Three-By-Five:

1. My motorized wheelchair
   
   
2. My cats
   
   
3. I am not allergic to any food I enjoy (Peanuts! Chocolate! Ginger! Gluton! Dairy!)
   
   
4. The Internet, and the people it allows me to know (All you guys, in other words)
   
   
5. That I can create happy spaces for myself with my imagination, and that others appreciate what I create

1. A dragon (I don't even know, either. It's just that the phrase: "I want a dragon" has been going through my head for days, so it must be true)
   
   
2. A computer program to help me design -- and test board games -- you know, where I could draw a board design, set parameters for pieces and their moves (whether dice-driven or chess-like), and then hit a "demo" button, and the computer would run through a sample game, and I could see if my design and rules fit together well. Some computer geek get on that, 'kay?
   
   
3. A webcam
   
   
4. Someone to practice ASL with, so I don't keep forgetting what I've learned in the past.
   
   
5. A magic, telepathic, house, that shifts around to meet my needs in the moment (a smooth floor when I'm crawling, a high-traction floor when I'm trying to stand, grab bars that move (or sprout into being) when I need to pull myself up, etc.

1. The Giant, Prehistoric Bunny Rabbit
   
   
2. Twin Bing candy bars, which (apprently) is one of the weirdest tasting candies ever: a pink cherry fondant filling coated in a salty-sweet, peanut, chocolate and coconut hash. The candy reviewer I heard talk about it, last Sunday, said that it kind of freaked out his brain when he first tasted it, but then an hour later, he was craving another. One of those love 'em or hate 'em things, I think.
   
   
3. New analysis of old results giving new insights into the role of volcanoes in the formation of life



4. New Evidence that humans may have been in the Americas some 2,000+ years longer than previously believed (text transcript of a radio show)
   
   Okay: One more... I must've learned at least one more thing, right? *rakes through memory* Ah! got it!
   
   
5. Waldorf, of Statler and Waldorf, on The Muppet Show, was originally played by Jim Henson

Illuminating!

re: group the second
Items 3 & 4, when added to a fast web pipe, could mean a signing partner anywhere (you've probably thought of this already).
Item 5 is sorely needed and totally seductive, which I discovered while attempting to move around in my bathtub yesterday. There's a forest of grab bars there but I was missing the one that would extrude itself after I'd positioned my legs and arms correctly.

#4 is one main reason for #3.

#5: exactly! And if you do end up on the floor (obey gravity! it's the law!), all the grab bars are suddenly 3 feet out of reach. Grab bars that would lower themselves to the floor so I could hook my elbows over them, and then raise themselves to standing height at the correct speed, so I could hoist myself with them, would save so much time and effort.

As for #1, I realised I could draw a dragon -- particularly for a grown-up's version of the design in this icon.
