Mike, I like that idea too. Serv, thank you for participating. I enjoy a good word, especially since Mike and I get pretty ornery sometimes. I gotta say I like the big cahoot!

Today I am grateful that the brick wall I exposed in my new house looks fantastic!. It is taking me a lot of man hours to clean and prep, but it is looking great!

Today I am grateful just to be alive.

I didnt sleep for crap, my throat has a tickle in it and I think I am going to catch a cold right before I have a party where I invite a girl that I have liked for a LONG time.

But I am alive, I am healthy, my family is all good and Im employed. Life is good..

Something to be grateful for on April 8, 2010-on this date in 1766, the first fire escape was patented-a wicker basket on a pulley and chain.

Mike, I love the avatar-it's eloquently primitive. (Probably the first time I've been able to put those two words together in a sentence.LOL!). I hope everybody at BGO is having a good day.

Just talked to a Mason tonight to see what I should do. He said, "leave it alone!" I was gonna tuck point it. All I have to do now is clean it with sure-clean and wipe a new sealant on the wall. I was extremely grateful to hear that, it saved me a lot of money. So far I am running about 30% below our budget and I think you all know how grateful I must be for that.

I could tell it was a nice focus of my new master suite when he was looking at it, he had that look of satisfaction to see such good work. The wall was put up in 1881.

Are you guys going to waste a beautiful spring morning being outside or do something useful like sitting in front of a computer screen?

BTW Good morning to everyone

It is a good morning! The rain last night washed away all the freakin' pollen. So can at least breathe today.

I am grateful that Sarge is entering positive things in this thread. lol

I love that this is the first thread I look for when I log in here and that so many people have made it a conscious effort to be positive even when looking down the barrel of negativity.

this is easily the best forum site I have ever been on.

Ain't technology wonderful, Sarge?!? I can only imagine. I drove on the Beltway only once in my life-on a Friday afternoon at about 5:00 P.M. God!

Mike, I agree, I look forward to this thread every day when I hit BGO for the first time because whatever else is going on there's always something good to think about as a result.

Heading down to Ocean City Convention for 15 hours of thousands of screaming girls. Photographing cheerleading competitions can be interesting!
