In the suburbs, buses are still something you can NOT rely on to get to the local stores, 24 hr pharmacy or kwicky marts when you have a minor medical emergency or food shortage.<br /><br />I never take my ISP for granted cause I went long enough without it to forever remind me of how inconvenient and/or agrivating going to the library to check my email is.<br /><br />As far as food, all I need is a decent supply of Beefaroni or other canned foods and I can eat without any stove or microwave. If I really get sick of cold food, I can set up a simple food warmer with a shallow pot, a stubby candle and plenty of aluminum foil. <br /><br />I'm sure Sid knows a half dozen ways to make an impromptu burner from scratch that's safe for indoor and tent use.Angry Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978451109796261747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927199606776255610.post-48214376853013865212010-03-12T16:31:01.116-08:002010-03-12T16:31:01.116-08:00i used to love everything in my kitchen since i lo...i used to love everything in my kitchen since i love to cook and got the inborn talent in cooking now by myself my needs narrowed-in to my pc, blackberry, attache case, my sunglasses and most of all my car then i'm fully geared up for a long day battle. but i still miss my kitchen once in awhile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927199606776255610.post-8396812924389744932010-03-12T06:23:16.538-08:002010-03-12T06:23:16.538-08:00Liquor.

I was spending a small fortune to have people drive me to work, pick me up from work, take me to the grocery store. It was just awful. Now I can just jump in my truck and run wherever I need to go. Have a great weekend O.<br />~RandyChicken Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01086930297113842826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927199606776255610.post-64557636758313673892010-03-11T22:40:40.818-08:002010-03-11T22:40:40.818-08:00Mimi,

I love my books and having the money to buy books is pretty nice, too! <br />A laptop is very nice, and I'd certainly miss not having one. <br />The one thing that I would not be able to be without is toilet paper! Seriously, I'd trade it all if I had to for TP.<br />Wouldn't you?ADMINhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16514196581554294499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927199606776255610.post-1323723459490812642010-03-11T21:43:56.771-08:002010-03-11T21:43:56.771-08:00Exactly the same as you and the car, because we li...Exactly the same as you and the car, because we live in the middle of nowhere, theres not even a bus that passes anywhere near us, so we need it to get places. xxxTraceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623660322653630759noreply@blogger.com
