Hmm...2 books, a lamp, hands cream, little bottle of lavender chamomile spray (something about aromatherapy), and when ready for bed I bring with me a bottle of water. That's only just on top of the bedside table...the drawers, well thats another mystery to solve...

[Gemme]

Nothing right now as We're piecing the house back together but rest assured it will soon be full of all kinds of stuff.

[Tuff Stuff]

Its not a really big bedside table,it has two bottom drawers to hold more stuff.

The one in the master bedroom,well,that's huge.

[justkim]

A small fan and I mean small. The RV doesn't really have a nightstand or side table and what is there is barely big enough to hold the little fan. My water tank has a place on the floor next to my side of our bed.

[Contradictor]

Moisturiser
Electric toothbrush charger
Mobile charger
Book
Antibiotics that my (old) dog has to take first thing on a morning, to remind me.

Everything but the kitchen sink.

[Kätzchen]

The antique headboard to my bed, serves as my night table:

Inside two of the cubby's, I have antique glass jars filled with pens, pencils, metal nail files, and an assortment of favorite nail polishes.

On top of the headboard: alarm clock, heart monitor, cute bag filled with manicure/pedicure supplies.

Inside the main, unsheltered compartment area: two sets of antique binocular's, Blue-Emu cream jars, and a small box of Puff's lotion tissues, a canister of mace, and the business card for on-site armed guard security team with their 24-hour service phone number, and a big metal flashlight.

Right now, a wonderful Christmas card, with beautiful words. I think I truly found an honest wordsmith.

In this day and age of electronic messaging, Email etc etc there is still nothing that compares to a letter or card (or both) that you can simply pick up and read over and over again!

[Chad]

Wow! I see all these posts with guns. That scares me. I don't think that I could date someone with a gun on/in the bedside table.

I am a basic guy. On my bedside table is a bottle of water, chapstick, a lamp, photos of family, and an emergency light. That is it, just basic stuff.

hey Chad..understand your concern, but we've had a Meth lab raid a few houses down, and a burglary too. We're pretty sure we have a dealer a street over. We kind of have a unspoken neighborhood watch but we're gone part of the day. I'm from Seattle and had a few close calls. If you live in the country, you're lucky. Where I live it's known as the Meth county of the state. I don't relish the idea of having to use protection but i'm a woman and often alone. In the world i live in you have to take reasonable measures to be safe, if you don't you're just foolish-

Kitty my dear friend,

I apologize if I offended you. I know many folks that need guns in their lives. Please accept my apology.

I am terrified of guns for good reasons.

I am sorry,
Chad

Chad, no need to apologize. You are a beautiful person and seem to have a really nice life, that's wonderful. I wish I could say the same. I was raised from a tiny girl with loaded guns all around me, under beds, sofa cushions, cupboards, under my dad's pillow. I was awed by my dad and he just had to say "don't touch" and i can say I never did. Curious, yes but knew i just better not. Living around guns was everyday normal for me I never thought for a second it was weird. It wasn't until I was a young lady that I came to understand how powerful and lethal they were because i'd never handled one til then. I wasn't in love with them then and sure am not now. They are dangerous tools that you hope you never ever have to use.

Thank you my dear friend,

I am sorry that you had a life with guns.
My dad had guns my entire life. I even took a gun safety course. Unfortunately, guns were aimed at me and I almost lost my life. That is why I am terrified of them.

Stay safe my friend,
Chad

I looked back at my post from August of 2023, and it is still almost exactly the same. I even have the same paperback because I use it as a coaster and I've never read it. I'm down to one lotion and the makeup brushes are gone. The vase is still empty. Additions:

- change
