Click on the descriptor for your current mood (i.e grateful). When I clicked it gave me all the other options to switch to. Does that not work for you Raging?

when I was a kid, one of my greatest joys in life was to record " goo goo ga ga", over my mother's cassette tapes of bob marley (I couldn't talk, so that was my recording)

then I'd play them back and listen to myself go goo goo ga ga. it was great!

I also used to have a toy car- the idea was you shouted commands such as start the engine, light the lights, move forward, and it would do what you say

well I just said goo goo gaga to it to see what it did

sometimes it just stood their and sometimes it did all the commands at once causing like a pretend roadaccident.

one of my earliest memories that

holding my newborn sister in my arms

she was so cute, and little and frajile... I don't know about you, but holding a newborn in your arms is one of the greatest joys in life.

and they have that lovely baby smell to them as well

yesterday I was talking to someone and she said to me that she learned to walk by the age of 1

I'm like that's great, alisha. that's great

she's like: I know it is. if I ever had a dating profile I'd put in it that I'd been walking for 19 years before I say anything else.

okay, I guess if that's what you want people to know about you... not about your looks or your interests or what you're after, hjust, "I've been walking for 19 years."

she then said to me I feel so exhausted- and I replied well if you've been walking nonstop for 19 years I'm really not surprised

another memory:

my sister used to play a card game with me called the old maid (the idea was to find matching pairs, so 2 bakers, 2 artists, 2 postmen, etc), but if you ended up with the old maid in your hand, you lost the game.

one day she came in and told me we couldn't play the game
I asked her why, and she replied

"well, because I've lost the old maid card."

yep... playing a game called the old maid without the maid... quite difficult

My doctor put me on a new medication for depression (I don’t remember which one - it’s been years ago now) and it was rather sedating. I sat down on the couch with a bowl of Lucky Charms cereal and got to about the second spoonful when I dozed off. I woke up to an empty bowl and my dog, who had been sitting at my feet, wearing Lucky Charms. His expression was priceless (poor dog) and he never sat at my feet again. He’d sit beside me but never in front.

I'm not sure I've shared this one (at least not in this thread), but one day when I was going to the shop I met this man raising money for charity who had absolutely no interest in what he was doing

I went up to him and asked what his charity was about and he goes "dogs", nothing more, just dogs. I told him I liked dogs and he said, "I like dogs", and when I asked hhim his favorite dog, I like labradors, he said he liked labradors too.

I went in to get my shopping, and when I came back out he was still their

turned to me and went... "I like labradors"

as I walked back I couldn't help wonder if he was just payed to say he liked labradors, but not actually know what a labrador was. If I said I liked cats, or I liked birds, would he just copy me?

today when I was shopping, a woman was playing what seemed to be an air raid cyren on her phone. I pannicked for a split second, before I heard heavy guitar music and she goes... oh don't worry, I'm just listening to disturbed.

I did see the funny side eventually

stressfull at first, and caused me some anxiety, but after I'd got the shopping home I laughed about it

I get angry a lot about how my mother treated me as a kid

one day I typed in google, "I hate my mummy", just to see what came up.

and the first result was this youtube video

which makes me chuckle

I grew up in S Calif but never went surfing. I went to college in Colorado and did learn to ski. One summer my college roommate and I were visiting my mom in California and went surfing. We rented to board and the wetsuits and as we were loading the truck, the shop guy came running out saying" you forgot the wax!" We hopped in the truck and went to the beach, got everything ready, looked at the wax, shrugged out shoulders and started industriously waxing the bottom of the surfboards. We didn't figure out until much later that you wax the tops of surfboards in order to stick on better and the bottom of skis to make them go faster.

I see now that most mistakes just wind up making a good story later and that's about how important they are. It's good to be reminded of that.

I was eating lunch at a cafe. A couple was sitting not far from me. The husband suddenly sneezed very loudly. His wife feigned shock while making eye contact with me and said: "Hey! What are you doing?! You scared that poor woman over there!!" I replied: "Yes, I'm sitting here shaking...I'm SO delicate!" Random interactions like that with strangers make me smile
