1. Laptop computer - Check! How else am I supposed to masturbate to internet porn in the comfort of my own bed?
2. 4 Month calendar - I've got calendars out the ass... computer calendar, cell phone calendar, a Franklin Covey organizer, a beefcake calendar, a deskpad calendar... but I don't really use any of them.
3. Measuring tape - I have all different kinds of measuring tapes... construction, dressmaking, rulers, etc.
4. Portable GPS - No. If I never got lost, I'd never have any fun.
5. Cell phone with Handfree - Naturally, it's the law here in CA. But I have an MP3-player cell phone, and the hands-free is the headset. It's mega super cool.
6. Hand Sanitizer - I ain't skeered a' no germs. I'll chime in with others in the thread: Americans in particular are getting way too germophobic.
7. Multi-head Screwdriver - I have several. I never can find them when I want them.
8. Pliers - Dozens. Again impossible to find when you want one.
9. Hammer - Those I can find. We have seven or eight.
10. First Aid Kit - Not really. I mean, we have all the fixin's but they aren't in one place.
11. Water Filter - I like my water unfiltered, thank you. Has more flavor.
12. Various Types of Tape - Several parts of my car are held together with duct tape; I also have mailing tape, cello tape, and masking tape. I think I may even have some surgical tape somewhere. I love tape.
13. Quality Sunglasses - I'm always losing my sunglasses, so I don't buy quality. I get those $8 clip-on things at the drugstore.
14. Wrist Watch with Alarm - Why would I want an alarm on my wristwatch? Those utilitarian-type watches are too ugly. I have an alarm in my cell phone, though.
15. Extension Cord - I live in a house that was built in 1928; every outlet in this place has an extension cord or two in it.
16. Work Gloves - Red suede, very fetching. I use them maybe twice a year... I prefer not to perform tasks that require them.
17. Flashlight - I have a few. Only the one on my keychain currently works. Fortunately I have excellent night vision.
18. Rubber Bands - The newspaper comes with a rubber band, and for some reason we are averse to throwing them away. Our whole dining table is absolutely littered with rubber bands.
19. Step Ladder - Step stools, step ladders, construction ladders... lots and lots of ladders in our house.
20. Shop Vacuum - Oop, you got me there. That I don't have.
21. Fire Extinguisher - We've never had a fire, it never occurred to us to have a fire extinguisher.
22. Earplugs - No. What would I want those for? I'm very good at tuning people out.
23. Heavy-duty Scissors - I love my poultry shears. They're the only scissors I can ever find.
24. Leatherman - A what? What is that? (*hastily consults Google*)
Oh, one of
these:
I do have one of those in my car. I didn't know that's what it was called.
25. Bungee Cords - Somewhere around here, yes. In several sizes.
26. Adjustable Wrench - It's what I always find when I'm looking for pliers. And when I want an adjustable wrench, the only thing I can find is a monkey wrench. That's the kind of world I live in.
27. Lightweight Cordless Drill - No... when I want to bore a hole in something, I just stare at it really mean.
28. Binder Clips - We use those at work, but I've never needed one around the house.
29. USB Flash Drive - I have a couple of those. I like them. Remember when the 3.5" floppy replaced the 5.25" floppy and we all thought they were really cool, and then the Zip drives came out and we thought those were really cool, then CDRWs... what's next?
30. Filing Cabinet - Well, sort of... I have a file
box. I don't have a lot of paperwork to keep track of. The Grandmother has a file cabinet.
