Weird Luxuries You've Always Wanted

Do you have any small creative "luxuries" you've always wanted?

I don't mean nice, fancy and expensive stuff, but little things...

I've always wanted to wear a pair of new socks every day. I love old nikes and brand new socks.

Also, I've always wanted a bathroom with a urinal. Easy to clean, easy on water and easy to hit...(And no lid.)

    I'd have to think about it for a while.

    Why not go for a trough? Even easier to hit.

    LOL...Kurt I have always dreamed of having my own bathroom with a urinal in it. I was watching a show on HGTV where a guy was building a new family home and decided to build a bathroom just for himself with....you guessed it a Urinal

      I want all my sheetsets to be at least 600 thread count. I don't think that's a weird luxury but it is kind of expensive.

      I'm really surprised a lot more homes don't have them. The water savings alone should pay for them many times over, as toilets are the main us of water in the US (I think).

      You'd also think the only people that would appreciate a urinal more than a guy would be a mom with boys.

    I want to afford real vanilla beans - as many as I want - to cook, to make lotions, perfume, soaps, bathgel and candles.

    In an even bigger fantasy to have a green house full of the orchids that grow the vanilla beans.

    I'd like the top line model of the vector locators or H3Tec tri-corder. Actually - I could make money with it and eventually pay the price back, but have no means to pull a loan for a machine 3 times the price of my rig.

    Oh well - maybe some day.

    Kurt, I'm seeing a peculiar pattern here with you. Slightly disturbing
    but what the hell. I was ok until the post about the scented urinal
    cakes. That's when I thought you may be thinking about this too much.

    Inspired by the post mentioning orchids, for a long time I always
    wanted to grow orchids. It was one of those things you never get
    around to doing. But kinda hard in an apartment unless you have a
    set-up to grow them in.

    Ah... I may actually do this next one; getting a very nice telescope,
    maybe two. One for high resolution lunar study. The other for deep
    space study. What the hell... I'd like to have my own observatory.
    Nothing outrageous, though.

      Hey Ken...

      You're concerned about the scented urinal cakes but OK with the image of siamese twins using a trough? And I'm the one that's disturbed?

          A large "in-wall" fish tank in the kitchen or family room or somewhere very visible.

          On a bigger scale, an indoor pool. Not big, but like a hotel pool. Just somewhere to take a nice dip into, in comfort and controlled temperature.

    I always wanted lots of phones. I saw a movie when I was a kid where Yul Brynner was a rich captain of industry, and he had a big desk with a bunch of phones on it.

    So I never throw telephones away. I have like thirty of them in a box in my storage unit. I still have every single telephone I've ever owned.

    Yeah, I know, I'm weird.

          Have you ever noticed how much spacecraft differ in design, based on whom you expect to see them?

          I mean, NASA doesn't think anyone's going to see a damn thing, so our spacecraft look like crap.

          But you look at a Romulan Warbird, or something like that... things built by races that expect to MEET someone out there... and they're all sleek and designed and artistically ornamented. Like cars. They're status symbols.

          And I've had just enough to think this was a sensible post when I started it, but not enough to get to the end without thinking "WTF is wrong with me?"

    I would love to have an English estate with a huge castle to
    live in. Of course the castle would be modernized to provide
    all the comforts.

    The main entrance, whatever the appropriate term is, would
    be huge. The ceiling would be one huge painting of something
    nice.

    A complete staff to take care of things.

    Total privacy.

    I'd have a music studio, a huge greenhouse to grow orchids, a
    huge garden... huge, a pond surrounded by natural growth, an
    observatory on top of the castle, an archery range because I
    like shooting bow and arrow...

    That's all I can think of at the moment...

      Haha... but I'm neither crazy, sexy, nor cool. I'm not sure I'd fit in! All joking aside, Toronto is great. I've kicked around the idea of getting a loft in the Liberty Village / Parkdale neighbourhood. Anyway, it's great to hear the Huffington Post has something positive to say about Toronto.
