Foo - What makes you happiest in life?

I like stress free days in the sun. Sitting by the lake. Eating a sandwich and drinking a grape NEHI.

There are a few other things but this is a "family" forum.:p:D

In the quiet calm of night, taking Mike for a run, smells of exotic cookery emanating from varied homes. What stories are out there? Each with its path through this world, and how special I am to cross paths with just a few.

To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentation of the women.

A comfortable bowel movement.

- others' unhappiness

thank you,

Dr. Schaedenfreud

Sitting out on the porch during a sunset, nice thick medium rare porterhouse on my plate with some garlic/cheese mashed potatoes...and a glass of bourbon.

Even better if someone else is sharing this sunset with their own plate and glass.

A comfortable bowel movement.

Still fighting with BOB, huh? :eek:

Things that make me happy:
A nice bike ride...can be a hammer fest or a cruise, depends on the mood.
A nice cold soda after a major hammerfest.
Hearing a great song on the radio that I have not heard in a long time.
Communicating with freinds and finding out something nice/pleasant is going on in their world.
The sounds that can only be heard when you are deep in the woods at 3:00 am.
The smell after a spring time rain.

There's more.....but not going to take the time to type all of it....to sum it up..its all the simple things in life.

laughing with my girls, time with them.
A good ride or riding faster with someone stronger and keeping up.
time at the beach
great food :)

sitting on the beach. forever.

I'm not really sure...

:(

A morning hug from my kids. I really don't think there is anything better.

When it is about 65-70F outside, slight breeze, the air is crisp. Driving my car around at that time, with the windows down, hear nothing but the engine purring, wind whistling by my ears, knowing the fact that everything is in working order. Then having a great bike ride later, hearing nothing but the tires against the pavement, and the wind howling by my ears, as i increase speed.

Ultimate Frisbee.

Waking up next to the ladyfriend.

A solitary bike ride home with a great tail wind, thru a snow storm.

Watching timmyQ being Emo :) (sorry, couldn't resist)

Making "the save."

my family
my faith
my friends

Knowing that in this complicated world, all has a place and everything works in synch with everything else to form life as we experience it and as which we are. Ultimately there is agape which envelops it as a whole.

my family

I know you'll agree with this one,
seing your kid having a good day healthwise and breathing easily :)

Seeing my boys happy makes me happy. Last night seeing the smile on Wades face as he earned his first Cub Scout badge was incredible. I am still smiling about it today.

My beautiful little princess.
From seeing her beautiful face as she was born to watching her on her sports days.
From riding our bikes together by the river, to jumping onto stepping stones across the river.
From saying ohayo in the morning to oyasumi nassai in the evening.
And finally, telling her everynight how much she means to me, kissing her good night, and saying "I love you, sweet dreams my little pricess" :)

Riding a bike anywhere, and spending time with my friend Brandy.

She doesn't know it yet, but she's getting a new bike real soon.

I like it when BSY calls me Brandy!!!!!

I aim to please. Emo is fake though...besides, i don't cut myself

Ha.

A girl showed me her scars once, I told her she wasn't serious and it was obviously a cry for attention, because they went across the veins not with it.

Don't think she was expecting that as a response.

I'd consider my current mood: Blues

The music is better, and no one seems to make fun of B.B. King when he says that the thrill is gone, oddly though i'm emo for saying. I really want to figure this one out.

/\ that's supposed to be a secret;).

It's gonna be hard to get her fit for a bike, without her knowing. Any ideas on how I should go about it? A14" mountain bike works well (she's about 5'3" with average proportions) would a 50cm road frame be close?

I'm not sure, but you may have just broken my brain.

Anyways, if Blues is your current music mood, switch over to Blue Grass, I find it an easy transition and it's more upbeat generally.

Offer to work on her bike for her. Take it to the bike shop. Let them measure it and recreate those measurements on a road bike. Should get you close. Best of Luck

I'm 5'5" and have a 50cm COMPACT.

I guess i can make that work. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=krwywj_gIjk) :)

Don't you know it! I think I have him convinced to pack his bags and blow town.

Thanks to baby jeebus for steroid cream. :D

this brought a lump to my throat . Funny thing I am nearing the end of my life yet never married or had children although it is all I ever really wanted. Plenty of chances ..all blown. I'll never experience what it is to have children of my own. Thats kinda sad and my only real .regret in life

I suppose it is the simple things like everyone else. Being alone with nature , spending time with my girlfriend or alone with my cats,

Quiet evenings with my wife, the dog and the cats. Just sitting around, being together.

Sitting down with my wife and kids and letting them tell me all their wonderful stories while hearing all the noise of the world around us and we are completely unaffected by it.

Just think, you don't know what it's like to get up at 3AM to change a sh!tty diaper... then get pee'd on for your trouble.

Regret nothing my friend. :)

I enjoy spending time with the people I care about, friends/family. Talking about life and enjoying eachothers company.

Feeling useful.

it's only emo if you present it in an angsty manner.

Blues is more subdued, sure I'm broken and my heart's been stabbed with a pitchfork and then salted....but you know what, that's life, take the bad with the good. Emo on the other hand is more Life sucks, I bet you really don't give a *** about me, I'm better off gone, etc.

Yeah, um, to be quite honest, *none* of my answers to this question can be printed in a "family" forum. Seriously.

I am happiest running stuff over with my bike

I am happiest when my stomach is sore from laughing so much with my friends/ family, I have no pressure on me from exams etc. or I do well in exams, travelling to places with my friends and when I have just come back from/in the middle of an awesome cycle.

More examples I am sure.. just not thinking much at the moment..

Good thread though.

Having someone seek me out to talk.
