Older, well worn rugs bring unequaled warmth to a home IMO.
I really like old rugs. My cats do too. That's why I can't have old rugs.
Can't rugs be displayed on the wall? Unless you have aerial cats (some people do), the rugs should be safe.

Experiences (not things in our case) that are different and fun. Example, yesterday DW and I took a drive to Point Reyes. We brought our oil painting gear and sat on a small beach painting the scene. DW had forgotten her painting gear but luckily I had brought enough that we could share. When you sit in one spot and concentrate on it for 2 hours, it's burnt into your brain. Just lots of fun.
Here's a photo of the view we were painting (Tomales Bay):
This reminds me of my friend who once told me that he thinks the best kind of wealth to build up is wealth of experience. He lives a comfortable middle-class life, so he certainly wasn't saying that from a position of inverse snobbery (i.e. because he's poor).
I agree with him. Learning new things, and seeing different things gives a very real and lasting sense of satisfaction.
Now if you want to know what kind of material possessions give me pleasure, I'd have to say the sight and smell of a cup of coffee and a pastry first thing in the morning
Well Al, I guess this is photoshop? Sorry, you have to go to Tomales Bay first and then spend 2 hours slaving over an oil painting before you get any credit .The painting turned out great (must click bar for full-sized image)!
I've thought about this a lot today.If you want to post pictures of your friends or family that's fine, but thinking more of the little bits of opulence that just make you feel like, daaamn, this feels goooood.
The long winter nights must fly by in the Walt household.

My quality ones are Calvin Klein and I've got a pair on right now as I type this!!! Now the big question. How many days in a row do you wear a pair before washing?Brooks Brothers oxford cloth boxers. They retail for $15+ a pair. A few years ago I decided liked 'em, they were indestructible and I wasn't ever going back to cheap drawers.
Best worn under thrift store cargo shorts, of course.
I'm going "commando" as I type this ...My quality ones are Calvin Klein and I've got a pair on right now as I type this!!!

Good one!Buying any food item that looks tasty at the grocery store and not knowing or caring how much it costs.
Obviously the Hawaiian version of "the zucchini syndrome".Good one!
I still find it very difficult to let edible fruit rot. But one human can only eat so much papaya per day, and the neighbors no longer answer their door when I ring the bell.
