Houel:” I overheard this guy say 'He's a nice guy man, I've been telling you that from the start of the tour'.

Hahaha, Score. Had a similar thing, guy I didn’t like grabbed me and threw me by my collar backwards and stepped forward to take a Rottweiler and a Doberman attack on . He never got hurt as his steal capped boots took them both by surprise. It is a weird weird feeling having to rethink your judgments in a heartbeat.

But he may have been like me saving the old lady... reacting rather than anything else. Yours was more a full on act of kindness and she probably had a long time to let that sink in.

Is The Street what was coronation street? I think I have watched one whole episode my entire life and that was over 10 years ago or maybe more.

But I did want it in order, first thing that came to mind. Top of list. Dammit!

I had another one but not sure if it was a moment or some kind or chemical imbalance. Going for a walk, looking up at trees and hills beyond and everything got very bright and I got this very pure feeling of “happy”.

Oops sorry Nic, I get it a lot too since TPP is usually thought of as a male character. I kinda like it as most online folk appear to be a bit more direct in what they say if they believe they are responding to a male.

Nice story, Houellie...some people take a little longer to work out than others - you're one of them.

Nic and TPP...I know exactly what you mean. Don't know why I chose Poirot (although he's been lots of fun). I once started a thread asking OLO members if they thought it made any difference whether they thought they were talking to a male or a female - most responded that it made little difference, although I think it does to some extent.

TPP: is it fair for u do judge what do don't know? Nothing is wrong if I have lots of its. Holding my newborns in my arms? Why state the obvious. All mothers know that. Btw, u do a great at fishing :) I already stated before that u were 95% wrong about me initially.

I have to be very careful in my movements on the internet and wherever I am. After relocating 3 mths ago, I already hv mental cases on my back here. I just want to be left alone wt my kids. But they will never stop.

The its are usually proud moments of our lives, gestures of kindness, raising above other, protecting and standing up for the less fortunate, battling wt what live throws in our path. They should all be its, for me they are. What you believe, is not what others believe. When u give back to life, the joy and satisfaction u get, u know, I know, how it feels.

Those who hv good hearts, intentions, will have a great life no matter what, because they practice the right way to live. Doesn't mean if someone is bad, we have to be worse. Revenge and jealousy is such a problem.

My it today: realizing dat my emotions controls my health, and if I let it take over, I will suffer the consequences.

No it's definitely not coronation street:-)

Each episode is a totally different story. I think their synopsis is 'Ordinary people in extraordinary situations'. It's quite gritty and real life and well acted.

'Going for a walk, looking up at trees and hills beyond and everything got very bright and I got this very pure feeling of “happy”. '

Sounds great!

At this club once I closed my eyes, and I saw myself think. Really. It was all these colours and lines speeding along a highway inside my head. Hard to describe.

Then this other time I got home at 6 am and I had this vision of an American Indian guy and he was moving his mouth but I couldn't hear anything he was saying. He was a bit see-through, and I was a bit scared but I was also quite excited by the whole thing. Wish I knew what he was trying to say.

Oh and this other time I was staring at this coke bottle cap on my bed and a blue flame came out of it. Then I started to actually control it and I could stare really closely and make it get higher, then relax and make it simmer down.

Agreed, a male "image" does attract a more direct response from other posters.

I have found that some people respond slightly more honestly and I suppose more abrupt when they think they're talking to someone of the same sex. I made the mistake of sharing that my partner is a fellow lady lol, I don't get as many head on challenges when I post an opinion now.

maybe because I came out and revealed my gender in the same post.

Too much to handle!! walk away.

Or it could be between the ears, I don't know.

Anyway, sorry to distract from the thread...continue :)

Jinny I feel like you're on defense a lot of the time. I don't see how you have been judged in this thread..nor am I attacking you right now so please don't feel offended.

It seems to me that your mind rarely rests, you have a lot going on and that is understandable, but I think the purpose of this thread is to get the reader to think for a microsecond, and share the thought of happiness that reaches your conscious thinking first, not the one that means the most, which obviously there are too many for most people to choose.

The thread seems to serve a purpose of giving joy to the poster who responds, it is for you to feel good not just the people reading it. You state the obvious because it isn't about what is obvious for everyone else. It is about you. One spontaneous thought of joy.

Your it for today is great by the way.
