March was a horrific month. You may have noticed it was very quiet around the forum and to say that a few of us were having a rough time is an understatement (myself included).

I just want to hear some good things today, so please bombard me with the spectacular, the mundane, the funny things going on in your life that are good

My sweet little boy is turning 5 tomorrow! I just can’t believe it. He loves ninjas and robots and dancing, and tormenting his little sister 😂


message 3: by Beste (new)

Beste | 1163 comments Well nowadays Aliexpress has this huge sales I don't know why. and they keep spreading coupons. I bought so many silly things (like hairpins and pillows etc) but suddenly woke up from the hypnosis right before I bought 130pcs set of eyeshadows. I was like why do I need this again? What am I going to do with 130 different colors of eyeshadows??? :))))

Happy birthday big guy!

My daughter turned 3 over the weekend. We had prepped her that at 3, the Paci Fairy comes and takes your pacifier and gives it to babies that need it, just like we did with my son (who's also 5 now). We finally took it away yesterday. She freaked out at first but overall it went better than expected. So my positivity is that I'm sending out good vibes into the universe to get me through this week and hope to never see another pacifier again :-)

Happy birthday to your girl! Those pacifiers sure are difficult to get rid of I’ve heard! Neither of my kids would take a paci (or a bottle for that matter) but man that would’ve been nice when I needed it LOL. I found with anything they get over it within a week and then find some other way to cope


@Beste- I have the same problem.. I have two Urban Decay Naked palettes because their makeup is sooo nice, and that has curbed my eyeshadow buying addiction thus far

Ahdam (snowlocke) | 2429 comments My sisters and my dads birthday is this month and I aim to get them something for once also I’ve just got my tripod and lav mic come in and I’m hoping to get to some projects in the summer or when I have time hopefully

Also nearly finished with me deadlines and then I start my placement at a production company so got a lot to look forward for this month

Oh yeah driving test this month as well which is something 😂😂😂😂😂

Ahdam (snowlocke) | 2429 comments Hah she’s gonna be 9 therefore hitherto ergo I don’t need to learn so suck it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ahdam, makeup is a very important part of film production. I expect you to start some self learning starting tonight, then in a year when you become a special effects Instagram star with multiple sponsorships, you can thank Beste and I for showing you the way 😂

Thanks Tammie :) you are a great gal!

Looks like March/April is a busy month for birthdays!

message 16: by Ahdam (new)

Ahdam (snowlocke) | 2429 comments Don’t worry I know I met someone who is thinking of doing film makeup and when doing the short film we learned about makeup and light reflection since if you have bright lights on your face the camera will pick up a glare and it can be a problem so makeup is good for that

Your right I should probably know some makeup otherwise so we don’t have brown make up on white skin or the opposite (don’t kill me please)

But your right Beste you wanna come to England and be a make up artist for my next short film which will be made in 2100 😂😂😂😂😂

This entire year has been a blur for me with so much happening with work and home. We are going to Georgia and Florida on vacation the 11th-23rd.

We start at a horse ranch in Georgia for 5 days of horseback riding where they get to go twice a day. They have foals born all the time so we're hoping they get to see that. They also have mountain biking, swimming and all types of camps for the kids.

Then we drive to St Pete's Beach which is about 5.5 hour drive. We're staying right on the beach and again overload of kids activities ranging from on the beach waterslides, water gun wars, snorkeling, animal life camps, etc.

Very happy to get away from the grind.

Beste | 1163 comments @Ahdam, please don't hesitate to ask any questions. As @Margret said you will thank us later.

What better way to improve your mood than to listen to some soothing jazz music:



This was the Pornhub April Fool's joke over the weekend... that I found out about through Goodreads... I swear... right, Lena?... it's all LJ's fault...


message 27: by Ahdam (new)

Ahdam (snowlocke) | 2429 comments To be fair nothing beats the time pornhub decided to stream what we watch on our social media..... at least that’s what I heard it’s not like I watch pornhub what even is it anyway 😭😭😭😭😭😭😓😓😓😓😓

Timelord Iain | 35349 comments Mod
I heard about that this weekend, as well... I'm so out of the loop... they linked your facebook and pornhub accounts for you, that way you didn't have to keep linking and sharing the videos you watch anymore... so helpful...

Virginie | 6109 comments Oooh, I just came out of a 3.5h meeting. This thread is just what I needed :O

Happy birthday to the little boy and the little girl. To their parents: please turn them into little fantasy readers ;)

@Beste & Margret: My big sis' gave me an Urban Decay Naked palette for my 16th birthday so I wouldn't experience the "eyeshadow buying frenzy" (her words)
8 years later, I haven't touched to white one :p

I use the white one under my eyes to mask the bags. It works pretty well.

More positivity!!!

I'm not dying of a brain abscess, it's because my tooth sits INSIDE one of my sinuses and I have a sinus infection. Going to get antibiotics now 😂

WOO, Margret...

These days I feel like I go from one minor-ish medical problem to the next...

Negativity spoiler: (view spoiler)


message 34: by Beste (new)

Beste | 1163 comments How can a tooth sit inside sinuses? I thought they were going from the T area to your throat. Don't overuse antibiotics. Be careful with them.
Here is another funny memory; I had antibiotics my mum got for me. She knows I wouldn't bother myself going to doctors or pharmacy before I go in a coma when I was away for uni. So I had a stock of them thanks to her. Then I caught some really bad flu with my lungs full and fever really high. So I decided to use my antibiotics for this once. But hey I was smoking back then (menthol ones which sticks to your throat and never allows you to recover). I took the medicine for 11days and I said thats enough. Next day I woke up to my big presentation day with severe rash. I had to put wet towels in my shirt to ease the pain. I then ran to hospital. They couldn't give me medicine 🤣🤣🤣because you already overdosed yourself the doctor said. So guys be very careful with your meds and actually read the instructions.

I’ll have to read your spoiler later Iain cause I’m not at home but I feel the same!

Margret | 3168 comments Mod
Beste trust me I don’t overuse antibiotics, this time is needed.

You actually have sinuses sitting very close to your mandible. And everyone’s anatomy is different, so my tooth sits inside one of my sinuses. I saw the X-ray today and it’s definitely there. But where there’s supposed to be air, it’s whiteout which indicates my sinuses are full of junk

I left the house in two left shoes. And didn't notice. That is me, your random hilarious positivity dose of the month. (PS I have also had an awful MArch and it seems April will be equally tense. Tace care Margret)

That snowstorm over the weekend was very pretty... picturesque...

Sticky snow, that melted off of the streets, but stuck to trees and every other surface, and reflected very well at 6:30am through a solidly cloudy sky... I took a picture on my phone, but using the internet, it looked something like this:

April is already 100% better.

-My boy just had a birthday
-we took a road trip to BC 10 hrs away to visit family and the kids travelled so well, didn’t even bust out any kind of technology! I’m so lucky they’re good travelers.
-sinus infection is clearing up
-no major PTSD inducing incidents at work
-I had 6 days off.

The only downside was the roads are so rough I couldn’t read while my hubby was driving and I forgot my headphones on our trip

That sounds great, Margret. Glad things are looking better this month. :)


message 47: by Zaara (new)

Zaara | 4273 comments Great idea for a thread, @Marge. There was this blog...called 3 beautiful things... 3bt or something. Guess its retired now but basically the blog host listed three things she was grateful for daily. Sometimes it got nauseatingly cute and *myork*
but many times it listed things that made you smile.
I always looked it up whenever I was feeling cramky.

SILLY STORY
Sooooo when Margret was ill, I sat and wrote this long post with a bunch of herbal remedies for a chest cold bcuz I'm all Sasha like that...
Then thought "how idiotic, the woman's medically-trained. She's probably all set with meds and stuff...."
So I put it away and never posted.
Then I went and found a bunch of cheery pics for her tracker and then I had to go and I never got arnd to posting those either.

This one however makes the cut.



Bluebells.

There!
Winter to spring, this thread is all set.

BONUS:
When you open a fresh pack of coffee and inhale.

FOR RON AND SARAH WHO DON'T DRINK COFFEE

Anni | 5066 comments Uh I love those pictures! Every season has it's own magic :)

Over here it looks more like in Zaara's picture (with some rainy phases). And because the weather is amazing I went horseback riding yesterday, I weren't for a really long time because I'm pretty occupied with things to do for work and university and our house rebuilding. But yesterday I said 'Screw it all!' and spend a great afternoon outside and I am much more relaxed and happy today, so it was worth it!

Say 'cheeeeeese' 😂 Well, his head is too big for a selfie...

@Zaara I also don't drink coffee, but I love the smell and chocolat of course :)

Yeah, but I'm the hairy one on the right ;)

Don't know what you complaining about, more coffee for you, I will just stand beside you, inhaling deep, while you can drink aaaall of it alone!
