If I was stranded on an island, what 3 things would I bring?

Now and again ladies and gentlemen we get these hypothetically questions that starts with "IF".  I think that a lot of us get caught with that "IF" cause even in a real life situation, however there is that one question that many of us are questioned and dream about if it really did happen to you(me).  

So I though I would go ahead and have fun with this one. . . .
If you were stranded on an island, what 3 things would you want to bring with you or could have with you? (Think really carefully.)

For myself I though about the following 3 things:

  • a tool box with a screw drivers set, a hammer, a knife, 2,500 nails,500 screws, a small saw, a large box of matches and a measuring tape.
  • a kitchen set including small and large sauce pan, small and large pot, 3 folks, 3 spoons, 3 knives and 3 knives, 3 plates, teapot and 3 cups. Oh I can not forget a couple of mixing bowl and wooden spoon.
  • a suitcase full of clothes that would include two coats, 4 sweaters, 9 t-shirts, 6 pairs of jeans, 3 pairs of jogging pants, 12 bars and 20 pairs of panties, 10 pairs of socks, a hat, a scarf, and gloves, 2 pairs of gym shoes, and 3 pairs of ankle boots.  And please let me not forget some toiletries  

Now I know that my things are very detailed (Hey, I am a girl and I need girl things!) however if I am going to be stranded I would like to know that I at least have some of the essentials  to survive.  But I know realistically I could not and probably would not have the ability to have those in a real stranded situation.  

So I rethought to question and came up with this: a case of red wine, a case of bottle water and a case of toilet paper.

According to my dad he would need a weapon, fresh clean water and a another person to talk to.

Which got me to think about another question regarding being stranded on an island, so who would you want to be stranded with?  This question made me think very long and very hard about.

So here is what I was thinking and I broke it down into two people, past and present.  From the past I was thinking about Richard Nixon so I can find out what the hell thinking about when Watergate went down, but then I thought about Harriet Tubman because I want know her cooking and that would lead to me being a lot of trouble.  Delicious good trouble of course.  So from the past I really would have to go with the character Alexandar Grayson (which actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers plays in Dracula), that way I know for sure that I will have a GREAT ASS time!  

From the present I thought about Donald Trump but would lead to me kicking his ass 50% of the time base on some of the things that would come out of his mouth.  (Plus that is a permanent headache and unfortunately I would not have any Tramadol with me.) But if I had to pick anyone from the present it would be my best friend Glenna.  Why?  Because I know she would appreciate the peace and quiet, the sun and the fresh air without having a lot of people there, and the fresh fruit and how we can cook our food our way.

So now I going to ask everyone, if you were strand on a desert island, what 3 things would you need and with who would you want to be there with having one person from the past and one person from the present?

I can wait to read what some you are going to say!

Learning Language and Love

Okay so once again I was reading in my favorite book, The Book of Questions when I became stuck on this question: If it was the only way you could remain with the love of your life, would you be willing for both of you to wake up tomorrow as native speakers of an unfamiliar foreign language, knowing the within a week you’d permanently forget the languages you now speak and largely be cut off from your friends and culture?  If so, what new language would you want to speak, and why? The first thing that came to mind was who would not want a lover or have the thought of having that foreign lover who could either speak French and Italian.  I know I did and I think that is why I took up Spanish in high school for the last 2 years. Then when I got in college, I continue with my Spanish and I took up Russian, Greek and Italian. Crazy right? Considering the Greek and Russian alphabets are so similar and that Spanish and Italian have some similar words. It was not until 9 ye...

Is it Jealousy or What?

I so need to vent and usually when I vent I often go to one of my friends, however, what I need to vent about, I am sure that maybe one or two of you are also dealing with the same thing. I have some family members that are just simply either jealous of my accomplishments or just mad that they themselves did not also reach their own potential, goals or dreams. I am going to tell you two major things that bothers me about my family.  But first, let me give you some insight as to where this all came from. When I was young around when I was still in grade school, I told my grandmother that I was going to accomplish 3 things in my life: live in Europe (actually moved to Istanbul, Turkey), become a model which I never did and I forgot what the third thing was, however, I did accomplish it. I was also in  high school when I got pregnant with my son Nick, while I was in labor, I told my mother and my grandmother that I would never have another. So come 2006 or 2007 and my gr...

Breaking the Cycle!

As a parent we always want the best for our child(ren)., and we start with educating them on things that we think that would be best for them to know as they grow up.  I was still a teenager when I became pregnant with my only child, Nicolas.  Did I wanted a child at that time?  No I didn't and it was my mother who said to keep him and that she would help me raise him.  My mother was also a teenage parent starting with me and a year later came my one of two brothers.  Now you are probably thinking that my mother why didn't she teach me not to become a teenage parent?   I am assuming that and I was right, that she did not know how.  She wanted to do my best with my life but she did not know to explain to me how to go about living life.  Growing up with 3 younger siblings I saw the struggles that my mother went through, and in my head I knew that I was not willing to do some of things that she.  I knew in my head that if I was ...
