The Good News Thread

Congrats to everyone. Nice to hear ppl are making that money.

TMC sorry to hear about your brothers passing, glad to hear your step fathers situation didnt end in the worst possible scenario.

Almost makes my good news seem trivial but I bombed a ball over the 250 yard fence at the driving range the other day.

Almost.

Perfectly straight? :D

Wow man. Yeah that's seriously messed up. Sounds like the mom got the kid to falsify some info to throw the dad in prison. Glad it all worked out, at least in the sense of having one guy's life totally ruined by false accusations. I know the no contact situation sucks but it's better than the alternative.

Also thanks guys on the congrats.

Exactly this. Could have gone about it differently, but my parents don't need this in their lives. It's alright, the good news part of this story is everyone seems so much happier now. :D

Congrats to everyone glad to see the good news thread, rocking. I have always considered this my internet family.

Love ya guys! (in a non-gay way but if that offends then I love you in a gay way) =)

Perfectly straight? :D

Getting straighter and that fence seems to get farther and farther every time I tell the story.

(it was straight though .. )

Damn! Nice, congrats all.

I have a really fucked up story that could have easily started off in The Bad News Thread, but deserves to be in here now.

The tl;dr of it is, a few months ago, the police came and took my stepdad for questioning. The problem? My nine year old nephew accused him of sexual assault. My brother died almost eight years ago in a car accident, so the mother moved away. Went fucking insane.

Has taken a huge toll on the family after numerous hearings, etc. Also brought a lot of questions from my dad's side asking, "Did he do anything to you while you were a kid?" The answer is a resounding FUCK NO, not once. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, no charges will be brought if they agreed to no contact. It's bittersweet, but I can see the stress out of my stepdad's face now.

Will post the long version when I get some time, but basically one really fucked up person (the mother) hurt a LOT of people in our family just trying to stop visitation.
TMC , sorry to hear that but glad that it seems to be working out ,make sure the 9 year old nephew gets the help he needs.

Hey, congrats OTM! Don't sell yourself short, if it's something you are proud of share it.

Mixed bag but end of the day good news:

Got a call at 8am from my 17yo daughter -
Dad the police are here and you gotta come home now.

Me. What happened i ask (as i feel like an impending heart attackis in progress )

Daughter - a car drove through our fence and is in our yard.

From that start: my dog got out and so i spent a day back and forth searching on a code red heat day for a dog that struggles on 80 degree days.

At 4 went into work and at 530 the good news that she was found. She is hurt but alive and we have her back so bottom line this makes it into the good news section.

I would have had a heart attack for sure. Glad everyone as ok and dog was found. [emoji3]

And congrats mooby, malcolm, C-red, and OTM. I hit a solid 250 yarder on the course the other day. Straight down the middle of the fairway. It was an outing we do every year for our friend who was murdered. So we were playing best ball. It was the only drive of mine we used all day [emoji19]
But it was a beauty [emoji44]

“Why 2017 Was the Best Year in Human History”

Really good article here. While majority of the media constantly focuses on a negative shit and even bullshit these days, progress goes unnoticed it seems.
