I guess it would depend if there are cheaper, alternative methods available.

I never specified a remedy; it is the easing of discomfort that is the non-luxury, not the method of that easing.

It's Friday and tomorrow I get to see a friend who's been gone to the Air Force for a while. He's back on leave until next Thursday! :kiki:

Ticks will explode when you hold a lit match over them for a few seconds. This surprised me.

I saw my cousin who's in the USAF on Easter, she's was in Kuwait up until January and she's going to Korea in early May. After she's there for a year the current plan is for her to go to Germany. Needless to say, I don't get to see her that often.

Edit to put in a simple pleasure. I'm rereading Ender's Game and whenever I see Commandant Graff talking I now imagine Harrison Ford thanks to this.

Watching things go haywire at work because they have me doing other people's job and not my own.

Seeing my friend over the weekend and the drive, being all highway, raising my gas mileage considerably. Also, the people I talk to most from LFG are on my FB so I can converse even with the forums going mostly dormant.

A very dear friend of mine is moving to London. Any time I can spend with him is a simple pleasure which repeatedly breaks my heart.
