That was my thought on this…,a toilet. Life would be a lot more messy without one

(I think that would merit many points!)

Had our microwave break a week ago, and just got a new once installed today. I had expected to hardly notice that it was missing… wrong on that front. It was surprise how often each day I would reach to open the door to re-heat a cup of coffee, or boil some water quickly, only to remember that the magic buttons had run out of fairy dust.

I may get arguments that it’s not a ā€œmodernā€ convenience, but I know for certain that my life would be completely different without my eyeglasses. I’m sure that many of you have better vision than I do, but perhaps some know what I’m talking about. I would literally be ā€œlostā€ without my glasses.

That is not always true bahia7. Here in Phoenix AZ every year we have 100 days over 100 degrees F. Last week we hit 117 F, and it’s still over 100 F at midnight. That said I would kill for a cold shower. Cold water runs HOT, scalding even for a minute or two, then it takes 15 minutes of wide open cold to get below 85 degrees if it will even get that cold.

That’s very true, but the player I was responding to happens to live about an hour north of me and I know she wouldn’t have hot water without a heater :slight_smile:

I don’t know how people survived without talcum powder, barbed wire, and snorkels. I know my life wouldn’t be the same!

It will get worse Craig, You will need someone to use the clippers lol. Thank the Lord for my Wife!!!
But I agree with Alan, we can’t live without water. I remember well used to run dry often. Was mixing concrete, well went dry during, saw a small cloud, prayed for rain and in 3 minutes the rain pored upon me long enough to keep mixing the concrete. Praise to the Lord

I also live a self sustaining life style. I have the compost toilet, solar energy, greenhouse, etc…
I live on almost 1000 acres of mountain top. It is 1/2 mile to the end of my driveway. 40 minuets to the nearest stop sign/stop light. I have no cell phone, no TV, no credit cards. There isn’t even garbage pickup. 1/2 hour drive to the dump. My phone line went dead 2 days ago, so I went to go on the internet to tell someone at the phone company, and realized my internet was dead too. Thank goodness it went back on late last night or I would of had to drive an hour to find a pay phone!!! Has not always been easy since my husband was killed, but I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. Amazingly beautiful, and incredible peace of mind.

It’s obviously the internet. The ability to look up any information at your fingertips, or to communicate with anybody in the world at an instant. It’s hard to imagine back to a time when we didn’t even have a computer in the house, let alone one in our pockets. It does have its drawbacks, but there is no way we could go back to a time before WWW,
