I installed a new toilet in our bathroom yesterday. It saves water and it flushes in ONE flush without threatening to flood the bathroom, neither a claim our old toilet could make.


Life is much better now. We are thankful for our super cush life here in America.



Post up something that makes your life better, which you typically take for granted.

Drinking a beer when I get home from work. I feel sorry for all those crazy cultures who don't drink or don't have the money to drink.

I was talking to a missionary guy who travels around Africa. I'm asking him what he does, does he build infrastructure, does he educate children or what? He tells me he teaches people not to sh!t into their water supply. Start with the basics, I guess.

Having recently been to St. Martin, Jamaica and Mexico, which are still leaps and bounds above places like Africa, it really is sad to see how some people live (or should I say exist).

In my best baby-like dog voice, I ask my pooch if she wants a cookie. She then barks at me, so I pat her on the head and give her a treat. Good dog.

My freezer/fridge stopped working for a week. I fixed it the other day and last night stocked the crap out of it.

This...although not with Steves nephews, with my kids. And they throw Monty Python quotes. Every time I say we are having Spam for dinner...

And blaming my farts on the dogs. There is a pleasure!

Triple ply toilet paper

I used to do contract work at a company that provided triple ply toilet paper. I always made sure I scheduled my visits there a little while after my second cup of coffee.

It was like wiping my ass with a bunny rabbit.

Afternoon naps. Although rare, nothing makes me feel more refreshed than a 15-20 minute nap.

Natural gas, running water and electricity. I can't think of anything I spend $160 a month on that seems like such an amazing deal.

Electricity. We lost power twice last year for several days at a time. Not that long (compared to CT folks like IAB) but long enough to ruin much of the food in our fridge and freezer.

As I started reading this thread I thought of the simple pleasure of all the times I have pulled roughly $100 or so out of my camelback. (I stuff a $10 or $20 in there before many rides, and forget to check before doing it again.)
