Has someone done something nice for you lately?

@lcastil1 ut oh, are the Plane fights in your future, like the RC Helicopters??

@curtise Same for me. Sometimes I get a little frustrated though when one of them complains that no one does anything for them. But when that happens, just means next gift (if at all) is coming from the dollar store.

@Keyeno @curtise I am typically the doer, that is why it is sooo nice when someone does something sweet for me -- even as trivial as a warm blanket. I am lucky to have a great husband and awesome kids (if you like kids!)..

@mikibell I only like awesome ones.

@moondrake Congratulations. Isn't it wonderful to feel so well liked??? It makes every good thing you thought went unappreciated feel worth it, right?? Very jealous over here -- I am too long away from retirement!!

@moondrake Happy retirement!

@moondrake Congratulations on surviving the rat race!

@thismyusername @dashcloud Thanks! Looks like my party may end up geting canceled, it's pouring down snow and 7am was our high for the day. We aren't built for freezing temps (desert southwest) so the city usually shuts down when there's been any kind of precipitation and the temps get ready to drop below freezing. Our roads are specialy constructed for high temps and relentless sun and ice up dangerously when it's cold. That's supposed to happen right about the time my party is supposed to start, so they may send everyone home before we get cake. So sad, I was expecting a big turnout from all over the city but now even if it happens I am sure many people will choose the wiser course and stay home. Of all days, this is the day we are doing our street count for chronic homeless, so my coworker is out in this, looking under freeway underpasses and out in the desert at homeless camps doing a head count census right now.

@moondrake Congratulations on making it! Enjoy the much deserved R&R.

@moondrake Congratulations! retirement is a phase of life I highly recommend-

@moondrake Congratulations!

@moondrake Congratulations on surviving long enough to retire. I know you have a to-do life list, and I recommend you get right on it. Take a few weeks to sleep in. From now on, Monday is the best day of the week!

@moondrake Did they cancel?? Or was it a blowout??

@BillLehecka Congratudolences

@BillLehecka See.. you just didn't play your cards right on that. When @jont was giving out 10 Build cases, you could have just stayed under the radar :) Except for @unixrab, I don't think anyone was "gifted" with the cases unless they said something.

@BillLehecka LOL, I really wanted some of those. I am going to be starting some communityart classes next month and they'd have come in handy for toting stuff around. Hopefully mah will find a few more boxes of the things to sell.

@moondrake Anything in particular?? I have 90 coming to me.. :) Of course, they haven't shipped and smart post takes FOREVER to get to our area -- not a complaint, just a statement of fact :)

@mikibell Thank you for the quotation marks... "gifted" indeed.

@unixrab This is quite creepy. If you watch the loop a few times, the people behind him add an eerie shadow..

@mikibell it's the creepy evil of @JonT

@mikibell Nope, just miscellaneous ones. Paintbrushes, paints, sculpting tools, jewelry tools. If you want to get rid of some of them drop me a line.

@moondrake Will do when they arrive. Enjoy retirement!!!

@moondrake Good news- @jseay65 is looking to get rid of a box of 30: https://meh.com/forum/topics/dear-meh-1

@moondrake I suspect that the word "built" will no longer be allowed at meh HQ... and I suspect that polka-dots will cause them to cower in fear whenever they are seen.

@unixrab I left that creepy video of @jont up on my screen and my children agreed.. very chilling.

@mikibell I think he's the devil

@unixrab jont devil .. credits to jon mcnair..

@mikibell looks right

@mikibell Did you get the email I sent? It didn't get kicked back but | haven't heard from you so maybe I didn't figure out your email address correctly.

@moondrake Oh thank you for reaching out.. I was looking for your response, but I did not get one. I found it in the default email and cannot see why I didn't receive it. Replying now!!

@smoo99 Merry January! My wife thanks you for getting that giant box out of our house too.

@bruinscbr I've had that dream.

@joelmw I think many of us has had that dream.

@bruinscbr My dream is they come and pick up that giant bubblegum machine.

@joelmw Awesome.

@joelmw I was trying to find something to blame you for in that post but could not... Just be blessed

@joelmw Don't worry about losing your man card for your post, we just cut a corner off until there are no more. THEN you lose the card. :) I get the cuddle thing -- my husband gives THE best hugs. They are filled with this unimaginable strength that makes anything and everything possible to face and to surmount.

@atravis6 Congratulations on your impending nuptials!! Moms are there from the moment you start to exist; treasure every one of those moments. Don't forget to post pictures of the cake, etc.!

@Stallion Perhaps there was something terribly wrong with the car?? For every moment I want to scream because my kids drive me insane, there are twice as many moments that they make me smile. I am very proud of the ethics and morals my children display!

@mikibell I appreciate the response and logical thinking, but the truth is that his car was a once in a lifetime type find. I was supposed to buy for $12K, and the new owner who beat me out of buying it has it on eBay and I'm thinking its going to sell in the $20K range. Talk about torture, just watching the bids climb and climb. I'm in a sad misery for the next 3 or 4 days until the auction ends. As for the kids, I can't agree with you more! Sometimes they drive me absolutely mad, but if you step back for a minute you realize everything they do is simply awesome and it is a gift to enjoy them. Life is all about "wants" and "needs". I have everything I need in life, its the "wants" that sometimes get your mind spinning, but if you just think back to your "needs" and realize you have them all, life simply doesn't get any better.

@Stallion I had that happen too. Lost $1000 I could ill afford to lose. As I moved 2500 miles shortly there after small claims court was sort of pointless. If it is recent enough 2-5 years likely for most states (oral contract rules likely) you could go that route to try to get it back.

@jimmyd103 but do you drink them?

@jimmyd103 she needs to tweak her flavor combinations, but just barely -- get that purple watermelon out of there and she might be on to something...

@Ignorant Did she tell you to ask me that?

@JonT What can I say? She's brilliant!

I love purple.

@jimmyd103 Sweet!! I have an unlimited supply of imaginary tea stored in the hall closet. My kids never thought of smoothies.. hmmmm

@mikey A guy did something similar at one of our favorite pizza joints. Its incredible what strangers will do, always thinking of how I can pay it forward!

@Collin1000 Yeah my ghetto van was backed into last year - no note. Didn't fix it since it was just body damage.

@tinkertime My mom is 63, and mildly ridiculous about having a very meticulously clean driveway. Even though we bought her one of the electric snow throwers from Woot two years ago, she prefers to manually shovel. She can't handle a gas snow blower, it's too heavy for her, but the snow thrower is too light, and she always ends up throwing the snow on herself, heh. Anyway, one of her newer neighbors makes it a game to beat her outside and shovels her driveway, which is a steep hill, and sidewalk. He gets upset when she beats him to it. "Darn it, Emily! I was putting on my boots to come out, and by that time you'd already finished!"

@atravis6 Nice neighbor!

@atravis6 That's cool, it's nice her neighbor cares. My Mom's neighbor will do her driveway if he is home but he works a lot. My Mom has several years on yours and she is mildy ridiculous about the way her lawn is mowed and still does it herself and wants no help.

@Headly I like Rush. I used to love Rush, but that was a somewhat different me--a me that's still there, but somewhat drowned out by the other mes. Good stuff in any case. They'll be in Dallas in May. I'm not sure if I know anyone local who would go with me. Though actually, again, not sure if I'm that committed myself. Sorry for the meh-ness of my support.

@joelmw I like Rush a lot. I've been a hardcore fan for 34 years. I'm this kind of fan: Tjg_UaFPA">http://youtu.be/Tjg_UaFPA I don't know anyone else that likes them as much as I do, and I actually prefer to go alone. I will tolerate no meh in my vicinity when I'm at a Rush concert. No you don't need a beer, no you don't need to pee. You need to stand there and revel in the glory or fuck off.

@joelmw Tjg_UaFPA">http://youtu.be/Tjg_UaFPA

@Headly The parser is broke.

@Headly Mad respect for this: "No you don't need a beer, no you don't need to pee. You need to stand there and revel in the glory or fuck off." Everyone should feel that way about something. And of the many things out there to feel that way about, Rush is far from the worst. It's a good one even.

@Headly So I tried the bit after the greater than and it didn't work. Is there something missing from the URL I see?

@Headly Well, anyway, I want you to know that I'm now listening to 2112 (that album is part of how I survived high school) on Spotify. I blame you. :-)

@joelmw Tjg_UaFPA Is the video ID I see what it's doing. it's *underscore*Tjg*double underscore*UaFPA

@Headly Got it. And that explains some of what I've seen with images I've tried to post. Thanks! (All that for a little video clip, but we learned something, so it was worth it.)

@Headly @joelmw This should work if you click here
And let's see..

Yep, you can force the underscores by adding backslashes before them like so: v=\_Tjg\_\_UaFPA
(and of course, I had to backslash the backslashes so that they would show)

@curtise @Headly Yet more with the learning. Awesome. Thanks!

@joelmw Got tickets for the Phoenix show - 4th row center, pretty stoked. Got OK tickets for the vegas show. Will be trying to get OC and LA tickets next week. Maybe Omaha and St Louis too. The last two are a total long shot...

@Headly Nice.
