Good News, Bad news

[jseal]

The bad news is that those Fall-like days are part of this Spring

[dicksbro]

The good news is that ... this, too, will pass. :)

[jseal]

The bad news is that these Summer-like days are part of this Spring

[dicksbro]

The good news is that the cooler days and nights we've had recently are rather refreshing ... if a bit surprising.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that our refreshing temperatures are going to slip away again and warmer days lay ahead.

[jseal]

The good news is that the cooler days and nights we're are forecast to last here through to the weekend.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that it looks like we're going to be back in the mid to upper 80's again. It's been nice being in the upper 70's and low 80's.

[jseal]

The good news is that I'm almost through my weekend chores. :rolleyes:

[dicksbro]

The bad news is they're predicting heavy storms today. :(

[jseal]

The good news is that I have an inside job.

[dicksbro]

I was glad to be inside late last night when the wind came through sounding like a freight train and the rain came down like a dam had burst. That was the bad news coming as it did after receiving 3.5" just a couple of days ago. :(

[jseal]

That sounds like you had a helluva evening! I'm guessing the Good News is that we didn't have anything like that down here, just the summertime heat and humidity.

[dicksbro]

Fortunately, no damage at our house. Saw a lot of tree limbs (4"-5" limbs) down around town but our trees stayed tough. The bad news is that it'll take a few days to get things all cleaned up.

[PantyFanatic]

The good news is the down-under folks will be getting longer days from now on this year.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that means they'll get more sunshine and it'll start to dry things out. :(

[dicksbro]

The good news is that with more sunshine, they'll get more tourists to visit and spend money. :)

[jseal]

The bad news is the Greek financial crisis.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that the entire world's economy hasn't collapsed yet.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that such a collapse seems closer than it used to be. :(

[PantyFanatic]

The good news is it will be a BIG boat we'll all be in ..... (I think :confused: )

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that even big ... you know, titanic boats sink. :(

[PantyFanatic]

The good news would be there isn't a healthy one to eat the weak. :shrug:

[dicksbro]

The bad news would be we probably couldn't log onto Pixies on theway down. :(

[jseal]

The Good News is the celebration of Independence.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is rising debt threatens our future.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that maybe with the next election we'll get people less likely to spend money that isn't theirs when there's no money to spend.

[jseal]

The Bad News is that the weekend's over, and I have to go to work.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that being retired ... the weekend goes on! :D

Sorry, jseal. ;)

[jseal]

The Bad News is the Heat and Humidity of a Baltimore summertime.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that you don't have to shovel heat and humidity. :shrug:

[jseal]

The Bad News is all the Weekend Chores!

[dicksbro]

The good news is that tomorrow starts a new work week. :)

[jseal]

The Good news is the pleasant weather we're enjoying here today.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that it's not likely to continue for the rest of the summer. :(

[PantyFanatic]

The good news is the :bs: that flooded this town should be down to where I can take off my waders by the end if the this week.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that between now and election day, don't think there's any stopping the BS flood. :(

[jseal]

The Good News is that I was able (with the generous assistance of my son) to rearrange the two back bedrooms, and I now have the study/computer room I've always wanted.

[dicksbro]

That does sound like good news ^^^^. :thumbs: The bad news is that my "study/computer room" got taken over. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news is that there are other ways to stay connected to Pixie's.

[jseal]

The Bad News is that one of the outside cats has gone missing.

[dicksbro]

The good news is you may inherit a whole new family of kittens. :faint:

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is that kittens lead to more feline bodily waste.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that allowed to decompose that'll create methane and you can change your car to run on methane eliminating gasoline purchases. :)

[jseal]

The bad news is that you'll be known as driving a poomobile.

[dicksbro]

The good news the poo is combustible and eliminates that much more going into our water supply. :)

[gekkogecko]

The bad news it that it will get into the atmosphere instead of the water.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that we may not notice given everything else that goes into our atmosphere. Is that good news? :spin:

[gekkogecko]

The bad new is that what you don't know can still kill you.

[jseal]

The Good News is how well you live that life.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is once you die ... it's too late to change. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news is that once you're dead, you don't have to worry about changing.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that it would be too late even if you could change. :(

[jseal]

The Good News was PAGAN.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is missing PAGAN. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, you didn't have to deal with driving to Pennsylvania and back.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that it would have been fun.

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, there's still fun to be had.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that the next PAGAN probably won't be until mid next year or a little later. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, there's still Pixies Place until then.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that so many Pixies do stop by very often anymore. :(

[jseal]

The Good News is that since that number changed once, it can change again.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that it seems to take so long to see those great people come back and post again. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news, you can always post to take up the slack.

[dicksbro]

Not to change the subject, but, the bad news is this afternoon my back started aching. Hopefully that'll end before tomorrow. I've got a lot of yard work to get done.

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, maybe you can foist the yard work off to neighborhood kids, and vegetate on the couch?

[Vicious Tease]

The bad news is the neighborhood kids are in school all day.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that my back was feeling better and so I got in a good afternoon's work. More to do today ... but at least I've got a good start. :)

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is, I have the yard work to do around here today.

[dicksbro]

Got done with what I wanted to get done yesterday so should be okay until our neighbors leaves blow into our yard. :(

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is, that's almost inevitable.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that "this, too, shall pass." (I hope :D)

[jseal]

The Bad News is chill of Winter.

[dicksbro]

The good news is this too shall end ... okay so it'll be maybe four or so months ... it will end. :wish:

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is that the end could be the end.

[AZRedHot]

The good news is that every end is a new beginning.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that every beginning has an end. :spin:

[gekkogecko]

The good news is that the end of one thing is the beginning of another.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that sometimes the new beginning isn't as good as the prior new beginning was.

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, the ending shouldn't be as bad, either.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is we never know until the new beginning or the new ending get here. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, everyone likes surprises!

[dicksbro]

The bad news is when the surprise is something we really didn't want to see happen. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news is one man's trash is another man's treasure.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that sometimes a treasure can lead to unhappiness ... like at tax time. :yikes:

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, nobody has figured out to tax insanity.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is the IRS will find a way if you tell them. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news is you dn't have to go to the effort of telling them, they'll find out on their own.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is ... you're probably right. :(

[jseal]

The Good News is my day off today.

[grotochp]

Bad someone shot my windshield

[dicksbro]

^^^^ :yikes: The good news is they didn't shoot you. :boink:

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is, the incident may be repeated.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that may the incident won't get repeated afterall. :wish:

[jseal]

The bad news is all the weight I'm putting on!

[dicksbro]

The good news is that "what goes on can come off."

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is, you might not want it to do either.

[dicksbro]

While this is true, the good news is that with determination you can take control of your own decision and commitment.

[gekkogecko]

While this is true, the good news is that with determination you can take control of your own decision and commitment.

The bad news is, you may not, after all, be in control of your commitment.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that you might be.

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is, you actually are not Napoleon.

[dicksbro]

I'm not? :yikes:

Oh well, the good news is that maybe I can be Teddy Roosevelt instead. :D

[jseal]

The Bad News was visiting the dentist when Teddy Roosevelt was President.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that once the tooth was pulled and the cavity healed, you had no more problems with that tooth. :shrug:

[jseal]

The bad news is no snow for Christmas.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that means no shoveling the driveway. :D

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is, there are still idiots who deny the existence of global warming.

[jseal]

The Good News is that the unrealistic '2 degrees C' goal is now not the guiding light of the world's efforts.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that it's sometimes difficult to see what's guiding the world. :(

[PantyFanatic]

The good news is 'we have right now, and each other'. ;)

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is, right now, we don't have each other by the throat.

[jseal]

The Good News is that having another by their heart is preferred to having them by their throat.

[dicksbro]

^^^^ True.

The bad news is that so many in this world think of violence and hate before love and caring. :(

[jseal]

The Good News is that the fraction of the world's population who live in abject poverty continues to decrease.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that those in poverty are really hard pressed to do much except try to survive day-to-day. :(

[PantyFanatic]

The good news is anybody on this board has no idea what true 'abject poverty' is.





(All say thank you :wish: )

[dicksbro]

Thank you! See, I do read your posts, PF! :)

Happy New Year's Eve my friend! :cheers:

[jseal]

The Good News is that we all get to begin another year! :thumbs:

[dicksbro]

The bad news is if the new year has the same level of terrorism and this past year and worse, there's no indication it won't have. :(

[jseal]

The Good News is that almost all of that action does not occur in this country.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is we suspect they're always looking for ways to bring the terror to us.

[jseal]

The Good News is the price of gas.

[dicksbro]

Day before yesterday I would have agreed. The bad news is that yesterday :( gas shot back up to $1.899, darn it. Hopefully it's going to drop right back down. :wish:

[jseal]

The Good News is the continuing strength of the economy.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that with 19 trillion in debt (and growing) the long term prospects are rather bleak.

[gekkogecko]

The good news is the long term prospects aren't as bleak as it might appear.

[jseal]

The Good News is the diplomatic resolution to Iran's nuclear weapons program.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that I'm not as all confident that a country that held our embassy hostage and lied consistently for years is going to care one iota about whatever the agreement specifies as their responsibility ... and we're returning a hundred billion dollars to them that I doubt they'll spend on improving the lives of their citizens very much. I hope I'm wrong but I just don't have confidence in them or the agreement. I think Israel and the Sunni states are in for trouble and the potential expansion of nuclear arms to other countries is becoming more and more likely. :(

[jseal]

Those are accurate and reasonable criticisms, one of which I'll qualify by identifying the so called "snapback" mechanisms built into the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action signed by Iran. If, as it would appear, the sanctions were sufficient to bring Iran to the negotiating table, their re-imposition, which cannot be vetoed in the UN Security Council, has a fair change of inhibiting that behavior.

The Good News is that yesterday's snow did not accumulate.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that our really cold weather will be hanging around for another day or two before we start inching back up a bit to just cold. :shrug:

[gekkogecko]

The good news is that this area is expecting 12+" of snow Friday, and an additional 8"-12" of snow n Saturday. No work or meetings for us!

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that people trying to drive anywhere those days will not have the nicest of drives. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, I don't have to deal with the idiot drivers in the snow.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that spring is still two months away. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, that's two more months to enjoy winter sports.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that it's just 11 more months until 12/22/16 with Christmas just around the corner. :yikes:

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, I'm about to get snowed in with my wife.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that the east coast has really gotten hammered by ol' Mother Nature this time. :( Best wishes to all of you who are dealing with this storm.

[jseal]

The Good News is that snow eventually melts.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that's when the potholes start popping. :(

[jseal]

The Good News is that tonight's rain and tomorrow's temperature should get rid of today's snow.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that winter just isn't over yet although the next several days don't look too bad.

[jseal]

The Good News is that the rain and temperature have removed almost all of yesterday's snow.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that my car is again covered with salt. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, the salt washes off fairly easily.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that it is very corrosive.

[FlirtWithMe]

The good news is that it's very nice on fish n chips :nod:

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is, if you actually used road salt, it would be full of contaminants.

[dicksbro]

The good news is it's good for clearing ice of roadways.

[gekkogecko]

he bad news is, the roadways and other national infrastructure are decaying.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that construction companies will get new business repairing or replacing the decaying infrastructures.

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is, this won't happen soon enough.

[dicksbro]

The good news will be if the money can be found to get the repairs done.

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is, we've about done the subject to death, so we should change it.

[dicksbro]

The good news is we can always put our change in a jar and save it. :)

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is, eventually we'll run out of jars.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that we could switch from jars to boxes.

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is, the boxes will rip frm the weight of all that change.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that there are heavier materials we could use to make the boxes.

[jseal]

The bad news is that we're not getting ny younger.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that we can always try to enjoy what time we have. :thumbs:

[gekkogecko]

The bad news, too much partying will kill us.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that we'd get to go out with a smile on our faces!

[jseal]

The Bad News is the snow we're enjoying! :yikes:

[dicksbro]

The good news is the snow we're not enjoying (yet).

[jseal]

The Bad News is that I must go to work today, even though I'd rather not.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that you'll get paid for being there. :)

[jseal]

The Bad News is the weather forecast for this weekend.

[jseal]

The Good News is that the Orioles are back in first place.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that my back yard really needs mowing. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, it needs mowing due to lack of drought.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that it's mainly holding on because of a few showers a while back. Haven't had much since. :(

[jseal]

The Good News is that the rain held off until last night, and didn't spoil the weekend.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is they're predicting highs in the mid to upper 90s come Friday, Saturday and Sunday. :( (We're heading to Indianapolis on Friday for a dance recital).

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, it looks like the rain will hold off for the upcoming Maryland Faerie Festival.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that this weekend is going to be

:devil: HOT! :devil:
:vamp: HOT! :vamp:
:weg: HOT! :weg:

[jseal]

The good news is, when I read the obits in this mornings newspaper, I wasn't included.

[PantyFanatic]

The bad news is, when I read the obits in this mornings newspaper, he --^ wasn't included.

[PantyFanatic]

(Just kidding ;) :rofl:


The bad news is the grass is growing faster than my mower runs. :banghead:

[dicksbro]

The good news is that tomorrow we're heading over to Indianapolis to spend a few days with our daughter and her family. Big reason, her two daughters are going to be in a dance recital on Saturday. Looking forward to the trip.

[gekkogecko]

Bad news, the weather will probably not cooperate.

[dicksbro]

Good news ... there's always air conditioning ... :shrug:

[jseal]

The Bad News is the Orioles lost last night. :(

[dicksbro]

The good news is they can bounce back! :thumbs:

[jseal]

The Bad News is the summertime heat and humidity.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that public swimming pools are generally open.

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is, that's where the lightning often strikes from the summer thunderstorms.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that most pools close or bring people out of the water and into whatever facilities are available when lightning first happens.

[jseal]

The Bad News is that the overnight storms did not break the heat forecast for today.

[dicksbro]

The good news here is that our temps have cooled somewhat, and, while the humidity is still high ... it seems to have eased a little bit yesterday and today even though we got more rain yesterday. :)

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that I've got a lot of outside work to get done around the yard ... but it seems like there's little time available to work on it. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, I can probably get the yardwork I need done later on today.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that between things to do this morning and this afternoon, I'm not entirely sure I'm going to get mine done. :(

[jseal]

The good news is the cooler weather.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is the rains at a time the farmers want the corn to begin drying out so they don't have to pay to have the crop dried. :(

[jseal]

The Good News was the assistance my son gave me to tend to our neighbor's back yard.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is the suffering of so many in the areas flooded by all the recent rains in Texas and Louisiana. :(

[jseal]

The Good News is that Gawker.com has been shut down.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that our country and the world seem to be spiraling out of control. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news is I made it to 54 without dying.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that you probably won't be getting the benefit of senior coffee or senior discounts yet. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, I can still have senior moments!

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that I think I have them ... :) ... I just can't remember. :(

[PantyFanatic]

But the good news is you can hide your own Easter eggs. ;)

[dicksbro]

The bad news is I can't find them after I hide them. :(

[jseal]

The Good News is that I've learned this week how to start a camp fire with a cell phone.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is replacing phones often costs more than matches. :shrug:

[PantyFanatic]

The good news is I think you just have to call the local Army Surplus to pick up a flame thrower. ;)

[dicksbro]

That does seem easier than rubbing a stick against a rock. :shrug:

[jseal]

The Bad News is the 93 °F temperature forecast for this afternoon

[dicksbro]

The good news is that we're only expecting 79F as a high today. :)

[jseal]

The Bad News is the recent performance of the Baltimore Orioles.

[gekkogecko]

The good news, hockey season is just around the corner.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that it's going to be hot today which means some of that lawn work probably won't get finished today. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, I already finished the lawn work, won't have any to do for a while.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that we got so much to do today that the remaining yard work is going to get pushed back again (plus, it's still pretty hot :().

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, it's the weekend, and time to party instead of doing yard work.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is I'm still tired. :(

[gekkogecko]

The good news is, since you're retired, nobody cares if you sleep on the job.

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that since nobody cares you could accidently sleep through lunch! :yikes:

[jseal]

The Good News is the recent performance of the Baltimore Orioles. :thumb:

[dicksbro]

The bad news will be here if they stop. :(

[jseal]

The Good News is that then we can look forward to the next one. :)

[dicksbro]

The bad news is that we're not having a white Christmas. :(

[dicksbro]

The good news ... I guess ... is that there's only 3 more days left in this year.

:shrug: :( :D :roflmao:

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is that 2017 has a chance to suck as badly or even worse, than 2016.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that maybe it won't! :wish:

[jseal]

The bad news is the miserable "Wintry Mix" weather here this morning.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that we're facing mainly a lot of wind and cooler weather making it feel cold ... but ... no precipitation for a while.

[gekkogecko]

The bad news is, that's still liable to cause a lot of suffering.

[dicksbro]

The good news is that spring is only about 2.5 months away

[jseal]

The bad news is that, sooner or later, all vacations must come to an end.

[dicksbro]
