Optimist: the blogger who checks Doug's site every morning, hoping to be the first to comment on that day's word!!
An optimist is someone who gets treed by a lion but enjoys the scenery. ~ Walter Winchell
Optimist: see non-conformist.
Optimist: Somewone who KNOWS she has raised 3 sweet kids and hopes that at least the eldest will acknowledge it as part of his extraordinary character.
Also, someone who knows her birthday weekend will be much better than ordinary and who looks forward to her next one. Thanks son!
Some days you're the bird, some days your're the windshield. Optimism is believing and hoping you'll be the latter.
Happy Birthday Doug's Mama! And thanks for our here ring leader. : )
Dddragon, your definition for optimist only counts for someone who isn't already first half-the-time. I like Winchell's quote. I'll have to Google to see if he ever said something else.
Indie, seeing non-conformists must be your sixth sense.
Mama, you got a blogger account? Did my brother "the sweet one" "buy" that for your birthday?
Sar, especially when you have a glass jaw. Thanks for helping wish Mama a Happy Birthday. If you were Stevie's mom, there'd be hope.
believing you look like Al Pacino
Happy birthday Mama Pascover! :))
Optimist - someone who believes Doug looks like Al Pacino.
Optimist- One who believes that despite all the evidence to the contrary our government has our best interests at heart.
Happy Birthday MaMa
The optimist presses the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button on Google. The person who sees the glass half-shattered is a great photographer.
Happy birthday Doug's mama!
Doug sweet? Maybe yes; maybe no
Optimist: a person who doesn't read the paper, listen to any news and thinks that Clinton is still president
One who never gets to say "I told you so."
Happy birthday!
P. S. Stevie looks like an optimist, too.
Optimist: someone who asks for something even if the answer has been "no" every single time before it.
Haha, Karma and Alice. I didnt' say it, a myopic killer said it. Probably a good authority but a good while back. Thanks, Alice for wishing my poor mother a Happy Birthday.
Icy, thanks for the clarification.
Pia, you were describing George Bush, at least up to the last sentence,
True, Weirsdo. You can tell by the lack of smugness. And thanks for sharing the birthday greeting. And yes, he's pretty clueless.
a4g, great definition at least where journalists and bloggers are concerned. "Someone who hopes the bridge falls on a slow news day."
Goa'uld, I think that's just a normal child. As always, chel'nuk that you commented!
Actonbell, I've discovered the Wilde Pezes. And thanks for wishing Mama a happy birthday. I hope you enjoyed yours, other milestones notwithstanding.
Optimist: Someone who believes the world is still a better place.
Happy Birthday Doug's mama and many sweet wishes...
Doug, you look better than Al Pacino ;)
You were always the first one to leave a comment on my blog :( But I'll be an optimist this time :)
Happy Birthday Barbara ! :-)
Marwa, that's because I ate him.
Thanks, Sreekesh, I bet she was waiting to hear from you here.
Great post! Nice to see your mama. Don't be modest: You know she raised a great guy - you!
optimist-somebody who still believes that cod liver oil is a cureall.
And happy birthday to mama!
Happy birthday Mama! I like your son.
Optimist: Someone who can see both sides of a coin, but focuses on the grooved edge instead.
Aw, Aral. I've been hiding my light under a bushel.
LMQN, how about someone who thinks he can keep up with your monogram?
Thanks, Tan Lucy. My mama loves to hear that. I LOVE that definition. *bowing*
Thinking your airplane will arrive on time, your baggage will be waiting for you, and you won't be seated next to a drunken talker.
Jamie Dawn, that's beyond optimism.
Anonymous, thank you. Here's another definition of optimism "Someone like me who believes compliments from anonymous sources aren't spam."
Ariel, great to see you here. I think sharing a birthday and a continent would be almost too much of a coincidence.
One whose faith and hope shine brightly enough to blind reason (see Detroit Tigers fan).
Comfort Addict, I'm a life-long White Sox fan. This year I have more cause for optimism than most, which means I'm really in for it.
Oh, Doug, you can't get your hopes up for the White Sox! It ain't gonna happen! Just change the color of your sox and you too can be a winner. Try, uh let's see...how 'bout RED?
optimist: a person who will take that same spade you called a spade and hit you with it. :p
