    And talking about being depressed is a great step on the road to recovery. Can't hurt you either. Though talking to someone that you know as more than just a screen name, avatar, and signature would probably be more helpful.

    Today was partly sunny, 20 degrees, and still no more snow. It was beautiful! :D

    Yes, but there's never enough good news. All people ever hear about is the bad stuff.

    because hearing about other people's problems make some people feel better when they realize they dont suck quite as bad as they thought they did. Which is kinda depressing in itself.

    Good job, good pay, good friends, great wife and daughter. Just bought a new Volkswagen, just paid off an rrsp loan, the wife is making more money, life is great! The only thing that sux is I'm working away from home. Also the wife brought home the new car one hour after I left for work for the month so I have only driven it during the test drive. Can't wait to burn some rubber when I get back!

    This is the best thread idea in a very long while.

    For starters, well, i'm alive and healthy.
    I have a wonderful wife.
    I have a healthy and wonderful 4 month old son.
    I have my faith, which helps me everyday (hopefully vague enough to stay in the forums)

    I'm unemployed too but it's nice to think about what you DO have.

    I've got a mix bag going right now.

    Bad:
    Massive Student Loan in repayment
    Still broken ankle after 3 years of treatment and 2 surgeries
    Currently living with parents to keep costs down.
    Currently unemployed too.

    Good:
    Still getting an income of sorts with my work compensation
    Currently have an awesome girlfriend
    Have lowered my expenses to pay my debts back quicker
    Other than the ankle, no major health problems
    I'm halfway to paying off my Sunfire I had to buy two years ago after an idiot lost control of his truck while eating Taco Bell and totaled my Grand Prix
    Haven't resorted to selling any of my collection so far :D 
    Treated myself to an Xmas present since I know the rest of the year is gonna be tough financially. Bought a 42" Vizio 1080p TV. :D  It's the first time, and probably last that I'll treat myself to something so expensive.
    If I get a job here shortly, I'm gonna try to take the GF to Florida for Botcon for a vacation, if not, I'm not too concerned. I went to '06, '07, and '08. I'm optimistic that Botcon will be in the Midwest somewhere next year.

    Um, that's all I can think of at this moment. I've been kicked in the nuts a few times in the last 3 years, but i continue to grin and bear it.

    My life is out. Standing.

    I love my job. It's not even a job, it's...I dunno, a profession. A calling, even.

    I have the weekend off, and I'm happy about getting some things done and watching football, but honestly, I'm looking forward to Monday and getting back to work--taking care of my kids, improving medical readiness, training my medics...fuck, it's fantastic.

    I never have to think about what I'm going to wear that day, everyone has their name written on their chest so I don't have to remember them, my co-workers are hilarious (both intentionally and not so much)...I love it all. Plus, the pay is great, the benefits are out of this world, I get to do lots of other cool things (like jump out of planes and shoot shit), and I get a month of paid vacation a year plus all sorts of days off.

    Oh, and best part? I can drop the f-bomb eight times a minutes and it's TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE.

    And besides my job, I have a hot lil' nurse to spend time with when I'm off, a healthy social life, good health, and an extraordinary family. I have, quite literally, nothing to complain about. I genuinely believe myself to be one of the happiest and most fortunate people in the world.

    Oh, don't be modest--I heard you just met someone new!

    No, we're not about ganging up on people. We have mods for that. ;) 

    When you're 15 years old and someone you like rejects you, it's the biggest thing in the world. Talk about it to anyone, online or in reality, and you'll get a pretty short response. (Anyone who isn't 15 and lovesick couldn't give two hoots about anyone who is because there are far bigger things to worry about. I've done my fair share of telling adolescents they need to grow up. I would however draw the line at deliberately flaming someone before closing their thread.)

    Back on topic: I've just redecorated the bathroom. No longer will I be forced to shower in something that is bright pink and hideous. This pleases me greatly. :)

    Bumping the "good stuff" thread: Just passed my dissertation defense earlier today so, while I still need to turn in some paperwork and attend the convocation ceremony, I've now earned my Ph.D. And I'm going to spend the next week or so lording it over everyone and making them call me "doctor".

    Everything is pretty good and there's lots of great video games coming out soon. To be honest, these are the times I most expect the proverbial piano to randomly fall on my head.

    I am only quoting you to say that I love your sig.

    Congrats Doc!

    As for me things are all good. Sure somethings could be better, but considering what some people are going through I can't complain.
