I won my trial. This is my 1000th post. I think the guy I’m in love with is going to ask me to marry him.* 
*not necessarily in order of importance
Anybody else have three (or four or one or 40) good things they’d like to share with the class?

My wife sleeps around,
My back has been hurting,
I don’t make enough money.
But you know me, I can’t complain!

Congrats, jodih
As for me:
After buying the ISong CD-Rom, and with 1 month of constantly working at it, I’ve finally learned how to play Cream’s version of Crossroads…man I love that song
I got a body fat test taken again, last year at this time 185 lbs, 23 % fat, today 170 lbs, 5% fat. All this hard work has really been paying off…for the first time in my life I can’t wait for summer.
I have yet to post in a thread started by MM/M2Lepton
Trying is the first step to failure
I would humbly suggest that to many of the men on this board, that is only two good things. But congratulations anyway.

My midterm was cancelled today, I get to go to a sold out boxing fight tomorrow night and I got a new car a month ago.

Cool news, Jodi! Make sure you let us know when he pops the question; we’ll throw a HUGE board party for you and him!
Let’s see, now: after a year and a half, I still like my job, and I’m glad as hell I left teaching. I’ve got a wonderful wife who loves me completely; and it’s almost the time of year to start working in the garden, going on bike rides, and playing softball. (Well, here in MD; definitely not true up there in Montana!)
I’ve got three good things.
1) I’ve lost 30lbs and am keeping it off.
2) I found out I do not have tecticular cancer.
3) Baseball season is about to begin!
(fingers crossed for jodih!)
because today is about 500% better for me than yesterday was I actually have three good things to add:
My husband is at work so I ran to Weinerschnitzel for a “non-grownup” meal.
The new issue of Yahoo came today AND I got my car washed.
Best of all, I got to speak with someone I was really worried about and clear up a lot of negative thoughts. (I will actually get some sleep tonight – huzzah!)
Love stinks! (Yeah, yeah!)
Wondeful news! Though of course you are abundantly aware that that the 1K post thing ain’t exactly a testament to mental health.
Oh, heckers, neither are love, aspiration or companionship. Practicality has its uses but it sucks for rejoicing. You’re in love and loved, you turned 1K on the board and you did good work.

Here’s at ya, kid.

I get to see my sweetheart in 7 days!
The weather is beautiful here and I’ve been on a few bike rides already. (RTF, one was a fifty miler! My second ride of the season.)
I’ve started lifting weights. This is really the first serious attempt I have ever made at it. It feels great!
Mike Mulligan had a steam shovel,
a beautiful red steam shovel.
Her name was Mary Anne.
1)Both of my kids went to bed tonight at the same time, with no hassle.
2)My husband is finally getting to do something he’s wanted to do for a while–jam at Cisco’s in Detroit (it’s open jam tonight)
3)I just ate half a box of Girl Scout peanut butter patties, by myself, and they were good.
4)Wally’s back.
I know, that’s four. But hey, it’s been a good day!
This space blank, until Wally thinks up something cool to put here.
I can still breathe
I can eat whenever I want
I have a nice warm bed to sleep in vs. the cold hard ground.
Find my shape by the moonlight, why my thoughts aren’t so clear.
ok, well, 1.had a great evaluation at work,2. met someone that wants to “take” me away don’t know from what, but I can make it work. 3. Hell I am still here!
I think I’m doing good at my new job! I feel like I am where I should be for my experience or maybe even better and doing better then some others that were in my training class. I was worried, but I wanted it bad. As usual though, other things are going worse… I just cant seem to get EVERYTHING going up! LOL 
Congratulations in advance, jodih!
As for me–
1- My own SO and I are growing closer & closer and I’m truly happy in the relationship.
2- My job actually doesn’t suck a lot of the time.
3- I’m healthy, able to support myself, and surrounded by good friends.
Thank you, jodih, for starting this thread… makes me realize how lucky I am! I vow not to bitch about anything for at least a day or two.
Gamera is really neat, he is full of turtle meat, we’ve been eating Gam-er-aaaa…
By God, Jodi, he’d better treat you right!
Whoops! Celebrated Jodih’s good news but didn’t share any of my own…
Blessed beyond imagination or deserving,
Veb
Gosh, you guys are sweet – thanks all.
But I feel I must clarify: I think Ben is going to pop the proverbial question at some point in the foreseeable future because he’s asking things like, “If we were to get married, where would we get married?” (meaning, his home state or mine), and “what kind of rings do you like?” I don’t think this is going to happen in the next few days or even weeks, so ya’ll can put that champagne back on the shelf. And, Wally, he treats me very well, and if he ever doesn’t, I’ll direct him here and you can “Putz” him.
Glad to hear that other folks are doing well, or at least putting a positive spin on ‘okay’.

That is still excellent expectations jodih!!
spooje, for not having cancer, and for kelli’s mom being well, and Wally being back
My oldest son drove back to college for the first time by himself, and was fine.
My chinese plum tree is blossoming, it is SO beautiful, like tiny purple kisses all over its branches!
My ankle is finally healing enough, that I think I can go back to the gym on Monday, it’s been a month, and I’ll have to start all over, but, at least it wasn’t broken.
