Lip balm is addictive. Quit while you can.

I can quit anytime I want.

My default answer is always 'Music', because on average that seems to be what it always comes back to. I'm not entirely positive though.

Individually wrapped, A&W root beer barrels -- packaged and distributed by Brach's candies, and sold at many fine retail outlets both here and abroad. My current source is the bulk candy kiosks at Publix supermarkets, but most stores are phasing these particular candies out, and I'm somewhat upset about this. The only acceptable alternative are Reed's root beer rolls (individually wrapped lifesaver-like root beer thingys). But it's a noticably different root beer experience that just doesn't satisfy the way that Brach's A&Ws do.

Not only are they quite addictive, and a great ice breaker, but I've found them to be instrumental in diffusing imminently violent situations.

How can you do without that? Have you invented a better way? Or is "tin opener" some kind of wollie talk?

I cannot do without my wife and Duke the wonder-dog. Eventually, I may have to come to grips with losing either or both, though given my health issues they will both have to cope with losing me.

I wasn't able to access this with Firefox 2.0, but am curious so will try to get to another computer soon.

Apple juice, it washes off the lip gloss the morning after.
 

FAQ: What Is the One Thing You Can't Live Without?

What is the one thing you can't live without?

The one thing I can't live without is oxygen. It is essential for our survival and is necessary for cellular respiration, which provides energy to our cells.

Why is oxygen the one thing you can't live without?

Oxygen is the most important element for sustaining life on Earth. It is used by our bodies to break down food and convert it into energy, and it is also used by plants during photosynthesis to produce oxygen for us to breathe.

What happens if we don't have enough oxygen?

If we don't have enough oxygen, our bodies will not be able to function properly. We may experience symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and shortness of breath. In severe cases, lack of oxygen can lead to organ damage and even death.

How much oxygen do we need to survive?

The amount of oxygen we need varies depending on factors such as age, health, and activity level. On average, humans need around 550 liters of oxygen per day. However, the body is also able to adapt to lower oxygen levels for short periods of time.

Can we get enough oxygen from sources other than the air we breathe?

No, the only way for our bodies to obtain oxygen is through breathing. Oxygen cannot be absorbed through the skin or ingested through food. However, some medical conditions may require supplemental oxygen in the form of a gas or liquid to help maintain proper oxygen levels in the body.
