It was a V4 game, meaning there are four races with 10(sometimes only 8 )-15 horses each and you have to get the winner right in each one to win.

Wiggum:"You have that much faith in me, Homer?"
Homer:"No! Faith is what you have in things that don't exist. Your awesomeness is real."

"I was thinking that perhaps this thing called God does not exist. Because He cannot save any one of us. No matter how we pray, He doesn't mend our wounds.

Ha...I was about to say caffeine. I don't drink much coffee but when I do it is AMAZING.

Is this intended as a thread for everyone's "reasons to be cheerful," or just a sneaky way to announce your grandchild's imminent arrival?
We are members of a 'Happy' forum, atheist, agnostic or theist, the operative word is 'happy', so what are your reasons to be cheerful?

Right now?  My morning coffee....ooooh, lovely, lovely coffee....

On a few moments' reflection?

My wife
My parents
My brother (LittleTheBlackJester to everyone here)
My sobriety
My friend Peter
Neuroscience
Philosophy
Theater
Douglas Adams
P.G. Wodehouse
Terry Pratchett
HAF, and oases like it
Relative freedom and security and material comfort.
Medical insurance
Brownies
ice cream
OH!  and ice cream.

My economy at the moment is... Well, it SUCKS.

That in itself is not all that cheery, but I don't give a f**k and thus, it is  :D

I bought a puppy for my daughter and fiancé almost 2 months ago. It was the runt of the litter of toy poodles. Just the cutest dog ever.
About a week into having him, the evil little 7 year old girl who I had told my daughter she wasn't allowed to play with, ran over and picked him up while he was out side doing his business. She proceeded to throw him high into the air and let him hit the ground. He was on the verge of death. The vet said we had to inject him with fluids 3 times a day because he was to brain-damaged to know to drink. Also said he'd give us about 10% chance of him not needing to be put down. It was looking very bleak.

But here we are, just a couple weeks later, and as far as I can tell he is back 100%. This makes me happy- but even better, it's made my daughter and fiancé very happy, which in turn makes me that much happier.

My car got its han... Eh... Wheels. It got its wheels on some 98 octane gasoline in stead of 95 octane. Now, it goes like nobody's business  ;D

Well, when we confronted the parents about what she did, they were beyond upset. They said that they've been having problems like this with her for a long time now. She was standing there smiling.
I used to work with kids that were too much trouble and needed to be cared for in a residential setting, and there's a look that you see in these kids eyes. She has it and I spotted it the first time I saw her.
Anyway, all summer (before this) she was always outside playing with the neighborhood children. Ever since this happened, the only time I've seen her is when her parents are getting her into or out of the car for school.

I've seriously considered giving them information on the place I used to work so they can get her some help before it's too late and she moves on from harming animals to harming humans.

Do it, it can't hurt and could litterally be a life saver.

Good, that. Asmodean, he likes tiny, furry things. He also dislikes seven year olds with issues, so good thing it wasn't Asmodean's pet.

For your consideration then, may I present Taco....



Is he tiny and furry enough for the Amsodean?
