New Zealand. Beautiful place, and the coffee, OMFG, they really know their coffee there!

True love. I was with my soulmate and she left me. My heart never healed and it's been over 4 years.

[–] mechoman444 3 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Sex.

I'm 39.

☹️.

Losing consciousness. I went to get by blood drawn for the doctor and for some reason I got nervous or something, and I lost consciousness for just a minute or two.

I woke up as if I had just slept for 30 hours, more rested than I've ever been, no matter how long I sleep.

Sometimes we just need to turn the human off then on again and it clears out the brain cache? I'll have to try sometime!

If only I could pass out on command.

I know it's silly, but a bj from one of my exes. It was so good and I've been a bit touch deprived lately.

There's a camaraderie with the other soldiers on your platoon that happens when you're in the military that I've never been able to feel with any other group of people since I got out. I would really like to be able to experience that again, but minus the war part.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

Blood of the covenant. I hear ya. Even that one guy or two who was an absolute dick, it's kinda all okay now.

I wanna smoke weed again. I did it one time in school when I got hold of a dealer. Didn't do it again, dunno why. Now I don't know any dealers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

I hear you, I'd kill for a good old buzz right now

I suspect that’s far from a pleasant experience. Likely traumatic, in fact. Why would you want to re-experience that?

[–] Lemminary 1 points 23 hours ago

I think they meant relive their childhood.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

To be content. At least i got to experience it once.

content adjective in a state of peaceful happiness.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] LordWiggle 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did you experience it once? What is it like?

Hearing "Highway to the Danger Zone" at a piano bar. It was request night for tips, where the requests were ordered by how much the tip was.

Most of the tips were $1 to $3. I laid down Highway with $5, mostly as a joke.

What I got was a panio cover made up on the spot, and it was the best version of the song I ever heard. Will likely never hear it like that again.

Fresh new set of teeth.

I had morphine at the hospital once. It was like a blanket woven with fibers made of love, calmness, and warmth. I would love to feel that again, but not a good idea. I can easily understand how someone can get addicted to opiates.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

wow, definitely tempting from your description

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Weird. I've gotten oxy for a surgery, and it was just meh. Didn't make me feel tired, didn't really do a lot for the pain--which wasn't really that bad--def. didn't get me high. OTOH, I'm allergic to at least one opiate, so IDK.

[–] kiwifoxtrot 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Same here. A little warmth and then a sudden wave of nausea.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 51 minutes ago

Hydrocodone made my eyes itch so badly that I couldn't keep them open. It took about five or six hours before I could see anything.

[–] captainlezbian 1 points 3 hours ago

Oh it feels good until the hives hit for me. But I was on Dilaudid. Never did oxy, vicodin didn't reduce my pain enough for me to bother learning I'm allergic

[–] Lemminary 1 points 23 hours ago

Yeah, drugs affect some people differently.

Tangentially, I've never understood when people say caffeine makes them fall asleep but it's a relatively common thing. Lol
