I take 4000 iu with vitamin k2 and will continue to do so the slight risk of hypercalcemia is alleviated by the K2 as it makes sure the calcium leaves your blood and goes where you want it

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

i go outside it works for me

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I have 2000iu from Costco - 600 capsule bottle. I don't take every day as I try to get outside.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Is it direct sun exposure to get vitamin d production or any light?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

i believe it's uv light the natural source of that is the sun

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Google says no to direct sun exposure but we need direct skin exposure to outside light.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Well that clears that up lol golden child :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

get a job on a solar farm,you'll get paid for sunbathing.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Nude?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I spend some time sitting at a large window, I never get sunburn sitting here so does the glass remove the UV and therefore the vitamin D I'd receive? ;)


Please no, I haven't had lunch yet :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

You've mistaken me for Paul. Burnt ginger :Yikes:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

hard hat and toetectors

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Deal. I'll bring my own hammer.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Yes it does.

Vitamin D production needs UVB, which is removed by glass.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

:tu:

I need to get out more :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Just had a brief reliving of the halcyon days of the early ‘80s, watching ABC and Human League at Millennium Square in Leeds.

Ballsy choices by Phil Oakey for the two encore songs - Being Boiled (released by the previous incarnation of Human League before some of them split off to form Heaven 17) and Together In Electric Dreams (solo effort by Phil Oakey with Giorgio Moroder).

Excellent night out, but my knee is letting me know it didn’t appreciate standing for three and a half hours…

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Seen Human League a few times in the last few years.
They always end with "Together in Electric Dreams", despite the fact it was never an actual Human League song.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

For the first time in months I was able to take a stand up piss today. Enlarged Prostate.

Spreading awareness is caring if you think ya got issues get help

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Silennight super soft bed sheets. I love them. Feels like suede.

Im so sorry buddy,it must be scary if ya cant pee...

Thats happend to me a few times and it feels exactly the same as when I had UTI there... (Burning feeling or pain,I dunno which)

Im glad you were able to go :)

I was very sad tonight... I went to this playground and I was sitting on the swings crying and all of a sudden I saw this beautiful kitty cat... I petted her fur,her tail,etc....

I dunno where she came from but she made me happier...

She had light coloured fur.. It was dark but she looked white or almost white :)


I would have loved it if she followed me home but its to far,her family would be worried about her...


I love kitty cats so much!! (MEOW)


Thank you for coming to see me kitty kitty!!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Sitting on the swings crying :spin:

Glad the cat cheered you up, I guess

Thank you...

She must have lived over near that park although I have heard kitties sometimes travel a long way!

I heard one tok a 75mile ride in a spare tire on the bottom of her owners truck... They didnt know she was under there I guess.. She is lucky she held on!!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

This made me laugh. :D
These were done not long ago, on a resurfaced road in Nottingham. :dunce:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Love Amazon (sometimes). Ordered a case of wine, then got a message saying it was undeliverable, and to await a refund. Waited a week and chased them yesterday, they refunded straight away.

And surprise surprise, todays its delivered. Sometimes their incompetence can work in your favour.

Cheers Mr Bezos :drunk:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Amazons CS pretty much always works in your favour. Few weeks ago I companied about a garden fork bending. Only cost 12 quid so what did I expect haha

CS said they could not refund that as it was a 3rd party seller but they could refund 2 other items instead values £16 so made £4

Then they similar ordered a twin pack of 60litre compost 1 arrived I complained they refunded and said keep it next day the second arrived

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Amazon use to be good with those £5 promotions. I complained once to CS that I'm not buying anything right now so they added the £5 as credit to my account lol I done this for many years until recently when I got stonewalled.

I'm in the city with my shades on. Life's good. Just stay in your lane. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Today I got compensation for a late running train from Brighton last month. It was near midnight when a train got going. The majority of people were merry so it wasn't depressing. Armed with my power bank I sat and browse the internet. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

If you got compensation for every time you have been affect by a fart on a train, you would be a millionaire this time next year! :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

The smell of arse :no:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

My Amazon account has been reinstated :woot: I think I was put on the naughty step :(

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Amazon have just despatched my eclipse glasses (during the actual eclipse) . Thats one thing i won't be collecting from my Amazon locker, doubt i'll be around in 2081 ! Thank goodness for my nerdy brother in law, who still had his from 1999... Sometimes its good to be a hoarder :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

What did you do to piss Amazon off?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Amazon delivered to my communal area not front door therefore I marked it not received. They had a picture of someone taking possession of all the parcels that day, it wasn't me. They apologised in today's email giving me £10 off my next purchase. Everyone gets that perk I know but I'm just glad I got my account back sod the discount. Horrible feeling being banned. Essentially too many returns.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Can't you get things delivered to somewhere local like a Post Office?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I don't want to do that. Walking, travel costs meh

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I guess that only works in a village for a lot of people.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

. . yet you want to get fit and lose weight :shrug:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I know. Vicious circle. I blame the medication.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

No lockers near you ?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Yes :Yes: I should use them. But I just can't do the walking. :cry:

---------- Post added at 19:15 ---------- Previous post was at 18:59 ----------

Evri, InPost and Royal Mail. No Amazon locker close by.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

How close are the lockers?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Half mile :o:

Amazons either in town or in a neighbouring neighborhood 1 mile away

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

That's not far, walk it or dust off the push bike, it's better than the stress of worrying about someone else nicking your parcel.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

just pretend you're walking to kfc i'm sure you'll make it ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Off to the Headingley Test Match on Thursday…

My friend had a spare ticket, and asked if I wanted to go (he offered Wednesday as well, but as it’s my grandson’s birthday that day, I thought discretion was the better part of valour…).

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

You just know when the first day or really heavy rain will occur ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

It'll rain and be cold. Even if there is any cricket, you won't see it because of drunk football fans in fancy dress. They call it 'the Headingley experience'. Enjoy ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

On the gripping hand, there is beer…

tbf, I go to a Headingley Test Match most years, and I’ve never had my view interrupted yet (we don’t sit in that stand…).

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

It's back. Entertainment that is football is back. :woot:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Same thing I post every year

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I have music on the background during working hours or sometimes talksport. Simon Jordan is funny lol "win the league" people say about Chelsea FC, they're stupid hahaha I'm laughing because the phrase easier said than done comes to mind. He gets annoyed very easily the ex owner that doesn't understand the concept of some supporters. :LOL:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Finally got around to upgrading my Cash ISA to another 1 year fixed rate with a few simple clicks in the app.

Also finally got around to upgrading my ID Mobile account to a 30 day rolling contract now my 2 year Google Pixel 9 Pro contract has ended, I'll decide whether I move provider at a later date.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

It's raining!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I go and see the bank person every year, she actually does find me better deals and goes through stuff for me, we call my visits 'keep Nicola in a job' but its reciprocal and of benefit.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Today I have saved £69.

The dead phone from yesterday (see moans thread) has miraculously started working again.

It had a 'green screen of death'. no matter what I did, or the button combinations I tried, it wouldn't turn off/on, wouldn't reset, just kept showing me the horrible green screen. Couldn't get anything to show at all . . apart from the sickly green.

Having left it all night with the green screen laughing at me, this morning it was all blank, the constant screen being on had probably killed the battery.

On a whim I plugged the charger in . . and got a charging notification . . after 10 minutes I turned the phone on and it's fine.

I'm not a cynical chap (honest lol) but it makes me wonder . . :erm:
I *could* have bought a new phone yesterday, maybe even spent £500 on one . . that I didn't need due to a software glitch or (puts tinfoil hat on) a coded 'kill switch' :D

I was at the store last night and this beautiful lady came up to me and gave me a 15 dollar gift card and then a 10 dollar card!


I gave her a big hug and she said "You dont have to hug me" -- I cried and said there isnt many nice people out there anymore.....

I guess she does that for alot of people... She had to be at least 80,I dunno.... Very sweet of her!!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

You need to stop hugging strangers like this you have done it before! What's with all the crying for a 45+ year old adult? You seem socially unusual in everything you say and do.

Thank you... Im very unique mate....

I love hugging people,the world needs more love... There is no ove left in the world and its sad...

I may be however old you said but im much younger mentally...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Problem is strangers might not love or even like you hugging them

Hmm I'm not sure socially unusual and in this case unique are complimentary.... :tiptoe:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Off for a pub crawl round Otley at 5pm with two chums (we first met when we all started at Jones Cable Leeds in 1996).


Some curry may also be involved...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I love camels lol slow but stable animals. Horses not so easy to handle I didn't risk it with my overweight butt.

Jet skis, parasailing, quad bikes, fun fun fun sandy beach, the 4th oldest mosque in the world, Roman empire ruins, blue and white city (Greek inspired), peak mountain point exploration, loads of stuff done and dusted in Tunisia.

My dad helped me hook up my new TV today..

Luckily I was able to find the exact same model CRT .. She is 13" and just a beautful TV... I had written down the settings from my original and put them in the new one so it looks the same...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

If that was most people's TV it would have been in the trash years ago.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

no 2 TVs are the same copying settings will not give you identical results

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Well I've just finished my second week in my job for an electrical engineering company.


On day 2 I was given a set of keys, day 3 & 4 I set the alarm and locked the building as I was on my own.


The other day I had to use Google Maps & Street View to do a survey of 3 sites in Leicester a customer has issues with, so I could see what space the cheery picker would have to access the streetlights.


I have to remember they are called lamps and not bulbs. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

could have just asked AI to do it haha

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Glad you're back in the job market I hope it lasts until you retire.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Yep same here

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Just tested my gas central heating for 30mins, it works perfectly with no radiator bleeding needed, so I'm all set for switching it on when needed later next month.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

:tu: I always give mine a quick run before it's needed, any problems then get sorted before the cold weather hits.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Mine came of for a few minutes one day last week.
Its been close to triggering since then, but not actually come on.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Mines on now. Radiators are luke warm.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I was so nervous going to the doctor's today to get a mole on my forehead checked out, he looked at it and told me 100% it wasn't dodgy, so I left with a huge weight off my shoulders removed.

I also took the opportunity to discuss my high blood pressure as they never got back to me so I now have to take 1 pill a day, let's see how that turns out.

This is my first ever on going prescription I have ever taken.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

what! he removed your head as a precaution :shocked:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

It took a while for them to sort my blood pressure. Like you I started on 1 medication which didn't bring it down enough, so they doubled the dose but that didn't agree with me. They ended up adding a second medication and returning the first to the original dose. They subsequently increased the dose of the second medication alongside the original dose/medication and since then everything's been spot on.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I'm hoping mine will be straight forward, I'll take readings again in 2 weeks.

I knew my wording was going to get a laugh but you got there before our resident comedian Carth did!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Weird, thats exactly how mine went as well. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I think it's pretty common, they start with the cheapest stuff and if it works great. No point using more expensive if they don't need to.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I guess I'm on the cheapest stuff and hoping I don't turn into a zombie like it made my work colleague, been on it 6hrs so I'm a little paranoid about side effects.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

On looking up prices, the one I started on seems to be more expensive.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I'm on Amlodipine 5mg.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I'm on 3 pills a day


Alluprinol - for gout
Simvastatin - Cholesterol
Ramipril - Blood Pressure


I have a prepaid yearly sub


my late mum took about 15.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Think we should have a new thread entitled " Who rattles when they jump"

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I creak when I walk, does that count? ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Lol.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I'm on fat jabs and it's been brilliant so far.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Had a new gas boiler fitted yesterday (ATAG i24r with an 18 year parts guarantee, as long as we have it serviced annually), so reduced gas bills (usage) going forward and cancelling the British Gas Service Plan, means we should have payback for the outlay in around five years.

We had a local (recommended by friends who have used them) gas engineer & plumber fit it, and it was £1800 less than the same British Gas specification.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

took the car in for MOT yesterday, it passed with no problems
