We could use a "feelgood" thread.
Everyone has some little thing that makes him or her feel good; a memory, a smell, a word, an act. Let's hear about them.
I love having my hair brushed.
Next?

one time i was on vacation with my family.. and i had to pee really bad (sorry if thats awkward) and i had to wait two hours before we found the nearest toilet because we were stuck in the middle of a traffic jammed highway in new jersey... and it just felt good to finally be able to relieve myself..

dont know if thats the type of thing that should go here... but its a true story.. :embarrassed:

My simple pleasures are
chocolate fudge cake

hey what did you think I had put ?:embarrassed:

simple pleasure: talking to brighter :smile:

Ha, Demented said that chocolate would feature prominently on this thread.

Blueberry danish. Blueberry muffins. Blueberry pancakes. Blueberry Kickstart juice.

Nothing makes me feel good as the smell of sun sreen,
that lovely banana-ey smell, or huggs from the yummy sun

Simple pleasure, and it doesn't get any simpler: winter.

Hitting 160mph at 17,000rpm :twisted:

The smell of snow!

yes.. i may be crazy..

Being able to release water after crossing your legs for an age. (yes I know, already posted but it's worth a second mention)

A hot ginger and Lemon tea after a crap night at work

mountain dew!

Eating the last chocolate in the box, only to find out there is another layer underneath.

Still finding one more beer in the fridge

Dancing to good music

The sound of waves lapping against the shoreline in the early morning.

Banana waffles with maple syrup, whipped cream, and strawberries. YUM!

Spaghettios with meatballs!

Homemade cooking!

watching tv with my favorite person

Watching T.V. when all the good shows are on. And watching T.V. and being on the computer at the same time.

My simple pleasure - seeing Mr. Vik enjoying the food I cooked for him! I love cooking and I really love seeing it all getting eaten up with gusto.

Dancing to good music

yeh , good music makes me feel good.

And findin something FUN on tv on a sunday. that's rare

on a sunday...
Family guy
American Dad
The War at Home

Dude you forgot the simpsons, premieres at 9pm!

oh yeah!!!
they're doing the new one this weekend right?
The sound of The Simpsons?

No idea bro. The fox channel for latin interest, which is based in chile, is still airing the 2005 episores as "new", and i cannot get the american fox or any of the channels where the simpsons is syndicated. We do get pleeeeeeenty of reruns, which i'm not complaining about.

Like it takes a freakin year to put subtitles on a 22 minute show.

it's sort of like the smell of rain... and it feels crisp and fresh outside. :)

snow does have a smell!

Oh I love that.
I also love seeing someone who you haven't seen in a long time and still being friends, and acting like it was yesterday since you've seen them.

Whoyou,
Remember those friendships, don't lose touch with those people, they will always be special to you.
Yes, snow has a smell, but don't really care if I ever smell it again, had enough of that crap in my childhood. Now I love the smell of rain, oh wait, even better is the smell of the first grass mowing in the springtime.

Laying in a HOT bath, with scented candles, a glass of wine and a good book.
Pure bliss

A full moon, and no not in that way.:twisted:

being able to talk to brighter..

being able to breath :biggrin:

/me thinks ele has said "talking to Brighter" at least three times in this thread.

Another simple pleasure of mine, duvet days.

SP: going up to a very high mountain to just drink the water

Free Lunch ;o)

Region meeting of all the Local Area Business Managers and they always put on way too much lunch for them, because there's usually a few who don't turn up.

this would rock so much if it was the 69th post in the thread, or the 69th reply, but...

no one remade the Random Funnyness thread, so this is going here.

EDIT: argh. i can't figure out how to get images into my posts anymore. i had it down a while ago... then i think i forgot it all over again. urgh.

Gracie, when you're using photobucket, use the last one in the list (I think) if not, use *insert link here*

EDIT: argh. i can't figure out how to get images into my posts anymore. i had it down a while ago... then i think i forgot it all over again. urgh.

The problem was that the link was not the direct link to the image, it was just a link to view it on a photobucket page within your account. I've fixed it though.

And how's a triple 69 work?

simple pleasure for the morning... waking up at 8:05 and managing to make it to an 8:15 class before the teacher was there :twisted:

i didn't get any of that. so, for photobucket, how do you get the direct link to the image? i thought that was it. :S

and what do you mean, how's a.. oh. never mind. :eek:

hehe. that reminds me... for English, we're doing some speeches... this guy was talking about picking blueberries. near the beginning, he said something along the lines of "you want to grab a bunch like this." he then mimes grabbing something round... that reminds the class of.. heh. we all burst out laughing. later on in the speech, he was saying things about freezing them, and storing them... then he said "unless you want to eat them right away, you shouldn't wash them because they'll get soft." the class was in hysterics.

Any ways back to simple pleasures



gin and tonic with a curly wurly

Old fashioned, no ice.

Gracie, to get images off photobucket:
(picture here. xD)
Click on that. It'll copy the code, then you just need to paste it into the reply area.

is that what you meant?

yeah, i guess that's what i meant. i don't get the difference between them, though.

Simple Pleasure: soft kleenex.

Driving in a torrential rainstorm with a fresh coat of Rain-X on your windshield. (might not be available in the UK)

Caramel apple cheesecake bars with streusel topping!!!! Just had some at a friend's house last night, it is to die for!!!! It is so good it might not even qualify as a "simple" pleasure.

the fact that we can have showers with hot water.

being able to get my point across in a couple of languages.

good teachers who really understand what they're talking about, and are able to put the subject matter into terms that are easily understood.

SP - that smell that comes when you first turn the radiators on on a cold day. It's kind of a hot, metal smell. I don't know why I like it so much, it just smells like warmth.

SP2 - A glass of Ameretto after a nice meal.

Having the cashier check your ID when you buy booze...when you're really old! (it just happened yesterday)

Holding my grandson and he falls asleep in my arms

My 5 year old randomly saying "Mummy you make my heart all warm" :)

Just realising, how precious life is

Cuddling my wife
(And buying clothes)

SP's mostly come from my children who remind me in a hundred different ways to stop stressing about what might be and live in the moment....the random giggles, the looks of pure joy and surprise and wonder at things that you forget were so joyful and surprising and wonderful because you're now a grown up with too many things to worry about.

Coming back from Bruny Island on the ferry, we got out of the car and went to the top deck. The kids leaned over to watch the waves as the ferry pushed through the water. Ten minutes of discussing the possibilities of what might be in the water and whether they might see a dolphin! and enjoying the sensation of the wind in my face rather than worrying about whether they would fall, are they warm enough, however am I going to get the dirt off their feet cos they left their shoes in the car..... SP.

SP hearing my baby saying Mummy perfectly clearly for the first time whilst smiling up at me with his new peggy grin..The stuff that makes everything else seem small
:) :)

waking up and realising it's saturday a no work

SP: reading pleasant posts about people being content with life =)

Hmm... reading a good book and being so engrossed in it that you forget everything else around you. That's my simple pleasure. And it's a good job I like reading seeing as I'm over halfway through an English degree!

SP Just looking back through old photo albums :)

SP: A glass of red and a hazlenut yoghurt whilst watching a DVD.

thunder storm in middle of summer :)
