• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

What's one thing you can't do without?

Thing I can't leave the house without? Probably my knife. Which sounds funny to say...but, truthfully. I carry a Buck 110 folding knife in a leather case on my belt. And I always end up needing it when I don't have it. You'd be surprised how often you say "I could cut this" or "I could fix that"..."if I had my knife on me." I remember to put it on my belt 99% of the time. But...the handful of times that I forget it, I always reach for it at some point in the day and I miss not having it. It simplifies so much of my daily activity. Even if I only need it for one small thing in the middle of the day, I will miss not having it.
 
money/credit or debit xD

seriously l don't know, l guess my favorite seal plush.
 
I usually need my phone, I have my wallet attached to my phone case so really I can't do much without my phone since my money and license is included when I grab it. also I get lots of emails, calls, and texts in relation to work and I need to be able to keep up with what's going on in case something happens
 
My purse. It carries all my necessities including my phone.

Without it I feel like I'm missing something!!
 
Aside from the obvious phone, mask, and keys, I'd have to pick 2 things: my sunglasses and my inhaler. The inhaler is in case of an asthma attack, and the sunglasses because I have a medical condition that causes extreme light sensitivity so I cannot go outside without them unless it's dark out.
 
I would have said my cat Keiko, but seeing as she passed away last year I guess that's not true.
I still miss my buddy every day.
 
Melatonin. ☹ Hopefully I'll become better at sleeping like a normal person.
 
aside from obvious things like phone, wallet etc. definitely my mp3-player! can't do without music in general :)
 
Wow
Theres a huge list...
My wallet is a secon part of my body
Cant stand leaving home witout it
Phone is also something unbereable to live without
My 3ds has been part of my life for the past 9 years
I carry him everywhere i go
The last thing im absolutely nuts is my floss habit
Aleays after a meal infeel the urge to floss
 
Apart from the basics necessities like keys, cellphone, wallet, and face mask (for now)...I would say my Hello Kitty sewing kit. I’ve heard stories about the elastics from peoples’ face masks snapping off. The kit also helped out a lot during my sister’s wedding a few years ago.
 
my earphones! i don't really enjoy commuting without them and it makes me feel idk more confident when i'm paying more attention to my music than thinking about whether or not i'm doing something weird with my arms or something haha

i also always have a water bottle and a hair tie on me because it gets pretty warm here and getting dehydrated would be bad

i used to have a powerbank in my bag all the time until it uh broke? it won't stay charged for long anymore which is,, a tragedy and now my phone is constantly in danger because i always forget to charge it in the evenings haha but so far i haven't completely run out of battery while out of the house so that's good! probably jinxed it by saying that though oof oh well
 
There’s the basic things: my purse, phone, keys, wallet, face mask, etc

My ereader! I was (and still am) a huge lover of physical books but was able to get an ereader recently and I love it. It makes reading books on the go easier because it fits in my bag, the screen is always visible with the backlight, and mine syncs up with my library so I can get ebooks through them! Sometimes books will go on sale for $3 too which is nice.

My heating pad & hot water bottle. I have both just in case one ever breaks and sometimes they’re good for different reasons. I get bad cramps though and need some sort of heat.
 
I never really thought about it until now, but aside from the obvious family and pets, probably my cell phone.

I mean I literally use it for everything. Talking to family, friends, and coworkers. Getting on TBT. Twitter, FB, Insta. It's my camera. It's my alarm. It has all my work documents on it. I use it for music. I could watch TV on it if I wanted to. If I would invest in a special case I could even carry my driver's license and bank cards in it. Not sure I could function without my phone?

If I had to pick something on a smaller scale..... eyebrow pomade is a necessity 🤷🏻‍♀️
 
I don't go anywhere without my phone (I'm awful, I get anxious even if I'm without it for a few minutes because I think I'll miss an important message....) or water. If I'm commuting, I also need my iPod and headphones because I can't stand commuting without music.
 
That one thing you need. It doesn't have to be something big or expensive, but you don't feel complete leaving the house without it.

For me, it's my Burt's Bees lip balm. I have a bunch of them in different flavors/scents, tints, and the original plain keep-my-lips-from-getting-owwy.

My sister swears by eos and a friend will fight you for her Fresh Sugar. Another loves a brand that I can't name here.

So, what's your thing?

Sadly, the phone is quite an addiction...I try to not use it so often but sadly end up using it often lol
