What makes you happy

Hey everyone!

Since we have a 'what makes you mad' thread going and since IBN suggested it, we need a 'what makes you happy' thread.

What makes me the happiest is playing with my 4 year old son. Doesn't really matter what we are playing (baseball, legeo's, spray daddy with the hose...) it's just so much fun to be with him and see his energy. :bounce:

Another thing that makes me happy is reading. It allows me to escape from what ever is bothering me.

Things that make me happy.

Techspot when it`s running smoothly.

People who post in the correct forum.

People that give their threads a proper and descriptive thread title.

People who don`t post their problems in someone elses thread(particularly in the security and the web forum).

People who read the stickies before posting.

People who use the edit button effectively, rather that making a new post.

People who don`t flame others.

people who don`t spam.

Bacon and eggs.

A few pints of beer in my local pub with friends and family.

Watching Liverpool FC play football.

Taking the dog for a walk in the countyside.

Peace and quiet, when I can get it.

Regards Howard

Being able to sleep in without interuptions..

being able to use my own PC without my sister kicking me off my own PC untill midnight..
thank God i got the ADSL and the wifi router working happily.

when i can chill out and just listen to music, and when i can play those pieces of music too..

Chilling out with friends

what happens when you mix a computer geek, some degree of a musical background and some audio gear? an audio tech dude. Gotta love mixing music...

Hanging here at TS

Satisfaction that i did my best in helping people

Smiling

Techspot makes me happy, and sleeping nearly 12 hours makes me even more happy

Also, my LCD makes me happy, my AMD CPU, and my internet too (just upgraded from 512kbps to 1Mbit ).

what makes me happy is kind of similar to what Howard said.

Whenever everything at school and home goes well, then i can go to sleep at night not worrying about something that happened the day before.

Walking down the road to the potmac and fishing. Relaxing as hell.
Hanging out with buddies
Fall mornings where you walk outside and see the trees that have turned.
Laughing
TS threads like this in the meeting spot. (opposed to the flames)

No one else wants to say what makes them happy?

I know what made me happy this weekend was having my 4 year old out fish me 5 to 1!

What make me happy??

All kinds of things, mostly gaming...

It's having the time to do these things is when/where you find true happiness

Playing piano

HL2 to NOT crash for a gaming session

Watching a good action flick in the theater

Getting invited to eat out at THEIR cost

Successfull completion of a job on my to-do list

Sleeping in with no alarm going off

Roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, buscuits, corn on the cob, fruit salad and pistaccio pudding

My famous egg burritos and sosage breakfast with chocolate milk

My cats

A laughing baby

A pretty girl and her smile

Another day without some freakin psychopath trying to kill more people. Another idiot off the streets.

Surplus cash to make another PC upgrade, latest being a 20.1" LCD widescreen

A woman is a thing of wonder and beauty.

But sometimes just wonder, or beauty, and sometimes just a thing

This picture makes me happy. I wish I could find the place this picture was taken and just sit there for awhile to enjoy the vibrance of the forest and the sound of the waterfall [sigh].
