I got this idea after Ches linked a Random Happiness to a Random Complaint in the RC thread.

Post a problem/bad situation, and then finish it with a positive way of looking at it. If you cant think of anything positive, maybe other members can help.

Problem: Now I can't think of anything that is bothering me......
Pollyanna: Isn't it great that I have nothing to worry about at the moment.

(yes that was lame, but I hope the idea catches on)
Saph
xx

heh, good thread idea.

Problem: I wish I was a good driver.
Pollyanna: Aren't I lucky I get such great exercise by walking everywhere?

I'm an inspiration... :D

Problem: Transports from testing to live have gone fubar
Pollyanna: It wasn't me :)

LOL Ches. It's always good when someone else can be blamed....

Problem: Only two members have posted on this thread :(
Pollyanna: Seems that most of you have nothing to worry about :)

Problem: the summer school i'm going to is far away.
Pollyanna: at least i finally got registered at a summer school, that was ridiculous.

Problem: no idea why it's being called "Pollyanna."
Pollyanna: er.. it's a nice name.

LOL gracie - you never saw "Pollyanna"? It's a classic movie based around a young girl who can find something positive in everything.

I got it out of the library for my daughter to watch a couple of years ago, remembering the good theme and hoping that she would learn from it. I forgot in the end though that Pollyanna sustains a spinal injury and ends up a quadrigplegic......not one of my best parental decisions.... :)

OK this one is perfect:
Problem: My husband has been out of town for months
Pollyanna: At least I don't have extra laundry and cooking to do.

Problem: series finale of Gilmore Girls. :(
Pollyanna: one more to watch, and it was a good show.

Problem: Having to face a lot of red tape before getting something you truly want
Pollyanna: Facing your fears and winning!

Problem: I missed the last few episodes of it gracie... well actually I missed right from when she proposed.
Pollyanna: Gracie can fill me in!


when... SHE proposed? errrrrr. have you not been following this season, or is that a typo?!

Problem: Getting all sweaty and dirty working in the yard
Pollyanna: It feels so good when you do finally take a shower

Problem: Not having enough time to work in the garden.
Pollyanna: go sit in Pootsie's yard.

HaHaHa Sam...
Problem: People getting in the way of doing my yardwork
Pollyanna: Open a bottle of wine, invite the rest of the forum, and who cares about the yard!?!?

Problem: I'm schizophrenic
Pollyanna: So are we!

problem: my car is in the garage

Pollyanna: at least when you get it back the brakes will work properly

problem: My washing machine is half dead, so I phoned up and ordered a new one, the guy says sorry can't deliver it for a week,

Pollyanna: I told him he can and he will,

so it will be delivered in the morning.

backwards also

Pollyanna: GLASTONBURY!!!! AAAHHHHAAHH :D:D

Problem: the weather looks like its going to be so bad, i plan to pitch up as far away from the toilet tents as possible so at least i wont wake up in a swamp of excretion.

Problem: I've not started studying for my resit yet and it's about a month away.

Pollyanna: I only need 1 week to write notes, and 1 week to revise...so it's okay (right...?) :rolleyes:

*illegal bump*

Problem: Bosses are giving mixed messages about what they want, being degrading, and one is putting on false airs and the other is simply mean.

Pollyanna: They crack me up. My boss wanted me to do a tally for something and this is what she said: "Can you do, like, a bar chart? You know those bar charts with a line going across on the fifth one."

Oh, my sides are aching... I would leave if you weren't so funny, my loves...

HAHA that name looks wrong....Sapphire.....and...banned too.

Sapphire = Saffron's ex-name

Problem: Not done a recording for this week's show yet...

Pollyanna: We have until Wednesday to get something sorted o_0

im confuzzled now, saff was banned? :0

Problem - confuzzled

Polythingy - im always confuzzled? :P

Problem: Have to get my house clean cause Mother in-law comes for a visit tomorrow.

Pollyana: I love my mother in-law and am so excited she is coming!!!

im confuzzled now, saff was banned? :0


I created a second account when I changed my name - I didn't realise you could get it changed. It's against the forum rules to have more than one account. :embarrassed: Anyhoo, it probably would look nicer if someone could unban Sapphire and just delete the account or whatever you do so it shows up as Guest (the way MsNerdinator does)

Oh Sapphire is you Saff :o

Problem: I have an exam on Monday :(
Pollyanna: Think of the opportunities that this could open up for you :)

Problem: The new game i got for my birthday doesnt work on my computer :(
Pollyanne: Just ordered a load of new bits to build a new computer....so another birthday present for me then :P

Ok this is a reverse Polyanna (whoever she/it is)...

Pollyanna: Just had an amazing house party
Problem: Cleaning up :eek:

Aww how come not many people have heard of Pollyanna? She's a classic...
Pollyanna is a best-selling 1913 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1913_in_literature) novel by Eleanor H. Porter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_H._Porter) that is now considered a classic of children's literature (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_literature).

The title character is Pollyanna Whittier, a young orphan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphan) who goes to live in Beldingsville, Vermont (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermont), with her wealthy but stern Aunt Polly. Pollyanna's philosophy of life centers on what she calls "The Glad Game", an optimistic attitude she learned from her father. The game consists of finding something to be glad about in every situation. It originated in an incident one Christmas when Pollyanna, who was hoping for a doll in the missionary barrel, found only a pair of crutches inside. Making the game up on the spot, Pollyanna's father taught her to look at the good side of things—in this case, to be glad about the crutches because "we don't need 'em!".

I knew nothing of the movie, but when I looked at the topic title, my thoughts were like this: "Why are we talking about that song in Earthbound?" Can't believe no one else thought of THAT Pollyanna.

problem: I ate all the doughnuts.
Pollyanna: I can't get fatter!

Problem: I broke my reactor :(
Pollyanna: No more work this year!

I think I'm going to post here instead of just RC from now on... this thread makes me feel so much better coz I can solve my RCs :)

RC: Not checked and done the final version for my French Composition
Pollyanna: I can do it today.
Edit: Whoa, 2 hours. Took longer than expected xD Done it.

RC: Not translated a piece of work for French
Pollyanna: I can do it today.

RC: Someone in my youngest daughter's class has head lice and is not treating them. I check heads every night, and every 2 or 3 days she has adult lice (not hatchlings) and hardly any eggs, so they *must* be coming from someone else......

Pollyanna: I am keeping many people employed at the factory that makes KP24 (er...for those who have not had the misfortune....this is the name of the head lice treatment I use)

Ugh Saffron... I used to have the EXACT same problem with my daughter too! Have a word with her teacher in confidence if you can... it isn't fair on your daughter, you or the poor kid that has them :sad:

Problem: I can't clean my house as thorough as I like too due to my wrist

Pollyanna: Will be cracking the whip like Calamity Jane tomorrow and getting Mr TF to help me. Not sure what image is more funnier... me cracking the whip (literally - wayhay ;) ) or Mr TF with a maids outfit on holding a feather duster :razz: lol

PROBLEM : having to spend precious time clearing out the attic space.

POLYANNA: finding all the books I stored there, that I haven't read for ages.

RC: Last lesson before the holidays and I have a mock.. Aren't they so kind...

Polyanna it up, they care about my results ;) ahah. And also I wont have to do it when I get back from the holidays... :) Hee hee. :)

RC: Went fishing last year, and got caught in the middle of the lake in a torrential rainstorm.
Pollyanna: The boat got a nice washing.

Problem: It never rains, but pours :sad:

Pollyanna: Thank goodness for private healthcare insurance

I took some allergy meds that are making me sleepy.
I needed a forced rest as I have been running at top speed for a week.

Problem: My back hurts from all the bending over I have done today trying to get my house looking nice for friends to come over.

Pollyanna: My house is really nice n clean! Yay!
