It's an oldie and probably been asked before, but what the heck? :)

A book to read, a boat to leave with when I'm ready, and my wife to cook for me!

I'm waiting to be shipwrecked on my own island, the life of a hermit is starting to look very good. Going on the universal assumption that anything would be available at the moment I need it, I would take the entire contents of a bookstore (Border, Barnes & Noble, doesn't matter), an entire Home Depot store and my husband. There would always be something to do. I read, I build things, and should the day ever present itself that it becomes a tiresome existence . . . we could get the heck outta there! Hey, as long as we're dreaming . . .

I've always found the life of the old hermit rather romantic. Just means I better start looking for cheap cruises. :)

Toilet paper, a motor craft with unlimited gasoline, the Dallas cowgirls.

I think you're the first person I've ever seen or heard respond to this question with toilet paper! :D Such a staple of daily life, and I can't belief this is the first time I'm seeing it as a response. Thanks for stopping by!

I have joined the,"I pooped in the woods club" and there's NOTHING that crumbling leaves can accomplish compared to Charmin, but I also think of the Dallas Cowgirls as a "staple of life".....

Crumbling leaves? Aim for fuller foliage next time! ;)

You're probably right, a good poison sumac, would suffice, I suppose.....

Vicious! I would not envy you! :D

1) full set computer so you can stay connected with World

2) One huge fridge stuffed with food/drinks so you not go hungry

3) sunglasses so to protect the hot sun in the day as island is hot



I need to add one more item : a man

Robinson Crusoe also asked for and got "a man", but not in the same 'Friday' fashion as you seem to appear to need....

You are invited to attend my desert island outing......

» Comment from Hilda Cang Comment made 1 year 253 days ago.
I can't possibly swim across this island to your desert island as my legs are exhausted due to the sea level... you may please swim yourself over by invitation.

A gyn-obstetrician, for the multiple calf-like babies, likely to issue from the Dallas Cowgirls, would be essential.....

1. My husband because we are both better together and can accomplish just about anything as a team.

2. A really good knife because you can do a lot with a really good knife.

3. As much rope as we can carry. A good thick rope can be used as is or pulled apart for smaller tasks.

Well of course I am going to take the Black Stallion. Second thing I will take is a strong, sharp knife and the third thing I will bring along is my Aladdin's lamp - because, heaven help me, if I got shipwrecked I'd be in a heap of trouble and I'm going to need the Genie!

» Comment from Melissa Swenka Comment made 1 year 253 days ago.
Where did you get your lamp? I could use one! :D

» Comment from The Old Gray Mare Comment made 1 year 253 days ago.
Teeheehee - antique store - problem is you never really know if it'll work.

» Comment from Melissa Swenka Comment made 1 year 251 days ago.
