Which appliance could you not do without?
Comments (12)Washing machine - when I grew up, mum had a twin tub, long before automatics and you had to lug wet washing from one tub to the other for rinsing, with huge wooden things then take out again and put through the mangle manually to sqeeze the water out - no spinning as yet. When I first got married myself, automatics were available, but we had no money for one, so everything was washed by hand, even heavy sheets. The joy of the first washing machine I had was tremendous! I still enjoy the sheer wonder of using this machine. I have had three dishwasher, have one at the moment, but only use it when we have a large number of guests. I can't be bothered to pfaff about with it for a couple of plates and saucepans for the two of us, its quicker to wash by hand -and all that turning dirty dishes upsidedown - ugh it goes against the grain! I only use the microwave about once a week to part do a jacket potato - it cuts down the time needed in the oven. I have never had a dryer, it seems such a waste of fuel to me, I have a highly effective German dry air frame, unheated, but it drys two washing loads at once, overnight, in a room which is only heated by day. It not strictly an appliance, but would not survive without that from Oct to Feb, the rest of year washing goes outside....See MoreWhat's the worst place you've lived in?
Comments (16)ok, my worst house was actually several years ago, we had to move due to job placement and could find nothing, and with 1 large dog/4 cats rentals are difficult, if non existent. so we ended up in a place, can not say town they were houses scattered along a 10 mile road from one place to another. Anyway, it was called Crapo - that is with a long a thank you very much! As if I would live where you are thinking! lol it was on the back side of the national park on eastern shore of MD. 24 miles from absolutely anywhere, and 2 ways to get to that nowhere. Everyday you drove the park and it took nearly an hour, you never went more than .5 miles without a hairpin turn. Ok, this was true of all the houses, when snow melted ( not much up here or we had a good rain it flooded. Sometimes you could not get home. A couple times you could not leave for days! The county trucks would come by just to watch the waves splash in the houses. fish would swim past your door. hehe. And the road, it was often under water it was in the swamp and at sea level. I have pics, honest, little fish would jump out of the way of your car, sometimes the snakes swam faster. once you started you did not stop and everyone except the jerky out of towners, with their big high hunting vehicles, drove one at a time, not making a wake. And this was at least once or twice a month. One time it was snowing hard and we had to pick up hubby, in the middle of the night, I thought I was going to have to leash the car so we did not slide into the swamp, not that we would have known, you could not see it. It was so bad my dog was sitting in the front seat and kept putting her paw on mine and pushing it. The amazing thing is I worked in the "nearby" town, Adults would come by as they had been seeing their parents. Their parents had gone through this forever, and their parents before them. many, the first floor was unusable. There are still trailers in use there that the gov. gave them more than 10 years ago, after the big hurricane. The homes and trailers are just left empty when the person gets old or dies, kids won't move back, won't even claim it. unless hunters want it, it just stands empty. i would never want to live in that tiny flooded house again. But, I would never trade the experience. Every day we saw Eagles, Bald and Gold. Osprey, Foxes, Turkeys, herds of Deer, and sike. We learned so much. It added about 10 pearls to my necklace....See MoreWhat household item do you love to hate?
Comments (6)I currently own the most awkwardly shaped vacuum cleaner in Wales, I am certain.It was given to us from our neighbour....I thought they liked us! I also have a gas cooker about which my husband derides me each time I try to light the oven, he swears I twist my wrist and turn it out as I flick the knob....now I don't believe I do....much miffery goes on about 6 pm in our kitchen..lol & because I love Vintage & Antique furniture, of course I have projects which hang about waiting for attention and bunging up the spare bedroom...it's the 'Curse of Ikea' I tell you! When 'WILL' my Husband rewire that lamp? 2025?...See MoreIf you could only save one item in your home, what would it be?
Comments (26)What a terrible question to have to consider- How could you ever choose??? Many say family photos - but you know what - if I lost mine it wouldn't matter too much because I can remember my life in pictures - I was there. We take so many photos on our phone and never look at them we need to try to think back more and remember. My cat? Well, he's not a possession - he chooses to live with us and we are his servants! I suppose it would have to be my first guitar I used professionally - a 1950/early 60s (?) Hofner Congress. Here - have a laugh, this is me in about 1978: The guitar lasted better than I did !...See More
