I'm not at all thankful that my efforts in drinking rubbish slimline tonic hasn't meant I've instantly dropped a stone or two. You'd think you had to cut out the booze ENTIRELY or something.

The excercise for her Estonian class that my daughter asked me to help her do. (No, really) Just a coupla minutes ago.
The excercise dealt with an excerpt from a great ol' novel, in a very lively and funny style it's written too - and I'd really forgotten 'bout that particular passage, it made me laugh like crazy.

*The pictures of taps I found with google images, for an art project.

*The understandable articles I found on financial management/budgets.

I'm more mildly grateful than gushingly thnakful.

Get to play football tonight. Level of spam received has fallen dramatically (which perversely is also making me feel kind of unloved, wtf?!). Jennifer Connelly was in my dream last night. Am just about to listen to P Brane and lay on the futon before I get changed and leave.

I have a job again. It is boring, it is temporary, but it will go some way to reversing the one way flow of money for a short while at least.

Home from work and listening to loud music. This is good!

That's fantastic - although the father should have had to use the crane to get his kid out.

eleven months pass...

It kinda just occurred to me that Alan Bennett is still alive, which is a fantastic thing. I hope it stays that way.

Grasshopper, it is the nature of all living things to change, decay, and die over time.

I am thankful to live in southern England and to have avoided the worst of last night's storms.

- My beautiful wife and happy little daughter and every moment I am able to spend with them.
- Killing Joke are active, recording and touring.
- STEAK!
- I have reasonably decent health, a full head of hair, a lovely apartment, a dysfunctional but well-intentioned and loving extended family, a gaggle of utterly magnificent friends.

There are people with very real and very tragic problems in this world, and I am not one of them.

That when my 91-year-old step-grandfather died this morning, it was in his sleep, without pain. That my grandmother has a lot of supportive people around her.

four years pass...

I don't want to jinx it, but my wife has been feeling really good lately. Not just one of those 3-day serotonin benders, but several weeks of sustained feeling good, something she hasn't experienced in a decade. It's been nice to have her back...thanks, universe.

― WmC, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 03:32 (fifteen years ago) link

Very cool. :-)

I am rather thankful for a president with a brain.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 03:50 (fifteen years ago) link

I was going to write a long rather pretentious and rose-tinted post about how every day in the place where I live I see people who have fled persecution or war in their home country and who are muddling together in a small, rather unfashionable, city in a rather cold part of Western europe, mostly without hindrance. I was reminded of this by my son whose schoolmate is a child from the DRC and whose parents are dead and "didn't I think it was amazing that he has ended up here?"

But then I thought that makes me sound unbearably pompous and like I'm running for office and really what I'm thankful for is that I live somewhere where I can get a top class meal, buy a map of Slovakia, and get a proper Italian hot chocolate all in my lunch break. And I can get all this by walking down a path first walked along by the Romans and still traffic free after 2000 years, and unchanged for the last 130.

You see I still can't stop being pompous though.

Great answer

― Ross, Thursday, 20 September 2018 14:27 (five years ago) link

have you tried coconut/almond milk? been using that in my breakfast peanut butter banana smoothies.

― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 20 September 2018 16:05 (five years ago) link

I'm thinking more of the 99% stuff made from water pressed through the white of teh cocnut. Only started using it as an ingredient a few months ago.
Do love the liquid I drain out of the coconuts t5hemselves. & have been eating quite a bit of the freshish white both as itself and finely chopped as an ingredient in the stir fry curry whatever I've been making variations of.
