I love it when...

I love driving off the ferry in the dark, getting lost several times finding my new home, then discovering my landlords are strong as oxen and having my U-Haul unloaded in half an hour! Mostly, I love being "home" on the rock!!
Oh ya, and I love London Drugs, SuperStore and Chapters!!

You have done with the big move, then! Sounds as though things are going to be great for you, best wishes in your new home, Cosmo.
I love it when we get 'dramatic' weather conditions, be it extra-hard rain or very strong winds or a severe lightning storm or a major snow storm... any weather that is out of the ordinary. I find it exhilarating.

Me too, other than having to set up the sump pump in my garden in the pouring rain... sure beats sucking about 100 gallons of water with a carpet cleaner though.
I love having a nice warm kitty curl up on my lap... a contented purr has to be one of the nicest sounds.
I love holding a baby till s/he falls asleep.
I love sitting on the lanai watching the sunset in Maui.
I love the taste of the season's first strawberries, and also the first mandarine orange.
I love the feeling of accomplishment I get when I do something "all bt myself".
I love getting hugs and kisses from my kids - and giving them back.

I love it when the chance arrives to realise that there are other people in the world that cherish values from their hearts instead of the values in their pockets. Like the entries above.. I feel so not alone living in a society that dwells on the buck side. I love that feeling that I have my back covered by the other guys shooting from their hearts. I hate being scared and alone in the bleak corruptness of the corporate system. I also love the rain, Haggis. it does kinda look like Christmas. Your puppies are great, Rev, but a nice, hot kitty cat on your toes is what I'd rather be facing in the morning. Less slobbering.
Re: RE: I love it when...
I love it that we can do this, we can reach across to kindred spirits around the world, and all with just some heartfelt thoughts and the clickety clack of a keyboard... which, come to think of it, could easily be another thing I can say I love (and miss): the old clickety clack sound that a typewriter makes, and the *ding* at the end of the line.

Okay, so I'm doing two in a row here, but after what happened today, I must.
My computer booted this morning to the infamous and dreaded blinking question mark (it's a Mac thing, it is the computer's way of saying it has no clue where anything is inside of it, it can't give you squat, no desktop, nada, it is an extremely dire situation essentially meaning you have zero access to anything, your computer data may be toast and your good mood is definitely toast).
So anyway, to get to the point, I love it when my computer does such a henious thing and I go out for breakie, just leaving the beast to stew in its own questioning juices, I come back and voila! it has changed its mind and has reached the desktop and all is well. Trust me, this is something to really, really love....

I love the moment when I have taken a good picture and I know it is a good picture. I love Edge. She is the most amazing woman in the world. I am in awe of who she is. She makes up for all the misfortune I have experienced in my life. Everyday she gives me a renewed hope.
I love when I come home from a particularly bad day at work and Edge is waiting to cheer me up.
The rain I can take or leave...but driving in snow on a winters night, the flakes streaking towards you is awe inspiring.
I love driving watching a beautiful prairie sunset in the rear view mirror and a lightening storm ahead of you.
Even though they are often mischeivious, I love our cat and macaw.
I love a ice cold beer on a hot day.

just another incredulous cosmic experience, Peapod. You ask that like the Rev is not a loyal and giving human, or something. Well, if you were to see the side that Zen and I have seen. Not a shadow of aa doubt would cross your mind that the Rev is someone thatyou want in your corner and you in his. You must have seen that by now, Peapod. Or did you loose your insight? One motivating common denominatoris beer, however. And dogs. Part of the secret potion for stable friendships and an honest delivery. Go Figure!!!!!
Dogs always gotta be in the formula. You guys are all so lucky, the three of you, for your love and your friendship and your willingness to show it. I am enjoying your comments very much.
TY Haggis. I don't see it so much as dogs...more as pets of fome kind. We live in a condo and a dog needs a yard. That's only fair to the dog. Actually our Macaw should have a yard...or at least a sound proof room . All to his self. When he is misbehaving he is very loud. Beer however ....
Re: RE: I love it when...
He sounds as though he is very entertaining! We thought about getting a parrot, but we kind of got bogged down on just finding out about them and never actually got around to getting one. It is still in the back of my mind, though. Are macaws are particularly good choice, in your opinion? Oh, and oops, sorry if I'm wrong about macaws being parrots, I just seem to recall they are.
I do see what you mean about a dog, a yard is nice. On the other hand, the right breed can make it so it doesn't really matter, plus good long walks (lucky you like the rain!) are more important than a yard per se, I think. We have a large yard but our Border Collie stays inside all the time except for walkies and play-time. He is a very happy dog.
Greyhounds are total couch potatoes, apparently. Go figure. I guess they race for two or three years then are retired and they don't seem to want much activity at all. They're supposed to be super-affectionate, too.

I love border collies.They're so cute. betcha he/she keeps you hopping.
Macaws are a parrot. They are very active. Very loud too.If you like peace and quiet you might want to shy away from a macaw. They tend to screech if they can't see what you're doing or where you are. They screech if they get to excited when they are playing. I guess the best way to describe it would be to picture a baby crying and then add about 20 decibals to it.
I think if I were looking for a parrot today, I might look for an African Grey. A little calmer and a better capacity for speaking, as I understand it. Edge is the bird fanatic.
I had a cousin who had a whippet. It loved to run. It did sleep a lot, but when it saw us running around it wanted to join in.

We have the slug version of Border Collie, partly because he is now getting old, but he has always been a maniac outdoors while very quiet indoors. Oh boy, I had better stop, 'cause I have been known to go on at considerable length about our Angus.
As far as I know, just the retired racing greyhounds have the couch potato syndrome, probably because they're just plain sick and tired of running around after that elusive rabbit.

Re: RE: I love it when...
Haggis, in regards to birds, you have to be very sure that you want one before you get one. Especially one of the larger breeds like a Macaw, or a Cockatoo. They are very, very demanding on people's time.
My husband and I visited a Parrot Sanctuary nearby not too long ago, and learned a great deal about parrots that neither of us knew.
They are fiercely protective of their master, and they generally pick one, so if it picks you, it may not like your husband or vice versa. They require a great deal of attention or they can get sick, or ornery, or destructive.
If you are serious about getting one, be very sure, and also be sure that your daughter wants it as it will probably out live you.

Re: RE: I love it when...
This is why we have hesitated, I want to be absolutely sure about it before we do it. It was about 1 1/2 years ago we first thought about getting one. I have interpreted my lack of action to be, to some degree, an indication that maybe this isn't the right choice for us, at least at this time.
One problem with what you say, though, "it will probably out live you". Ahhh, you see, that's the thing with baby boomers. We never die. We just plain refuse to do it.
