Christmas lights that play electronic carols :mad:
Video games (they either bore or frustrate me), air freshener (gotta keep that Back Bedroom Stuffy after all), movie channels, ballpoint pens, blowdryer, Tupperware, letter opener, La-Z-Boy, nutcracker, Clapper, telephone receiver shoulder rest thingy (can you still get those?), glow-in-the-dark light switch plate, or pinball machine.
Of course everyone else doesn’t have a pinball machine. But my household also lacks sugar (can’t have it), plants (don’t give a damn), or pets (allergic).
No napkins, no Christmas tree, no ice cream, no alcoholic drinks of any type, no ironing board, no garlic press.
“Bad” carbs.
No TV set, no microwave. No time for the first, no space for the second. I’ve thought about making room for the microwave, but I have no need, desire, or time to use at TV.
But then how do you watch Baseball and MythBusters?
Central heat and air, alcohol, and a kitchen table.

No television, no dishwasher, no bidet.
So where do you live that’s cool enough not to have an AC but warm enough to forgo blankets and comforters? I ask because it sounds like the type of place I’d like to live.

Meat
Junk Food
Cable TV

A Girlfriend
Well, I have a garbage can but for four months of the year it means dragging it down the icy, snow-filled driveway, sometimes in a blizzard, with the wind chill at -40 , so I keep it on my front porch tied to the post (I lost two to the wind). In the summer I have to have it because those little buggers called skunks rip the bags apart, otherwise I would just put the one bag I usually have out by itself.
I don’t have a cell phone. I like to have some time in my day when NO ONE can reach me. I lived most of my life without one and gotten by just fine. Anyway, I can’t use it at home because there’s no reception, except, as I’ve mentioned before, in the IGA parking lot. So you see a lot of tourists up there in the summer.
Dominican Republic. It does get very hot and humid in the summer, and most people who can afford it have aircon, but we hate it and settle for ceiling fans and open windows. At this time of year it’s deliciously cool and there is the occasional night when you need a little more than a sheet - we have a cotton bedspread that does the trick. I can’t get over the fact that some of our neighbours run the a/c all night, every night, even in this weather.
We’re on the coast. At higher altitude it gets really cold in winter, sometimes reaching 0 celsius or colder - yes, in the Caribbean.
If you pour an ounce of ammonia inside the bag before you tie it up, not even the skunks will bother it.
Gaming system of any kind (and I have two teenaged sons)
paper napkins (cloth all the way)
garbage disposal
Coke
Name brand cereal (and I have two teenaged sons…did I mention that already?)
Call Waiting
We do have 4 laptop computers and 4 or 5 desktop computers (I’ve lost count).
No canned peas. Abomination!
