... and you could take only 5 things with you, what would they be? Members of your own family are excluded!!

Here's my list:

1. a generator
2. a bottle of antiseptic
3. a Swiss army knife
4. my laptop
5. Jimmy Smitts

Not necessarily in that order, lol.

What would you take?

Oh this would be hard!!! Especially if you couldn't bring your family!! But I think I would bring....

Bug spray
Sun blocker
Swiss army knife (good idea Jana)
Diary (pen included or is that considered two things?)
camera

Don't know how or why I came up with those but I did. I didn't bring food, would that mean I would lose weight???

Marti,

Good list! I figure we (or in my case, Jimmy ) can catch fish to eat. And hopefully there will be some kind of vegetation and berries, lol. Maybe even bananas, lol.

OK ..here goes ....warning: I watch alot of Survivor!

1. Matches
2. Water
3. machete
4. messkit
5. laptop(figure that'll keep me reading and writing)

I should have clothes in there somewhere I suppose. But if it's a tropical island - all bets are off! I'll trade in the laptop for sunblock.....alot of sunblock, lol

RK

Although I didn't say it, I meant that you would be there for the rest of your days..... is that why I'm the only one so far that is bringing a boy toy? LOL!!

good question i wouild miss my husband dearly ( or would i??) but here goes
1. suntan lotion
2.my tiara ( it would be the only pice of clothing i would wearlol)
3.fingernail polish (say what you will but a little magenta on your toenails will make you smile even if your dog just died)
4.my cute stilleto heels
5. the biggest bottle of tequilla i can findlol
...........you gals can waste your time with your swiss army knives and generators and stuff. if im going to be on a deserted island all by myself im going to stay hammered, run around in nothing but my cute stilletoes, tiara, and a fabulous tan with my nails perfectly polished!!! sounds like heaven to me...lol

Jana---Maybe it's because I'm a "newlywed" but if James can't come with me I don't want any man there!! (He's all the man I will ever need!)

Okay, here's what I would take:

1. Toilet paper-no leaves for me! LOL
2. Tent
3. IPOD-gotta have my music!
4. Journal
5. Diet coke, lots of diet coke

I was beginning to wonder when someone was going to mention toilet paper, the rest of you are going to be chaffed from all those leaves and bark. hee hee hee hee
Here is what I would take........
1. a 24 case of scotts tissue paper ( the commercials say one roll last a lifetime, so I figure with 1 24 pack i should be set)
2. my pink ladies tool kit ( for making huts, hunting, etc.)
3. a ream of paper to draw, write, etc, etc. basically entertain myself.
4. A very expensive, good quality stereo to get news and listen to music and have some connection to the outside world.
5. sunblock, even though i have only burned once in my life.

Other than that I would use my brain to make use of all of the things on the island to get anything else I need.

Marti: that last thing about james was so sweet I almost threw up. hee hee. You know I am kinding friend. hee hee hee

Toilet paper?! Just throw yourself into the water and you'll be fine!

I think you all are hilarious,,,tiara? jimmy? ipod?

ok here goes,,,
1. Rupert/or Colby...Rupert I will not go hungry and Colby,,,well ...ya
2. Generator
3. laptop so I can send a SOS to get my butt off that island...lol
4. my tool kit,,,I know whats all in it and we will be fine...
5. toss up of tooth paste or a bolt of cloth...won't even have to sew for Rupert,,,he would wear a sarong like I will be...lol but that tooth paste,,,hmmm hate when my teeth feel like they are wearing leg warmers...and the smell? its up there with needing TP
ok enough of the mental pictures...lol

Angie, I can see you and I will be the only ones with smiles on our faces, lol. Do you think the antiseptic would make my mouth kissable-fresh? Or should I trade it in for the toothpaste?? Maybe there will be some mint leaves I could just chew on?? lol

Neal heard me laughing about this thread, so I told him about it, and my list. He said he KNEW I'd take Jimmy Smits, lol, if not Tommy Lee Jones. Here's his list:

1. a big knife (like the one Crocodile Dundee has - now THAT'S a knife, lol)
2. a magnifying glass to make fires and signal a plane
3. fishing line
4. fishing hooks
5. Catherine Zeta Jones

I'm going to call Michael Douglas right now and warn him to keep an eye on her, lol.

You guys have come up with some good ideas, as well as some very fun ideas! I guess this is the best I can come up with.

1. My boyfriend - everything is always ok when he is around, and he can build stuff and hunt for me!
2. vegetable seeds
3. generator
4. lap top
5. first aid kit

Well, I hate to tell you this dolphin, but Jana's rules excluded sweeties, so I am going to give you johnny depp to take with you, my treat. hee hee
