Toothbrush (and toothpaste)

Ergonomically-designed Rollerball pens

Disinfectant (be it in the form of a spray, a towelette, a gel...the list carries on)

CDs and CD players

Fabreeze

Baking Soda (so many uses for the stuff!)

Shampoo

Paper Clips

Band-Aids

Stapler and staples!!! (I'm a stapling freak)

Highlighter pens (again, I'm a freak)

Car Freshies (that's just what I call them...I'm referring to those scented trees you can buy that smell yummy and hang from your rearview, or if you're self conscious as I am about having a scented tree hanging from your mirror, they work just as well hanging from your cigarette lighter. lol)

Scotch Tape

Napkins

p.s., Gwen, I've never used an electric can opener. I'm excited to try one though. 😛

tell me you use toothpaste. lol.

(Hey, it's you!)

(Hey, you're gone!)

I'd like to add a few things to my list:

Hand-held shower nozzles

VCR

vacumm cleaner

Wrigley's Spearmint Gum

I think the answer is pens... I could find lots of stuff to write on, but pens are a necesity...

pheonix I can't even use the manual canopeners anymore- the only one I have is for a lefty. The electric one, well, I think it is broken but I improvise with it anyway lol. I just couldn't live without the magnet that holds onto the top of the can...

oh and definitely add duct tape to my list.

Would have to be tampons.

lol Lawgoddess! (good point)

I'm so glad that you have added toothpaste to your list jackbutter. 😉

OH MY GOD, it would have to be this computer.
