Positive news thread!

[SoV]

After the terror attacks, crashes and general misery, and with Bread labelling me a bearer of bad news, I thought of starting a thread for positive news!

Starting with:

An anonymous donor in Denmark has left nearly $200,000 (120,000) in a clothes recycling bin outside a charity shop run by the Red Cross.

The money was found in a bin liner under piles of donated clothing.

The note attached said: "To the Danish Red Cross, from anonymous. Have collected for 40 years."

Followed by:

Call it a case of history three-peating itself: Newborn Mason Parker arrived in the waning minutes of Tuesday, July 19 just in time to share his birthday with both his mom and dad.
Mason hadnt been due to arrive until Wednesday, so parents Jacquie and Paul Parker of Massapequa, N.Y., had been planning to go out and celebrate their mutual birthday with a relaxed dinner.
But Mason had other ideas. He arrived at Long Island Jewish Medical Center Tuesday night, literally in the eleventh hour 11:30 p.m. weighing 8 pounds, 4 ounces.

Have collected for 40 years.

Maybe he was saving all that money just for Red Cross?

Cracking gesture, nevertheless.

I might break down and eat some bacon.

That's positive. Sorta.

Props to whoever found that money in the bin at the Red Cross. Not sure I would have been as honest. I'd like to think I would, but that's change your life type of money and it would be tempting to be equally mysterious and anonymous about it as the donor was.

good idea, but it should be real good news. Not some stupid baby. I guess the no news is good news saying is pretty accurate.

It's good news that none of us are married people living in Australia.

"An adultery website that has almost half a million Australian members is now providing a money-back guarantee if its customers don't have an affair."

We never have to worry about how we'd afford the trip!!!

"HONG Kong physicists say they have proved that a single photon obeys Einstein's theory that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, demonstrating that outside science fiction, time travel is impossible."
