Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So happy for you Halycon. Have a really good time. I'm happy because in about six weeks time I will have the pain I have been living with for a year sorted. I was at the pain clinic today and at last the cause of the pain was diagnosed. Will be so good to be able to live a normal life again https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2011/02/51.gif

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Great news Jo, wonder if they will look anything liker how you imagine.

Have a great time Hal, let your hair down!:)

Brilliant news defirish, you should be well sorted before Christmas!:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well we have swapped photos of our families so hopefully they are forewarned but they could be skybluepink with purple hair and I shall be too happy to notice. :D

Nice to hear you being happy and positive Hal. Have a great time and tell us all about it tomorrow. :)

Brilliant news deffy. Knowing what is causing the pain is a big step forward. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly. :hugs:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Big smiles for you Jules :)

After a year of asking, I have finally been offered a chance to register as an iPhone developer through the Uni's account.

Not that I know what I am going to do with it yet, but I am gonna have fun finding out.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks so much Tinky. Hopefully so and the pain will all be in the past.

What does an iphone developer do Stuart :erm:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Whatever steve jobs allows him to do

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Writes software for the iPhone. Personal membership entitles you to release your apps through Apple. Not sure if the Enterprise membership the uni has will let me do that, but it does also allow early access to new versions of the os.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks for the explaination Stuart and congratulations on getting this. You will have fun playing with it :D It will be like your new toy in time for Christmas ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just finished servicing the keyboard on one of my old synths: 76 keys and 25 years of oxidation and grime. Two unresponsive keys now working and the whole thing is pretty much as good as new so well chuffed :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

What is a synths? and what did you use to clean it? and how do you take the keyboard apart without damaging it and back together again?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It's an old synthesizer like you used to see on TOTP in the 80s (it's called a Roland Super JX for any anoraks). It's quite easy to dissasemble so it was just a case of taking the keys and springs off then cleaning all the old dust and debris from the keybed and removing the oxidation from the microswitch contacts. Job done.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I suppose It's easy when you know how. That I would be afraid to try in case I didn't get it back right and I like my lappy two much to try something I'm not to sure about. :D:D Glad you got it sorted Uncle P anyway. I have a lot of dust on mine but I shall leave it for another day :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good morning every one. Its a nice sunnday where iam today so im hoping to have a nice day round town.

Immediate neighbours are fine, not so sure about some of the others, there's been talk of a stabbing nearby (wtf) :Yikes: Lol what have i got myself in to!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You're moving into that house down the road from me?! just scream distinctively and I'll come and get rid of the yobs in your garden :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Did the stabbing happen where you live now pia or the new place your moving to?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Pia, hope the move is successful!

I'm due to 'pop' today, doubt it will happen but one day closer to baby deciding to make it's appearance. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Have a curry - that is supposed to help move things along....:D

There are other suggestions, but not on a family-friendly forum.....;)

Honestly, good luck - I hope you don't have to wait too long, and when the wee one decides to start moving, the duration isn't too extended.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oh Fingy how exciting! Hope it's not too long till you 'pop'.:)

and Pia hope you will be very happy in your new home.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

All joking and mocking aside, it's good to see you not giving up and to keep on trying. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well I've just come back from a rather stressful trip to our youngest's school. He'd had a fit and an ambulance had been called as the staff had encountered problems administering his emergency medication. It was there when I arrived and you can imagine how I felt as I ran in. Anyway, he was out for the count and looking very pale when I found him but after some basic tests in the ambulance and a lot of questioning and form filling, I was able to take him home.

I tell you what, the smile on his face as he came round in the ambulance was utterly priceless and couldn't fail to make anyone feel happy... :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Got good news awhile ago. I dont have to wait six weeks for my op. I got a date for the 24th so hoepfully everything will work out and I will be pain free again after having the pain for a year https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2010/11/57.gif

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks dilli. I hope so as well and that I will be free of all pain killers as well :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I love the innocence of childhood. He was awake and not scared so had a smashing experience. I bet it took a long time for your heart rate to return to normal even though it was sorted without a hospital visit.
...the 24th so not as long to wind yourself up either. :D I will be thinking of you deffi. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2010/11/58.gif

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Strange happy thought but my mum has bought me a new potato peeler. We should now actually get 99% of potato when peeled as posed to about 30% :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Huh??? Love it :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm trying to work out if potato peeler is some kind of street slang...:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks for the kind words folks. :)

Yes he's fine now and co-incidentally, we're due to see his consultant tomorrow. Sadly, he's been having more fits than normal over the last few months so he's going to need a third medication (he's already on the highest dose of both the others he has to take). :( It's all a bit worrying as it's almost a trial and error situation we're told so we're just praying that it works and he doesn't have any serious side effects.

Thankfully, he's a strong, happy lad and, despite all his problems, he brings us so much joy and we treasure every day with him.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well we've all just started to take it in turns to cook each night of the week, and my turn was tuesday, and I had to peel some potato's with a (in my opinion) useless peeler, so she bought me one that I can actually use :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Glad it all turned out ok :tu:

Good luck with the operation, hope it all works out.


Thanks so much. I'm looking forward hopefully for the pain to be gone once I get this op done and have a pain free life again. Cant remember what It's like at this stage to be pain free :(

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Seconded! All the best.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sooo pleased for you defirish, get it over and done with and be bright eyed and bushy tailed for Christmas! Yeh!!!

Jeepers your heart must have been in your mouth Osem, and all the time all he really wanted was to see his Daddy, bless! Seriously though, I hope they can prescribe something that will ensure his fits can be kept under control. That would be one worry less for you and Mrs.:hugs:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks so much Tinky. Now I have to get my brain around the idea and not freak myself out about going in :( It will be over before I know it. Have to keep telling myself that :D:D:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice one it will be over before you know it.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well it's a done deal - a third medication to be commenced after Xmas unless things go pear shaped beforehand. The paediatrician has recommended something that's usually well tolerated by children with only minor side effects (if any) so hopefully he'll be OK and then we can think about reducing his original medication if all goes well. I don't like him having to pop so many pills and potions but it's all a bit 'suck it and see' like really. Fingers, toes and anything else we can cross is being crossed right now.

Anyway, all the best to those of you suffering trying times too - I always try to remember that there are plenty of people far worse off than we are.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It seems to have taken a long time to get to this point but I have just spent the morning doing what I used to think was one of the most boring things in my world, prepping canvases. It feels soooooo good to be getting back to work. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good stuff indeed :tu: :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Put it into perspective - you will live a life without pain :) A small inconvenience of an operation is well worth it in the great scheme of things :hugs:

Fingers crossed for you :)

I suppose one good thing to come out of all this is not to take things for granted - so glad you are feeling much better :hugs:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Believe me I know and I keep looking beyond the day of the op and looking into the future when It's all over and done with. Thanks so much superbiath for your kind words :hugs:
