I was thinking more material possessions. Like, if you had to sell everything you had except for one thing, what would that thing be? You can't really sell your wife's breasts or your junk. ...well technically you could, but you know what i mean. Btw, if they're for sale I'm interested. (The tatas. I'm gonna have to pass on the junk.)
Good morning, Clutchfans. Um...just laying here in the bed, half awake, half asleep, thinking about you. I was wondering if you were looking after your most valuable possession: your mind. I was thinking about John Glenn, his space journey and all. They said that when you're in space you lose muscle mass and the body mass and I wondered if there was any end to it. Or whether, if you didn't exercise in space, how long it would be before you were just a head, or a mind and have no body or arms. You'd have them but you couldn't use them. I was wondering if your body mass would drop to a certain level, and then it would stop right there. And keep whatever you needed to use your mind because it would still be working. Anyway, I was just pondering that. What do you think about that?
Wow...I have a lot of things that I would be sad to lose - photos, heirlooms, collectibles, toys from my childhood, but nothing I would be devastated to lose. So, I suppose from a physical material item standpoint, my car would be the thing that would have the biggest impact if I lost. Good question...until now, I hadn't really thought about it. Nice to find out I view my possessions mostly as just things, albeit, some with sentimental attachments.
My computer setup - a Dell laptop w/ 2 additional monitors hooked up as well as loads of business-software (Adobe, Microsoft, Sony, etc). And it's not that it's a sentimental thing - it's how I make my living as a copywriter. Plus, of course, it has tons of pictures, music, movies and all that jazz. I could live without a lot of things, but can't 'make a living' without my computer.
Outside of super-sentimental stuff and expensive property like the house and cars, I would also vote for my Macbook. Work, play, managing all my important stuff, making music, etc. A close second is probably my phone. I'm still impressed at how useful it's proven to me in a situation almost every day.
Good one. My great uncle was also a WWII vet. He didn't storm the beaches or anything...he was an attorney...but if memory serves he had something to do with the trials in Nuremberg. He got a 21 gun salute and I have the 48-star flag from his casket. I also have his Colt .38 service revolver, which means a lot as well. Two other cool firearms I have are my grandfathers 20 gauge shotgun, but my favorite is my great grandfathers .22 single shot bolt action rifle, which I need to check the date on, but is at least 100+ years old. Also of tremendous personal value are my dad's two trombones and my two saxophones. My alto dates from the 1920s. My tenor, which my mom and dad bought for me in high school, is awesome as well. These all have high monetary value, but the personal value is even greater.
Neat stuff - that .22 should probably be in a safety deposit box or something. When I first read your post I thought for sure you said "my dad's two tombstones" and I was rather confused lol.
A couple of things occur to me: * My father's paintings, of which there are hundreds. This one is probably the most personally valuable to him and me because it is the painting that convinced his father to let him be an artist: * My house, because my father and I built it ourselves (along with a crew of day-labor). * Farmland in France that has been in the family for generations.
