For some strange reason…I say that…and…then I think…most of my reasons are strange…or…at least a little odd…but…I digress…for some reason…I asked myself the question…if you could take one thing with you to a deserted island…what would it be…
My mind was immediately flooded with a myriad of ideas…and…yes…George Clooney…did float through there…but…the one thing that I settled on…was…drumroll please…Google…
Those of you who know me…know that I spend a lot of time Googling…when I was diagnosed with Chiari I Malformation…I Googled…to the point that now if I type in ‘Ch’…Google automatically offers me Chiari…it’s smart like that…when I needed to know how to prune my hydrangeas…I Googled…and stopped before I cut off all the buds for the next year…when I had an enlarged lymph node…I Googled…
Well…you get the picture…Google provides me with information…at my fingertips…whenever I need it…it doesn’t sleep…it doesn’t get grumpy…it doesn’t seem to mind when I ask the same questions over and over again…it doesn’t get too tired…doesn’t have a headache…and…it doesn’t take offense at morning breath…or no make-up…
All of which makes it the perfect candidate for my island experience…or at least I thought it did…just to make sure…I Googled…yeah…I’m sure you saw that one coming…how to survive on a deserted island…there were 431,000 entries…
I checked out a few…and…found out some interesting things…like the first thing you should do is to look for water…not Twinkies…as I might have imagined…it seems the body can go indefinitely without Twinkies…not so without water…there were even articles about how to make safe drinking water…how to get the salt out if ocean water was the only choice…even how to get water out of a tree…I bet that cute as he is…George wouldn’t have known all that…
There was information on building a shelter…and what to eat…I didn’t like the bug option…but…it was offered as a significant source of readily available protein…
There are over 51 million entries on how to build a fire without matches…everything I need…
I could go on and on…but it’s like…Bertha…says…you don’t have to know everything…you just have to know how to find it out…when you need it…
So…here it is…I love it…Google…I’m never leaving home without it…I never know when that trip to the grocery store…could land me on a deserted island…
Sorry…George…

For me, it would be between Twitter and George Clooney. So close. 50-50. I LIVE for Twitter. But, ya know, he’s George Clooney. So if Clooney could read up on how to build a boat using his bare hands and some coconut shells … I gotta pick him. ;-}
Nikki, thanks for weighing in. You bring up some valid points…perhaps…George could do a season on a Cleberity Survivor then all our problems would be solved. I think we just created a new TV series.
Definitely Google. If you missed George, then you could Google him. Problem solved! You made me laugh…

Peggy…I Googled “how to get a date with George Clooney” and there were something like 34 million listings…so…I think we’re right…Google is the way to go…LOL! Thanks!
Hehe the title sure caught my eye 🙂 You (and Bertha) are quite right – it’s how you look for things that really is important. I like to think it gets easier with practice!
Thanks, Christy! You’ll be happy to know that it does get easier with practice…and older…much older…LOL!
