Since it became stupid expensive to own,store and maintain an aircraft I sold out and now just rent a few times a year when I get the itch, I can rent a nice 182 w/fuel for a couple of hours for around $600.00.

That's about the extent of my luxury's now days.

A good buffet brunch (or just a really good restaurant breakfast in general especially if they do a good omelette). Though they're hard to find now, my usual go-tos have either become mediocre or my tastes have gotten more expensive.

Also halva. There's a European market down near Lee Valley and they have a bunch of different kinds.

Going to a movie myself is another good one.

I read this in a quote and thought you were referring to Southwest Airlines (WN).

I agree, cold pressed juice is really nice as a "little luxury" once in a great while. Otherwise you become accustomed to it and get supremely disappointed wherever it's not available.

A 90-minute orthopedic massage. (no, not that kind...)

Like legit, when he does my legs, I can't drive for 10 minutes when it's done. 90 min costs a bit more than I want to pay, but shoot, it gets the whole body.

For anyone interested, the excellent Aussie black licorice is Darrell Lea and apparently it’s at Walmart.

My mental health was wallowing at around a three but finding out that excellent Aussie black liquorice is at Walmart as Darrell Lea has sprung me to a ten

I have a blue slime I can't remember where I got it all I know is its always in my office. It was either a garage sale find or a mystery box of some sort.

My grandma used to bring back the salty black licorice candy from Holland, I used to really like those.

I did a 90 minute massage once on a work trip in Winnipeg, I somehow found a last minute booking that came to my hotel that wasn't more than a massage. Being in my room and not having to drive anywhere just a shower and bed after that was the most amazing thing.

I have done this in years but I used to love biting the ends off black liquorice and use it as a straw to drink really cold milk
