Thirteen things I can’t (or don’t want to…) live without
Besides the obvious (hubby, family, friends, pets, etc.) there are things I can't (or don't want to) miss in my daily life. Here they are in no particular order!
Books & magazines - Who can live without reading? I certainly can't. Computer - It's a necessity of life for me, I get withdrawal symptoms if I have to do without... I know, I'm seriously addicted. Chocolate - If I don't have any for a long while and start craving, better be aware... the choccie monster will come out! To prevent I treat myself often. ;-) Music - Silence may be golden, but I need to hear music all day or at least every day! Witchcraft - It is such an essential part of me, I can't imagine life without it. Nature - The beach, trees, water, woods, mountains, plants, animals... We can't literally live without it, but I need to spend time in nature to enjoy and recharge. Jeans - I wear jeans every day; in summer with a shirt or blouse, in winter with a jumper or sweater. Writing - Doesn't matter whether it's on the PC or with pen and paper. I like to write lists, blogs, diaries, poems, etc. Pictures - Digital or printed, I love to look at all my pictures. Memories of people, places, events, history and so much more! Coca Cola light (Diet) - I've really tried to reduce my intake. I know the sweeteners are bad, especially in the quantity I use them. Still, , I can't manage to drink less for longer than a few days. Car - I don't dislike public transport at all, but I'd miss the convenience of having a car. Some places are hard to reach, the journey is more comfortable and faster. And I just like to drive (myself or next to someone else). TV - I could live without, but I don't want to. Money - no need to explain I guess!?
I realize how lucky I am to not having to live without these things. So many people in the world are less fortunate.

1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9 to one extent or another I'd prefer not to do without. I'll take pepsi (diet) instead of coke but I'm an adict to it. The rest wouldn't bother me so much although I'd rather only give up money if everyone else did as well.
ReplyDelete1, 2, 4 are must haves for me.
ReplyDeleteI am with you on most of these! Especially Diet Coke! I miss Coke light from when I lived in Germany! Much better than Diet Coke! Thanks for visiting mine!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my contest!
Oh my! We have the same requirements for a happy life! :) I couldn't go without any of those. I do not practice witchcraft/wicca but I am fascinated by it and read books on the subject quite often. How anyone can live without chocolate is beyond me! Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSeems the world would end without Diet Coke - I admit I have the same DC addiction :)
ReplyDeleteI can live without TV as long as I have the computer with me and that I can blog, my organ to play different pieces.
ReplyDeleteMy T13 is up too.
Things I can agree with are:
ReplyDeleteChocolat, dark with Rum n Raisins!
Music!
Nature, naturally (pardon the punn) but I work in a Botanic Garden!
Coke (as in Coca Cola and not the other stuff...)!
Car, I love my car. It is a little old Suzuki Vitara (Sidekick I think it is called in other parts of the world or is it a Samuri??)
Oh and most definately, both a PC and the TV!!!
Our list is up if you have the time to stop by...
Books, books, books. Who can have enough. I need my computer and camera as well.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't live without reading, that's for sure! Nature, jeans, and pictures, either.
ReplyDeleteHey, Tink! I am with you on many of these -- not Diet Coke, though. Give it to me loaded!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, we ARE fortunate -- doubly so because we realize it. I just wish there was an easier way to spread it around more. *sigh*
Happy TT regardless.
I don't care much for Diet Coke or TV, but the rest of the stuff I wouldn't want to be without for long (changing witchcraft to my own religion of course!)
ReplyDeleteBooks books books. My favorite things on your list!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday.
TV isn't that hard to live without. Happy TT.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Books are right at the top of mine, too. :) And I love Coke, but the good old original - no diet version for me thankyouverymuch! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and Happy TTing!
ReplyDeleteDK
I'm with you on the books and the writing. :) ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting me :)
Yep, I could skip out on the tv and have weaned myself off the diet coke..and I am not into witchcraft, but the rest of the list can be shared.
ReplyDeleteI like how you had reading first, can't imagine life without that.
great list! i'm so there with you, especially on the chocolate and the music. heck, a day in heaven would be eating chocolate all day while listening to my ipod. happy tt!
ReplyDeleteI can't live without my coffee! Happy TT.
ReplyDeleteGreat list Tink! I wouldn't want to live without most of those things either. Books, computer, and pictures (or should I say camera) are must haves for me.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT! :-)
I agree especially about books, chocolate, jeans, and diet coke!
ReplyDeleteGreat list. Books, chocolate, and writing are definite can't live withouts (or at least live moderately sane without *g*). Happy TT.
ReplyDeleteMostly will be in my lists as well except for the diet coke and witchcraft.
ReplyDeleteFor me it isn't jeans, but my jean skirt...but I agree with you about the need to be writing....
ReplyDeletedamozel
My, my, my. I could list what is true of me but it'll be long. Especially nature, reading, and writing.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT
Be well and enjoy the day.

Blessed be! love your list.
ReplyDeleteMost of those are must-haves for me too. I've never had the chance to learn enough about witchcraft for that one, and I easily go 6 months a year without wearing jeans (it's too darn hot here in the summer), but the rest of those are spot on.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few there I couldn't do without either, books, tv, music etc. I could do without money, but only if I could get stuff for free ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy T13
I love your list. My Mommie loves reading, too. And I love when she reads because it is the best lap time for me!
ReplyDeleteFunny, every one of those things is on my list. add my family and animals and I could hide from the universe quite happily. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on most of those (except the withccraft, the coke and the TV), although they probably wouldn't have been my first choice if this would've been my TT. ;o)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.
Great idea for a TT! I'm going to have to borrow it. I soooo can't live without chocolate either :) Happy TT and thank you for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteBooks, chocolate, writing and nature are high on my list too! No pepsi or coke for me though. :-)
ReplyDeleteTV, Music and Books are always high on my list. Oh and money does help...:)
ReplyDeleteGreat list....most of them are must haves for me too:)
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with almost all of these. Except mine has to be Vanilla Coke. Except they don't make them anymore. So I take original Coca-Cola and add vanilla extract to it. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteOh I'd just die without being able to curl up on the couch with my jeans on, a laptop in front of me, and a diet coke in hand!
ReplyDeleteAll Important things in life and most would find a spot on my list as well, though I might dump chocolate for coffee
ReplyDeleteI love almost every single one of these!! They are things I can't live without too!! Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteWitchcraft I could do without - personally, but get that others couldn't. Coke [before they made the change] I couldn't do without, now, no problem. I can do without a car...would rather not but could do it.
ReplyDeleteEverything else, I'd struggle not having access to. Yup, we are pretty lucky.
What a wonderful list! I heartily agree with all of it!
ReplyDeleteOh, except for the car, our lists are almost IDENTICAL. I couldn't live without the Internet or the TV. I'm a news junkie. And Coke ... love it, love it, love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Happy TT.
ReplyDeleteI definitely would not want to lose my books or my computer. I have a lot of books that I read over & over. I don't usually like to buy a book, if it is not something I am going to read over & over.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on a lot of those!!! I'm also a diet coke addict. Great list.
ReplyDeleteI'd give up my diet Coke before I'd give up my computer! I'd even give up chocolate first! But God is tops of all on my list, everything else in life I can live without.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think I have to agree with you on all points...I don't drink a lot of pop, but once in a while I drink Diet Coke. Jeans and nature and pagan traditions the best!
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on the Chocolate,
ReplyDeleteDiet Coke, and pictures.
Awesome Thursday Thirteen!
Yes, I can relate to many of those (especially the chocolate!)
ReplyDeleteMine is up, 13 pictures of my family.
Hey Tink
ReplyDeleteThanks for the read... Mine would be my bike (bicyle). I've lost 15.5lbs in the last 6 weeks.
Thanks again
Mitch
I agree with everything else except music and diet anything. lol. I'm a pepsi girl myself. Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't live without books and chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI need to be out and about in nature to recharge, as well, and music is a big part of my life.
ReplyDeleteI have two TT13s:

Greetings from one TTer (and pagan-flavored too) to another. :)
I wouldn't want to live w/o my tv, car, or computer either. But chocolate is not a luxury, it is a necissity! lol Happy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteI agree with just about all the items on your list! How lucky we are.
ReplyDeleteTerrific list! Nature, music and books are certainly things my humans don't want to live without, and I know my human mom loves her Coke Light!
ReplyDeleteOh boy do I agree with you on the #2, #3, #4, #8, #11, #13.... It's amazing at what "little" things that have such a big affect on us... :) Happy TT a day late!
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
ReplyDeleteChocolates! You're dead on. When will people realize that chocolates can solve ALL the world's problem and create world peace? lol. I agree with you on all except Jeans, Coca Cola, Car and TV. =P I want to sound better-than-thou by saying I can't live without money too but then everyone knows I'm lying, hahaha!
ReplyDeleteHappy TT! (I know this is belated)
I agree with ...
ReplyDeleteBooks & magazines, Computer, Chocolate, Music, Nature, Jeans, Writing, Pictures, Car,
TV, Money ... but would add ...
Diet Pepsi, my Camera, my Hubby & Daughter
Great list.
Take care, Meow
