As a counterpoint to the many threads begun on the forums every day that spread and discuss all kinds of unhappy, mean, cruel, sad and bad news stories, I thought I'd try starting a thread for people to post all sorts of "feelgood" stories - animals, people, instititions, countries, you name it. I could be wrong, but I have a feeling there are enough people interested in reading happy stories to keep such a thread going.

But in the spirit of this thread I saw that  teenagers were carrying a casket for a Veteran who had no family left. I never see these bad teenagers he news has on. Most teens I know are so nice.

Thanks for thinking of the thread I put up yesterday about those making wheelchair 'costumes' for disabled kids  

I try to put up positive news when I see it, I agree with moonchilde that it's a good thing for this board

This is a feel good pic for me, trick or treating at the WH.

It looks so festive, and I agree that Baby Pope is cute!

@NoelSeven ... that's cheating ... all babies are cute!  LOL  Especially at Halloween.

More Halloween good news:

I just noticed the photo above has teal pumpkins.  That means they offer special treats for kids with food allergies, nut free and toys.
