you in one of the Hatrack writing groups? or another group?
My happy thing is that i scored on some sales yesterday. i bought a pair of "Earth shoe" sandals that were 100 bucks, and I got them for 40. My feet are a mess, and I have to wear inserts, but these sandals are great on their own.(cuz, try fitting orthotics in sandals)

Elizabeth- I am in a Hatrack writing group, or rather, a Hatrack writing group that was together over a year when I joined it, and ended up being bumped off the site.
But the folks on this forum who read my story (a longsuffering lot they are) are those who asked to see it after I posted a thread begging for vailidation. Posts: 9293 | Registered: Aug 2000

Olivet, please feel free to send it along. It's not the journey one makes, but the company they keep along the way. Posts: 2848 | Registered: Feb 2003

Olivet, I am also in a group that was "kicked out" of Hatrack. It was my "It is Our One Year Anniversary!" post that did it. Kathleen said no more group after a year. So, we stayed together anyway. it has been two and a half years. Liz

I'M HAPPY
My car insurance company just called. They finally got to the bottom of my problems! For you newbies the progression of events went like this:
February) Totalled my car on an icy road on the way home from a dog show. Traumatized the dogs quite a bit. Had to ride Metrarail to work for about a month.
March) Signed car over to insurance company. Insurance company was great. Got money back for equivalent value. Got new vehicle, a fully loaded 99' white Chrysler Town and Country Limited, perfect for dog shows.
April) The calm before the storm.
May) Recieved two parking tickets on the old car from the City of Chicago. Additionally recieved a notice of impoundment ordering me to pay $500. The car was impounded for solicitation of prostitiution .
June) Insurance company sends me salvage documentation (but it is all from the state of TX where the company is located), I send it on to the City of Chicago, the ticket division and the impoundment division. The ticket division sends me notice that I am not liable for the tickets (Also in June, buy house, have emergency gall bladder surgery 3 days before house closes)
July) The Chicago impoundment division sends me an official notice saying my proof of non-ownership is insufficient. I get on the phone with my insurance company (a bit unhappy) and they send me more stuff to send to the Chicago impoundment division (it is still state of TX stuff so I don't know if it will work or not but at least it helps me stall them.) (Also in July, come down with mono that I likely caught in the hospital when I had the gall bladder surgery)
Last Friday)I get a notice from the Secretary of Sate saying that I need to renew my vehicle registration on the stupid car that I no longer own. I get extremely upset and call the insurance company AGAIN and ask to file a complaint or talk to a manager because the root cause of the problem is that the paperwork was never filed to get the car out of my name. I mention the possiblilty that I may need a lawyer, that I've had an extremely rough couple of months personally and I really don't need this complication in my life right now.
Today) I get two calls from the insurance company, one from the guy I talked to on Friday and another from his supervisor. It took them three days of constant work to get to the bottom of things. They got the same run-around internally from their own salvage department that I had gotten before.
They finally located of the Illinois sub-contractor that effed up and the contractor was like, oh no, we haven't filed the paperwork yet. (I'm betting knowing the sleaze that goes on here, they weren't planning on filing it either, because of the expense unless they got caught. There is only like a 30 day window to file the paperwork normally.)
Anyway they are sending me the Ilinois proof of sale and I should have it by the end of the week. I will have to take it into the Secretary of State's local motor vehicle office myself, but the actual paperwork is being filed as well. And, I got a nice apology from my insurance company.
So... maybe just maybe this is the end of it.
I'm holding my breath for the next shoe to drop but at the same time cheering that at least it is the beginning of the end!

Elizabeth... That is so funny! I had been moved into the group after I met almsot all of them at Uncle Orson's writing class. I joined about six weeks before they gotthe boot. We have a yahoo group now, and we're all scratching away at novels (ever so slowly) so it seems a decent fit. I'm also a member of the online writing workshop for scifi fantasy and horror which is pretty cool.
Sopwith... were you asking to see it? Be warned, some people seems to find it shocking. Posts: 9293 | Registered: Aug 2000

I am starting College in twenty-seven days! That makes me happy!
My mom has started remodeling my room three weeks in advance. It is big and has good light, so she's turning it into a studio. In twenty-seven days, I will be a guest in my own house.
I don't know if this makes me happy or sad...

Olivet, I hereby crown thee Queen of Eye-Catching Thread Titles. (I seem to recall a past thread entitled "The Joys of a Freshly Shaved Scrotum" - that was you too, right?)
I'm happy because my friend e-mailed me. And because I finished one of the six big art projects I have to do this summer.
That last sentence confused me even more than the fact that there's a NUMBER in your name instead of an O...

Yeah, the Joys of a Freshly Shaved Scrotum, was one of mine. (It was a movie quote game, for those who don't know.) I think it was the longest thread I ever started, getting up to five or six pages.
Today, I'm happy because my kid is excited about school. Posts: 9293 | Registered: Aug 2000

What's up with all the old threads? Has everyone run out of ideas?
Oh no! All the new ideas are used up. I better get my last stories written up before someone steals them!

I wrote this almost three years ago. I have no idea what it is in reference to. I can't imagine what book I'm talking about. I don't even know what friend I'm talking about. I'm horrified I actually wrote out "Whee!!!" What was I thinking? And why is this memory absolutely, completely gone?
And thus we see the danger of recorded conversations. *muses*

Wow, that's kind of scary. I definitely just had the exact same reaction to this thread title as I had three years ago. At least I'm consistent...
Today I'm happy because the sun is out. It's been raining nonstop for the past week, so this is a big event.

Jane, you beat me to happiness is...no more rain.
So for me I am gay because the medicine the Dr gave my 3 year old really is helping her cough go away so that we both can actually sleep! Woo hoo!

I'm happy because I finally realized that I hate my boss to no end and will not continue to work here anymore. Now I have hope for a job that doesn't make my want to kill small rodents constantly! Yay...
