+1 My dogs are the most important things I "own". To me they are creatures of unconditional love on loan from God. Bike is next.

 

The wife, although there is much debate over who owns who.

 

Well, I took the question as meaning "possessions". Since I don't "own" my wife, my dog died and I sold my house just before the market crashed, it would have to be my bike. My truck is a conveyance, getting me from here to there, but it's not like I look forward to firing it up and getting behind the wheel.

My favorite possession IS my bike. It's been that way for over 30 years. Not the same bike, but the bike I had at the time. Back when I was broke, young and had nothing else. Although I'm no longer young or broke (not quite, anyway), my bike has always been one of the most important things in my life. Not something that insurance would replace, and certianly not a "toy". In fact, I was suprised by the number of people who referred to their Harleys as toys.

My bike is not a toy, status symbol or ornament. It also doesn't define who I am, but comes damn close.

 

My identity!

 

Dogs, cats, horse, then the house

 

my bike, no doubt. granted, im broke and barely own anything, but that bike is like an extension of me.

 

My tractor.

There is not another single possession of mine that has made my life easier.

 

My guns!!!

 

...can never be owned.

In the grand scheme of things, I don't anything important. I am truly grateful to have an amazing family, and some incredible friends. If everything material disappeared and I retained my family and friends, I wouldn't feel as if I had lost a thing.

Stuff is replaceable. People are not.
