Darlene:

That was pretty much it. It was actually my mother's cousin's wife. She always was a bit of a tyrant, with a loud-mouthed Virginia drawl.

We went over there for some dinner. There I am in the 60s Sunday garb: dress, hat, white gloves, Mary Janes, the whole gammut.

No sooner do I get in the house and she shrieks: "Why don't ya'll get out there and husk some corn?"

Out I went. No use turning to my mother for appeal. She was always so intimidated by the woman, I'm surprised she wasn't out there husking along side of me.

the smell of a freshly bathed baby;
daydreaming;
knowing how many friends I have;
the aroma of eucalyptus;
the sound of the ocean;
soaking in the tub with candles and soft music;
holding a kitten when it starts purring.

that's exactly what i would have said, great post, Donna

Going on a hike after a spring rain.
Going to the mountains and listening to the sound of birds
The sound of wolves howling(I have it on cassette)
Being surrounded by my animal friends. My cat jake and Max the rottweilder
Being with my children.
Going to church and praying
Sitting on a sofa and eating chocolate

Back massages
Long hot bubble baths
Looking at the city skyline from my window
Cuddling with my kittens
Having tickling matches with my boyfriend
Renting old movies and watching them late at night
Burning candles through-out the house
Donating to charities
Taking long drives just for time away
Sharing childhood and life memories with friends

Cassandra! Those were great "natural highs" Thanks for joining in!!!

 

[debby]

Oh wait!!! I have another natural high that I just thought of!!!....... Clicking on "connect to internet" and getting connected without any problems at all!!!!

 

[deb25]

Oh Debby, did I ever need that natural high tonight! Grrr, dial-up. I hate it. When is civilization coming to this neighborhood? That's it. I'm selling the house.

 

[mr. cat]

Welcome home to the wonderful world of dial-up connecting! Ah, yes, it's such fun — but I'm lucky insofar as I've never had a high-speed connection, so I'm not going through withdrawal like you.

I'm just happy the darned thing works!

I agree with Mr. Cat....I am just used to it. But the worst thing is getting a busy signal!!!!!!!!! EEEEEERRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG!

 

[deb25]

Thank God I haven't had to go through the endless busy signal thing since my aol days. This is just slow, and I hate having the phone line tied up. I have to keep the cell phone nearby when I'm online. Well, since this is a Natural Highs thread, I'll say that at least I'm getting my money's worth from the phone company!
