Hi all! I hope that you are all having a super day, filled with sunshine, smiles, and simming
Awhile back, I held an Optimism Lottery, where the premise was to post fun and uplifting things, and I felt like it was time to do another one! I love how wonderful this community is, and so often it's been a source of great comfort to me when times are hard. I hope that for any of you who are doing it tough, things improve for you, and that you might feel brighter looking at some of the things in this thread.
This will be a lottery where people post pretty much anything as long as it's positive; pretty much anything goes! Inspiration stories/quotes, funny/adorable pictures,
terrible wonderful puns/jokes, fun stuff that's happening in your games, etc. If it makes you happy and you want to share it, please share it
Please read below for rules about entries and prizes and such
[img]http://fontmeme.com/embed.php?text=Rules&name=Confetti Stream.ttf&size=100&style_color=E35B56[/img]Deadline for Entries: 27th March 2016, 7pm EST time
(
http://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/est)
Anyone who contributes something positive to the thread before the above deadline date will be entered into the lottery, whether it's a pic, a poem, a story, a joke, anything!
Everyone will get ONE nomination into the lottery, but you are of course free to post new things if there is more you want to share
No nominations for this because winners will be able to gift however they choose
Winners will be randomly decided through use of
https://www.random.org/lists/ The list of entrants from the entrants list will be put into the list and randomised, and the first 5 in the list will win simpoints (see below for details of winnings)
After winners are announced, winners will have 3 days to claim their winnings. If any winners don't post within those 3 days, a reroll will be done to determine another winner in their place.
Please be kind to one another and follow the rules of the forum

EXTRA!
The positive things happening here in The Optimism Lottery continue the ripple effect because good stuff IS being shared among yourselves and others… bringing smiles to faces and spreading joy & laughter as SimFriends peek at the posts.
Each participant has made our Community a brighter and more fun place to be! Therefore, each deserves a little something that will hopefully continue to spread smiles.
After the winners have been announced and claimed their prizes, those who didn’t place will each be given a goodie bag as our way of saying thank you. Thank you for caring about sharing and spreading the optimism around!
Each goodie bag contains 150 simpoints (to be gifted via wishlist) and is being sponsored by ADWilson (thank you, Addy ).
Those receiving goodie bags will need to post what they’d like to do with their simpoints as well as provide the Sims 3 username so that the correct person gets gifted.
DEADLINE FOR SPENDING WINNINGS NOTICE!
Hi all! This is the final notice for those of you who still have available winnings/goodie bag points to spend.
You have until April 10th to collect/spend your winnings; anyone who does not post in this thread by April 10th with details as to how they wish to spend their points (including wishlist link(s)) will forfeit their points, so please make sure to check in!
Thanks again to everyone who participated!

Shout out to the people who don't understand the opposite of in!
My 'icon/profile picture' whatever the Sims forums calls it, says "I Hope You Feel Beautiful Today." the "Today" is kind of cut off, but I wanted it on there so that everyone who interacted with me could see it. I wish I could add it in a comment, but I have no clue how too.
So I can give you a pun instead:
Becoming a vegetarian is a big missed steak ;D
(Only because I just ate tons of bacon.)

Thank you for posting!
I think it is always nice to remember that we can be strong
I perhaps shouldn't read these kinds of jokes while I'm out in public; literally laughing out loud can make one look a tad odd and I had to giggle at this one
Thanks for sharing
What a sweet pic!
Also, that is a wonderful pun and I love it Thanks for sharing!
Sure! Anything you want to share that is positive, funny, uplifting etc
It's rainy and cold here, but that's actually a nice change from the scorching temperature's we've had recently! I'm currently spending time working on some uni assignments, and finishing up the last of preparation for a presentation I have to do today.
Hope that whatever you're up to, it's a good day

The first time I saw that happen in game I laughed so hard! Perhaps because I'm almost certain I pulled the same kind of clumsy stunt myself in RL due to drawers being a bit stuck
Thanks for sharing

The hamster thing made me giggle; I've never had any pets other than cats, but even they can be pretty ridiculous with their food, haha!
Have a happy night all!
I'm off to work on some assignments:
