Happiness is...

I worked in Japan for many years. The nice hotels have top of the line Toto's. They serenely greet you when you enter the separate room from the bathroom... gently light the area... slowly unfold... welcoming you. They play soft sounds of flowing water (or music) to maintain tranquility while do your business... emit a fresh fragrance. It's hard to go back to being a barbarian. A top the line Toto will set you back from $12K to $25K.

I'm with you... being in my 30s and born in the 50's. After decades of responsibility and stress... I have gotten used to no stress and love not being responsible. A few years ago I was trying to remove the last daily discomfort of each day... a cold toilet seat. I installed a Japanese toilet... now I am a complete sybarite.

This thread reminded me a couple years ago I took the top plate off my Audio Research Reference Phonostage... carefully putting all... geese, how many 20 tiny screws into a small container on the carpet next to my audio rack. 

I never saw them again. I finally had my dealer have Audio Research send me another set. 

I can relate, 

Amazing, you got your once in a lifetime reprieve from Murphy.
