Paris13, because as much as I hate to smile, she makes it happen.

OK, so now on a serious note. My most prized possession in my Gibson.

I played this song for a friend, but she was too stupid to realize that the song is about a guitar. What does it mean? lol

Is that a Steiff bear? I have some of my great-grandfather's tools. He was a machinist employed by General Electric, in the Boston area, in the late 1800's and early 1900's.

My Yorkie used to be my prized possession before he was taken from me, though I treated him like a person. Gave him yummies and let him up front with me when I was driving. He used to put his paws on the steering wheel and then stick his head out the crack in the window and stick out his tongue and look at all the scenery, including the pretty girlies. He had his eye on this female yorkie up the street.

Now that I just have my laptop and a few clothes left, my laptop is probably my prized possession now. I have all my novels saved on it, and a backup flash drive.

(Yeah, I don't have a lot of stuff, lol).

MysticDevice · Answer

I have a few CDs from way back. Listening to them is such a huge hit of nostalgia. Knowing where the scratches are on the disk. Remembering where I was the first times I threw them in the stereo.

The two specifically are
"Inhuman Rampage" by Dragonforce. That one was my gateway away from the oldies that my dad always listened to and sent me on my own path of musical discovery.

The other was "RUSH Greatest Hits, 1974-1987" by Rush. That CD was kind of marji g the end of an era for me. I had already heard all the old classic songs from the 60s 70s and 80s. After that I was stepping into uncharted musical territory.

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

I don’t know… I have lots of things.

I remember back when there was fire, I was in a long distance relationship and the only thing I took with me was my then boyfriend’s shirt. I just couldn’t fathom thinking that I would have nothing of him left if it got burned.

Thankfully it was false alarm.

Now, though I have lots of people I love and they have given lots of things.

I love my family a lot. I think whatever my family gave me.

provokeesmokee · Answer

My stuffed plush giraffe. He's a year older than I am, actually. My birthing units bought him when they started trying.

He comes with me everywhere, even traveling.

I don't always sleep with him, but he does sit on my headboard with my plushie of my late childhood dog.

My dad, only I have the rights to bear hug him. After my birth, he has been mine only. I remember shooting my mom glares when dad would kiss her forehead after he came from work.

Lol jk!

It is my keyboard I guess. It's been around six years since I had it. I am sure I must have something
like that but I don't remember any for now.

slatyb · Answer

I no longer have it, but it would probably be some books I bought from Publisher's Clearing House when I was about 14: A coffee-table book of Pinups, now quite collectible, the National Lampoon High School Yearbook parody, and issues of Mad Magazine. Maybe my mother's book club edition of "The Complete Short Stories of Mark Twain." Sunday school was no match for Mark Twain and Isaac Asimov. I was done with church at about 11.

Probably the blanket I was wrapped in when I was born. I used to sleep with it as a child. My mother cut it in half one day (I can't remember why) and I lost the other half. The half with me is wrapped in a box with other childhood memories ❤️

Jersey2 · Answer

A coconut. When I was 17 my friend and I took a long trip down to the Florida Keys. Long story but I knocked loose a coconut from a tree in Key Largo at “JOHN PENNEKAMP CORAL REEF STATE PARK“. It was a trip I would never let my kids take but is special to me. Diving, drugs, alcohol, strippers, wild parties… we lived life very fast.

We worked on a construction crew building a strip mall to earn money just to come home. Seriously wild times and not the only ones I had in my youth. I don’t regret it but I wouldn’t offer those times to my children. I am lucky to have survived and thrived in life. The coconut sits on the bar in my home here, even though I don’t do diving, drugs, alcohol, strippers or wild parties anymore.

Raaj4you · Answer

I was a stubborn materialistic kid. My parents bought me uncountable products and items for me. They spent all their hard earned money on my education. They bought me, from toys, video games, cycles, walkmans, to music system, bikes, toy car, real car, desktops, laptops, LED Tvs, etc. Now, it's time to pay them back.

I am a full grown man now, I love my parents more than anything. I am bored of materialistic life. Some of the money I have earned, I gave it to my parents. But I want to earn more and give it to my parents. Also to my future wife and kids.
