New Year Gratitude


Publishing this a day early so everyone can share New Year's wishes.

I'm grateful that this year we moved my dad into his place near my mom. Grateful I've had so many cool experiences this year despite very little income. Grateful that my immediate family are all still here. Grateful that I've made such a mental/spiritual shift so that I'm leaving the year much more peaceful than I entered it.

What are you grateful for that happened this year? What are you grateful for that's coming next year?

Party Weekend - Celebrating the 2010s edition



This being the last weekend of the 2010s (if you count them ending on the end of the 9), I thought it would be fun to devote this thread to your fave songs of this decade.

Christmas Day Gratitude


I know not everyone celebrates Christmas (my roommate doesn't) but I do and I want to send you all the best wishes for the season.

Grateful to this community we've built here. Grateful that my parents are settled and being taken care of. Grateful that I have a place to go on Christmas, and a place to come home to. Grateful for all the gifts I'm blessed to receive today.

What are you grateful for?

Hump Day Gatitude

                                             



The previous post has over 1000 comments, MK must be busy so it's time for a new post.

I'm grateful for the Winter meetings so that we have something to discuss rather than Smasher's pipes all frozen up. Hopefully he has refills on Viagra and gets the problem resolved.

Have at 'er.

Hump Day Gratitude

I'm grateful for the optimists, for they know that expecting the best greatly increases their chance of getting it. They know that preparing for the worst doesn't make things any easier or better if it does happen and just makes you miserable in anticipation. They know that optimism is good for your body. They know that optimism is good for your mental health. They know that optimism keeps you moving forward and makes you more resilient in the face of perceived failure. They lift the energy of the room just by believing the best of everyone.

I'm grateful I am one.

I'm grateful for the Toronto Public Library. I'm going to reach my goal of 200 books read this year and I have the library to thank for that. They provided me with graphic novels, e-novellas, romance novels, mystery novels, and thought-provoking non-fiction books. They also gave me access to the most recent season of Doctor Who, all the DC Superhero Girls movies, the music scores for Half a Sixpense and Come From Away, the old Leila Fletcher piano study series books, and so many CDs of music old and new. One of the best things about moving back to Toronto was getting my library card back.

Hump Day Gratitude


It's back! Your favourite off-season weekly post.

I am grateful to have seen my friend Jean just kill her storytelling night on Sunday. I've been working with her for almost 20 years and to get to see her upping her game with some of the city's best one-women performers was so gratifying. She can't believe all the positive feedback she's getting but I always knew.

What are you grateful for?

Party Weekend!


I don't feel right about calling this thread Saturday Night Spanish Guitar, or WTF JITH. That's Wolf and I can't be him. So I'm reverting back to what I called this thread when I started it.

I don't have the witticisms either, so instead I'll just leave you with my Saturday night contribution.

Not-the-Expos are your 2019 World Series champions!


Yes, that's Daniel Hudson on the mound after the final out. As lurker DrStoppage said last night, Daniel Hudson helping the Nationals win a WS is a fuckton better than Steve Pearce helping the Red Sox win a WS.

"Why didn't they put Cole in?" is the new "why didn't you use Britton?"

I am personally sad that this never happened for Montreal.

Anyway, discuss!

I know a lot of you struggle with chronic pain so I wanted to share this video. She does start the video setting an energetic space but even if you don't buy into energetic healing, the technique of tuning into your body is so valuable and will help. It is just under 30 minutes and I honestly believe it's worth your time.

Rainy Day/Postponement Thread




Howdy friends. Unfortunately the weather decided not to co-operate with tonight's festivities, so it's just us. Yeah, I'm jonesing too. Can't imagine how we'll survive between whenever Astros/Yankee$ is done and October 22nd, but we'll pull together and get through it I'm sure. Let's not even talk about the offseason OK? *Shudders* *Goes for OOTP fix* Y'all still there? As mentioned in the previous thread, this is the slapdashiest of slapdashy posts ever.
