What could you NOT live without?
Me, the love, closeness, and emotional connection I have with my GF.

1. Honestly, there's nothing I couldn't live without
There are plenty of things I'd rather not live without but I've been without virtually everything and survived. You do, you know. Hopefully, you won't ever have to find that out. :shrug:

2. My dear jasonc...
I could not live without the love of my husband, and the rest of my family and some very dear friends as well...

It makes my life worthwhile, to say the least...

6. My family
Everything else is expendable.

I talked with a guy this weekend who recently lost his 16 yo son. I can't imagine that.

8. sometimes I think I'd like to sell everything I own
(save a few articles of clothing) and just move somewhere to volunteer to help others. I heard an NPR report about orphanages in Russia.... and how short-staffed they are. Maybe I'll do that someday.

10. You mean you literally would not be able to continue living without your GF?

Not that it puts any pressure on her or anything!

13. It wasnt meant like that
this is not a, "love me or I jump" ultimatum.

this is just a "thing I would least like to lose" statement.

16. Oh good.
The "I can't live with you" types have always freaked me out.
I must've been reading too much into your OP! :)

12. All the basics (food, air, etc.) and then my books and my music.
Then a few select people I adore. And so on, and so forth.

In actuality, it's probably only a once-weekly or every-other-week indulgence.

22. Besides my family, I could not live without cats.
I have had to endure a couple cat-less years around college/grad school. It was hell. I'd go for walks just to seek out kitties to pet. It's the strongest addiction I've ever known.

Dogs, on the other hand, I sort of like, but could not live with.

32. Nothing. I would struggle to live, no matte what happened.
And if I got really desperate, and lost everything, then (knowing me)...I would probably giggle maniacly and start over. And woe to the man who gets in my way.

37. I'll let you know.
But having lived without love and emotional closeness, it is logical to accept I can continue to do so.

44. outside of necessities of life and my family and my kitties..
I don't think those should be in the mix...
I could not live without books. I can eliminate TV, Internet, radio(well that would be hard), going to the movies, and all sorts of other interests and activities, but must have books to read.
