What's there not to get?? It's a list of all the small things in life that give us small secret senses of joy... I can't get thru all 1000 with out being excited about life, like the flavor pockets... Like that one potato chip that has significantly more seasoning than all the others... YES. I love those.

Yes, that one chip wouldn't be so wonderful, if every single one was so potent!
I think that's why I married my husband come to think of it! And I think that's why I like this message board best, out of all the others out there : )

Oooooo - I was sitting here trying to think of one - and I couldn't. Walked into the kitchen - 2 flies almost landed right next to each other so I could kill them both in one swat. Only got one this time, which is cool - but getting 2 needs to go on this list!! LOL

All that imaginative power, and you dint give our personalities appropriate voices to fit??? Come on Tasha... But you know what? The heavens dumped buckets of rain here and I could smell all that green grass and wet wood and that earthy dirt smell... I love the smells the rains bring. This time it made me think of Tasha and her topic describing her land.
