[BriarfoxinWA]

Chloraseptic
Locking pistol box

2 remotes

BriarfoxinWA-Your shepard looks like my puppy Delgado, he is 5 months and 60 pounds and enjoys "talking" .

and his Lab looks like my roommate's (and kind of mine now, too) other than the fact that mine is brown and not black. He likes "talking" as well.

Yes Zelda loves to "talk". She's shedding like crazy right now so I've been using the Furminator on her daily. She just lays there and whines. I know it's not hurting her she'd just rather be running around the yard.

 

[DarthKTrava]

Alarm clock
Remote
Baby Powder
Deoderant

[diznygirl]

A lamp, some picture frames, a coaster and the telephone.

I could hit an intruder with the coaster (it's made of stone) to stun them while I dial 911 on the phone.

(I can't hit someone with the lamp - it's too pretty, I wouldn't want it damaged!)

 

[Piecey]

• Bottled water
• Cellphone
• Book
• Ponytail holder
• Vicodin

...that is about it.

DH has 7 rifles, 3 handguns, the remote to the sleep number bed, and the remote for his rock crawler r/c jeep cause you never know when you need to r/c rock crawl in the middle of the night.

Oh, and the guns are securely locked in the gun safe. My DH considers the gun safe "furniture" and uses it as his nightstand.

I was on another forum and this was the question asked.... and here was the response from the guy who posed the question:

- Fire extinguisher
- Gas mask with toxic fume cartridges
- Weapon (I won't go any further on that)
- Backpack with all essential items to survive for at least 3 weeks, and run my business (spare Netbook is in there as well).
- All important documents, IDs, debit cards, scanned onto a secure flash drive

Oh my gosh. I think I know that guy...or someone just like him. Very scary.

Um, the guy lives in NY, about 60 miles north of NYC.... near a petroleum plant.....

New Windsor?

Love that you started this!

And I thought I was the only paranoid in the world.
To play along ...next to my bed: weapon, glasses, flashlight that doubles as a weapon...

 

[raysnkaysmom]

that guy scares me!!!

I have an alarm clock, a jewelry box, a bra and mail

 

[NMAmy]

Jeez, I'm glad DH didn't read that guy's list or he'd be feeling the need to go get some of that crap. He volunteered with the Red Cross for years so he's very into "preparedness."

His side of the bed:
flashlight
this little light you tap and it comes on
a big glowstick (he seems to be fascinated with light sources now that I'm thinking about it.)
alarm clock
a weapon (not a gun)


My side of the bed:
3 books
lamp
my glasses

Yeah, I'm only prepared if there's a reading emergency.

2 Remote controls
Tums
Excedrin Migraine

[pppiglet]

Arms reach.....box of tissues, alarm clock, and usually 2-3 cats. (oh and DH!) I'd have to actually sit up, stretch, and reach into a drawer to get my glasses, flashlight, and eyedrops.

 

[Caradana]

Guy sounds like a head case.

Within arms' length of mine ...
- Daniel Silva's The Defector (book is currently captivating me)
- Ethan Canin's America America (you will feel the emotion bubble up inside you)
- Katherine Howe's The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane (rage and riot and historically immaculate and cool)
- my vitamins (go Andrew Lessman!) and a six pack of Caffeine Free Diet Coke bottles
- my blackberry, the vibrating alarm on which wakes me up in the AM
- yesterday's clothes
- pictures of random things I want to remember, neatly piled, awaiting an album home
- my palm tree print pajamas in case I get cold
- my backup pink crochet knit blankie, that I have had since birth, in case I get cold
- the lamp
- the cell phone charger cord
- all of the change I pulled out of my pockets

 

[FSUDisneyGirl]

Within arm's length...hmm...

My side table
Lamp
Book (or 2...or 3...or....)
Alarm clock that currently doesn't work
Cell phone (my current alarm clock)

I think that's it...
