We sure could use a little GOOD news today!
[Moderator mode] At the request of forum members, we've reserved a place here for all your good news news stories. :) [/moderator]
Horses for Heroes Quote:
Feel good stories are nice to read as rare as they are to come across huh?:thumbsup Could we have a yellow sticky place for good news finds to post? Sometimes I just want to read something good. |
Re: Horses for Heroes helping Utah veterans recover
I'm sorry for not mentioning the title sooner Chloe.. The idea you had for a new thread which members could place decent and good news stories in was and is still a great Idea.
But it needs the proper title so others can notice it. As it is now just a post about Vets and horses. Which is good. BUt the title has to say what you want the ongoing thread to be if you want it to become a sticky thread.. HINT to our great mods... :D So I hope they move it to the newer thread I will title as "ALL The Good News" And give credit to you for the idea. And I can hope they will move your post here into the new one.... |

All good news stories
Chloe PMed me earlier about starting a running thread about "GOOD NEWS" we find. She started it but the TITLE can't be changed...
http://www.politicalwrinkles.com/new...s-recover.html I think it is a good idea but forgot to tell here it is all in the TITLE... So in trying to help I give the credit to Chloe for this new thread, which we both hope is made into a sticky. And that requires as many members as possible to post any GOOD NEWS stories which might not fit elsewheres into this thread which was Chloe's idea. So please get on board and lets get some decent/good news stories posted, much thanks... :thumbsup Here is my first post in this "hopefully" new ongoing thread.. Quote:
There are 4,119 comments with other ideas on retirement and great living on the cheap at the bottom of the site. Thanks salty........... |
Re: We sure could use a little GOOD news today!
Now I'm :confused as I started another one for you... So please move what I started into this thread.... Thanks.

As should others... :D What held me back was I love America.. But the one I grew up in and fought for, not what is America today... A bunch of I want it my way and first, I'm right and don't care about others etc. etc. Not that what I grew up in or fought for was so great, as it was built on lies to. But... No let me place these thoughts in the proper place. Friends and I have talked about this several times, last night being the last time. And what I think isn't part of the "good news" this thread is suppose to be about... Now Chloe and Pat start that networking you women are good at and get others to post in this thread... Send them PM's... :D And please none to me... To time consuming for me... :D |

And I have started many threads but in many cases combined them into other threads so it became a post. I find it better to post to the members but target the many readers we have. Those threads have kept going and have gone far beyond what I excepted.. :) |

Found the following article listed on this site. It seems a Superman comic came in and saved the day.......... Today is August 16, 2010 U.S. World Travel Business Sports Life Tech / Science Politics Health Entertainment Armed Forces Hero of the Day Thought for the Day Good Weather Philanthropy and Altruism Environmental Success Stories Movie Reviews U.S. Author: Admin User Jul 23rd 2010 By Michael B. Dougherty Superman Comic Saves Family From Foreclosure In the nick of time, the Man of Steel saved a family's home ... for real. A couple facing foreclosure found the collateral they desperately needed with the discovery of an Action Comics #1 (aka, the Holy Grail of comic books) in their basement. As any true fanboy knows, Action Comics #1 is the most significant comic of all time because it was Superman's debut. In fact, the issue birthed the entire genre of the superhero. The fortuitous find occurred when the anonymous family began the painful process of packing up their home due to a bank's foreclosure proceedings. The house had been in the family's possession since the 1950s, which is probably when the wife's father stashed the issue in a box with some other, mere mortal titles. When they first realized what they had found, they contacted Stephen Fishler, co-owner of New York's ComicConnect and Metropolis Collectibles. "They said they came across a box that had magazines in it and some old comic books," Fishler told Asylum. "And that they came across what appears to be an Action #1." Fishler points out that "99.9 percent" of similar calls he receives turn out to be about reprints, so at first he was dubious. "They took a cell phone picture of the book and texted it to me, and I realized it was an Action #1," he says. Fishler is no stranger to this title, having brokered the record-breaking sale of an Action #1 in February (for $1 million), only to break that record a month later by selling another copy for $1.5 million. This copy will go on display at this weekend's Comic-Con in San Diego, where it will also be officially graded. Fishler figures it will garner a VG+ (Very Good) rating and should fetch upwards of $250,000 when it goes up for auction on ComicConnect. Asylum was able to get a reaction from the owner (who wants to remain anonymous), who said through Fishler that the family was "still a little shell-shocked about finding this book. I was so nervous when I realized what it was worth. I know I am very fortunate but I will be greatly relieved when this book finds a new home." Thankfully, it looks like they'll get to keep theirs. |

This is a site that caters to kids. Listen to the vid. What I found to be good news is the fact that this teacher has created a newspaper for kids that is distributed to more than 250 schools across the country. Very interesting and the paper is filled with stories and facts that children can understand.

Re: We sure could use a little GOOD news today!
You won't find a news story on this, but it is still good news.
A few months back, my youngest child decided to reduce her college class load to part time. Doing so, meant that she no longer qualified for medical benefits under my company sponsored health care program. A few days ago, she cracked a tooth. The dentist told her it was $1250 to fix it. Of course, as a student and part time employee, she doesn't have an extra $1250 laying around, and she told the dentist that. I told my daughter that since she was the one that opted to lose her insurance I wasn't going to pay for it. One of those "tough-love" lessons us common folk live. Friday, the dentist called her and told her to scrape together what ever she could afford and he would do the work for whatever monies she could come up with. I'd say another life lesson was learned --- about charity, compassion and relationship. After the dental work is done I'm going to visit the dentist and pay his lost income. He deserves it. |

Re: We sure could use a little GOOD news today!
There's a lady in our town who was diagnosed with MS and eventually had to cut back her work schedule. How does she fill her time? She volunteers as coordinator at a local charity that provides a host of things for the poor including: winter coats, food baskets, school supplies for kids, clothing vouchers...and there are many more that she puts together and records for the different charities. A truly amazing person, she's as "common as an old shoe" when you talk to her. She does nothing special according to her. And I forgot to mention at this point she sees double.

Here's some good news - yesterday I tried to create a "limited account" on the wife's computer as a security measure for the normal things she and I do - couldn't get an internet connection on it - spent all day trying to make it work - at the end of the day couldn't get an internet connection on the admin account - went back to work on it this afternoon - and here I am - not on a "limited account" though.

Re: We sure could use a little GOOD news today!
More good news that you won't find in a newspaper or on TV.
My eldest daughter has a full time job and also works on the side as a photographer. Photography is her passion. As a parent, I have always encouraged her to pursue her passion. I've told both my children "Do what you love, and love what you do". I posted on another thread that I will be traveling to New York City late September. There is a reason that I will be in NYC. I will be there because of my daughter. I will be there because I am proud of her. My daughter will have her art on display in a gallery in NYC. I can't miss that. I can't miss her first showing. And that's my good news. |
