A****y E*e 6175 Report post Posted August 16, 2012 Lately, it's definitely the salted caramel ice cream from the red apron in Ottawa. So good! :) But also, waking up in a pool of sunshine, reading a really good book with a glass of red wine, cooking while dancing around my kitchen, and having a really good conversation, where I finish and feel like I've learned something new about myself. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest S**a*Q Report post Posted August 16, 2012 Coffee and coffee-like products. Writing END on a story I've been working on forever. Seeing kids wipe out. (Don't judge me) Not having kids. Beer. Giving bjs. Metal concerts. Traveling (The morning of, when I realize I'm going somewhere new!) Making others laugh. Making myself laugh. Getting story acceptances. Getting story rejections (means I can send it out again) Photoshoots and model-like things. Being the centre of attention. When I write the word "weird" and spellcheck doesn't say I got it wrong. Orgasms (Obviously) Using ellipses...and not in the right way. :D I could keep going on... I should've said things that do not make me smile, there are fewer of them. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) An unexpected pm from a lady, resulting in making a new CERB friend My cat, enjoying his spoonful or two (ok on a real hot day three) of ice cream Pre encounter emails...two weeks meeting a new lady and the building anticipation through email, it's all part of why this lifestyle makes me happy and puts a smile on my face Memories of previous encounters. Long after the encounter is over, the memory of my time with the lady is still there, and makes me happy Getting a pm from a lady just noting and appreciating support that you have given Getting a email from a lady for an upcoming encounter. She thought because of something that came up from her end, well let's just say she was very apologetic. In reality it was very minor and quickly resolved. Just kinda cute that she thought something in reality so minor was so major.(this makes much more sense if you read the email) When someone pm's me about a lady (happened on a few occasions with a few ladies) and I can wholeheartedly recommend her. Not only does it make me happy that maybe my comments and recommendation might give the lady another client (good for her business) I'm happy that my recommendation can lead a gentleman to a good or great lady, and leads to a good encounter for him Just a few RG Edited August 17, 2012 by r__m__g_uy something else that makes me happy :-) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baileydog 9367 Report post Posted August 17, 2012 ... this makes me smile ------ from today's moment in time (Globe and Mail) August 17, 1957 Sometimes the trivial turns transcendent, in a moment so improbable that it endures as a metaphor for the vagaries of life. Take what happened 55 years ago at Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia. The perp was the Phillie's Richie Ashburn, a future Hall of Famer who slashed a foul into the stands that hit a fan, one Alice Roth, smack in the face, bloodying and busting her nose. Play was halted as medics worked on her (and her eight-year-old grandson, trying to fetch the offending ball, was told by the man who'd nabbed it, "Go to hell, kid"), then resumed as she was laid on a stretcher. On the next pitch, Ashburn slammed another foul - cracking roth on the knee as she was carried out. What are the odds? Ashburn visited Roth in hospital and they became friends, forever connected by the cruel whims of the baseball gods. ----- ... on the other hand, one thing that does not make me smile is the news out of Russian this morning that Pussy Riot has be found guilty and the state prosecutors are asking for a 3-year sentence ... it is hard in imagine the old Soviet Union being any worse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
