I need to share my joy! (aka the Happy Thread)

[Paulbot]

Congrats UM!


Holy Hell..... that's awesome news UM!!!!! :D

so happy for you buddy, you're gonna have your own little instant family!

as far as names go..... its gotta be Optimus & Megatron, yeah? ;) lol

If you're going to have twins, surely there's better names than that.

Say: Skids and Mudflap?

[janda the red]

Congrats UM!

I know lots of little girls and boys named Megatron..... ;) lol

I do think however... calling a child "skids" or "mudflap" is setting them up for a fall at school age! :p

[SuspectimusPrime]

Pounce and Wingspan? ;)

[CHILENO20]

Sunstreaker & Sideswipe for me (& yes, I know they're not twins :p )

[Ultra Mackness]

I'm going to be away for a few weeks so my attendance on the board will be a little light.

The reason we're going away for so long is we're going on what's called a babymoon before we do all the Christmas stuff. Apparently it's a thing that people do these days when they're expecting children.

My wife is Pregnant, ... with Twins!! We're so happy, excited and terrified all at the same time, we need to move, buy a pram and a new car with room for two baby seats, and that's just the start. She's at about 22 weeks this week coming and already starting to struggle.

UM that is fantastic news and a heartfelt congratulations to you and your wife!

Gosh that is exciting! Congratulations to both of you :) and good luck! :p

But they are twins. Check out their G1 bios.

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!! :eek::D:eek::D:eek::D:eek::D That is awesome news!!!! Congrats to you both!!!!


Congrats UM, that's great news.


Twins :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Congratulations dude! excellent news! :)


Twinning... congrats mate

Enjoy the babymoon, and make sure that your wife gets a massage... she is going to need it


A massive congrats UltraMarginal!! You'll love it!!


Congrats to you and your wife! Apparently the wife also gets a ring when the baby (or babies) is born or so my wife convinced me when we had our first. Enjoy as much sleep as you can get now lol!


Congrats Mr UltraM, I don't know what I'd've done if our first ultrasound had showed that we were having twins, probably fainted. Ours is still in special care, no longer on any machines, saying he could be home for xmas (he's not up to birth weight yet after 10 days, but was only on glucose for the first 2.5). Still not prepared at home, but spending a fair whack of each day there.

As for the ring, I've heard that before, I know for a fact my dad gave my mum one for each kid. Don't tell my wife though !


Akky82, congrats on your new family addition, I hope everything is still going well and you're able to all be at home tomorrow for Christmas day!!



Daburu congrats mate! This is phenomenal news! :):D

"Sideswipe is nearly the equal of his twin brother, Sunstreaker"

Thank you all so much for the kind wishes and positive vibes!!!!:o I just showed Mrs UltraMarginal and we're both truly touched.

As for names, we have figured out we need to decide on 3 pairs, two boys, two girls and a boy and a girl. just in case. I don't think I'm in for naming after pop culture Icons so I might have to give Skids and Mudflap a miss. Mrs UltraMarginal thinks that Megatron is a horrible girls name!

We've been looking at houses, since we currently live in a flat, but we've just figured out that we need to really start looking at cars, and we need to get a pram first to make sure we pick a car the pram fits in. . .

Anyway, tomorrow is Christmas, many well wishes to everyone on the board and your family and friends, may your holidays however long be enjoyable.

[GoktimusPrime]

Twinferno and Doublecross. :)

Much congrats. May I suggest that you get unboxing the rest of your TF backlog before they're born, cos finding the time to do it afterwards will be quite the challenge. ;) Also, prepare to remove the words "sleep" and "quiet" from your vocabulary. :p

[UltraMarginal]

At 0046 and 0053 Our Baby boy and Baby Girl were born this morning at only 33 weeks.

They are both doing well, only needing to have a feeding tube and be in the humidicrib environment. they will be in hospital for several weeks and we'll be there every day to see them.
Mrs UltraMarginal is also doing very well, unfortunately we don't have names yet because they weren't expected this early. We're working on it today.

I figured they'd stay in my vocabulary but instead of meaning 9am meaning 6am:(


We named them last Tuesday, Ethan Jasper UltraMarginal and Zoe Hayley UltraMarginal.

Ethan is now out of the humidicrib and they are both feeding and doing very well. I've changed several nappies already on them both, only been peed on once so far. We hope to bring them home in about 4 weeks.
Every day my wife goes in to tend to them and spend time with them, I go straight over after work, and if I get there in time, I get to take temperatures change them before their feed for the evening. I'll be taking some leave when they come home. They are disgustingly cute, I am going to struggle saying no.

Again thank you all for the wonderful words and thoughts
Dallas

[BigTransformerTrev]

Dude! Twins! :eek::D:eek:

Oh man - super, mega, huge, sincere congrats to you and your good lady!


(I hear Trev and Trevina are very 'in vogue' names right now if the current names don't work out)


Seriously man, we've never met but I wish I was there right now to give you a massive congratulatory hug :)

Congratulations Dallas! Lovely names too.

Glad to hear that Ethan is out of the humidicrib and that both he, Zoe, and Mrs UltraMarginal appear to be healthy after the early birth.

You're sounding like a loving doting father already! :D

And they get cuter! Wait until they start giggling, then giving you big doughy eyes, then talking... so much ahead of you mate, and a lot of caving to their demands lol.

Spend as much time off as you can. I was lucky to have 8 weeks with my first and it was the best thing i could have done.

oh shit, I was trying to steer clear of pop culture references. The only one of those that was intentional was Jasper but it's a reference to Jasper, Canada where we spent part of our Honeymoon.

This thread needs to be bumped more often :)

Been on holidays for 2.5 weeks - went to Peru and climbed Machu Picchu via the Inca Trail. The views and more importantly the trek were unforgettable. We were pretty high on oxygen on the final day, and ran through most of the 7km trail. We committed to this 1 year ago and started taking training seriously 6 months ago. Really lucky to have been with a good bunch of friends.

[1AZRAEL1]

^^ what he said. There's so much bad stuff in the world that happy stuff needs a boost.

Ran into 2 of my best friends tonight by absolute random chance, like stars lining up and destroying the universe kind of chance. One i got spare minute to say hello to, the other a good 10mins. And also got to hang out with another for a fair amount of my shift at work. Turned into a better day when most days are not good

[MayzaPrime]

I have some happy news... I have bought a place, we are already in the settlement period so only a couple of weeks before we move in.

It took 2 months but I have already packed my Transformers collection up, it was a rather big job. :D

The only downside is that I will be reducing my Transformers collecting as I will now only focus on Masterpiece

[UltraMarginal]

Congratulations on the new place Mayza!
I'm dreading our inevitable move and the need to pack away my collection.

Sounds like an awesome trip Suspectimus, one of these days I'm going to make my way there.

Its great coming across old mates by chance Az. glad you were able to make the most of it.


A little update on our kiddles, they are doing well. they came home from the hospital after 4 weeks and have been growing, eating, sleeping, spewing and shitting ever since, not necessarily in that order. :eek::D

we're so blessed, they are the centre of our lives. I need sleep so bad.

[jazzcomp]

Congrats, Mayzaprime!

Great to know that the bubs are doing well, UM!

From something that sucked to something good

Not sure if many of you heard in the news, the florist at Central station was involved in an attempted robbery last night. Poor guy had a broken bottle put to his throat and ended up with a cut and the perp shot by police and killed. This florist is one of the nicest guys around. Not deterred, he still opened today. Went down and just bought him a rose. Didn't look I was the only one to buy him flowers too. That was good to see

[DaptoDog]

I just pulled off a most unthinkable Poker comeback.

I won a ~150 player poker tournament in Wollongong tonight after at one stage being down to my last chip of only $5k when the blinds were already $30k! I joked that I only needed to double up my stack 3 times and I'd be back in the game.

Sure enough I did and after 5 hours I took the 1st prize of $700! It would be close to statistically impossible to come back from that. On such a high now, I don't know how I'm going to get to sleep. It was my first proper poker tournament in 8 years! :D:D

[Raider]

Congratulations mate. Indeed what a come back.

Az, great to see there are still some decent people in this world.

I love a good come from behind story ... especially in a game of poker.

Thanks guys. I used the common poker phrase "I've got a chip and a chair". Today I looked up the origin of that phrase, it was coined by Jack Straus. In 1982 he won the WSOP after being down to his final chip early in the tournament.

[jazzcomp]

Great gesture, Az.

Well done, DaptoDog! I was always interested in Poker but I just played with friends before - the usual poker night, beer and feed.

My basketball team won last night :D Everyone played well. There was this player who kept on hacking/illegal screens and I was able to get him to commit an unsportmanlike foul.- made the free throws and had ball possession. Initially thought it was a double foul since I played as physical as he did but he pushed me so hard that the refs saw it :D

[snaketales]

Thought I'd lost my robot heroes beast wars Megatron - turned the attic space upside down and found him hiding behind Fortress Maximus. Must have fallen from the shelf.
It might be a sign that I've got too much when I thought just buying another one would be easier than looking for it. Perseverance for the win!

So yesterday my wife mentioned that it's been 16 years since we started going out! 16 years, my how time flies. It was after a shift at Coles, where we both worked while studying. We went down to the Coogie Bay Hotel for a chat and a drink, we ended up talking until they kicked us out, then I walked her back to her place and talked more and then I went home while the sun was coming up. I remember walking/running up the hill pretty much high as a kite with excitement.

good times. and so many more to come. :cool:

[CHILENO20]

Happy that I've secured 2 Grotusque sets from US TRU and sent to my friend in the US to get forwarded to me. 1 per customer be damned. More than I wanted to pay for a deluxe, but want it

It’s a great figure, excellent paint apps and a good use of the mould. I paid overs for it as well and am satisfied.:)

As do I when I occasionally think back that far. We're coming up on our 9th wedding anniversary soon.

[1AZRAEL1]

How'd I miss that story. Is a nice story UM.

Reminds me of how I met my missus. Was with my then gf when I decided in a month to move to Penrith to be closer to her. 2 weeks out she breaks up with me. I decided I needed a new start anyway so went ahead with it. A week later after a night of alot of drinkin at a pub with my housemate, got back home and jumped on MySpace and saw a friend request from someone local. So I added her. 2 days later we're up talking online until dawn and we'd made plans for her to come over after some sleep and she'd show me around. Instead we stayed in watching first few seasons of Family Guy. Coming up to 11years together and 6 married. I'll be honest, I wouldn't have survived on my own away from my parents if she didn't come along

[Raider]

My son played his first game of Rugby today for the Burra U6s. Not only did he have a blast but he scored a try too. Feeling proud :D

it needs a fresh coat of paint and a few other things done but it's got 'good bones' and a yard, a bit of a view and room for the kids to grow and play.

pumped, but now I need to pack my collection, and everything else, and buy a lawnmower for the first time in my life.

Congrats, UM. :)

[BigTransformerTrev]

We bought a house!

it needs a fresh coat of paint and a few other things done but it's got 'good bones' and a yard, a bit of a view and room for the kids to grow and play.

pumped, but now I need to pack my collection, and everything else, and buy a lawnmower for the first time in my life.

Good on ya man - well done!

[M-bot]

I work in the community, and for a winter’s day, the weather in suburban Melbourne today is absolutely stunning.:D

[UltraMarginal]

Awesome dude!

I work in an office, but I very much enjoyed stepping outside at lunch (in Sydney) must just be a good day today:cool:

[1AZRAEL1]

Time to post some happiness.

Done some intergroup medieval fighting today, was an absolute blast. Been a while since I've done some great fighting with some great people. Bruised and battered but well worth it. Now later this month is our camp which is great again.

Cool! I come home bruised and battered from baseball sometimes, I call that fun too :D

Gotta have a hobby ay? I kinda miss playing baseball, but unfortunately it has given me bad knees years later.

it's those rare times I accidentally catch a line drive with my leg instead of my glove, or have to slide without warming up properly before the game that really hurt.

were you a catcher? that will destroy your knees.

Warming up wasn't always my strong suit lol.

It was the twisting of my knees when I was in bat that caused my bad knees. At least that's what my footy physio told me. I was a pitcher, and a damn good one too. And outfield too. Alot of running.

So after a truly crappy year, I managed to not only give myself a clean collection room for the holidays, but I successfully disassembled and repaired the electronics on my G1 Galvatron!!!!

How awesome is that?!?! :D:D:D:D:D

[BigTransformerTrev]

It rained! After over 2 months it rained on our farm!

Only 18ml so not much, but damn, after 2 months of dry scorching heat we’ll take it! :D

[Sinnertwin]

Yay! We've had rain constantly for a while now, great to see you getting some your way :)

Bottas beat Hamilton in the F1, naaah nah nah nah naaah nah

[GoktimusPrime]

Hurrah!

I don't enjoy the rain but I am loving the coolness. I hate the heat. Absolutely hate it. Downside is that my Tai Chi classes will probably be cancelled (the downsides to training outdoors in parks), and the Karate Dojo that I recently started training at is doing grading tests this week (which I'm not doing) so... looks like my training schedule's gonna be taking a back seat this week.

Still, sounds like great news for farmers. :) <thumbs up>

Congrats mate. Great too here. Also good to see some posting in this thread. Wish it received more action than the venting thread does as we need more positives.

Ended up getting another 12ml over that night so 30ml all up. Very welcome indeed, though we need a solid week of rain like that to make even a little difference to the subsoil moisture level. Still, happy to get something at least.

I had a giggle about that too.

So, my son is edging close to 3 now (in just under a month) and we have been teaching him to ride horses. He has a Shetland Pony which we have been taking to 'horsey shows' for a few weekends and he really seems to love it.

On Sunday we went to one an hour away; have been practising hard for two weeks for it. Since he's only young he is Led around an arena (by me) for the shows until he's independent enough to do it for himself.

We went in with no expectations but he CLEANED UP. We were gobsmacked. He won a ribbon in everything he entered and in the end we came away with 19 ribbons (majority 1sts, some 2nds, one 3rd and one 4th) and this included a Champion Pony ribbon and a Reserve Champion Rider ribbon. He competed in novelty events (like an egg an spoon race on the back of a horse) and he won those too! At the end an announcer told us that we should hang around for presentations; while there he was presented with THREE trophies!! Including the one for most overall points of anyone who competed!! I'll re-iterate, he's not even 3 yet!

We are both super proud parents!

Congrats mate. Great accomplishment for the little guy.

I guess that technically this doesn't belong in Transformer threads ;) but just want to say I'm so happy that my 2019 grail arrived today. Unused Diaclone Porsche (Jazz).

Thanks for all the support everyone!! Truly this is a community I'm chuffed to be part of :D

Work has been bleh and this week involved a regional trip but the thing that got me through it was working on an illustration for my niece's 8th birthday, so much so that I'm working on a new drawing and considering setting up a red bubble account as secondary income source.

[TaZZerath]

Another week, another success story for my little guy :)

He went to another Pony Club event and received 16 ribbons and 2 trophies. These were again very unexpected and were a great surprise to us. If only he could start winning some prize money to support his family too :D:cool:

I see great things ahead for your son TaZzerath. But yeh you might want to put a golf club or tennis racquet in his hands if you want to set your family up lol. :p

[BigTransformerTrev]

Well its been 4 years since I did any stage work, 12 since I did stand-up and 17 since I did any TV or films, but I'm finally having to dust off the old acting skills :)

Scored a small speaking role on the TV show Doctor Doctor, filming next week :D


Now I'll have to track down the show as I've never actually watched it before. I presume its something to do with medical practitioners :p

Very kind mate. I've already been in a few movies and if yelling obscenities (http://www.bigangrytrev.com/my-immortal-words-on-the-big-screen/) in one and trashing the set (http://www.bigangrytrev.com/unsanctioned-food-fight-on-a-movie-set/) on another didn't get me famous, I doubt getting a couple of lines on an obscure Aussie TV show will do the trick :p

Thanks everyone for your kind & funny words :D :D :D

Nerves are good, didn't really hit me until I started the whole "getting on one knee" bit. But besides that, everything was fine, it feels right. She does joke that I can't have my whole collection on display. Depending on the house we buy, she might be right. She does admit though it's very cool. She's a Disney & HP fan herself so it will also come down to what goes on display. In any case, I'm as happy as a dinobot eating cesium salami :D

When a collection gets past a certain size, into the multiple hundreds, or more than a thousand, having a house with enough room for display of the entire collection without taking over the entire living space is not practical or in most cases reasonable. I wish it wasn't the case but I doubt I'll ever have my entire collection on display at the same time.
Especially if you both have collections.

Yeah, it will definitely a select few that go on show once we get our place. Affordability here in Vic is nuts so a huge house is not exactly something we can get at the moment. Still, I'm happy that I'm doing all this with her :)

We ended up with a solid 40ml! It was very, VERY welcome :)

[SMHFConvoy]

There was a proper thunderstorm last night, probably not enough to put out any of the large fires but at least some rain.

[1AZRAEL1]

Heavy enough for me to wander around in my backyard. It was welcome.

The moment when you ring up you car finance to see how much is left owing only to find out it finished 12 months ago and they will be refunding over 5k.

That is both joyful and horrifying at the same time.
