Awww I'll just chime in and say I love my mechanic as well. He answers all my dumb questions too and never lets on they're dumb!
He totally under charges me as well. Last time I had to bring it in he didn't charge me at all.

The little biyeen and the little princess (my niece and nephew) both bring me so much joy 😁

I went to a table quiz and we won! €80! Between us, but still!
RE: I'm happy because... - cee_jay - 10-02-2022
Oh and I also had proper pints in a proper pub.
RE: I'm happy because... - Zaph - 10-02-2022
Don't know what I'm more jealous of, getting to go to a proper real life pub quiz or having proper pints.

Both kids got their first Covid vaccine today. We had to wait four weeks cos the eldest had Covid in early January and with the youngest turning 5 last Friday the timings lined up perfectly. No tears at all with the jab and we're off to pick up a takeaway treat and some ice cream for them being so good about it all

RE: I'm happy because... - Spears - 19-02-2022
IHB I've cancelled my plans today (because of the weather, which isn't even that bad compared to this morning).
I'm gonna take it easy at home, pig out on food and munchies, and just chill for the day
RE: I'm happy because... - Sephiroth_Dude - 25-02-2022
Two of my favorite little people (the little biyeen and the little princess) came to visit
and when they were getting ready to leave I was trying to make them laugh by putting on the little princesses shoes, the biyeen roared laughing and told me I was silly but the little princess was not impressed and scolded me 
and told me " they mi hoes hoes" and was showing me where mine were and gave me her cross little face look , I love seeing them, they both bring me so much joy.

It is my nephew's 7th birthday today so rang him to wish him happy birthday. He said "Thank you, I love you, thanks for my present and for coming to see me this weekend!"
I also booked my holiday for the summer. We are going to Alaska!

Just a jaunt over the pond to see my aunts in the UK for a few days 😊 A nice chilled out affair!
RE: I'm happy because... - Butty Brennan - 27-03-2022
ihb you could go for several Irish summers and not get a week of good weather like we've just had in March of all things! It looks like there's more to come too.
RE: I'm happy because... - ari101 - 27-03-2022
Well possible snow later this week coming too but let's enjoy it while it lasts 🤣🥳 I like these high teens and sunny days, nicely warm but not too hot 🥵🤣

I'm happy today that I got to potter around a few shops, pick up a few bits to use in my printmaking and that I got to have my first in person psychiatrist appointment in over 2 years.

There's a good few mink there now, it's really cool. No idea where exactly they came from, but I'd say there's a good chance it's ones that were freed like this

The problem with the banning of fur farming is that the mink still in captivity are likely going to be all euthanized now

Then they started giving off dangerous gases from the mass-graves so they had to be dug up again and burned.

They are used in expensive paint brushes, so they don't have to be worn.
