waking up in the middle of the night because you need to go pee so bad and then you go to the bathroom and then you go back to bed and the bed feels like 1000% better than it did when your stupid full bladder woke you up.

Dunno, when I lived there it was pretty hard to find a decent spot until I broke down and paid for a continuous parking stall in the winter.  I usually parked over on 47th and Belleville or over by the Unity Temple or whatever it is called.  I lived at 700 Ward.

mrs.hamburglar has a 3-month old baby red-eared slider in a 20 gallon tank.  When we feed it we put it in a tupperware dish because it can be a messy eater.  When it's time to feed it you just put your palm out in it's water and it immediately swimmers over, sits in your palm, and looks up at you as it waits for you to move it to it's feeding tank.  It's a little thing that makes me feel good and brings me joy.

Oh yeah, great one.

The only summer i went home in college, whenever I'd drive back to MHK, i'd roll down the windows when I passed the scenic outlook and give my heartiest howl.

When you walk through the door after a long day and your dog is waiting to greet you, wagging its tail with a purpose.

^ This is even better after a long trip.
:sdeek: well I imagine it was pretty hungry!

Taking good care of my two dogs and cuddling them.  They're good souls and they really deserve it.

 :thumbs:  my dog is the most naturally happy being i've ever encountered.
   

Adding to this, I get a good amount of joy from feeding mrs.hamburglar's baby turtle.

what in the world the hamburglar

mrs.hamburglar has a 3-month old baby red-eared slider in a 20 gallon tank.  When we feed it we put it in a tupperware dish because it can be a messy eater.  When it's time to feed it you just put your palm out in it's water and it immediately swimmers over, sits in your palm, and looks up at you as it waits for you to move it to it's feeding tank.  It's a little thing that makes me feel good and brings me joy. 
Those things are loaded with salmonella. fwiw

Oh, you're silly. I always arrange for someone to look after my dog if I'm going to be away for more than just a couple of hours.

Is there a better simple pleasure for an expat emaw than getting off work and checking out a freshly woken goEMAW full of morning vigor?

I prefer falling asleep early after a big game (win or lose) and then checking the drunken mayhem I missed the next morning... but both are v nice.

basketball meltdowns are especially delightful, especially if zacker is involved.

Flying a kite. I took my girls to the park and got it like 200 feet in the air. I’m going to put it on a fishing reel for next time and see how high I can get it.

Sitting of my back porch watching an AA plane come in to land every 2 minutes. I think AA is moving a bunch of planes to the Tulsa service center. I live 6 miles north and 1/2 mile east of the N/S runway with a west facing back porch, so I have a perfect view and am the prefect distance from the planes on approach.

We have a covered patio. At the edge we have 2 pod swings for my daughters. I’m sitting on an outdoor couch with my feet up watching my daughters in their pod swings banging into each other giggling, the planes coming in behind them & the sun setting behind the planes. It’s actually perfect.

Yeah, great job Hamburglar.  We all need some more rough ridin' gratitude in our lives.  I certainly need more.
