1. No. Extremely far from yes.
Not in the slightest bit.
At all.
I don't think that's good, LOL.

2. Sure. Mostly. Like, on the whole.
Franky, the Heineken I just finished helped a lot.

4. Not really, to be honest.
Some personal problems. I'm as happy as circumstances can allow right now.

5. I'm in Boston
Having a wonderful time with the Red Sox series, the Patriots, and John Kerry. This time we get the trifecta!

6. Yes. I am usually a very happy person.
I try to stay upbeat and positive.

But I am indeed happy.

Certain things get me depressed during the day and the state of our country gets me down but with the things I can really control on a day-to-day basis, I am happy.

7. No
But perhaps I can thoroughly distract myself long enough until I am.

8. Very happy. I tend to be always happy. Though I am very worried.
I fear for the future of this country, and for the planet, if that asshole monkey-fellating imbecilic war criminal AWOL fuckknob useless piece of human shitbag evil dangerous filth gets "elected" again.

Other than that, pretty happy.

9. Long, long ways to go to get to happy
but it's a bit of a trek to "pit of neverending misery and despair," too.

;-)

10. Nope
I have 5 classes this semester and my ex just came out of the closet. It's going to take time before I'm happy again.

11. In general, yes. Pretty optimistic type, drives my poor hubby crazy. But
at the moment, not really. It's been a helluva few years:
Our daughter died in a car accident, leaving two small children.
Both our dads died within 8 months of each other.
Lost the best job I ever had, outsourced to cheap foreign labor (and I had the 'privilege' of training my replacements).
Am now making less than half of what I used to make.
Hubby became seriously ill in June, had three surgeries and spent almost a month in hospital, and at the time he was a seasonal employee and I was a temp, so no insurance.
Heading for collection on all kinds of bills 'cause I can't keep up (he still is not able to work) and I can't pull money out of my ass...
County is balking and taking its sweet freakin' time letting us know if our application for medical assistance is approved; same with fuel assistance.
Have applied for a better job; got the second interview (one of two people who got that far, yay, but have not heard yet...)
And the fucking Republicans are STILL lying sacks of shit.
And my Freeper brother keeps telling me that I am lucky because I make so little I don't have to pay much in taxes...sheesh. He pays more in taxes in a week than most people make in a month, but he whines about it constantly, which doesn't help my mood much.

SO! Sorry to rant on and on, but you did ask....*lol*
Oh well. I woke up breathing, so I guess it's a good day. *sigh*

12. Well, no.
I'm in a different state from my SO, and I'm not happy with my job.
Likely will be moving soon and that may fix a lot of it.

18. Watch out for thrush/yeast.
Seriously, sometimes (especially after a c-section and IV antibiotics), nursing moms can develop a yeast infection in their breasts. If you're still sore, and/or pink, flaky, and feel maybe a slight burning inside, it might be the case. I could find some links or more info for you if you'd like.

Sorry about the owies. :hug:

16. That's an interesting and complicated question.
Am I happy?

In some ways yes

In other ways no

And most of the time - somewhere in between.

23. No
Not particularly unhappy at the moment, but not quite happy. Been in a bit of a funk for a few months. Hoping it's election fatigue.
