What’s something you never leave home without?

What's something you never leave home without?

My body.

My wallet.... :unsure

As an expat in Brazil (even though I'm a permanent resident) I never leave home without a certified copy of my Canada Passport.

That is something I would strongly recommend to any expat. Unless you're embarking on an international trip never carry the original just a certified copy. DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT.

For me copy of passport, copy of local Dominican id papers (cedula, residencia and driver's lic).  Keep all the originals in the safe.

I have not worn a watch for 11 years now ( including my last 2 years of working in the US).  Don't  miss it and love not being ruled by 'time".  However I am sure the thousands of dollars worth watches in my safe deposit box back in the states are lonely :D

One hot day in Georgetown, Penang, my watch was really rubbing my wrist, so I tossed it into a rubbish bin.
A pedicab driver ran over and caught it before it landed.
I still have a watch, but it's in England so I'm unlikely to ever see it again.

I always leave home without it.

I never had a wristwatch in my whole life (just the same as with TV) - I can afford the luxury of living without it!

I scrapped my TV in the UK as I objected to paying a licence fee, but getting little in return for it.
Satellite TV went first; I got sick of 15 minutes of adverts in every hour, and terrestrial TV was nothing but repeats, so I ditched the TV as well.
The licence people used to call me a liar when I told them I hadn't got a TV, but a simple Anglo Saxon phrase soon told them where to go, and exactly how to get there.
I only have a TV here for the family; I hardly ever watch it.
I do have an LED projector that I hook up to the computer to make my home cinema - that's nice to watch Star trek on, but with no adverts.

I never forget to take main door key .

Are people not smart because they do things in a different way?

Define "smart"

A phone is "smart" if it has more intelligence than its owner.
Unfortunately a very common occurrence.

How smart is the smartphone but still is a man made ,so what so great about it !! And at the end will go to waste bin if it's broke to piece

My smart phone is way smarter than me.  I aspire to be at it's level.

Would your phone say "smarter than me" or "smarter than I"?

I think it would probably do the other typo.  Phones are terrible with contractions.

Hehehe.

I'm sure Bob knows, but that was a little humor based on his own self-deprecating joke.  Since someone is bound to complain, it was not a personal attack on him or his phone's use of grammar.

i never forget to check the locks when i have to left house
