The Random Positive Words Thread

Apart from a few old age incidents @sun rise is house trained.

 

[Orbit]

Two incredible posters that I neglected to mention. I agree, orbit.

And also, @Orbit -- I forgot about you too. You're awesome.

Aw, thanks ! I always thoroughly enjoy your posts!

 

[PoetPhilosopher]

@danieldemol seems really kind, and he makes great threads on international politics.

@beenherebeforeagain is my fellow feathered friend in crime.

You rang?

 

[Trailblazer]

@Trailblazer has good manners, and is very inspiring though I'm no Baha'i.

@Trailblazer tries to be inspiring but she is not a very good Baha'i.
Religion has just never been my niche in life.

Well you are inspiring anyway! Btw, we have a new cat we found at Tim Hortons. He's orange and we call him Timbit. So now we have a Samoan Husky dog of ten years, and a little orange cat. They actually get along with each other quite nicely.

 

[Aupmanyav]

@Aupmanyav may be one of the only Hindu atheists on the forum, and he has a lot of wisdom.

Aw, thanks, Snow White; but I was a dismal failure in life. One needs more things than wisdom to succeed in life.

But that is what you do in all your time!

 

[Dan From Smithville]

@Dan From Smithville was mentioned in another post. I think you guys would really hit it off if you ever responded to one another. But there are plenty of interesting folks here.

@Dan From Smithville seems like a pretty humble guy. But I think he's a good example of a theist that earns the respect of theists and atheists alike.

You guys are going to make me blush. But thank you.

Edit: I messed that up, but I think I have it corrected.

Hopping overtime.

Leaping leporids that's some mighty propagandaing!

That's great! A new addition to the family is always nice, especially when it is a cat! That cat will keep your dog company and vice versa.

You are hardly a failure if you raised children and kept a marriage together all those years. Imo, there is nothing more important than family, and that is even a Baha'i teaching! I am the failure since I had no children and now I have no husband so I am completely alone.

Maybe that was once true, but not anymore. People do change.

 

[Heyo]

I prefer to think of meself as a Turing machine made of meat.

@Revoltingest has a healthy dose of self-confidence.

@John53 can count up to 53 (with some support). And takes great photographs.
