    I was going to comment on the happiness thing yesterday but didnt so now I will

    I dont think happiness is overrated per se, but I think other emotions are underrated. Sadness and other "negative" emotions are just as valuable to the human experience as happiness and other positive emotions

    What about the fact that some people would get pleasure and contentment from killing someone? Since all kinds of things can make people "happy" .. That counts against it being rated as the goal in life. People say "the point of life is to be happy". I disagree, and would call that overrating happiness.

    Some people like being sad, being sad makes them "happy". I don't think it's as simple as other emotions being underrated.. It's more like.. Emotional states in general are overrated? They're changeable and whimsical and therefore not very meaningful. Just fun : )

    I'm not sure what I really think here, btw, just debating with myself as much as anyone.

    The best Lyric ever about Emotion !!

    The friendly ranger paused
    And scooping a bowl of beans
    Spreading them like stars
    Falling like justice on different scenes
    "I'm damned"
    "indeed, comrade"
    "I'm being bombed"
    And all the people's faces turned strawberry blonde
    By the morning gate the friendly ranger waits
    For the sun making sure it's not late
    "just in time" "no need to fear" "well, just in case"
    And all the people are happy for another year
    And in the evening shade he climbs upon the sun
    Getting it's glow
    He goes on
    Singing this song
    To feel the goodness glowing inside
    To walk down a street with my arms about your hips, side by side
    To play with a sad eyed child till he smiles
    To look at a starry sky at night, realize the miles
    To see the sun set behind the steeple
    Clontarf castle, no king, queen or knightly people
    A coal fire and it's pouring rain
    To wave goodbye to a very good friend, never meet again
    Little thoughts bring little memories of you to me

    Ah! Don't know them well at all. Like, six months ago did a YouTube exploration of their stuff and liked it enough to add it to my list of music to buy and get to know better. I first knew "dancing in the moonlight" from the smashing pumpkins cover.

    Here's another ! I am a sucker for the Lyrics

    We used to walk hand in hand
    I was your friend, your fool, your lover
    I was your man
    I can see you then
    Smiling, looking straight at me
    You caught me unawares, I blushed
    Let's sit beneath this tree
    I can't get over the change in you
    I can't get over the change in me
    And I keep on remembering the old days
    I keep on remembering the old ways
    I can recall you running to a sweet shop
    You stopped
    Bought me something
    And you handed it to me
    You were my girlfriend then
    The first that I ever had
    The first that I ever kissed
    And the first to make me sad
    I can't get over the change in you
    I can't get over the change in me
    I keep on remembering the old days
    I keep on remembering the old ways
    Oh yeah
    I keep on remembering
    I keep on remembering
    Oh yeah
    I keep on remembering the old days
    I keep on remembering
    Your pretty dress
    With the zip up the back
    I used to love you like that
    I used to love you like that

    I don’t think that would work well for me. Cider is too damn good to just sip! ( especially Aspal, although that’s not available in the US )

    So, going to bed early is over-rated.

    I woke up at 1:30 and was like "What am I supposed to do for the rest of the night?".

    It was awful. I tossed and turned and the cats harassed me all the rest of the night.

    I got up early to take Boo to the Cat Snip mobile unit for her appointment.

    Before I left the neighborhood I had to talk to some new little boys that have been jumping out in front of cars every morning while waiting on the bus. The neighbors are ready to call the police about it. I told the boys if they got ran over they'd have to go to the hospital and get big shots and take lots of nasty medicine. That probably went in one ear and out the other.

    I got detoured on the way to the Cat Snip RV, which cost me about 10 minutes, but I made it in under the wire.

    We went to Walmart and were done there by 9:15.

    I'll go pick Boo up at 2:15.

    In the mean time there's Willow to watch. I put Piper's "cage" out on the front porch so Willow can be outside. He's enjoying it. I also bought a cat harness and leash this morning. Walking him will be interesting.

    There are tomatoes and peppers to plant in the yard. I dug the holes yesterday.

    Dinner was cooked yesterday so I don't have to do that again.

    Life is good.

    I almost forgot to mention how funny it is to watch the cats walking around on the roof of the house.

    I wish my roof was tin.

    Maybe, when I can sell the NC property I'll get a tin roof!

    I hate that they screw with phone reception though...I'll have to debate that with myself when the time comes.

    gOsh, I'm sleepy now!

    I'm having a coffee and the grands will be home in a few minutes.

    I keep hearing these commercials on the radio warning people not to run in front of trains...

    Are we really at the point where that message needs to be broadcast over the radio?
