Here’s something that makes me happy :
The actual ability to feel the emotion of happiness.
After many years of depression, it sometimes hits you in the face.
I was meal prepping yesterday for an hour in the kitchen while dancing along to Elvis, and I stopped for a second and thought, I feel happy, and it’s no longer a scarcity.
It’s nice to be able to appreciate that.

A few days ago I got my hands on a 1983 Japanese Stratocaster. Goya is a really obscure Japanese manufacturer, but the quality is Top Tier. Although it doesn’t have fenders logo on it they were affiliated with fender and use their parts. It’s a blend between factory made / custom shop.
This thing sounds amazing, blows all my old guitars out of the water. I found it at a local music store used for 700. It has a nice road worn look to it on the edges but still really well maintained for its age. I’m pretty sure the pick guard was swapped out though.

These holiday things make me happy:
- Driving around looking at Christmas lights each year
- Lighting the first night of Hanukkah candles (yep, I celebrate both)
- When the holidays coincide, taking a picture of a lit Hanukkiah (the Hanukkah candelabra) in front of my decorated Christmas tree
- Getting all my exterior Christmas lights placed and turning them on for the first time
- Finding a new, spectacular lights display
- Seeing the pile of wrapped presents under the tree
- The look of delight on someone’s face when I picked the perfect present

WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING…
- WHAT…Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations of 6 to 10 inches possible.
I’m hoping for even more snow as things develop.

Meanwhile the cost of essential goods went up so it’s a win-win.
If you’re non-binary, it’s guns AND butter.
I don’t get the whole binary nonbinary thing. If you identify as a male or female, you are nonbinary as you are only one of two possibilities. If you identify as neither, then you are binary as you would be both. In other words, you can be male or female, or some combination of both (like intersex people), but you can’t be zero female and zero male, or you wouldn’t exist. The pronouns they choose to identify themselves are plural, they/them, which implies they are not nothing nor are they one thing (male or female) but two things, thus they are binary. Finally, by calling themselves nonbinary they are acknowledging that there are only two sexes, and they are not a third one otherwise binarism wouldn’t exist, so they can only be a combination of those two sexes. The logical conclusion is that I have too much free time.
Unless you’re playing 3D chess, I think you missed my point/humor…seems to happen all the time in real life too…hmmm…
Google guns OR butter -it used to be basic economic theory; but now our gov’t just chooses both, and makes some nebulous future generation pay instead.
Sorta like choosing to be he and she, and reaping the benefits of being both -i.e. “special”.
In a way, you kind of agree with my point, and since I consider you one of the smarter posters here, it’s a compliment towards me.
When I saw non-binary I immediately thought of the whole woke thing. Guns and butter was something the Nazis talked about but I don’t remember it being mentioned in my economics class. I do remember the joke about an economist, chemist and physicist being stuck on an island with a can of beans the professor told us.
So I googled it and saw what the Nazis were referencing as it goes back to WW1 and the US participation in it. Although I think if you replace butter with lube, it’s closer to what the government is doing now.
Maybe you remember it as the day class discussed the “Production Possibility Frontier.”
