Laptop sounds good. So does a never-empty ice machine. I'd also choose TROPICAL island, not desert, because I already live in a semi-desert, and frankly, with all that heat I'd appreciate a bunch of trees. Fruit trees, especially, so I wouldn't have to eat as many mystery weeds.

And tools. Everything imaginable that's not electric. I love tools and building things out of nothing. I could build a Simon Rodilla tower out of carved peach pits Chairs out of palm fronds and woven with vines and hundreds of seashells woven in from smaller vines. The list is endless. As long as I'm building/making stuff, I'm a happy camper.

If my husband wanted to come along I would not be responsible if an alligator ate him.

Jawjaw would never forgive me for bringing him. Even if the alligators ate him in the first five minutes.

LOL! Hey, wait...let's think this through...now if you brought him, we could do one of those ceremonies like the natives use to do and Crown him da King of the Island....then feed him to the alligators. Whatttt?

Honey, its YOUR fantasy, bring whoever or whatever you want.

Somebody just sent me a beautiful email with Elvis singing in the background. Brought shivers and swooning to my heart. Maybe I could substitute Elvis for hubby? I mean, if Meredith is going to do all the building, the least we could do is provide good music while we collect the seashells for her, er, chairs (won't the shells scratch our pretty behinds? Oh and make sure there aren't any hermit crabs still living in any of those chair shells...could get a bit nippy at night! if you know what I mean)

OMG, I just had a blast from the past - chocolate covered CHIPS! (as in Chippendales?) Anne...we've brought the Chippendales to Boomer cyber parties here before - I know we're older and wiser now, but maybe we shouldn't deprive Anne (or anyone else here) of the warm memories that we hold so near and dear to our cyber hearts. Sigh.

I like Jawjaw's ceremony. Although I am also not responsible if your alligators get indigestion, OK?

Eagle, Ms M is a master of building all things eclectic. I would never put broken seashells where you sit Or use shells with live crabs still inside. PUH-LEEEZE.

I'll take a luxury cruise ship anchored at the beach. Behind varous closed doors are people and or things that I just happen to have a fancy for.
JJ....Elvis wanted to come, but I know he's yours.
Loyalty among sistaaaaahs!

ON my island there is no need for makeup, we would all be natural beauties. There would be a waterfall that when you put your glass beneath its spray, whatever you wanted would pour forth, different for each person according to your tastes.

There would be a cave of flowers and on a shelf of flat stone you would place a wooden dish and ask for your nourishment desire, which would magically appear cooked to perfection.

Any laptops there would run endlessly, error free with no wires. There would be no aging and you could be whatever age you want to be. You can also change that at anytime...

In the cool evenings we would each have an area in which to slumber on petals of soft fragrant flowers with any man we conjure up in our minds, they would gladly and lovingly massage our feet and bodies and answer whatever services we want fullfilled. SIGH!!!!

The reat of the time would be spent visiting with one another, hobbies, and swimming with dolphins.

WELL, I can dream can't I???????

i have just came in from the frezing cold, i can hardlie walk, can joints actulie freeze, i don't know whats going on with my hips!!!!
anything just as long as its warmmmm think thats why i opend this thread, sigh.
i have frends in hawaie, wonder if they would like a christmass visite.

Good grief Anne, can you imagine that? Wait until his face thaws, the pain would have to be excruciating. Oh yuk!!!

Back in Illinois when they would announce that the wind chill factor was like 20* below zero, they said to cover every part of your face, etc. and protect your eyes as well.

I always just kept my boys home from school on days like that.
