WI is on there a few times.  We must be a pretty happy bunch.
There is something relaxing in working with sharp pointy things.

What if there were no hypothetical situations?

Virginia does not seem to be all that happy.


I am not suprised.

I don't seek happiness.  I accept contentment.

The badger or the lake express will take you across the lake to the land of cheese and beer.

Lactose intolerant.  Will not be happy or contented.

I guess now we know what they mean by "Blue Bayou"  =|


Nevada looks pretty happy.  We need more gambling and prostitution  =D
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Indeed.  I seek personal safety and financial security.  I derive happiness from many things but the feeling is fleeting.  Contentment can be with you from the moment you wake up to the moment you fall asleep, if you'll let it.  When life conspires to interfere, then strength of character can mitigate that negativity.

I'm working on that last part real hard.
