The Happy Thread

[Sully]

My friend is finally coming back from a 2 year religious mission later today~

 

[Froggy]

A coworker of mine agreed to pick me up from and drop me off at home for work everyday. This'll make things a lot easier for me. This is the first good thing I can think of happening to me in a while.

Smiling actually evolved from when animals bear their teeth.

In other words it's a defense mechanism for feeling vulnerable.

When your happy you're actually vulnerable and can torn apart from it

 

[Jasou]

@Psycho: That's pretty cool, didn't know that.

I am happy because my sister is back from her trip

 

[Rubyiris]

I'm happy because I've been getting my hands on better and better audio equipment.

 

[Rubyiris]

Holy **** your avatar is adorbs.

 

[Claire Diviner]

So it turns out I got a direct deposit of roughly 200 dollars from seemingly out of nowhere. When I called my bank, they told me the source of the deposit, and the money's legit, so now I have 200 dollars for the rest of the month. Now I can do groceries and pay off some debt. :3

 

[LoliLovesRain]

Holy **** your avatar is adorbs.

Thank you :3 It just so happens i do the same pose!

Also, I'm EXTREMELY happy right now because my fluttershy sold for 102 dollars :3 ANNNNNND I just listed my rainbow dash plush :3

 

[Teran]

THE HULK IS PRETTY HAPPY BECAUSE TERAN IS ALMOST READY BROTHER.[COLLAPSE="[img]lolololololololololololoolblankpost[/img]"][/COLLAPSE]

 

[Claire Diviner]

Oh? So we can expect the return of Teran? That is pretty happy news, assuming that's the case, though I will miss Hulk Hogan.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

For some strange reason, people on the internet thought it was the date Marty traveled to in Back to the Future.

I can tell you now, it's not. The day is wrong, the month is wrong, and the year is wrong.

Oct. 21 2015 is the actual date.

I used to joke it was only X# of years until flying, clean energy cars.

So yeah. Doc still has 3 years to be proven right

 

[Sizzle]

I'm in Japan and rode a shinkansen for the first time. Now I'm sitting at my host family's house after a year of being back in America, and it feels like I never left.

 

[rinisan]

That's what I'm saying, the hot guys come out at night, they drink and they have fun... Woohoo!

 

[Shorts]

Yay the babe Teran is back. That alone is reason enough to post in the happy thread.

Life doesn't suck, that's another reason.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

After gaining 2 lbs this week (oh family vacation......why must you tempt me to eat delicious foods), I am determined to lose some weight and get fit. I don't weigh a lot, honestly.....I just kind of haven't cared enough since I started college

So yeah, determination! Calorie counting, working out, and healthy foods <3

And I'm honestly mostly doing this to get fit and have muscle and be super healthy

 

[Rubyiris]

don't bother with calorie counting. just stop eating wheat, beans, sugar, and starch. Problem solved.

Oh, and working out? If you really don't like it, don't bother with that either. It will make you healthier, and more fit, yes, but it will make very little difference on your weight.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

I'm not doing this just for weight - I'm trying to increase overall metabolism, muscle strength, and get back into the routine I had when I played soccer in high school. I hate cardio, but I need to do it. I like how I feel after workouts - tired but accomplished <3

Plus summer means swimsuits, and swimsuits means I need to have a beach bod. :3 bahaha

Calorie counting is mostly to scare me from eating like a typical college kid
Guilting myself to put down the snacks

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

In high school I could bench press 200 lbs. Which may not sound like much to you, but I weighed less than 115 lbs. back then.

Now, I weight 150 lbs (Which is probably a lot more normal for my body) but I doubt I could bench press much past 150...

...

 

[Shorts]

I could never benchpress anything, and I've never weighed more than 130.

You don't need to put down the snacks; You need to lower your carb intake, and increase your fat/protein levels. If you plan on eating any complex carbs whatsoever, ONLY do it immediately after a hard workout to repair your muscles.

If you want to boost metabolism, do intervals immeiately after waking up, and just before bed. Also, consider intermittent fasting. During an intermittent, or temporary fast, your bodies metabolism is boosted by around 75%, on top of the boost from increased activity levels

Would a full, authentic replica of the "Tom Servo" puppet be a good buy at $250 if you are a fan of MST3K?

I'm impressed.

So on Monday, my Grandpa was awarded the bronze star among other things for his services in WWII. It was a pretty big deal. A colonel and a retired general showed up for this along with a bunch of other people. It got on the front page of the local newspaper too.

[Chronodiver Lokii]

That's really awesome :o congrats to him x3 thats a great honor!!

Recently, my boyfriend and I have reconnected with a friend that we had a less than perfect falling out with a few years back
Its really cool to see how stuff between all of us, despite the drama of a few years ago, hasn't changed much. It really goes to show that we were good friends. This is only my second time hanging out with him since the drama, but it feels like we just kinda picked back up where we left off. Nostalgia and lots of happiness.

 

[Teran]

I never even do flat barbell bench presses.

 

[Jasou]

Finally got out of the house again. The beach was really nice.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

The last of my extended family from Ohio is leaving this morning. It's a little saddening to see them go, but I'm glad that they came. I got to watch one of the most amazing fireworks shows put on with them, too. Two hours solid of top end stuff...put on by my old neighbors in the cul de sac that my parents lives in. It was incredible.

So three days ago, my girlfriend's father (who was a Navy Seal, and fought in Gulf War in the 1990's) finally got his replacement for his lost Purple Heart, and he went around showing it off. It was heartwarming, cute, and inspirational to see him be all excited about that. He definitely deserved it fighting in that hell hold in Kuwait and being taken prisoner and serving our country so admirably. Fortunately for his sake, he was only a POW for a few hours, and didn't even reach a prison.

@ Chronodiver Lokii
If you want to exercise, I suggest simply walking at a maximum incline on a treadmill, swimming, and jumping rope to burn a ton of calories.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

Aww : ) that's really heartwarming. He deserves to be proud for his work.

Thanks for the advice
Sounds like fun workouts
SWIMMINGGGGGG

 

[Teran]

I say do weights girl, the stronger your muscles the more calories you burn by doing absolutely nothing.

Don't worry about becoming some sort of amazon beast, you won't, not unless you take steroids or something.

 

[LoliLovesRain]

Lifting weights is good I heard~

Also, just finished my Pinkamena plush and got to use smooth minky for the first time :3

[Claire Diviner]

That's a pretty impressive-looking plush.

 

[LoliLovesRain]

Thanks I wanna use minky more often :3 It felt sooooo nice xD

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I got finger picks for guitar.

They look awesome but are kind of hard to use.

Finger picks are NOT made primarily for guitar
