Have a good day
I am making the first contribution: This shows that the world is still full of wonderful people
A Vermont man's rent was paid for him by a Christmas Angel. "Nathan Dubray says someone anonymously sent $1,000 to his landlord on Christmas Eve. The same day, he got a note saying the rent had been paid and wishing him a Merry Christmas and happy holidays. The note was signed "Christmas Angels." The landlord confirms the story. Neither one knows who gave the money."
http://abclocal.go.com/wjrt/story?secti … id=6581057Any good soul who sends money anonymously or otherwise to others, certainly deserves to have my name and address in the number one spot in his address book.
One can find a good samaritan anywhere and from any walk of life.
I hope you also find find one.
Babe ...
Thanks for being the first person to post on this forum. I hope you liked this good news.
I don't have news or story to share, but would like you to know that everyday I have spent here on HubPages ended up being a good day
That would do. Sharing your good moments is always good news.
I am equally as happy as you are being part of the hub pages community I couldn't ask for more
Have a happy new year everyone!! Thanks Mhei
Thanks for being so happy and spreading the happiness around.
Here is another piece of good news I found today for the Go Green environment friendly folks here: In Germany the 1&1 Internet which is one of the world's largest web hosts will build its next European data center inside an abandoned nuclear fuel facility.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/14 … ta_center/That was hilarious. "To cut the long story short"... simply too good

Don't try to always make sense. Hope that makes sense to you now.
Yes a miss can understand and not misunderstand
Selva sorry isn't required. Actually your writing did bring a smile on my face. It is kind of funny in a way. I can't explain it but it is funny.
One more time urgently paste this >....... really u dont know that sentence .
by
selvaThanks for considering me as your best friend although I would never consider any of my friends "stupid". I guess sometimes we want to say something which comes out in a different way. Here is a small poem for you Selva:
With your funny sentence
when the situation is tense
then can make even sense
out of even utter nonsense
that is of course the essence
of your wonderful presence
Yes it was wonderful. Hope you too had a great time. Keep smiling
Today I was reading about progress made in Rural India where venture capital funding is being channelized to help local inventors/innovators to carry on this task of improving the livelihood of millions of rural Indians. This initiative was started by Professor Anil Gupta from IIM, Ahmedabad. A truly heart warming article.

When you are counting objects, you go "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D...".
When asked about a bus schedule, you wonder if it is 16 or 32 bits.
When your wife says "If you don't turn off that darn machine and come to bed,then I am going to divorce you!", and you chastise her for for omitting the else clause.
When you are reading a book and look for the space bar to get to the next page.
When you look for your car keys using: "grep keys /dev/pockets"
When after fooling around all day with routers etc, you pick up the phone and start dialing an IP number.
When you get in the elevator and double-press the button for the floor you want.
When not only do you check your email more often than your paper mail, but you remember your {network address} faster than your postal one.
When you go to balance your checkbook and discover that you're doing the math in octal.
When you dream in 256 pallettes of 256 colors.

Just like shouting "F1" when we are in need of urgent helpWOW!! Thanks weblog, I didn't see this post. I guess I forgot to press F5 to refresh this page
Or like shouting, "LOL" when laughing offline.... then I know I have been on the computer too long.
OMG!! Did you really do that? Take a break and I didn't mean Cris A's hub but if you do that then it is a nice a "break" too
Thank God!!! You kept it to yourself otherwise we would have to blame hubpages for our symptoms
To tell you the truth, I am having hard time not saying this in real life lately
Misha- That is a classic symptom that you need a break or you can take this "break" too
http://hubpages.com/hub/im-taking-a-break-from-hubbingI can imagine a cyber "LOL" offline would raise some eyebrows.
Is that video for real or is it doctored? Btw if the couple's daughter died then why did they still have a nanny or their had more than one child? The end really freaked me out but yes it was entertaining in a scary way
Yes I was scared a bit but you didn't fool me with that story though
Oh yeah, I know that quite well - and I read this hub, too
Can't take a break though, it's too addictive
So we are going to soon have a new facility for HA (Hubolic Anonymous)...hehe
Well have you availed their services already? (Maybe I might need a good reference from you then as I might also be needing to join shortly)
Here is some more funny stuff:
You know it is time to reassess your relationship with
your computer when....
1. You wake up at 4 O'clock in the morning to go to the bathroom and
stop to check your email on the way back to bed.
2. You turn off your computer and get an awful empty feeling, as if
you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
3. You decide to stay in college for an additional year or two, just
for the free internet access.
4. You laugh at people with 28.8 modems.
5. You start using smileys :-) in your snail mail.
6. You find yourself typing "com" after every period when using a word
processor.com
7. You can't correspond with your mother because she doesn't have a
computer.
8. When your email box shows "no new messages" and you feel really
depressed.
9. You don't know the gender of your three closest friends because they
have nondescript screen name and you never bothered to ask.
10. You move into a new house and you decide to "Netscape" before you
landscape.
11. Your family always knows where you are.
12. In real life conversations, you don't laugh, you just say "LOL, LOL".
13. After reading this message, you immediately forward it to a friend! Enjoy and have a great day

I envy you guys for the warm sunshine weather. Here it is raining continuously for the past few days (Thank God at least there is no snow)
Have you ever been around the Cajon Pass when the SoCal winds start blowing? They have some of the worst there for sure
.The Cajon Pass is farther Inland than LA, but withink an hour of driving. It is the meeting point between the San Bernardino Mountains and San Gabriel Mountains, so anywhere down by the base has pretty strong winds. A few times when people were driving their cars during the high winds they said it was hard to keep their vehicles on the road. We also got really harsh winds like this up on the Rim of the World Highway in the San Bernardino Mountains. The fire danger is not as high right now, it is the higest during the summer and fall. Most of the time it is pretty safe to travel and not worry about fires, unless you are up in the mountains or hills then you should be okay
.That sounds scary if I ever decide to drive in my Civic(small car) there. But the fires I mentioned was in general about that area I have heard about. I guess people who live there are used to it and know how to deal effectively with fire hazards. I would love to visit all those places. Maybe next summer who knows
Sunmola is a philanthropist who doesn't want to be recognized and does his charitable work benefiting so many school children in Nigeria. It is a very nice article which inspires so many to engage in self less social service and surely worth checking out.
Source: http://www.goodnewsdaily.com/show_story.php?ID=8968Glad you are willing to check out those articles which makes me happy. I actually finished only 10 pages out of the three hundred pages ebook "Unequal Democracy"(I will have to spend more time reading then on hub pages)..hehe
I have just read key parts of it and a few pages here and there, but you do not have to read the whole thing
. I only googled it and found it because you wanted more information about the study. What I have read is very interesting though.I don't know if I would get the same flow and understanding if I pick and choose. I will finish it within a month. Thanks for sending such information my way.
I will try to read it all the way through since you have motivated me. I cannot help it, but since college I tend to spead read, but slowing down is good too
. I do that with novels.Don't get me wrong I also do fast skimming through books but only for fiction whereas for any academic/non fiction stuff I prefer to have a good understanding. I may only read it once then let me do it as best as I can.

Source: http://www.happynews.com/news/1162009/j … anding.htmSince it is a weekend thought I will have some humor today. I just read this and it is really funny about "The top 20 things not to say to a cop when he pulls you over."
20. I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer.
19. Sorry officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.
18. Aren't you the guy from the villiage people?
17. Hey, you must have been doing 125 to keep up with me, good job.
16. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical shape to be a police officer.
15. I was going to be a cop, but I decided to finish high school instead.
14. Bad cop. No donut.
13. You're not going to check the trunk, are you?
12. Gee, that gut sure doesn't inspire confidence.
11. Didn't I see you get your butt kicked on cops?
10. Is it true that people become cops because they are too dumb to work at McDonalds?
9. I pay your salary!
8. So uh, you on the take or what?
7. Gee officer, that's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning.
6. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.
5. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there is no other cars around, that's how far they are ahead of me.
4. What do you mean have I been drinking? You are the trained specialist.
3. Well, when I reached down to pick up my bag of crack, my gun fell off of my lap and got lodged between the brake and the gas pedal, forcing me to speed out of control.
2. Hey, is that a 9mm? That's nothing compared to this 44 magnum.
1. Hey, can you give me another one of those full cavity searches?

I guess either you have a Ferrari or maybe your father in law is the police chief of Manila

Thanks Cris for that wonderful image(a lot of effort seems to have gone into that). Hopefully Obama achieves the change that we all hope for(I am sure it would require a super effort and hopefully he is a super man to achieve that).
I agree 101%. Now if only we forget our personal persuasions and allow for change to happen. I'm not an American and I'm not even in America but I'm as ready as you are to pick myself up.
