Celebrating Positives (offset of the Gripes Thread)

Yes, I’m parked in the car watching my daughter’s footy team splashing around in the mud and rain and getting beaten for their efforts. Make the most of the good weather, Marty. -
The roosters didn't have a much else going for them.

The smart two legged animal worked it out pretty quickly.

A lot of trouble to go to for something you could just climb over. Livestock couldn't get through it, and you still have to step over it while holding the rails down, so all in all it's a pretty useless idea.

If I'd been his caddy, I'd have tossed it in the bunker.

Trump tried to ambush Powell over the cost of the Fed Reserve building upgrades, but it didn't go quite as well as he'd planned: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-26/federal-reserve-chair-jerome-powell-donald-trump-viral-video/105574848

Well known personalities who have passed away recently (Renamed)

Felix Baumgartner died in a paragliding accident in Italy last week, aged 56. In 2012 he made a parachute jump from 128,100 feet reaching a maximum velocity of 833 mph (Mach 1.24). In 2003 he flew across the English Channel using a carbon-fibre wing. -
I might have to start buying tickets. I'm pretty sure I'm well ahead so far, but you never know your luck, and as OT said at least here in WA my losses would go to a good cause. I wonder if they're tax deductible.
-
He often sues, not necessarily to win, but to harass and punish the other party.
-
Now, where have I heard that before? GON, isn't it about time to let that perceived injustice go and move on? It's getting a bit repetitious. Whatever the merits of your claim, it's well in the past and you can't change it.
-
No he’s not. His making his rich friends richer and the poor poorer and sicker, all while trashing the economy.

I see it like insurance. Had the flu vaccine and covid booster about three weeks ago. No reactions. No flu or covid yet either so it must be working.
-
Wrong. You definitely can. Edit. Sorry Octave. Misread your statement. You are correct. You need to have been exposed to the herpes zoster virus
-
I had the vaccine about four years ago and had chicken pox (as we all did) when I was young. No reaction from the vaccine. I was told it normally costs $300 but free at my age. My brother who is about six years younger got shingles. Not pleasant! Can’t see why you wouldn’t get it if they’re offering it.

Don’t bother with all that. Just swap plates with the hostess when she isn’t looking.
-
He's certainly the biggest waste of space.
-
I thought she would get off because I couldn't see how they could prove intent.

Aren't they supposed to believe in free speech? Maybe put a photo of the first amendment on your phone.

This will never happen: "Only when humans decide to act together, as a single species on one planet, will our chances of survival begin to improve."

The US system of three supposedly co-equal branches intended to balance each other is really a system designed for conflict. When it gets way out of whack as it is now, it is anything but co-equal. When one of the branches is effectively one person who doesn’t want to play by the rules the system of checks and balances clearly doesn’t work very well.

Recent surveys showed that until a couple of weeks ago about half the American population had never even heard of the One Big Beautiful Bill. Seems hard to believe but then maybe not. It is America after all. A lot of people are probably going to be unpleasantly surprised when their entitlements start disappearing or become much harder to access.

For Trump it’s all about the fanfare and show that goes with signing the thing on the 4th of July like he wanted to do. Now he can brag that he did it. To him that’s far more important than what’s actually in it. He wouldn’t be across any of the detail or concerned about the debt because that will become somebody else’s problem after he’s gone. He’s had another big win as he sees it, and that’s all that matters.

The Significance of the 4th of July in Australian History

Time to get a new keyboard, Nev. -
Yes, it's a responsibility you have to take on when you have a pet. Too many people don't and that's part of the reason so many pets are abandoned or end up in RSPCA shelters awaiting an uncertain fate. The saddest cases are the older dogs (and other animals) that end up there because their owner may have died or can no longer look after them. If I get another dog eventually I may opt for one of those over a young pup that might well outlive me.
