I consider the following to be my necessary creature comforts:

1. A car.
2. A computer/device to access the Internet.
3. A guitar.
4. A dog.
5. Something to listen to recorded music.

Good ones, MB.

My cats and my hair dryer are necessities of life for me. And, a computer too. :mrgreen:

Necessities?

I laugh.

Nobody mentioned a gun.

Nobody mentioned a knife.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Guns and knives are how you get and hang onto the luxuries mentioned.

Pax!

CoolH.!!!

You still watch those TBN clowns on the tellie, don't you?

Is it sort of a compulsion? Like stopping to stare at a bad car crash?
