I am placing these exercises onto my profile page in case anyone want so engage in some...mental agility.
This exercise is simple, just like the last one, just like future ones.
For those that want to pounce on me, know now, I am not an expert.
There are no correct answers.
You are on a deserted island. (The Ocean waves when hitting the fine white beaches of the island seem to play the theme song to "Gilligans Island"). It is one mile square. There is one palm tree. There is water all around you, and no civilization for miles. You are stuck with no where to go.
Besides a boat of any kind, what 3 items would you want with you on this island, and WHY? |

You're still thinking about golf when we have item #3 ?
Good Lord! ;P
And also, might I add that a 1-mile square island isn't big enough for a Gold resort? hehe

On the contrary.
Chain saw to cut, and form the tree into a 4 star seafood restaurant.
Advertising, to bring in a customer base.
Dock for all the huge boats comming to the island to eat at my restaurant.
From there, anything is possible. Even a golf course.

Hmmm
1. A bungalow fully stocked with all necessary (and many unecessary provisions)
2. A woodshop full of tools and good lumber
3. A LOT of books
As long as I have #2, I can build my own damn boat.

That would be the friend. An unfriendly woman does more harm than good. ;-) |

1. My camera with associated stuff like WiFi laptop, etc.
2. A boombox and about 1,000 carefully selected music CDs.
3. A guy named Friday to do the trivial stuff like fixing meals, etc.
Edit: Correction - scratch that guy and substitute:
3. A woman named Tuesday to do everything I wanted her to do.

Flame you for what? Can I trade in #2 for another #3 - the CC is only needed when checking out and I ain't doing that ever :-)) |

Nobody wants a hatch full of food and a button that you have to press every 108 minutes?
Seriously, a *truckload* of Jack Daniels, my husband and our dogs. My husband is sort of like MacGuyver - he can build you a shopping mall with a q-tip and a pocket knife, so I'd let him worry about the details of keeping us alive. :)
