I think the kama sutra might come in handy.

OMG, Labpuppy! I was totally thinking that but posted the Lotus sutra instead (didn't wanna start parading down THAT path... but since you started it!).

Thanks Willow, you're right. I typed too fast. My vision is gettin blurry... too much time on BB boards... must get food... must get water... must get "fist of death" and punch Roddy...

Oh wait, wrong comic strip!

For arts and crafts...the makings of voodoo dolls. (Just in case my strategy doesn't work.) Of course, I've never actually tried them...but I have it from a reliable source (co-worker) that they work....sometimes.


I'm gonna have to go now...I have this really sharp unexplained pain in my head.

Willow_Woman... have you read "My Ishmael"? It's great and complements "Ishmael" in a really interesting way. In this one, a young girl is Ishmael's student and it occurs during the same time as the first book (like the man in the first book is leaving while she is going in to talk to him). There's another one (The Story of B) that is similar but it is about a group of people teaching and discussing the same philosophy. I love Daniel Quinn!!!

...I'd probably bring "10,000 Ways to Escape from Prison and Not Get Caught"

Anything by Catherine Cookson......maybe I would be lucky and find a book that has 5 books combined into one...........that should last 3 months.

Kaili, wow, no, I haven't heard of My Ishmael. I'm going to have to get it now. I too love Daniel Quinn! That book really blew me away when I read it.

Willow, oh, that's so funny! I was actually thinking about making a voodoo doll this past week. I have a horrible neighbor who acts like a fascist in 1930's Germany--calls the government on everything his neighbors do, for example, car in one place too long, weeds too tall, mail-box not "regulation", trees not trimmed, using hose to water vegetables during water restriction. I can't stand it! And this guy has the biggest flag-pole I've ever seen! Wave that flag high. The only thing is, that the flag he really wants to fly is probably the swastika. Yikes! And the government wants to encourage this type of behavior with the Tips program. (hey, don't get me wrong, I love my country, but when I see these super-patriots I get nervous, its like they are using it to cover up something sinister and lacking in their character)

Blah! There's nothing legal I can do about the guy (lol) hence my desire to make a voodoo doll!

This is a great thought thread.

The book, Harry Potter book 4 or Wiccin for beginners...good karma, good karma...

The Game, I agree with Romans 8_1, chess is cool

Arts and Crafts, easy one, oil paints, eisle and a dozen blank canvass

How about adding a movie, what DVD or Video Tape movie would you take in,

Romans8_1 and Twiggyish,

Yea! Ayn Rand Fans. I consider Atlas Shrugged my bible. I would definitely take it to BB or Desert Island if that was my last and only book.

Then Fountainhead, We the Living, Capitalism the Unknown Ideal (which we really need Now in today's busniess world! JMO)
