I'm assuming everyone owns at least one thing that they love, whether it is something as simple as a comfy pair of jeans or as expensive as a yacht I'm just interested to see what it is?

    One of my most important possessions would have to be my fridge. Whenever I’m stressed he always knows how to keep his cool. He’s always been a shinning light for me at all times whenever I’m feeling down. Most importanty he gives me his all. What's inside him now will one day be inside me. He satisfies my hunger like no other.

    I'd say my guitars and my dog, but I think she owns me...

    My guitars are the tools I use for music (my first love). My dog? Well, what reason do I need to love her?

    Awww!! She’s very adorable 😊💜

    My trusty little vehicle (13 years old and I keep saying I'll buy a new one but it's still going strong).
    My overpriced but overcomfortable mattress.
    My Vitamix.
    Lots of accessories & clothes, most of them from thrift stores and past seasons so they couldn't easily be replaced.

    On a serious note, a vechile because it brings me to the places I need to go. My home because it provides shelter for my family. My phone becsue it gives me access to information and people in an instant. My dog becsue he provides me with companionship and love.

    I don’t know, I typically only buy things I love.

    So things I love most.

    My bed (it’s like sleeping on clouds)
    My ninja coffee bar (making me friendly one day at a time)
    My Comfy (every lazy, cold person needs one)
    My kindle (read anywhere and books are cheaper)
    My camera (documenting my loved ones)
    My iPhone (keeping in contact with my loved ones)
    Head massager (because it’s the best feeling ever)

    I’m trying to think what I’d save in a fire other than people and animals and I got nothing.

    There isn’t a damn thing I couldn’t cheerfully walk away from right this minute except for maybe indoor plumbing. I’m pretty grateful to have a clean, safe, private place to poop.

    If I were an artist I would design a clean, UNSAFE, private place to poop and post it on the internet. It would be what is considered to be a normal bathroom but with things like spinning lawnmower blades and live-wires and stuff. Very exciting!!!

    this thread went to *kitten* fast

    My super power is my ever-present elementary-school sense of humor.

    Well, my power.

    Maybe my greatest weakness?

    Probably my greatest weakness.

    Considering what potato means in Italian dialect, I find this answer extremely funny.

    Let's see.....

    Some German made, high end, stereo speakers

    An autographed Quintin Tarantino movie poster

    A couple of Carbon Fiber Road Bikes

    Some gear from WWII ( Flags of the fallen, etc. )



    ( thing is, none of the material gear really matters all that much.)

    My 2007 Harley Street Bob...my hubby and I worked together to customize her, bobbing the rear fender, painting all the tins, building the handguards, and picking out all the other little custom touches

    Off the cuff...

    Musical instruments I have which feed my creativity passion.

    High(er) end stereo system for the pure enjoyment of listening.

    Kindle for reading.

    Pilates Reformer in my exercise space. I do other forms of exercise, but this is a luxury to have (for me).

    As much as I enjoy these, I could obviously lose any/all of these and still be okay (well... except for the instruments).

    My road bike, it’s my main mode of transportation and keeps me fit.

    My iPhone...not at home much and is great for productivity.

    My Mums stethoscope. Sentimental and use it for school/work.

    A photo of my family circa 2004. When we were all still alive/together.

    My Pug.

    My self made reference book using a combination of tertiary references painfully transcribed by hand before drafting into electronic format. Always a work in progress....only a few hundred pages of material so far in size 4 font with heavy use of abbreviation (to the point no one outside my profession could understand it in terms of context). Far more powerful than any reference material/app alone often bastardized by IT people (can not stand irrational sorting by alphabet vs. more logical sorting say by concepts - better for teaching people)
