The bad news is that GG may be tempted to forget the message and pursue his own agenda. :boink:

The Good News is that the weather here is cool and VERY clear. :)

The bad news is that we're getting far too much rain.

The Good News is that the city will soon be scheduling the street sweeping trucks down our street.

The bad news is they may sweep up all the coins you used to find laying around.

The good news is the coins they sweep up could be given to charity.

The bad news is they're more likely to end up in a landfill. :(

The Good News is that my neighborhood will be marginally cleaner than it used to be.

The bad news is that it'll be dirty again tomorrow. :(

The good news is that is could be fun to organise a working bee and clean the streets together.

The bad news is that someone will start complaining that so-in-so isn't doing their fair share. :(

The good news is that the complainer and the slacker will be the same person, who will experience public humiliation as a result.

The bad news is that they often just leave the project after they complain but before it's discovered that they're the slacker.

The good news is that we can then have fun talking behind their backs.

The bad news I'll keep think of that saying they taught me as a kid, "If you can't say something nice about someone, you shouldn't say anything at all." :(

The good news is, we Pixies can always think of something nice to say about each other!

The bad news is that not everyone we meet is a Pixie. :(

The good news is that over time many will find Pixies-Place and join us. :wish:

The bad news is that there are HEAPS of leaves I must rake up!

The good news is that a good strong breeze could eliminate the heaps.

The bad news is that the strong breeze came from Dearsweet; the leaves are now all swept up.

The good news is that most of my Christmas shopping for the kid is DONE!!! :thumbs:

The bad news is that we still have a little more to do to help ol' Santa out a bit.

The good news is that Christmas will soon be over.

The bad news is that it's almost time for the dreaded New Year's resolution, which I will surely vow to do and then break by week two.

The good news is that knowing you'll break the resolutions, you may be able to skip creating any in the first place. :boink:

The bad news is that someone always cons you into making some stupid resolution that you really don't mean.

The good news is that maybe they're happy thinking they got you to make the resolution.

The bad news is that one of the cats just barfed on the carpet! :(

The good news is that I got the majority of my Christmas shopping done. :thumbs:

The bad news is that we still have to set up our Christmas tree. :(

The good news is that he wrapped presents that have my name on them!! :cheerlead

The bad news is that I've still got to wrap the presents I've bought.

The good news is we've still got nearly three weeks.

The bad news is that time goes by way too fast. :(

The good news is that there may be somethin' sthpethal under the tree, just for me!

The bad news is that I've got to put my own special stuff under my own tree.

The good news is that means you'll get what you want. :)

The bad news is that I don't have much money to spend on myself.

The good news is ... well ... there's got to be some somewhere. :(
