    Have you had a priceless day?

    Let me tell you about my priceless day. Simple and short thread.

    Riding along towards St Heleirs, I see a kid looking at me curiously. I wave to him and he waves back with a smile. His mother beside him sees and replies a smile too. Thats priceless.

    Riding back towards the City Central, I see two cyclists on the Bus lane (which I was riding along) riding side by side, then he sees me and pulls over to make a gap. I pass gently giving a thumb up sign. After passing them, I see their face through the side mirrors. Faces with a pair of sports sunglasses and a great smile. Thats priceless.

    A guy on a golden F650CS stops side by side on a traffic lights, nodding with a BIG ASS grin that I can see through his open faced helmet. That is priceless.

    Ride along the motorway, passing a family van and I see a kid through the rear passenger. Again he looks at me with curious eyes. I wave at him and he waves back. His mother driving sees it and smiles, which I saw through the side mirrors. Again, priceless.

    Also you know what is priceless?

    Going to KB KIDS get together and grabbing a sausage sizzle... its free... priceless... Pity I missed that...


    Smile is priceless*! Go out there and make a priceless day!

    Excellent thread Some times we can get so caught up in where we want to go and or what we have to do we forget just how important the little things are. Like giving a cyclist the thumbs up for moving over

    Before all the OSH laws etc became so draconian, I have taken numerous little kids for their first ride in an aeroplane. The look of excitement and awe on their faces was PRICELESS

    I hate you!



    I'm having a pointless day.
    Or mebbe it's just a shitty day...
    My computer program is ferkt. I upgraded it, and that made it worse. I can't do my work, and I'm days behind. I've got three weeks to get ALL my work done before I go on a vacation I'd rather not go on.
    My mother is in hospital, semi-conscious and I dunno what's happening there. Maybe orphanhood is looming...
    My son is very depressed (just a bit more than me) and threatening to kill himself. I took him to a specialist yesterday, and got it in the neck from the porcupine/accountant/spousal unit for it costing so much.
    I phoned the porcupine/accountant/spousal unit to tell her about my mum, and she sounded ill. She made a massive cock-up at work, and thinks she's gonna get fired. (Why that matters, I dunno, because she's going to a new job after our vacation anyway...)

    I did just escape from CubicleHell for a coupla minutes, and buy a flatness of white and a fudge thingie. That helped. Perhaps I had a chocolate deficiency...

    [/moan]
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Best ongoing priceless one for me happened a couple of years ago. I was sitting having a latte as you do sometimes, and heard a bump kind of sound, turned my head in time to see an elderly man about a metre off the ground after having been bowled by a car! Being the ex-nurse I am, I ran over to offer assistance. Long story short here the man was pronounced uninjured apart from bumps and bruises by the ambo that attended, the car driver was ticketed by plod and one of the other witnesses to the event drove this man home in his car.

    Later in the day I rang to see how he was, his wife told me he was off out fixing an elderly neighbours hot water cyclinder, he had not told her what had happened, apart from he fell He was very grateful for what I did, and that I rang to see how he was after the fact. I see the pair of them down the road everyweek, they are very elderly and still hold hands, they always stop to ask how I am when they see me! The buzz just keeps on happening for me!

    The day my son was born and now coming home every day to see his reaction when I walk in the door. That to me is priceless

    Being blocked by 2 or more cyclists who deliberately ensure you can't get round them, only for one of them to ride into a manhole with the cover off = priceless!
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
