I am stealing this idea from another board. I have enjoyed what the others had put up and I am sure this bunch could come up with some great things.

So what made me smile today was:

My Photo Frog came out to see me again as I was leaving to go to the store.

I told him to go hibernate and he just looked at me funny... :D (who needs anything else when you can amuse yourself)

Our little guy getting a chance to play with his great-grandmother makes me smile. Nothing makes her happier, and he's a happy little guy with everybody.

aaww that would make me smile too!

No kids here. found out Phil's cousin is preggers again with her fourth child... In like five years or so..

Seeing Obama get elected.:)

+1:D

also seeing someone help someone else :)

This pic made me smile yesterday. Kyle walked over to our dog (Valentino) by himself and started petting him. Our cat is hiding in the background wondering why the darned dog is getting so much attention. :)

Checking out a hot chick, and getting caught doing so (oops)...
...but then seeing her smiling at me first! YAY! :D

That looks like fun any day! :thumbup:

Awwww... The big Wheel 80. That was the first bike I ever crashed... Almost went threw my front window... Memories!

yup... it was given to us earlier this year and we just got it running over the thanksgiving holiday. pretty fun little bike and a lot different than what everyone else has at the track. its always fun to have something unique and old school. :D

Looks like some Tri action - what distance was it?

Looks like some Tri action - what distance was it?

That particular race was Ironman 70.3 Florida.

Way to go!

It happened just before christmas, but it continues to fill me with happiness each time I think about it, I can still remember each detail as if it happened moments ago ...

The look on my friends face as she unwrapped her surprise xmas present, her face lit up and in both hands she held it to her face and deeply breathed its fragrant smell. She looked like an angel :love:

I've known her for 18mnths and have been trying to win her heart from the moment I met her.

The following day she asked me out for a date and then she left to go see her family for christmas.

I see for the first time since then this coming Monday......
and now I'm petrified! :ohno: :eek:

Aww thats sweet.... Though... What did you get her? Flowers?

Good luck Monday! Should be awesome!

Umm well it was 4 small presents all wrapped up in such a way to make it look like 1 present and the more she unwrapped, the more she found.

But the 1 in question was a little cuddly bear that is filled with wheatgrains and aromatherapy oils. Once popped in the microwave for 2 minutes will keep her warm and cosy for a long time :)

awwww that sounds fantastic! I never heard of those.

*Snip Snip*

Wonder if that would work with a Build A Bear?

Websearch finds...

http://www.tableandhome.com/coolanimalstuff/brands/sootheze

I wouldn't recommend microwaving a bear that is not clearly labeled microwave safe :D

good link sunny thanks... I guess there could be some toxic chemicals in the other brands? Plus the aroma animals @ the lnik are cheaper when said and done.....

Your welcome!

Capturing the right moment... No Tootsie you shouldn't pick your nose... But your going to do it anyway

I had to google "Build a Bear" lol that really had me confused :D

As already said, I think you should stick to microwave safe products. Some of the gifts similar to these also recommend having a glass/bowl of water in the microwave too.

You shouldn't have any worries finding them. Have a look around, there's plenty of brands..

I would have gone for a hot hug but they only have a microwaveable tummy pouches that you remove and place in the microwave

So I went for this bear instead which is completely full of wheat grains

http://www.needapresent.com/library/images/shop/xl/1500.jpg

But if you're interested in these, you may well find these cool too. They're the same sorta thing but slippers

http://www.needapresent.com/library/images/shop/xl/1647.jpg

I got these for my mum for Christmas and she absolutely loves 'em when she sits in front of the tv at night. I'm half tempted to get a pair for myself :D

I'm going to go out on a limb here.

Reading posts on 250 threads and realizing there are people more weird than me. It almost makes me feel sane (almost).

LOL Well at least in the same boat...

Calling Gimpy "FAT!" and getting this kind of thing as an answer:

You would think there would be an easy answer to this simple question. Maybe I'm just getting old enough to have a lot of memories so it is harder to pick just one.

Maybe it is watching your daughter get married; holding your grand-daughter for the first time; being at the Family cabin in Estes Park with your family and watching your kids try to catch a chipmunk with cantaloupe seeds, a box, a stick, and a piece of string on the same rock and the same way you did, and your dad did before you; watching your grown children enjoy each others company (yes it will happen) when they don't know you are watching; beating lung cancer and hearing your oncologist say you're still clean, I'll see you in six months; taking your first long ride on your first motorcycle; seeing the tach on your '01 Ninja at 11K in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for the first time and knowing you wont have to clean your britches when you get home.

For right now, until the next great moment comes along maybe it's my family showing me why I'm the luckiest person on this forum when they gave me my birthday present this Christmas -

That is awesome!!

Though is Kelly in California? I think you need to push for Hawaii :D

Alex is in California though! Its a good place!

I love this line "Imput from the recipient may be considered if he's a good boy in 2009"

^^This post makes me smile^^ :D You may be an old guy, OldGuy, but you sure haven't forgotten the truly important things in life! ;):)

PS: My wife and I went to Estes Park, CO for our honey moon almost two summers ago. It's an absolutely gorgeous little town. <-- That trip made me smile (pretty much the whole time).

Simple question, easy answer. A mirror. Just glad to be alive.

I am sure there is a reason for that particular one.

glad your alive too!

That is awesome!!

Though is Kelly in California? I think you need to push for Hawaii :D

Alex is in California though! Its a good place!

I love this line "Input from the recipient may be considered if he's a good boy in 2009"

The premise is that Kelly may get to come to CA for a track day if the job allows. The nice part about this kind of gift is that it does not have an expiration date.

Now as to me being a good boy in 2009 - I may have to work on that.:angel:

Hehe!

What makes me smile? - At the end of most days getting to talk to my husband via webcam/chat on yahoo.. And talking about finally going on our first honeymoon on/around our two year anniversery of being married. He's going to take me to Busch Gardens in FL on his two week RR before going back again.

I'm dying to see the tigers there.. :dance:

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/24/103303683_54329bcf08.jpg?v=0

Yay!! Thats a long wait for a honeymoon! Congrats! That should be fun!

lol yeah, I'm still excited about it and it's 2 months away. Out of 2 years being married we've only spent about 4 months of it actually together. Since we're both in the military in different branches we were only seeing each others on the weekends if we were lucky. We were best friends before we got married about 2 1/2ish years though so being apart isn't that bad.

Well that's good. I am very happy for you that thinks work well.

I have been with my guy for 10 years but we aren't married... :confused:

Wow 10 years.. I made my husband propose to me after a few years and found out I was finally shipping off for the military.

I have been thinking about popping the question to him but I am kinda old fashioned and I want him to ask. We have talked (a little) about getting married. He apparently also has a ring in mind but its a very expensive ring and he isn't that rich... so that is the main delay.

Well good luck to you Sunny.. :) When it happens, marriage has it's ups and downs but I haven't had the chance to regret it.

Thanks Tor!

Well just rub it in, Kelly. You don't have to remind them that we live in Hawaii, with beautiful sunny days in the 70's and 80's year 'round, gorgeous beaches populated with bikinis :rolleyes: and they are on the mainland with the cold, snow and ice.
