Title: Can't live without?
Post by: Well-Prepared Witch on November 16, 2013, 03:11:36 PM: I'm generally pretty levelheaded when it comes to my preps. I don't have 30 years of food stored, for instance. But the one thing I get all the time, so much that I feel like a hoarder sometimes, is toilet paper. I cannot face the concept of having to deal with "alternative" options. To me, lacking toilet paper means we've hit Mad Max. I get that this is sliiiiightly neurotic. :)

What's your one "gotta have it" prep?

Not living in fear is definitely a plus!

Post by: Deathstyle on November 17, 2013, 01:26:20 AM: Hot chocolate (I don't drink coffee)

and also life w/o the innernets would be a major bummer.

God help anyone that has bad enough luck to run into me after, I lose both or even just one of them.

However, monster & tobacco products are to follow.

I guess my "can't live without" would be companionship.

Post by: Well-Prepared Witch on November 17, 2013, 09:06:12 PM: Aw, man, Deathstyle, I would *miss* chocolate in any variety! Just thinking about having to go without chocolate makes me whimper. ;) :hiding:

Reaver - yeah, I think I'd rank Mr. WPW above TP & chocolate, even. At least most days! ;) Still, caffeine & nicotine are definitely things a lot of folks would miss!

Johnny - so it's not just me hoarding it! Whew! I'm relieved. Haha! Companionship is an important one, for certain.

My must have prep would be brown sugar. It's my one 'luxury prep'. I don't care what you are eating, with enough brown sugar anything tastes good.

Post by: Well-Prepared Witch on January 02, 2014, 11:39:45 AM: Oy. Porn's easy to come by - just go to DeviantArt (if you like pictures) or Fanfiction.net (if you like words) and print it out for your BOB. ;) I'd rather have chocolate - harder to get and far more satisfying. :sarcasm:
