The opposite of things that annoy you

[b_dubb]

in the interest of playing doppleganger to the "Things that annoy you" thread ... i thought we could have a thread for things we like or appreciate or things we're just thankful for


here goes ...


i'm thankful for my dog and that i had the good luck to go to the animal shelter the day i found here.  i doubt she would've been there long.  she's awesome

[Eddie Coyle]

 
   I'm stumped...

[BobGrau]

Music, whatever ones personal tastes, is genuinely awesome.

(please god don't let this become the 'awesome' thread)

Isn't it **awesome** the way rescue dogs somehow know you've rescued them?

I'm thankful for the six dogs we've rescued over the last 19 years as well as for their more fortunate counterparts we've carefully selected from carefully bred litters--and for all the fun we've had training and showing them, hiking in the woods with them, or just hanging out with them in the evenings after dinner.  Almost everything I need to know about a fulfilling life I've learned from our dogs.

Of course you are! 

[BobGrau]

Almost everything I need to know about a fulfilling life I've learned from our dogs.

Except how to bury your own crap, presumably

a can of mixed fruit.

Canned Grapefruit on a hot day is the best.

[Scruff]

Great thread - today I'm thankful for my family - it's just one of those weeks where things are rough and you realize how lucky you are.  I know that's corny but hey, just being honest. 

I'm also thankful for beer and hot wings.

dogs are awesome!

[fysisist]

some, or even most, dogs are awesome.  others are a total pain in the ass.

most of these pain-in-the-ass dogs are made so by owners who neglect them.  also ... there are plenty of "breeders" out there who are really just puppy mills.  they churn out dogs that are riddled with illness.  when i see people with "pure bred" dogs i am reminded of all the dogs at shelters who won't get adopted because they don't qualify as a status symbol

[Lovely Bones]

Yep.  And most of them can be turned around with a little consistency and training--unlike pain-in-the-ass people.

     How this thread has turned into how dogs are cool, but humans generally stink...now that doesn't annoy me.

[b_dubb]

Hopefully this thread will continue to morph until we reach a poInt where we are all holding hands and singing (to the tune of Kum Bah Yah - sp?) the following:
  Humans kind of suck ...
  Humans kind of suck ...

[The General]

Humans suck.  Dogs stink.  And this thread blows.

[b_dubb]

thanks for being clear and concise General


i'm also thankful for being practical enough to teach myself some genuinely useful skills.  i got myself a new contract this morning.  it's a start up incubator with money from a parent corporation.  so i'm optimistic.  at the very least it's a paycheck and an opportunity to learn on someone else's dime

[Lovely Bones]

dogs are cool, but humans generally stink...

Ha!  My world view in 25 words or less. 

[Harmness]

Horsies rule.

[b_dubb]

i like pie

[Lovely Bones]

I like the ocean. 

[The General]

This is interesting.  I just came back from the ocean last night.  My wife and I went to the Oregon coast for my birthday.  We had blueberry pie.  And there were lots of horses. 

[b_dubb]

Uhhhhh ... there are no coinkydinks?

What, and no invitations for us?  We would have brought presents.
