What is/are your guilty pleasure/pleasures? Mine is taking a nap whenever I want. How about you?

1. I really do feel guilty about it, but my Thursday nights when hubby and daughter both have rehearsal.

I get what I want for dinner (usually 2 Taco Bell taco supremes and a large Dunkin cold brew toasted almond sugar free iced coffee - weird, but I don't have to cook dinner for one!). Afterwards, I'll watch what I want on real TV while I play with my beads/wire. Once in awhile I'll have a one-on-one dinner with our son depending on his work schedule.

[SheltieLover]

4. Toasted almond sugar free iced coffee?

I never visit Dunkin' but I can see I'll have to start!

[debm55]

8. Great woodsprite and enjoy your Thursdays.

[Marigold]

Almost like the incoming Trump administration.

[MadLinguist]

7. A Boulevardier on the front porch as the sun goes down

Well modified Boulevardier; I add a whole can of seltzer. It's more alcohol than I really should take in, but some situations just call for it. Amen

[debm55]

13. Enjoy yourself and thank you for sharing MadLinquist.

[MadLinguist]

16. I do my best. If I crack a smile

from a passer-by, I have slightly bettered the world That's how I figure it, Deb. Thanks for checking in. We'll all need to indulge in a few habits of solace to make it thru upcoming dark days. Always grateful for your cheery check-ins. Life affirming vibes to you and yours

[debm55]

23. And to you too, MadLiguist.

[elleng]

To lazy to go out for ice cream today, tho,

[debm55]

14. Thank you elleng. What no ice Cream!!!!!!!!!!!

[LogDog75]

15. Mine is also a nap

Being retired, I get to take a nap whenever I want to. I'm a lucid dreamer which means I'm aware I'm dreaming and I can watch and enjoy my dream, be a part of the dream, or stop the dream. I set my watch to wake me and I usually take a 30 minute nap. I can be asleep and dreaming within minutes. The subject of my dreams are not something I plan on having and they're always different which makes them interesting. When my watch vibrates to wake me I feel refreshed.

[debm55]

21. Thank you LogDog75 Your post is very interesting.

[Aristus]

26. In my next life, I want to be a person who can do that.

Sleep, I mean.

I've had insomnia since I was in sixth grade.

[keithbvadu2]

17. Nap is good but no guilt.

[debm55]

19. Thank you keithbvadu2.

[yaesu]

[debm55]

20. Thank you yaesu.

[Better Days Ahoy]

22. Popeye's Fried Chicken

Spicy version

[debm55]

24. Thank you Better Days Ahoy. Enjoy your Popeye's Fried Chicken Spicy version.

[yellowdogintexas]

33. especially the chicken sandwich!!!! Mr YD and I both love them

Actually I am pretty much a fried chicken junkie. The nearest main drag to us has about 14 sources of fried chicken in one form or another.

[Better Days Ahoy]

39. Sound like the mother ship

To me!

[Aristus]

25. When Mrs. Aristus is out of town for longer than a day or so,

I like to order a pizza or some Greek food, get altered-mental-status-level drunk, and stay up all night watching movies. "Blade Runner", "Dark City", and "Excalibur" are my favorite late-night choices.

One of these days, I'm going to try to binge-watch the extended editions of all three "Lord Of The Rings" films in one go.

[yellowdogintexas]

34. PSA: you will have a severe case of sore butt. Voice of Experience. nt

[Aristus]

35. Oh, I expect breaks for leg-stretching and butt-rubbing will be necessary.

I know how to pace myself.

[yellowdogintexas]

65. my daughter and her friend watched the whole trilogy with us. They created a new term: numbutticus nt

[debm55]

43. HAHAHAHAH. Thank you Aristus. Sounds like fun.

[dem4decades]

27. Once in a while we meet a friend for lunch, I have an expresso martini, and then a nap when I get home.

Only when my wife is with me, she's my designated driver.

[debm55]

44. Thank you dem4decades. a great guilty pleasure.

[yourout]

28. Diet Coke ....

Lots and lots and lots of diet Coke.

[debm55]

48. Thank you very much, yourout.

[Cirsium]

29. Bars

Bob's Red Mill protein bars.

[debm55]

49. Thank you Cirsium. Enjoy.

[Different Drummer]

30. Naps are mine.

Since I'm retired, I can nap whenever I want to. They come easily to me since I have sleep apnea.

[debm55]

50. Thank you Different Drummer. Relax and enjoy.

[Upthevibe]

31. debm55............

Definitely True Crime shows!

Cold Case, Forensic Files, all the documentaries that come out about various serial killers, etc.

I also love my naps. When I have a teaching assignment I usually get off around 3:30 and when I get home normally the first thing I do is take a nap.

And over the past few years I've given up on dieting. I've tried so many ways to lose weight (I'm not obese but definitely overweight) and now I'm like "f it." In fact, I'm getting ready to have a pastry right now but I don't feel the least bit guilty....

[debm55]

51. Thank you very much, Upthevibe. Enjoy yourself and your guilty pleasures.

[mvd]

36. Hi Deb

Mine include fast food, soap operas, freemium video games (bad gaming model but they draw you in - the guilt part is playing even though you can’t pay and need to pay to go far), and some comedy movies and some pop music. Just some pop music because I mostly proudly like it.

[debm55]

52. Enjoy mvd. and thank you.

[GReedDiamond]

37. Taking a nap or two, and later...

...staying up until around 3 am.

Posted at 1 am.

[debm55]

53. thank you GReedDiamond. Be at peace with yourself and enjoy your pleasures.

[Emile]

38. Mine is Democratic Underground.

[debm55]

54. Thank you Emile. Mine too.

[Luciferous]

40. I have a coke zero every day. I also

[debm55]

47. Thank you Luciferous. Relax and enjoy.

[malaise]

41. A piece of chocolate or a scoop of icecream

before going to bed at night twice a week😀

[debm55]

46. Thank you malaise. Sounds good. Enjoy.

[justaprogressive]

42. Naps with my cat

Priceless.

[debm55]

45. Thank you justaprogressive. Enjoy.

[3catwoman3]

55. SCAN - Senior Citizen...

…Afternoons Nap.

One of my husband’s friends taught us this amusing acronym.

Since retiring almost 4 years ago, I’ve become quite fond of SCANning. We have a 2 seat La-Z-Boy recliner that is perfectly configured for this. I’m ur female Siamese knows the sound of the mechanism, and typically shows up to join me. She keeps me legs warm.

[debm55]

56. Thank you 3catwoman3 I like SCAN Think I will use it.

[TommieMommy]

57. A dish of frozen yogurt or some Dove dark chocolate

[debm55]

58. Thank you TommieMommy. that sounds great.

[KitFox]

59. Overall, being retired is my biggest guilty pleasure.

Fortunately, my late husband and I had many years with both of us retired. For example, being able to pop over to the coast at the drop of a hat, seemed such a guilty pleasure. The luxury of reading into the wee hours because you don’t have to get up for work is something I still appreciate. One guilty pleasure, now that I live alone, is indulging in ice cream any time and eating it out of the carton. Reading all your posts makes me smile. Thanks everyone!😊

[debm55]

60. Thank you KitFox. I want to put people in a good mood especially with all that is going on. May your memories of your

dear husband be a blessing to you. Love, Debbie.

[KitFox]

61. Thank you so kindly,

Debbie. I so appreciate your efforts and responses! You’re a treasure! 😊🩷

[beemerphill]

62. I too take a nap when I feel like it, but

My favorite Guilty Pleasure is Crispy Home-made French Fries. Long, crispy on the outside, flaky like a baked potato on the inside, hot, salty, and a little Cold Ketchup to dip them in.

[debm55]

63. beemerphill, thank you. My mouth is watering for those fries.

[Mad_Dem_X]

64. Barbie dolls

I just can't stop buying them. I'm running out of room to put them!

[debm55]

67. On no, you brought up my one single habit that started as a habit but got out of hand. I had ever Holiday Barbie. QVC

had a barbie show. Every week I ordered one. I had Bill Mackie Barbies. Specialties Barbies from movies. Barbies from different time periods. You get my drift. Thing is I never took them out of the box. If you deboxed they were worth less. I sold some on Ebay and gave others away. I didn't make any money. But they were all over the house in their boxes. I couldn't really enjoy them, It was almost like an addiction. Luckily QVC stopped the Barbie show and I stopped buying the dolls from Mattel. It was hard but I am Barbie free , except for the Mary Poppins Barbie. Good luck

[jfz9580m]

66. Real sugar

I have two!
I restrict sugar for health, but damn I love a dash of the real stuff . I stay under the 25 g daily limit though if I can. Also the very rare glass of wine !

[debm55]

69. Thank you jfz9580m That must be really hard to get off of real sugar. I admire your bravery. Because I take meds, I

haven't had wine in years. It was the only alcohol I had. Enjoy yourself occasionally.

[jfz9580m]

70. It's a work in progress tbh (with the sugar)

;-/
Sorry you had to eschew alcohol. On the plus side no hangovers.
