Nice News Revisited November 2023 Exercise Challenge

[sophy1996]

Congratulations to ShannyMcB for turning Pleasant Purple and to CarolineBowmanFan37 for exceeding goal and turning Great Green! And the TEAM has turned Positive Pink!

This weekend I heard about the Late Late Toy Show for the first time. Every year for the holiday season, Ireland's talk show The Late Late Show puts on a special Toy Show edition which features children performing and toy demonstrations and try-outs. I understand it's huge in Ireland--everyone stays up late to view. This year (Friday night) was the host's first Toy Show, and apparently he did a great job. Lots of nice stories arising from the Toy Show--including that the charity appeal raised 3.1 million euros!

Thanks for joining me this month! Here are a few last nice stories that I didn’t get to:

A young man was named a hero for being the UK's kindest person

LA County awarded a girl a unicorn license for her 7th birthday

Boy surprised with Fisher-Price toy that looks like him

Man who hadn't missed work in 27 years rewarded by crowdfunding donations

And finally, a collection of Disney pixie dust stories from Reddit.

Well, I ended up getting sick too. But things are finally back to normal here, and I managed 85 minutes since my last post, for a finish of 320/500.

I didn't make goal for November, but it's a fresh new month today, so I plan to get back in the routine!

Thanks for an inspiring month, @sophy1996! I think my favorite story was the one about the UK's kindest person. We need more Sebbies in this world!

With those additional minutes, the TEAM finishes at 110%!!

Sorry to hear you were sick, but glad things are back to normal. So much crud is going around!

That was one I saw only a few days ago. So glad you liked it!

I've not logged on the disboards in a few days. Do we not have a December thread yet? If not, I can start one later today.

No, no one started one. It would be great if you wanted to do it!

 

[Elizabeth Smith]

I have the December thread up. I need help with the theme, guys!
