Damn I must be out of it.

No TV
No cellphone
No garage
No dishwasher


You're a rarity these days. *I recall saying some years back that I'd
never get a cellphone. Now I have one, and saved my ass a year ago,
when my truck died out in the middle of nowhere and it was 20 below
zero. I was 15 miles from home. I was able to call the police, who
came and let me sit in their warm squad car, while I called and woke up
a friend to come and take me home. The sheriff would have taken me
home, but I lived in another county, and they cant leave their county.
But he would have taken me to the station if I had not found a ride, he
said.

And I cant imagine not having a TV. I only have an antenna, but I like
watching that Me-TV (oldies channel). I would not pay for the crap they
have on pay tv. Most programming these days is ****.

No dishwasher here either. Never seen the need for one. I use paper
plates most of the time. I figure it's cheaper to buy them, than pay to
heat dish water and use soap and all of that... Of course I still have
to wash pots and pans.....

My garage is a place to store junk. No room for a car

But I do have 30+ spare computers in my workshop and one spare coffee
maker in my attic.
Plus every computer in my house is on an industrial grade UPS



Why do you need so many computers?
I have 4 that work, and about 6 more for parts....
Until recently, I only used my Win98 desktop, and my XP laptop at WIFI
spots, but now Ive been working with that XP desktop which I repaired.

I had a cell phone for work and turned it in when I retired.

My wife of course has an iphone and since we usually do things together
it's not like I'm out of touch...but I don't think I've ever needed to
borrow it either. One of these days I may cancel the land line and get a
cell phone.

Sure don't miss the TV. My wife and I do watch movies on the computer if
we want. Some years we may only have the time to watch one or two...but
this winter we watched quite a few.


And I cant imagine not having a TV. I only have an antenna, but I like
watching that Me-TV (oldies channel). I would not pay for the crap they

I've seen TV a few times if I go over to someone's house and it's
unbelievably bad...however my wife and I do like Big Bang Theory!

plates most of the time. I figure it's cheaper to buy them, than pay to

The only time we use paper plates is for our big...once a year open
house. Don't want to be in the kitchen dealing with dishes when the
guest's are here. Otherwise the wife and I don't generate much of a mess.

I am a computer refurbisher for a non-profit organization and work on
the machines in my basement. I like to work ahead a bit and to have some
ready if someone needs one. I do not need 30 and may give some of the
older ones away on Craig's List
