ginnyde Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 The refrigerator and the bed and the TV. I know that is 3, but I couldn't pick just one. Oops, I also really like the heater, air conditioner and one lamp. Quote
Ann Posted April 20, 2006 Author Posted April 20, 2006 At one time, I would have said the refrigerator but since the hurricanes of '04, and being without power for so many weeks, I have learned to do without a lot of things. I learned how to make ice last a long time in a cooler and used the grill to cook everything. I would probably say the television would be the thing I rely most on. When I was without a television for weeks, I felt so out of touch and uninformed. Now that I'm hooked on Deal or No Deal....I would be a basket case without my TV...lol Quote
dchurchi Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 T.V. I need the distaction even if I am not watching I like the noise. During College Football season I need both my T.V's and if I could afford more I would have about 5 as there are that many games on at 1 time Quote
Kasey Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Oh so many from which to pick, Ann! I would say Fred.............but guess he doesn't qualify as a 'thing', huh? Maybe the computer..............yep, I think so. So many, I think I better hit Submit before I start listing everything! Kasey Quote
shelliemacs Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Microwave oven I can't cook and microwave almost every meal from a frozen dinner. 6 minutes to a healthy gourmet meal. viola! Quote
Snowflake Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 ONE thing in the house? Door knob to the outside world. I love being home and comfy, but I need to be able to GET OUT every now and then...and running water/toilet rank up there, too. We have no water when we have no power (country living with a well) - I miss the water more than the light, I can pee in the dark! Not being able to flush, though....phew! (I know, TMI) Quote
Carleen Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 Our bed. It is the place where I can snuggle with my love without having to have either of us uncomfortable. It is where I can hold him in my arms skin to skin and smell his warm musky smell and close my eyes and dream. It is the place I retreat to when I just don't want to face reality. It is the place that I have many happy and fun memories , It is the only time and place where some mornings when I wake up, for a brief moment before I am fully awake I forget just how horrible and hard and painful the rest of my life is. In bed for one brief moment some mornings I forget about cancer. I wish I could stay in bed all day every day and feel that one brief moment. Quote
lilyjohn Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 definately the coffee pot. Then the computer. Quote
ztweb Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 I love my egg slicer...it lets my 3 year old son cut strawberries, eggs, olives, or mushrooms...he is now my big helper! Quote
trishnmiller Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 The computer is my lifeline! Trish (yes, I'm still lurking out here!) Quote
rmm17 Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 As any good college student would say...computer and microwave. Couldnt live without them. Quote
kamataca Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 It's getting to be that time of year again...let's hear it for air conditioning! How did the pioneers do it without A/C? Kelly Quote
LynneH Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Has to be the bed and the new washing machine I just purchased! Yippee! Have to keep those sheets clean so I can nap my life away! Quote
