Here's one from babyharley!

What modern day convenience would you be willing to give up for the rest of your life?

this is a toughie. I'd probably say my cell phone...as long as I had a regular phone!

Hmmm good question. Most of the people I know think I am crazy because I don't have a microwave. So that is one I could definitely live without.
But since I don't have one anyway I guess that doesn't count.


I would have to say my cell phone or pager. To be honest I would love to throw my pager off a bridge somewhere most days so I definitely would not miss it.

You sound like my DH.

Cell phone, definitely. My mother had me on her cell phone plan so she could still bug me every day since I no longer live with her. But she cut my service yesterday because I hadn't talked to her in awhile. I don't miss the phone at all.

I'd have to say cell phone. I haven't had one for almost 3 months due to low funds and I'm getting along just fine so far *knock on wood*

Dishwasher. We don't have one now and, truthfully, I think they are far too overrated and a waste of money.

Unless you have a lot of company over for a dinner or have a larger family where you would fill up the dishwasher once a day and clean everything, then you are wasting time/water, etc. by doing 1/2 load or waiting 2-3 days till its full.

If you have 2-3 people in the house, there is NO reason you need to be using a dishwasher - it can be done together as a family - wash, dry, put away


In fact, when I first moved to MN, we had 6 people in the house and no dishwasher - we had everyone pitch in to help with washing/drying, putting away and it worked out great

That would be the one for me...I already gave that up a couple of years ago.

With what I have now, I would say the VCR. I do have alot of VHS movies but I also have a lot of DVD's too....

That too.... Hubby does the dishes and he prefers to wash by hand. He does use the dishwasher as a giant rack for drying tho.
