You can't take it with you when you go, but if you could take one thing...
...what would that one thing be?

Seriously, I think I'd want to take an ipod jammed with all of the music I've collected over the years. (With a perpetually full charge, of course!)

Your turn!

2. What would I take with me?
Several things....my soul, and my memories, and all my loves......

Those are the things that have the most meaning for me, anyhow.....

4. Ah, I didn't realize that......
Right now, I'm feeling tender towards the people in my life, so that's why I said what I did....

Physically, I guess I'd like to have my digital camera and my collection of CD's....and a way to play them.....

:hi:

6. A camera, huh?
A way to email the pics back would sure be handy. :)

7. The best TV I've already bought.
Since I can't live without it, I may as well snuff it with it. :D

12. No things.
I'm not really a believer in an afterlife, but should one exist my wish would be for somebody to hold my hand if I was afraid.

"Here I am with <xxxxxxxxxxxx> and <xxxxxxxxxxxxx> at such-and-such peace march. Here I am with my kids. Here's my buddy <xxxxxxxxxxx> smiling at me. Here is the person I love making a funny face to make me laugh..."

The idea of playing music forever is appealing!

18. My identity.
Edited on Tue Jan-10-06 01:44 AM by Fox Mulder
Who I am. My life experiences. Good (and even the bad) memories. Just as long as evidence of my existence doesn't go extinct after I die.

19. But if you take your identity and life experiences with you,
what will be left for us to remember you by? :shrug:

21. But if you take your identity with you,
those memories will just be associated with some unidentified guy we once knew. (Just playin' with ya, Fox Mulder. :hug: )
