I'm desperate to find a single positive headline

[Tom Dyer]

coming out of the United States. I’m an expat living in Panama, and want to find one good thing that’s happening.
So:
Anybody lick a forever stamp?
Get a new puppy?
Remember what day it was?
Buy extra batteries?
Found a puppy breath candle?
Know what day it is immediately after waking up?
Have that Cookies In The oven Smell?
Desperate over here…

1. seriously. I need something

because the news is just mentally pure grease fire

[Ilikepurple]

2. Made and ate a piece of Dutch apple pie.

Quiche next with other pie crust. My puppies are 16 and 17 and look like they’ll make it another day. I know what day it is now, but I’ve been up for 8 hours. Best of all, I didn’t lick any stamps, forever or otherwise.

3. After being cooped up all winter with arthritis pain

I was able to get out and walk a mile to the store and back. Bring home some bagels and fruit in a little backpack. To me that’s progress.

4. My old horse went down in her barn.

(That was the bad news… but wait.)

It took 6 of us and a winch, but we got her up and she’s walking around and eating. She’ll be 40 in May and is healthy and beautiful. That’s the good news!

5. The doomscrolling is so toxic...

I found myself watching a string of those FB reels where they have two rows of chairs like in the lobby of an animal rescue or something and the people sit there as a dog or cat comes out and picks their new person. Everyone cries and I have to squeeze my furbabies. It’s weirdly therapeutic.

7. OMG - I love those videos!

6. No cookies in the oven (girl scout cookies and Nutella biscuits are the cookie du jour right now, lol),

but i have discovered my rice cooker will do more than rice. Made a lovely pot of brown rice, beans and lentils that will last a few days and make some simple rice bowls for dinner.

8. Rhonda finally gave birth!

Rufus has a new baby!

[Kali]

11. ha

I get that guy in my feed sometimes. I like the Hereford bull on a Brahma cow, it is usually the other way around. had a cousin who wanted to build a herd that way back when Brahma crosses were more popular around here. can't hardly find a Brahma here anymore.

[Lars39]

13. That combination sure makes a sweet looking baby.

I wonder why the Brahma fell out of favor out there.

[Kali]

14. who the hell knows? worse than women's fashion! went to angus/brangus.

for a few years anything black paid better than anything with color no matter what the carcass was going to look like. it was silly. now solid reds, baldies, and a touch of char compete with angus. still brangus cattle around but they are crossing back to strait angus or baldies.

[Lars39]

15. lol It sounds like somebody's curiosity was satisfied

“I wonder what this combo’s offspring would look like.”

[zanana1]

9. Puppy videos always do it for me.

After I watch the morning news, I go directly to Youtube to watch puppies.

10. Hi. There's numerous fun and lighthearted topics that you can view here on DU

Since you asked, I bought extra double A batteries yesterday and I made also made some Keto/gluten free chocolate chip cookies too. I baked them in my air fryer to boot.
