Wanted to ask...

[leelapops]

..a new question, as I was sick of seeing the same question list on B&S!

I was just wondering why people don't ever talk about what they HAVE, preferring to concentrate on what they HAVE NOT....hmmm.

[MrBen5]

Hmmm, maybe because people only want what they dont have...

[nannon]

i have a lovely boyf and i like my eyes!!!

[Octavius]

Hmm, I don�t have syphilis but I don�t want it.
So to not have something you want is often better than to have something you don�t want. As I don�t really talk about not having syphilis, am I a have or a have not?

To be or not to be, now that is the question.

[nannon]

oh think i mis-interpreted the question!

[leelapops]

nannon, that's such a nice thing to hear. They say the eyes are the window to your soul, and you seem a lovely person, so maybe 'they' are right!

I have a great partner, a wonderful dog, my whole life ahead of me, a super job/jobs-to-be, and a house that has stairs that belong to me and not a load of other people!

I have my health, my friends, my happiness, a +ve outlook.

What do others have? I would love to hear some good stuff today!

I have a headache.

And also ive got nice hair and a great family.

[leelapops]

No, nannon, your interpretation has been the most accurate! I just wanted to know what people appreciate in their lives.

[MrBen5]

Hmmm, i have a packet of rolos all to myself.
There are not many people can say they have chocolate all to themselves...

[nannon]

oh good - i was on the right lines!!!
I'm not totally happy with my kife and situation but not unhappy with it easier -i dont live with my boyf but will do soon, i wish i didnt share a house but the people i share with are nice.
i want to be a teacher and dont really like the job i'm in now but i like the people i work with so thats ok. I wish i was thinner but have already lost 12pounds in 7 weeks so i'm getting there...!!
I have a wonderful famioy and lovely friends so i should moan half as much as i do!!!

[nutgoneflake]

Maybe because it could be misconstrued as bragging. We Brits are not good at celebrating the positive, are we?!! The papers are full of celebs being built up only to be knocked down again for getting too big for their boots!!

I'll be brave though, and rememberI'm not bragging!

I have two beautiful, clever and kind boys, who I'm lucky to be able to look after full-time.
One husband who has me on a pedestal, despite me telling him all the time he shouldn't put me there.
A lovely small-town environment to watch my boys grow up in.
A very large, but very close, very loving family.
More friends than I have had at any point in my life before.
Some recent 'money' bad times well and truly behind us.

I'm very happy with my lot - now watch some miserable sod spoil it for me lol!!!!

Are you OK leelapops? xx

[redcrx]

i have a beautiful, loving, intelligent toddler who is going to turn 2 next week. I have a great family, a job that allows me to come on AB and a wonderful boyfriend who is also a great dad!

[leelapops]

Oh I feel all warm and fuzzy inside! And that's not just the painkillers I am dosed on today!

mistys, hurrah for your hair :)

nannon, isn't it nice when you can see your future working out well for yourself? :)

nutgone, you sound so happy! Watch those boys don't knock you off that pedestal with their mad running around you asking for love and attention!


redcrx hppy birthday to your little one for next week.

It's also nice to learn a little more about the person behind the online ID. Thank you everyone x

[nannon]

oh no - are you poorly leelapops??

[Octavius]

On an internet forum it is easier to believe people when they say what they don�t have rather than when they tell you what they do have.

[leelapops]

Octavius, fair point. I suppose part of the escapism of the Net is sharing worries and problems with anonymous people who won't judge so readily (in most cases!) and who you can open up to about things you maybe can't chat to your friends about.

Therefore it's more complaints than celebrations I guess...

nannon, I have ladypains, but they've been happening once a month for 10 years now so it's standard stuff really! Thanks for your concern though! I have chocolate fingers and great music, so I'm bearing up!

[bigmamma]

I have a wonderful family including a wonderful son , and a roof over my head . :-) x
Oh , and you lovely abers . xxxx

[nutgoneflake]

What a great thread, leelapops. Ten out of ten for a fab question to get everyone looking on the bright side!!! xxx

[leelapops]

bigmamma, has all the water gone!? I am glad you are happy :)

nutgone, you're a smooth talker so you are! I am surprised it wasn't banned, there must be something untoward on it somewhere!

Hope everyone's OK on this rainy June (JUNE dammit!) day x
