April 10th - "Simple pleasures are the sweetest"
7Simple pleasures are the sweetest
Galactic Goat writes this as he’s wrapping up the last precious few hours of his weekend. Getting everything in order to head back to the office Monday morning, because…
As he reflects on his weekend, the Goat hopes this posting finds you all in good health and great spirits.
For Galactic Goat, the weekend was filled with work, wonderful weather, friends, housekeeping, grooming the fur babies, and even a little bit of time to just stop, look around, and be thankful for all he has.
Despite the aches and pains, challenges, hours of work, family drama, ups and downs…I am grateful for who I am and where I am.
Here’s hoping you can look back on some part of your weekend and think, even if it was only for a precious minute, “totally worth it”.

IT IS NOT MONDAY YET! It is your fault you are 3 minutes early on the east coast. Do not steal any of my Sunday minutes. I need ALL of them. Every. Single. One. : )
@Kidsandliz
@ruouttaurmind Everything??? Well then I have a disaster for you to eat… LOL
@Kidsandliz I am Galactic Goat, and I’m prepared for any disaster you wish to bring.
That goat pic was starred by @mollama, so being Galactic Goat, I’m obligated to accommodate. So…
MO LLAMAS!
@ruouttaurmind you get me, you so get me! That is my name.
I often quote the “Yay, I’m a llama again… wait…” (plus note I should be treated like an emporer/empress). I’ll have to add the “boo-hoo” to my repertoire, I like that.
I blame the goat for making me smile.
OK now it is Monday on the east coast.

@PlacidPenguin Damn you’re good.
@ruouttaurmind
This second one has more relevance that the first one to the thread topic as mentioned on my list.
@ruouttaurmind
@PlacidPenguin has either a remarkable memory, or amazing research skills, or an information repository I am in awe of.
@f00l
As long as @ruouttaurmind doesn’t talk about time travel and if one would go back to change a past event, we should all be fine.
@PlacidPenguin
But I already did that. I went back to the beginning of the universe, in order to make sure Nebraska and Kentucky got a total eclipse this year.
Not my idea of a fun vacation, lemme tell ya.
@f00l
I was looking at it more from a perspective of which Twilight Zone episodes would go with the theme.
@f00l The Gʊgle ˈfu is strong in that one.
@ruouttaurmind
Or maybe I’m familiar with Twilight Zone for several reasons.
@PlacidPenguin I knew it! These episodes were based on pages ripped from your personal memoirs!
@ruouttaurmind
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Remember: The episodes for Tuesday and Wednesday will be posted Wednesday night.
@PlacidPenguin
in the midst of all things we would avoid or have not happen
Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwoʻole - "What A Wonderful World"
@f00l Iz iz strongly represented in the Forgetting Sarah Marshall soundtrack, though I don’t recall this particular song from the film.
@ruouttaurmind
And that is a film I have watched more than once.
: )
@f00l
The remix is more relevant to today’s topic:
@f00l This is his most iconic song. I’ve had it on my sansa for many years.
@f00l Love this song Love pretty much everything I’ve heard from him.
@mfladd be like “The DARK SIDE dammit! I SAID GO TO THE DARK SIDE!!! Puh. Go. Just… go. You’re dead to me.”
@ruouttaurmind
Lemme try
@mfladd!!!
Dark Side!!!
Now!!!
There ya go. All fixed.
/giphy "DarkSide"
@f00l /giphy has been… well, let me just say maybe it’s time for /giphy to go on a written disciplinary action for poor job performance.

@ruouttaurmind @f00l Beware!
Goat: The light you are emitting saddens me. I had such high hopes for another evil goat - even though you have been an awesome goat so far - but, so much hope, love and light bubbling out of your Galactic ass. Not even any FUCKS!!!
ACK!!!
@mfladd said:
Uh, … sure. We face a great evil power here. I’m really getting nervous, isn’t everyone?
Watch out!
It’s @mfladd From The Dark Side!
Ooooooooo!
(BTW @mfladd: its so sweet that you think you’re a Master of Evil. Sure, Grasshopper.)
/giphy grasshopper
@f00l yawn.
@mfladd
No, I had to kill the pic. Sorry, it just didn’t feel right.
@mfladd
Awww. You’re really adorable, when you try to be evil, you know?
Have a nice nite.
@ELUNO Rats! I was holding that one back for a specific topic!
@ruouttaurmind You snooze, you lose!
@ELUNO
So Goats Emeriti should show no mercy to Reigning and Future Goats?
@f00l Of course not. No goat befriends other goat. That is why I was able to make you our permanent Goat Deputy.
@ELUNO
You were able to make me into “Deputy Goat” only within the confines of your Tiny Insect Mind.
So please keep your facts straight.
Oh, forgot to ask: how’s that Tiny Insect Mind doing these days? All good?
Besides, I seem to recall that you have been quite decent to @mikibell in recent times. So there.
@f00l I convinced at least someone else it was true
I’ve been good. Busy at work. But good. How about you?
Apparently I was horrible at @mikibell and sold off the Switch I was supposed to save for her.
@ELUNO @f001 huh…whadid I miss?
Somewhere in the wilds of North Carolina…counting the miles to South Carolina!
It is still the 10th here. Managed to convince my sorry ass to go work out again today. Walked 3 miles at a 3.7mph pace and used the weight machines. Don’t know if I should bless or curse this place. Bless the catholics (I guess), according to their newsletter I am one of the 37 “poor unfortunates” they gave membership to LOL. Now I am sore. Again. Yes I realize it takes about 3 weeks to get used to this kind of torture. @ruouttaurmind it is your fault it takes that long!
@Kidsandliz I know it’s no relief from the torture, but the Goat totally understands how you’re must be feeling.
@Kidsandliz
We who are about to sweat, and we who are about to avoid sweat, we all salute you.
