Just needed to be heard for a little while

That otter is seriously sweeeeee!

It looks and sounds just like Gordon the Gopher!

(Gordon the Gopher is my hero!)



Edit! Are there really people who don't like cute pix on the thread?
(Shakes head in disbelief!)

I don't think anyone could dislike cute pix - I know there was some concern that we might be diluting the v useful mental health stuff, though. Personally I think there is plenty of space for both. For my own MH, I find it good to look on the beautiful, touching, sweet, kind, and cute side of life to balance the nasty things we sometimes hear about in the news.

Hear! Hear! I think someone did point out that, from a therapy point of view, it's good to provoke the positive emotions like humour, delight, compassion, etc. so for my part, I feel it is essential.
One of the things I like about this forum is that you can suddenly be reduced to fits of giggles by something, which is very cheering!
My problem can sometimes be impetuosity, and the need to instantly share what I've just found!

However, as I said, I'm more than willing to delete anything that anyone finds disturbing or inappropriate for any reason.


WaS, here is your homework before your visit to Santa!

It's a link to the Wiki page about reindeer. Particularly interesting are the bits about their feet, their clicking knees, and when they shed their antlers!

Sometimes the video clips bring a tear to my eye, and sometimes I get carried away on Youtube and go off looking at other stuff .. usually kittens! But I don't think its a bad thing!

Teaching a baby otter to be an otter soooo cute! http://i100.independent.co.uk/article/this-is-what-it-takes-to-teach-a-baby-otter-to-be-an-otter--lkEn1X7Hve

OH MY GOODNESS. I adore otters, they are absolutely my favourite animals

Regarding Christmas sweet treats, has anybody tried M&S Cranberry Jaffa cakes?

We had some.

I tried the M & S Christmas cake for £3.30 this week,,, yuck,, not a bargain, its not nearly as nice as the Mr T's for £4.


I will certainly try the cranberry Jaffa cakes!

I love the pictures and clips because I can show them to littlewing. It's a good way of introducing her to mh discussions because I can tell her about my friend who is agoraphobic, sits under a blanket etc. She understands more about the variety of the human condition quite naturally.

My DH actually said, 'WaS' to me yesterday. It is the first time since I joined the thread that he has used the username!

I like the pics, to the surprise of nobody. Also I do need cheering up. I found out some surprising news about ond of my exs which has thrown me off balance a bit.

Hbs - thanks, yes, I'm a bit upset but trying not to be. Its that old infertility not fair thing again. He always told me he didn't want kids and that he'd got someone pregnant and just ignored her and now he's going to be a father and I just don't understand how someone so crap gets to have kids and I don't.
