› Forum › THE LOUNGE › the nice things that make you smile
In response to Little Puffy Tail, I am starting a thread about the things that make us smile. I just felt that the other ‘what grinds our gears’ thread was really exploding… we need to balance out with positives!
I can’t go first… that would be rude.
Sarita, after you!
-Bunnies
-My hobbies
-Beautiful weather
-Really good jokes
-The wonderful online forums I’m a part of (including BB)
-Beautiful ladies
-Christmas (giving gifts to people and having a good excuse to buy mini christmas trees? Heck yeah)
-Delicious vegan food
-People who take me seriously and listen to what I say
-Bright colored objects
-Open-minded, accepting people
– When strangers smile and say a friendly Hello to you.
– When Strangers hold the door for you.
– Binkies
hey thanks guys, you got this thread rolling!
I will speak for Sarita then because I said I would not go ahead of her~ I think she likes the ‘People of Walmart’ (?)
I like
people who are not all about money even though they have
honest enthusiasm some people have
people who can just say it like they feel it, no games played
educated people who don’t mention their credentials
practical people who are not afraid to use their own hands
people who can stick to a plan
people who will admit a mistake
in terms of things I like
Art
food
animals

Oh, and you reminded me about fireplaces – I love fireplaces and candles…so nice to hover over one on a chilly night.

Superb idea!!!
I was working once and this man came in (it’s a hospital) and he said… ‘ there are 6 million people in this world… and MOST of them are doing good things right now’
IT’s so true-focus on the negative. And we do need to vent. But focusing on the positive is just as important!
*My pets-I love them dearly. I miss some dearly. The best thing God put on the planet is furry four leggers.
*My family-they make me crazy sometimes, but I couldn’t do without them. They’re great.
*Travelling. AS long as it’s not flying. Don’t mind when I’m behind the wheel of a plane, but I don’t trust anyone else and Im always paranoid they’ll lose my bags! lol -Love driving and roadtrips and visitng people I miss, and meeting people I will miss. Nothing like a few hours in a car!!!
*Early sunrise in summer-and long summer nights
*The first snow…it’s a long winter-but that first snow is beautiful.
*Chocolate milk…yup I said that.

It’s the delight you feel through others’ misfortunes, lol
Hmm let’s see

-my new bunny
-my budgie Lemon
-my view from my office
-my job, that allows me to completely support myself and my pets
Hawiian Ginger. It is MY smell. :p
whenever i wear / bathe in the scent i get a ton of compliments. people are like you smell like.. you (in a very good way)
I recomend this to EVERY GIRL IN THE WORLD! The smell alone makes me smile. I liturally cried when i finished my bottle because i couldnt find it anywhere. I now have the bubble bath. speaking of…
It makes my worst day that much better
I used to love that stuff. used it too often, now I’m rather sick of it lol.
Oh, Mirbear, you reminded me
When my bf says that I smell good. LOL. Well, he always says I do. I don’t wear much perfume, but when I do, I wear this:
My mom got me a bottle about 2 years ago and I still have it I’m a vanilla addict..
vanilla & lavender = <3
but i do adore the ginger.. lol monkey. im ADDICTED!
I have a citrusy scented perfume right now that I adore… be damned if i can remember what it is called though lol
I have a Vanilla Lavendar body wash in my bathroom but I barley use it.
Monkey, I LOVE Citrus smells too!! I love Candles and Aroma Oil stuff.. my work has aroma oils that come in : Apple, Mango, Lime.. I’m tempted
When you come down i’ll have to let you sniff my perfume lol
Lol I’m a perfume addict, it’s terrible. My favorite is Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana, but it’s not something I can really afford. So my cheapie favorite is the Cherry Blossom fragrance from bath and body works
When i feel that ive done my part to encourage getting a rescue bun apposed to from a breeder, and giving information about bunnies.
I suggest you adopt a shelter bunny, they are spayed / neutered and make great pets. the local humane socioty doesn’t spay or neuter them but just down in milton i belive it is they have a rabbit rescue. heres the website : http://www.rabbitrescue.ca/
And a great information site is : https://binkybunny.com/
you can post questions in the forum and the members will answer them, theres alot of things that people dont know about rabbit before they get them. like that they need to be spay / neutered and that it can range from $100-$600 depending on the area. around kitchener its $400 for a female and $150 for a male. And the store bought cages are WAY to small. dog / puppt exsercize pens work great and so do NIC cages. check out the sites. and PLEASE consiter a slelter bunnny!! i know that the rabbit rescue had some lionheads for adoption.
