The sound of my boys laughing hysterically because one of them just cut the cheese...

Just after I come home in the evening, and I've let the dogs out for their romp and "toilet"...pardon my French...we come in and I sit in my chair and Bus, our boxer, lays down on his bed at my feet and Pip, our Boston Terrier, lays down in my lap while I check my email, the weather and the forum on my iPad. I sometimes think I could, like the movie Groundhog Day, relive those twenty or thirty minutes over and over again...forever.

Spacey,

I enjoyed the amount of thought you put into what you wrote, it was very deep, but in a simple kind of way. I particularly got a very big chuckle out of these two lines:

1. taking a dump and it doesn't stink and easy to wipe.
2. Watching pretty girls .........do just about anything.

Which takes me to one of my simple pleasures....having a sincere good laugh with friends.

My wife has poked me in the ribs more than once while saying in a stern manner, "why do you have to make everything so hard?".
I don't know.

A little Benadryl in the coffee pot may help make your case.

Or better yet to make my day: a little pot in my Benadryl.

It's amazing to me all of the similar simple things many share, but some are quite different too.
 
In my case I "adopted" a dog and when I come home usually about 20 minutes after I'm there the dog scratches on the back glass door and so I go over and give her a snack. If I have extra ham or a turkey carcass left over the dog will get it. I don't know why it's fun but it is and the dog eats well. I like waking up in the morning and knowing that there's no hurry to be anywhere...that doesn't happen very often in my world.
 
I like a hot bath and a good book at the same time. I learned how to control the tub valves with my feet so I don't need to get up to add water. It takes about an hour for the water to get too cold for me to stay in it.I can stay in longer if I let water out and add more.  I like coffee in the morning and I like looking at women too, I learned though that the more you do it the worse things can get. I like a glass of beer or wine every now and then. 
 
Of course I love spending good quality time with my wife. I love it when my grand daughter comes over. I like to eat...sometimes too much. Looking out the window to see what the weather is night or day. I like days off of work. 
 
Love to play in my studio with no particular objective and then something comes from it. I would love a good nap but I can never fall asleep when I'm tired unless it's really late. Sitting on the porch or in the back yard in the summer and no one or nothing is bothering me or asking me a question.I like it when the world doesn't need me for awhile. I come full circle...it's leave me alone, and then where is everybody?
 
I like the CH. You guys are alright. 
 
Spacey I like a good poo in the loo too but all I seem to have are short explosions.
 
Sometimes I simply like not thinking and just being. Call it the dumb zone I guess.
 
 
 

Smoking a cigar, sipping single malt, eating chocolates and watching a good movie or concert footage.
So, this means I must struggle every day not to allow myself the small pleasures.
 
I'm really, really lousy at pleasures, small or big, but I suffer very fluently. I'm not good at living.
 

The really cool thing is you could do all of that at the same time.

Ya hoo!! a simple pleasure tonight...
Gravity in 3d. Delivered today. :)

I think you'll like it Spacey. I went to see it at the theatre in IMAX. Man it was a trip. I wouldn't recommend watching it after wine or strong medications.

Simple Pleasures.  Like being TOP on page 1,000 of the FSF.  Yeah.
