Laughing so hard, your stomach hurts

being in love makes you feel good:love:

Well today I'm getting loads of snuggles from the kids as they say they are going to miss me when they go back to school tomorrow...
The snuggles make me feel good and very much loved xxxx

Being woken up to the sound of one of my cats purring in my ear.

The smell of Merlin's fur when he's been in the sun - he smells of warm digestive biscuits.

A long, cool shower after a run.

Finding a fantastic yarn bargain on Ebay, and winning the auction.

Tesco's finest chocolate cheesecake. Yum.

Being me always makes me feel good.

Seeing someone fall over in the street, preferably in a very theatrical fashion.

Afternoon Aitch! How you doin honey bunch? A cat's purr is definately a natural high :D

Having a great big bear hug with people you love and who love you!

Finding 'that' track you've been searching for, for ages, by an artist/group that you never knew, and having it on repeat!

:cool: :love:

Nature - in all it's glory.

Dancing - ie: being 'lost' in the groove!

Laughing, when you shouldn't.

Lying in bed, listening to the rain outside

i agree nothing better than lying in bed all snug and listening to the rain outside :thumbsup:

Nick2, you're such a b*tch!!!! Loving your work though!

Just split up with my boyfriend guys, so keep the happiness suggestions coming!!!!

Glancing over to a work colleague that has only 1 arm. She has 2 kids, works part time (3 x 10 hour days), she brings in home baked buns once a week, has the most amazing and infectious laugh, and always has a smile on her face. Up until having her right arm amputated, she was right handed and has had to learn to use the other arm.

I realise how lucky I am and more importantly how lucky we are to have someone like this girl around us.

Listening to bison.

Music. This message is too short with just one word so - music, music, music!

Hearing and making people laugh.

Laughing till your eyes water!

Smiling or laughing so much that you get fizzy cheeks

Waking up at 6am thinking it's Friday and I've got to get up for work and then realising it's Saturday and I don't - bliss.

a proper big satisfying dump - feeling well and truly sated and far healthier for it!

Rock on evacuation of bowels - YEAAAAAH!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Meeting up with my friends over a glass of wine - we always end up having some real belly buster laughs

Seeing a rainbow always makes me feel good

Looking at my baby boy - he laughed for the first time at the weekend! :D

Music. This message is too short with just one word so - music, music, music!

That made me feel all warm inside reading that. Lovely story!

CARLING! :banana:

Ah, well, it's kinda natural..

I suppose having a nice refreshing shower after a hard days graft.

Having my gorgeous son Felix fall asleep on me with his warm and tender little cheek against mine.

(ohgod I've gone and made myself cry now!)

My first glimpse of the sea when we go to the seaside. 36 and still a big kid then lol

That shop on west street sells the best natural highs i've had in a long while.

Herbal XTC awesome.

Mine.

Pure silence and coming home from work late to the freedom of the house.

Taking out my nephews, watching them and partaking in playing football. They have the misfortune of being brought into dysfunctional families and being there as a father figure and giving them some degree of normality is great.

Going to my nans, and marvelling at her incredible personality and her geniune love and care for all around her. She has made massive sacrifices for her family in the past and harbours no regret. A true inspiration.

Mastering the technique of doing good turns for people with expectation of reward.

Spending time with my differant groups of friends and having fairly harmless fun.

Music - orchestral and preferably played very enthusiastically and very loud

Scoring a goal playing a footie, followed by sex...

Unsolicited hugs and kisses from a child.

The feeling of belonging.

Love.

Music.

All of the above, at the same time, preferably when totally unexpected.

Is that place actually any good?

I am very suspicious of herbal highs, in that they dont seem to actually do anything....

Standing on top of a hill in the rain and thunder with a fish clutched tightly in each hand.

listening to the last three sections of carmina burana whilst on acid, ouch!

On a Tool track called ticks and leeches, about 5 mins in Maynard kind of roars for about a minute – if you’ve heard it you’ll know what I mean.

Is that place actually any good?

I am very suspicious of herbal highs, in that they dont seem to actually do anything....

Most herbal highs will have a combination of ingredients that usually include ephedra, a less marketable psychoactive with effects not dissimilar to amphetamine.

Best natural high? Well the autumn is shaping up to be warm and wet, so I guess it has to be the sorcerers saprophyte.

Bed, in all its glorious wonderment.

so I guess it has to be the sorcerers saprophyte.

are you talking about truffles phan? :)

a warm mug of horlicks before bed

Having never taken any of the illegal stuff......................:rolleyes: ;)

It does work but you need more and it takes longer to act. The salvia joints are rubbish but the actual solids are pretty good. Go and have a chat with him tell him what you're looking for and hel'll sort you out.

when people agree with you on the forum :D

I bought a 4g bag of herbal speed/coke from there, and dont remember it being much cop.

On the other hand, I dont remember much of that night anyway.

Which is actually my favourite dish and alwasy puts a smile on my face!

:) :)

OK folks can we get off the topic of things you 'take' to make you feel good and get back to the warm fuzzyness that this thread started off with

breaking wind in a lift then sending it down to the ground floor.

dance like no one is watching...it makes you feel great

Listening to the rain on my tent as i go to sleep, not that i live in a tent, i just love to camp, nothing makes me feel better:) :)

Helping someone and knowing that its really helped them...

listening to favourite track when you least expect it

Having an illicit snog....

breaking wind in a lift then sending it down to the ground floor.

Ba-SUL! you're evil :D

listening to my pet rat chirruping happily away into my left ear

being in love and having that love returned makes me happy:love:

When my little boy Alfie (4 months) smiles at me :love:

meeting up with an old friend and realising that some things never change :)

watching the sunset at cafe mambo

Stepping out of the tent on a campsite in the west of France and breathing in the smell of early morning pine trees, sand and fresh air.

The sound of heavy crashing waves, then receeding over the sand.

Children singing en masse.

Seeing people put their heart and soul into something they really believe in.

Tribal drumming.

The smell of my baby boys' skin.

Gently fondling a turkeys wattle.

Hearing your favourite tune on the radio! (currently Exceeder by Mason)

phone calls to friends that last for hours

a cloudless blue sky, on a hot summer's day

cloudless blue sky, on a crisp autumn day...

eat pork scratching - it works for me :|

Natural highs..

The emmence feeling you get after doing loads of excersise - glowing with health
Laughing till you are nearly sick with mates, also when drunk
Fresh air

Seeing someone fall over in the street, preferably in a very theatrical fashion.
HAHA the best one I can think of is when they had just put new bus stops in at the botom of the moor i think it was, in july i think. And they had put all the glass pains in apart from one and my mate went to lean on the bustop and he just fell straight through the bus stop (just like in that mint advert really) was hilarious - you could hear people really far away laughing at him let alone people right next to him.

I'd have to go with either laughing so hard it hurts, getting a bargain on ebay or when you've not driven in a few days, and it feels like new again and even though your just going 30mph it seems really fast. Great feeling.

Waiting to go to the loo and then sitting down to the greatest dump in the world. . . . not forgetting to take something in to read though - eh lads!

On an empty road, driving just that little bit too quickly.

Coming out of work, walking towards your car knowing it's the weekend. :)

On an empty road, cycling with no hands *.




(* I mean with no hands on the handlebars - I've not got some amputee fetish or anything....)

PMSL!!:hihi: :hihi: Well thats just made me laugh!...

The best highs at the moment are watching the old Wednesday vids when they were good! seeing them score against united in the semi final, winning the Rumbelows cup etc...

drawing on the bottom of a slipper with a biro

drawing on the bottom of a slipper with a biro

Hehe that made me feel funny! And it made me remember slippers in the shape of animals!

Getting knocked off your feet by a huge wave
Being tickled till your body aches from the wriggling

drawing on the bottom of a slipper with a biro

hee hee! had forgotten about that one.....ink on rubber...hhhaaaaah....:D

doing something really dumbass that no-one else has noticed and laughing at yourself

Yeah and when someone asks you what you're laughing at, you can't tell them ;)

my son saying tonight, why can't you do that I say , I'm not special like Richard Branson, he says but you are special... what a gem

(yes these are for real)

natural high at work:

being under pressure when Iv'e got a short deadline

hiking for 2 hours to get to the tarn in great langdale, then another 2 hours to get to the summit of the mountain and gawp at the view and to shout 'view halllooooooo'! :)

a steaming hot bubblebath when every muscle in your body is aching

Driving through ginormous puddles after monsoon rains and soaking the parked cars on both sides of the road :)

Looking at the photos of Lizzmobiles little children.

that act of placing food in your mouth, when you're so hungry you could've eaten a horse

going to a club and the lighting is just right, the music is just right and the folk there are rockin. woop woop! :D

My family
Noodles
Cream Eggs
And rolo cookies

Smelling the glove.

a full, bright, moon on a dark, starry night

the call of an owl, carried by the wind through the trees

Being told that you're an asset to the human race (as someone told me earlier).

been told i was attractive i was well chuffed:thumbsup:

well a few months ago i went out to the pinnacles dessert in the middle of the night... I watched the stars as a meteor storm causes a display of shooting stars above... and then I watched the sun rise over the desert... all I could hear was the sea crashing on the beach in the distance... alone in complete darkness but for the heavens above...

amazing... awe inspiring...

This is how it made me feel (http://www.memoriesoftomorrow.co.uk/blog/blogdetail.asp?BlogID=151) and this is how it looked (http://www.memoriesoftomorrow.co.uk/collection/index.php) (look under "the pinnacles" gallery...)

it was mind blowing...

It makes me feel good when I watch America's Wildest Police Chases and John Burnell brings those scum to sweet, sweet justice.

wow livestrong! how jealous am i?! :)

did you know that in this part of your poem.....

"what at first glance appeared to be clouds,
were constellations... orchestras of light"

that it was the milky way you were looking at? on a clear night, free of light pollution, it does indeed look like a cloud from the sheer density of stars.

Difficult to imagine, isn't it, that that's our solar system and that the sun is in the very centre of that swirl of stars and planets!

:D

David Guetta Vs The Egg, playing on the radio now. What a tune! :D

When my 3 month old son recognizes my voice and looks around the room for me :suspect: Then when he sees me and smiles without any prompting :D

It makes my chest feels like it's going to burst and I have to stop myself crying and laughing at the same time :love:

Also, when I accidently hear any of my fave old dance track friom when I used to go out every weekend for the whole weekend. Doesn't matter where i am when I hear one of em. I always start dancing :banana:

Making my gf laugh so much she squeals :hihi:

Last minute winners in really important games.

Sledging down a really steep hill on a really good sledg/bin lid.

The water flume thing at Pleasure Island in Ingoldmells. It's really for kids but if you go to Ingoldmells/Skegness have a go on it with your gf or mate. It's so fast it's actually dangerous. I had to slow us down to stop us flying out of the top of it on a really tight bend. It made my gf squeal (see above).

Laying on the beach at Kalutara in Sri Lanka with my gf watching the sun go down.

When I tought my nephew how to climb the wall at the bottom of his road to get to the short cut to the football pitches. He's a big kid and has a lot of confidence issues. When he finally mastered it his face was a picture and he ran off to play football with his mates. Priceless.

There's probably loads more but these are the ones fresh in mind at the moment.

nice one syko :)

having your head massaged

the beautiful sunny, misty autumnal morning we had today :)

Listening to classic FM. Being able to help someone with problems, being a good listener, Hearing about our grandchildren .Sponsoring a third world child.

Having my boyfriend say something that makes me laugh for ageeees :) reminds me why we got together and just makes me smile :)

running to try and catch falling leaves (sposed to be lucky) :)

Biting people, hard, on the shin.

Standing at a bus stop in the crisp morning and looking close up at a spiders web covered in dew, so wonderful,all this beautiful magic is going on whilst we are all p***ed off at work
lying on a beach under a blazing sun, only hearing the sea, eyes closed...

flying back into london on a crystal clear night and seeing the whole city spread out like a bejeweled, gold-encrusted cloak below.....twinkling and sparkling as far as the eye could see. absolutely amazing.
:)

Looking at someone and realising how much you love them.

i used to balance on the edge of the roof on landsdown flats.. :loopy: but it was my natural high. luckly i grew up;)

Waking up on a weekend morning and looking at the many photo's of our kids around the house from little boys to the strapping young men they are now a mixture of pride that they are out fending for themselves in the big bad world and knowing the phones unplugged so they cant ring to lend owt gives me a warm glow

seeing your other half smile and realise how, before you know it, your smiling too

What Medusa said :)

Being given a compliment by someone you love. Especially an unexpected one.

Jumping out of an aeroplane and plummeting towards the earth. Trust me you wont wipe the smile off your face once youve landed!
