clean handkerchiefs. Its silly, but nose-blowing isn't the same with twigs and leaves, and my allergies can empty a kleenex-box in no time.

Lemme guess you where a c-section baby? Only reason I ask is that the few other people I know with funky skulls (like mine as well) where all c-sections babies. lol

My husband has a genetic disorder, a minor version of Phenylketonuria, where he is missing an enzyme that breaks down the protein phenylalanine. He's on a very specialized medication. Without it, we would get to look forward to him getting a slow deterioration of mental ability, eventually leading to brain damage and death.

In PAW, he is f*cked. And without him, I'm not sure how much I'd look forward to anything.

Microwave=stupid shit

Mr LeFey's medication= About as non-stupid as you can get
Lynn, that kind of puts my tea addiction into perspective....... Hope he stays well.

Sorry if that last post was a bit of a downer. That was just one of those moments where it occurred to me there is no amount of prepping that can fix that problem.

To bring the mood back up...

Pizza.
Frozen Aldi's $3 rising crust, frozen Jack's pizzas on sale, crappy buffet pizza, Giordanos when I'm up in Chicago, Racanelli's New York style here in STL, or Ciceros on the Loop. Imos, Papa johns, Dominos, Pizza Hut. I even like Little Ceaser's. And in Z-PAW, I will be dreaming of stringy mozzarella and greasy pepperoni on a delicious crust.

I will happily trade you that for something. I worked out a shelf-stable (cheese, pepperoni, chicken, or ham&pineapple) pizza last year and got the little charcoal grill to bake it on this spring. :D

You are more than welcome. Seriously.

But given the expense of the yacht, you're probably better off getting a big can of dehydrated mozarella. I'll post over in eats&drinks once the semester is over.

And as many have said nicotine, generally in the form of chew, If someone wanted to tear through a building of zombies and rescue the person inside all they would need to do is hide my can of dip and say the person inside had it. :P

Im in the same boat im looking at growing my own tobaco for home made chew

Another item would be surgical tubing (another thread made me think of it). I keep it around to repair dive/SAR gear even when I don't need it, lol.

And tattoos. I always look forward to my next tattoo.

I could live without a lot of stuff once I got used to it, but I'd need a ton of allergy medicine because my wife can't live without it on a daily basis, and it drives me crazy when she even misses her medicine by an hour.
