We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Some of which you cannot get from the four food groups....
Sounds like all the requirements a living being needs to be happy. :)
Things you need to survive in the wild?
It's almost like Maslow's Hierarchy of needs, but what's this about elimination? We may never know.
That's all I need in a mate.
That's easy (for a science teacher like myself anyhow!) - they are the essential life processes. Admittedly this list is for an aerobic human or animal (not a plant), but still. Oh, and 'elimination' is taking a dump/whizz.
This is a list of personal needs.
I think this is somebody's idea of a list of what's required to sustain animal life. There are some implied words: it should be "appropriate temperature" and "a mode of elimination of toxins" for instance. Right on, though: the author saved the best stuff for last.
Hey, we studied those needs in grade 7!
All the basic needs of life... well except rent, I sure could do without having to pay it.
All the needs one can meet at the library, no doubt.
At first it sounds like a survival list but elimination and sex? I'm confused and amused.
It looks like this person made a list of things you need to survive. They just can't live without reality TV.
the ultimate "survival" list
very interesting
I believe it says REST, not RENT. I agree... it's a list... perhaps of what is needed to sustain life.
I think "a hobby" should go on the list, maybe towards the top.
haha you guys are funny... Rent!!! oh my lanta! i can't stop laughing...haha
Forgot "space" another need for basic animal life...shesh, go to all the trouble to write it down and miss one.
I found this website via Postsecret && want you/s to know I'll be looking @ it everyday from now until whenever =] [&& when i find new things like this I tend to tell everyone I know about them && talk about them a lot]
I'll remember to keep anything I find.
this is the first time i've ever visited the "found" site... a link to this site was posted on postsecret in response to someone submitting a confession that they read notes that they find on the ground... it's kind of strange that the first "found" find i see is from cleveland. it seems as though someone were taking notes at a library and i'd like to pretend that the slip of paper was found in my college's library. then i'd somehow feel special and connected, even though i haven't been to that library in months. maybe i go to school with the finder. and if so, i kind of want to leave notes around for him to find and send in..
Maslow, a theorist of humanistic psychology, discussed a hierarchy of needs. The basic needs in human life include the things on the note, even elimination (urination & defecation) and sex.
these are a few of my favorite things..
Add "Friendships" and you've got a pretty good list of basic human needs...but perhaps that could fall under the umbrella of 'sex' depending...
Do people not read the previous comments? There is some redundant stuff in this thread.
Oh, and lets not forget about asexual reproduction.
right on.
I think it's interesting how the writing goes from print, to cursive, and back to print.
Is that "nutritions?" Help me out here.
They forgot "TAXES". That's pretty much unavoidable....
This seems like something you would check off for elderly patient care / history, or something like that.
Oh my, I too thought it said "rent"! I did wonder what it was doing on this list :)
i think you are all wrong. it's obvious that this is a to-do list of someone with a cold. breath, drink, eat, take temperature, go to the bathroom, get in bed, rest, and then have sex.
Kris, I like your version! But yeah, it seems to be the old signs of life for an aerobic animal form. First time I looked at it, though, it really didn't make sense.
This is Maslov's Hierarchy of needs. I learned about this in Psych class. This is the lowest rung on the pyramid.
I think they meant "Illumination". It goes better with the other needs. Makes sense too, It would suck without light.
I just feel bad for the kid who dropped it. He probably got a bad grade on a test because of it.
Elimination means doing poo-poos and wee-wees. Can't survive without it.
