Sex

Thanks for your comment. Sex is in my top 5.

1

Hiking....and being able to get in my truck and just go somewhere. I hate feeling trapped.

I feel the same way except I escape in my boat!

1

Books.

That's in my top 10! I read daily but not just books.

@kensmile4u I find it emotionally easier to red fiction than nonfiction, although I do read both.

1

Red wine

I prefer white but cheers to wine!

1

Humor

Rosh Level 7 Apr 11, 2018

That is right behind sex and love on my list.

2

Ice. When the lights go out, or the bombs come down, I'm going to really miss ice cubes.

In that scenario I will miss a cold beer and a cold glass of milk.

2

Lipstick. No one has ever seen me without it. Have been wearing it since I was 13. Now I use a kind that stays on for 24 hours, doesn't even kiss off!

Do you have all colors or just one favorite?

@kensmile4u Yes, just one favorite lipstick color, not too flashy, but just right. It's just a weird thing about me... My lips feel dry without something on them, and have been wearing it so long that I don't look like myself without a slight colored lipstick. It's something my daughter will have to pack for me when she carts me off to the old folk's home. 🙂

DONUTS

Yes thats close to the top for me. Krispy Kreme makes my favorite donuts.

2

My camera. I live behind my camera and if I'm stressed out and feeling crappy all I need to do is pick up my camera and find something in the house to shoot. My mind goes from stress to zen while I figure out what angle would be interesting to shoot from. It's better than any drug that a doctor could prescribe.

I understand. My guitar does that for me!

1

There's WAY more than one thing I can't live without!

Several people made a list. I listed my top 10. It's all good! There are no wrong answers here...

2

I would have to say MUSIC, it is the one thing that helps me through the day and keeps me on point with a positive attitude.

Music and kids are the most popular answers to this post.

Quality toilet paper!....not that John Wayne brand i.e. rough as hell,and don't take shit off nobody! 😛

Yes I call that Texas TP! Its got to be on everyone's top 25 I guess...

Trader Joes was selling Recycled Toilet Paper for a while. I kept thinking, "This can't be good." 😉

2

Today I can live W/O whisky.

I'm glad you got there. My ex lost everything including me and the kids over alcoholism and depression. I raised them myself from the age of 7 and 11.

Oxygen honestly...

True but is there a must have that is unique to you?

@kensmile4u ok ...ummm fresh brains daily????

@Charlene I'm good with that as long as they're not using them while you eat them! Lol

@kensmile4u nomnomnomnom..crunch!

2

My hair blow dryer...lol

Yes one can imagine many uses for that! Lol

3

Bacon

My favorite meat!

NoWay!🙂

@Leutrelle Second fav is Beef Brisket!

There being women in the world. I wouldn't want to imagine life without them, I'd lose my sanity in due course. I know I know, I'm just a hopeless romantic, right?

I agree. Love for a woman is in my top 5.

6

A garden.

I that your medicine place?

@kensmile4u yeah I suppose it's cathartic ?

3

Breathing.

True but what is a must have that is unique to you?

4

Books. They've saved my life. However, if I couldn't have that, I would have to choose music.

Both good choices!

1

Goals.

I agree, we all need purpose and meaning. Those are in my top 20.

0

Definitely, that's in my top 5.

Music, what a boring empty place this would be without it.

Music is my medicine. But my kids are my nourishment. I would starve to death without them.

My son. This is no kind of life. I’d rather be dead than face this reality.

I have seen a lot of loss in my life. But I'm sure the greatest loss would be the loss of my child. My sister lost her only child to leukemia when he was three. His coffin was the smallest i've carried out of many in my life. But it was by far the heaviest. I feel for you brother. My sister could'nt even talk about it rationally for ten years. But over time she was gifted a daughter who is now the center of her galaxy. It helped ease her suffering. I hope you get a gift like that.

@kensmile4u I will not reproduce again.

@NothinnXpreVails There are other ways. You've got a lot to give. What about extended family? Nephews or Nieces?

@kensmile4u I can barely stand to know what their lives entail, much less spend time with them. I wish them the best, but I can’t embrace them and their lives.

@NothinnXpreVails Sorry it might still be a painful reminder for you. The next level out is volunteering or rescue a pet?

@kensmile4u 4 dogs, 4 turtles, and a fish. The pain will always be there. Dogs have kept me here.

@NothinnXpreVails I'm glad you found your connection to life. My sister's pain was like a hurricane that slowly faded in waves over the years but it left a wound that never heals. I've found this to be true for all of my grief. I hope your waves are getting smaller and less frequent...

@kensmile4u I don’t know, it’s always different

You had to put things in perspective🙂

@NothinnXpreVails I can imagine there are many manifestations of grief at this level. I explained the best way I can. Do you see any pattern at all?

@kensmile4u all I see is chaos, but that is probably just perspective.

@NothinnXpreVails I agree. Chaos to me means like a hurricane. Then as it moves on you get the feeder bands aka waves of grief which diminish over time. That's the best metaphor that I can think of. But it's very possible you perceive this differently.

My kids.
