Already doing without landline and TV...

I could survive without any of them, but I wouldn't call it living. I could give my electric can opener, hand mixer, land line, Cable TV, alarm clock, electric griddle, crock pots, dehydrators, electric toothbrush, away and even my sewing machines and sergers away and not be put out too much. I have two treadle sewing machines, a hand can opener, a whole bunch of cast iron skillets and a few stock pots, regular tooth brushes and I can can and make jerky and dry fruits without the dehydrator. We are so spoiled aren't we?

I know for sure I can live without: (because I don't use these--hubby watches TV, but the rest we don't have)
TV
dishwasher
satellite dish
air conditioning
radios (oh there is one here)
GPS
electric can opener
garbage disposal
garage opener
remotes
mechanical pencils

I know there are many more.....

I only turn mine on when I want to use it or when I leave the house. The rest of the time it's off.

Me too

I need a cell so my children can text me--it's the sure fire way to communicate immediately. When both were in college I told my husband I'd need unlimited texting. :lol: I wanted to be available... still do.

I could live without all the playstations, PSA's etc. anything that keeps our new generation of kids in the house and not out playing and excercising. These have taken over. I don't even know the name of them all. My GKs spend more time on those handheld games and now they can get movies for them, etc. So I vote all the new game fandangles, whatever they are all called. Way too many.
Me personally???? telephone/cell
