I haven't blogged in a long time. Can't think of much to say. So I'm copying and pasting my blog from "My Place" over here. Kinda cheating, but not really I guess. Every day over there someone gives us a word to blog about and this was today's word and what I wrote about it.
Appliance
Today's word got me thinking.....If I had to give up all my appliances but one, which one would I keep? And after much thinking I have decided. The one appliance I simply could not do without is my refrigerator! How on earth would I keep anything cold if I didn't have it? With an ice chest and ice? How inconvenient would that be? Actually I already know how inconvenient it is because I have done it before. I did it for 28 days in 1998 when we took a road trip!
I think I could do without a stove. I mean I could always barbecue or manage to cook some way! I have done without a washing machine before. I didn't like it, but it wasn't impossible. I'm already doing without a dryer because mine decided to retire early! I might shed a few unhappy tears if I had to give up my microwave, but I guess if I had to, I could do it!
But, please, please don't take away my refrigerator!

Fridges are important, so I'd have to say that too. I do love the microwave though. Where would I be w/o it.

~Microwaves and toasters are purely for convenience, and therefore, not a necessity.
~Washers, dryers, and dishwashers are somewhat for convenience, and can be worked around.
~Stoves, though seemingly necessary, aren't crucial for survival. You could always barbecue, cook over an open fire, or eat meals that don't require heat.
~Refrigerators, however, keep food fresh and safe to eat. Without a fridge, food would go bad very quickly and you'd get food poisoning. I guess you could always do like the Japanese, who don't stock up or keep leftovers, but who wants to go to the grocery store every day?
