Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

[Queen Victoria]

Thank you for the messages.  The PR was focused on her "cold to end all colds" yesterday, so we had a relatively good day. 

[Lestat]

What do you mean WE had a relatively good day. You mean YOU had a relatively good day, because PR was sick, feeling like utter shit and thus distracted from the anniversary of her loved one's tragic end. That is a good day for YOU, QV, for the PR, it is without a doubt a fucking rotten day, feeling miserable and in pain.

To me that is NOT a good day. Its your taking her not being massively grieved over PA's death, through being too sick and miserable to concentrate on the fact.
There is, whilst I know it is not malicious in origin, and I know you love her, an element of nasty selfishness buried within those sentiments.

Get well soon PR, dear, sweet PR, I hope you feel better soon honey *tucks you in nice and warmly, with a fan beside you in case the fever makes you feel overheated. All my love, Lestat. *sends loving hugs and squeezes, lots of honey&lemon drinks, paracetamol, ibuprofen and laudanum*
Feel better soon, sweetie

Pa would be really proud of you both.

My Mom will be gone 6 years in a couple of days. My Dad 22 years right after Thanksgiving.

It's hard to wrap my head around how fast the time has gone.

I really cannot help but feel, despite classing QV as one of the members here I care most for, out of just a handful of members, but feel strongly that for one party to derive pleasure due to events changing, and the cause for those events changing or being different, coming from, at basic level, the suffering of another, disgust at this.

Especially for somebody I like as much as I do the PR. She deserves more respect at the most fundamental level than for 'a good day' for another arising from the effects of suffering upon the PR. Her misery is NOT something from which another's joy should ever arisel

All my love, PR *sends a tender, comforting hug, some nasal decongestant spray, jar of hot chocolate and my loving, deepest wish for you to feel better really soon hun*

QV, don't take offense from this, but it had to be said. I find that quite offensive, that ANYBODY would derive a good day from her being stuck in sickness and misery. It strikes me as disrespectful in the extreme, and also, quite selfish.

Found a 1940 penny in my yard

I really doubt she derived any pleasure from it Lestat.

It's just the lesser of two evils.
You can make a cold better...you can make someone soup, bring them fuzzy blankets...and as a parent you WANT to make it better.

But loss is something you really can't make better.

My son was very close to his grandmother, and on the first anniversary of her death I would have been grateful for a cold or even the roof to blow off the house instead of him being up for nights crying. 

I'm an aspie, I suck at dealing with my own emotions, and probably did a piss poor job at helping him deal with his. A cold would have been something I could have fixed...and dealt with my own grief after he fell asleep stuffed with chicken soup.

I agree wholeheartedly with IQ.

  My new can opener is very easy to use, unlike some I've had before. 

What brand and where did you get it?  I have one that I find easy to use that is mounted on the wall but it seems I am the only one who has mastered it,  so I get called to the kitchen every time a can needs to be opened.  It would be nice to have one that my wife and daughter could use with out all the yelling and cursing that occurs when they try the one we have before they call me out to open the can

Curious as well.

I have a manual one, kind of want an electric...but probably going to get another just like it.

Damn thing is easy to turn and has lasted 10 years. It's just starting to fuck up now and then.

My Leifheit can opener broke after thirty years. Till then it almost always worked flawless.

Some cute trans guy messaged me on my OkCupid account. Of course, the convo died after a while but I'm just happy enough I got compliments.

Reading more of the profile that wasn't just about nerd stuff and...It turns out the guy is pretty kinky so I might have dodged a bullet on that one anyway. 

edit- Also, didn't die.

Got my new laptop from work.

[Queen Victoria]

Lestat, I sent you a p.m.

P.S.  The PR is now asleep with the TV on.  Shades of PA.  And I am off to bed.  Neither of us slept well last night.

[Gopher Gary]

My momma's back!

['andersom']

My momma's back!

Awwwww, happy gopher cuddles.

[Walkie]

Nothing original to say:
Hugs and hankies to QV and PT (good idea, Hyke)
totally agree with IQ.  Hope Lestat apologises profusely once the penny's dropped!
Good to see S_B feeling positive!

must drop a bit of karma.

Pain in right shoulder seems to be back to normal level . Alleluja!
(meaning it's just bad enough in the morning  to make getting out of bed a bit difficult, but wearing off towards barely noticeable as day progresses)

  I've recently had pain in my right shoulder as well (tendinitis), and I know what a bitch it can be.
   Glad you're experiencing some relief, I hope it continues.  Did you injure it, or is this chronic?
