Do you think that's because people think what made them happy has to be something different that stands out? It does say 'What made you happy today' rather than 'what makes you happy' Not saying it would get more response

but it's a bit more general. Also we tend to vent more about things that upset us to get it off our chests rather than talk about the things that are making us content/lightly happy most of the time.

Isn't that a good thing? Why shouldn't people be happy and positive? You almost sound like you're kind of jealous or bitter here of other peoples lives.

what made you happy today might get less responses, but I tend to think 'what makes you happy' would die out even faster than the original title. once 30 or so people respond to it, that'd be it. I like the original thread title better though

Yeah I can see the current title would keep it going longer.

The reason it's so active is it's like the same 5 people using it as a daily vent journal, & they all reply to one another's respective gripes.

In the multitudes of issues my brother has been having living on his own that is now requiring him to stop doing that, he does not budge on my parents telling him to stop. So, when I told my dad that eventually I'd have to go down with him the next time there's an issue, and drag him home myself.

Now, when he said he thinks that he'd be more receptive to me telling him to get out of that town, I'm not sure if I should be happy or confused, since I feel like I don't have myself entirely together either.

I’ve developed an odd habit of sticking the lead part of my pencils in my mouth whenever I’m thinking about something and I have one in hand.
I know it isn’t actual lead (it’s graphite) but will doing that be bad for me in the long run? I wonder.

*IndigoErth* · 10-24-2017, 09:07 PM

Saw the add for the Little Tikes "My First Drone". Just me, or does that not sound like a great idea? lol

I mean, the whole commercial has the kid playing with it indoors. Great! Now everything you put out of reach so they couldn't break it, they can now break!

*Utrommaniac* · 10-24-2017, 09:13 PM

There are so many more ways that could go wrong, and the Barbie Flutterbye Fairy really illustrates why. By putting the "bye" in "Flutterbye".

*IndigoErth* · 10-24-2017, 10:46 PM

That first one... She's all "Screw this family!" and throws herself into the flames. The second is prob flying past Mars by now. lol

*Utrommaniac* · 10-24-2017, 10:51 PM

I try to set my Flutterbye Fairy videos few and far between, because I got a scratchy throat laughing so hard at these two

*Utrommaniac* · 10-25-2017, 10:40 AM

I hope it stays cold enough for an Over the Garden Wall binge watch sometime soon. At least in the afternoon, it's good and chilly at night, when I would ideally watch it.

It's that time of year, darn it!

~~Vegita-San~~ · 10-25-2017, 06:05 PM

I first heard 'Easy Peasy' mentioned for the first time in a long time on dragonball super last year. Now I've heard it three times in a few months. weird.

*IndigoErth* · 10-25-2017, 06:26 PM

When you take a baggie of veggie chips to work for something to eat at break, but it's mostly just broken pieces and, due to the colors, it looks a lot like you took a bag of potpourri to snack on.

*Utrommaniac* · 10-25-2017, 06:28 PM

All this time I've had a TMNT OC named "Garaon", and I still haven't made a "Gaston" joke with it. (Though he's more of a Lumiere...)

Also, I thought about the Bridge to Hawaii in BoJack Horseman and I realized...there is absolutely no way that thing was completed in a year's worth of time. It's taken most of my life for I-35 to be worked on in Texas and it STILL isn't done. And a bridge from LA to Honolulu would be much, much bigger than I-35 is.

And it's a two-lane bridge at that...which makes things a lot worse for travel

I always thought unicorns were real.

*Utrommaniac* · 10-26-2017, 09:34 AM

Excuse me, while I try to not to put down the entire first verse of The Last Unicorn

But

What would be awesome would be is if ancient people had some kind of belief in its meat or other parts having some kind of power if used or consumed (certainly wouldn't be the only time that would happen), then managed to carry over into stories of magical horned beasts.

*ProphetofGanja* · 10-26-2017, 11:03 AM

I think some of the tales of unicorns originate from goats born with mutations, giving them a single horn in the center of their head rather than two on either side. Don't have time to find the article just now though.
