LOL....Okay...

Pumice file with Sandpaper on one side. I am weird and have a strict bath routine. The salt water would be great with the pumice for a fantastic pedicure.

Well, Aussie, I guess me and my Game Boy and Sock Monkey will have to just give up our dreams of becoming a contestant if I can't have all my luxury items. If I feel the need for a more rustic lifestyle, I can always go dig a latrine out in the field behind my yard. I could also go take a dip in the nieghbors tank (Southern for pond ya'll) and see if I can get bit by a Garr (sp?). On second thought,nevermind!

In S2, Rodger would open the tampons that were supplied and unroll them to make toilet paper.

Jen, honey- if you are a freak SO AM I!
I swear I am the hairiest homan on earth. I soooo envy you non- hairy gals.
I have tried everything hot wax, cold wax, epi- crap, plucking, electrolysis, you name it- I have tried it. I wish I could afford the lazor treatments they have now- and if I was going on Survivor- I would find a way to do the lazor thing. In my case it would prob. entail a second mortgage!

My list would be
Chapstick (I also can't sleep without it)
Pillow
Jumbo size wet wipes
TP
Deck of cards.

I would want to take:

Dental Floss; Can't survive without it. It also could have other uses like tieing things up.

Off; Don't like bugs and like bug bites even less.

Sunscreen: Red is not my best color.

Georgio purfume: at least something would smell good.

Miracle ear hearing device; Used to listen in on those trying to get my buns booted off.

Jenhavins

I would be borrowing Georgio perfume from Firebird! Good one on Miracle ear!

Judy...I know what you mean. I have tried everything. I will shave and then if I get in cold water, it grows stubble! I used to go water skiing in the mornings, and the lake would be so cold. I swear, I could have stabbed lunch for everyone if I had had a couple more hours in the water!

My sister-in-law did the laser thing, but she is blonde hair blue eyed. I want to see the results from a dark haired woman with stubble the size of tree trunks!

Ok Firebird, they give you suncreen already so you get another pic....
But remember, you don't get your whole list! MB picks ONE ITEM for you! If you get the Miracle ear, we are going to radio commands to you while the game is going on!!! Great idea!!!

Off Topic.... I was reading some Tahiti Presse stuff and they were talking about what foods are available, what plants, the bug situation... and they said that there were a lot of FERRAL animals that were unprotected and could be hunted. What is a Ferral animal...?

Jen and Judy...I did the laser thing... had a few stubborn black hairs driving me nuts. It is very expensive and if you have a lot of hair it takes a series of treatments, but it DOES really work if your hair is dark. The laser seeks out the dark hair folicle.

The lady who did my treatment was funny... she had lasered her whole body- her legs, her arms, her armpits,her bikini line, her hairline....upper lip, etc. Reminded me a little of a chihuaua.

Ferral is a term they use for cats that have once been or were born of domestic cats. They live a completely wild existence.
I have never heard any other animal referred to as ferral.

We have lot's of ferral cats in Gainesville- and a neat way of dealing with them. We have frequent cat roundups - where traps are set by residents- and volunteer vets spend the whole week end spay & neutering them. It's an assembly line system - they do 200-400 operations on the first day!!
Then the an1mals are released back to where they were captured to live out their ferral lives....

Perfume attracts bugs!!!!!!!!

I work with a few ferral groups here in LA, Judy:)

Are you sure??? I thought this article was talking about these animals as a source of food!!!!
Not kitties!!!!!!!

oops! Forgot about that Moondance. I guess I'll just have to spray it on the others.

Thanks for the sunscreen Car. Can I bring a mini TV so I don"t miss the Amazing Race?

so it's like a tomcat? That's what they call them in Texas. A lot of people have them in their barns to chase off mice. Are we talking about the same type of animal?

That is a very noble volunteer job I think.

Moon...I already have a built in bug repellent...one look at my underarms and they would be scared to land! So even if I can't look pretty, I would smell lovely!

Yep, if you can find a solar tv, it is yours!!!pic

LOL Jen... bugs aren't attracted to visual but smells!

Well they better not eat kitties... they will have to deal with, MsMoonfinger

I have only heard of wild kitties referred as ferrals but they could mean other kind of animals.

Well, by the second week, since I didn't add deodorant to my list, the first smell would scare them off and the perfume would just confuse them!

Car54

Friday, February 08, 2002 - 02:00 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Well this is going to really upset me. They better stick to fruits and fish!!!!
I never heard that term before, I thought they meant FERRETS!

Moondance

Friday, February 08, 2002 - 02:13 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Well I will be upset if they eat ferrets too!!! They are so cute!.... I doubt VERY seriously that they eat kitties... I am sure they will stick to fresh fruit and fish... it will be in abudance.

From Merriam-Webster online dictionary:

Main Entry: fe·ral
Pronunciation: 'fir-&l, 'fer-
Function: adjective
Etymology: Medieval Latin feralis, from Latin fera wild animal, from feminine of ferus wild -- more at FIERCE
Date: 1604
1 : of, relating to, or suggestive of a wild beast
2 a : not domesticated or cultivated : WILD b : having escaped from domestication and become wild

So, they don't necessarily mean cats, but I have most often heard the term feral used in the U.S. to refer to cats, as in: "Golden Gate Park has a huge feral cat population."

I am going to be highly upset if they eat ferrals. It may be wild, but if it looks like a cat and walks like a cat, then....

Swine that live in the wild and are ancestors of formally domesticated pigs or hogs are also referred to as feral amimals. Feral really refers to an animal that is typically domesticated but is living a wild existence.
