Hi Skippy, thanks for starting this thread!

Here''s something nice I saw on the LA Times website this morning... It''s a photo essay of puppies that were rescued from a puppy mill will be up for adoption before Christmas: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-12dogs-pg,0,2584538.photogallery?1

The pups are darling and their handlers look so happy!

Thank you for sharing this; I was going to post the adorable pic of the puppies but I couldn''t resize it small enough! Panda, thanks they are precious!

Ahhh, this is such a touching story about a Postal worker and a little girl receiving cancer treatments; bless their hearts.

So sweet!!!http://spotlight.news.yahoo.com/v/11210396

I think that Ally being back on PS and posting and healing after her accident is defintely worthy of being Good news!!! Plus her FIL is doing well with his cancer treatments.. Yay for them!!!!

Skippy, thank you for starting this thread. This is why I don''t like watching the local news, everything is bad and depressing. Good to read something positive!!

I''ve got one Skippy. I saw this on national news the other day and was so touched that these pilots were donating their time to help homeless dogs.

I never had a chance to contribute to this thread because my computer ate my response and I didn''t have time to repost, but I read this today and thought of this thread. I thought it was such a great story, with a wonderful woman pictured! So funny that she is in her 70''s and knows how to use ebay, yet I could never figure it out!

I am so glad she realized what she had before it was too late!

What an unbelievable match! Rollercoaster for the last 15 mins! I didn''t know quite what to do at the end until the flags went up. The room was so silent, everyone on the edge of their seats, praying to the gods of rugby... Unreal drop goal by O''Gara. O''Driscoll well deserved man of the match. I thought second try by was Bowe was so funny, where yer man went swinging off him after tackling. My voice is gone today. I''m still over the moon though - GO ON IRELAND!! WOOT WOOT!

 

[bee*]

I thought that we had definitely lost it in the last minute. I couldn''t believe that he missed-woohoo!!!! I''m so proud of them!

 

[Porridge]

I know! My heart was racing. I wish I was in Cardiff for it, I'd say the atmosphere was unreal.

In other good news, I caught a glimpse of someone elses newspaper today and the headline said "1,400 jobs saved for Waterford employees" but I didn't see the rest of it (it was the lady behind the counter at the NCT centre) and I can't find anything on the internet. Hope it was as good as it sounds!

Oh - and my car passed its NCT

 

[bee*]

ooh I hadn''t heard that about Waterford Crystal-that''s great news!

Yay for your car! I think that mine''s due again in July. Hopefully it will get through!

My daughter had been doing terrible in school, and threatened to attempt to drop out this past year.

Today she is on the honor roll, got her first job interview, wants her learner''s permit...and actually thanked me for being tough on her on the important things.
