What can you live without?

euroman · 3 Nov 2005, 04:50 AM

On a similar vein to other thread started but in reverse.......

Reality TV
McDonalds
Starbucks
Nike Running Shoes

Imported culture (not to put too fine a point to it...)

Hmmmmm maybe you should add email, the Internet, and the telephone (among other things)

(edit) and oh yeah, the zipper on your trousers too

In spirit of my response to the other thread, I could live without:

1. Windoze
2. Internet Explorer
3. Viruses and junk email.

fleas
snakes
spiders
mice
rats

and

Outlook 2003

I could live without headaches, cold, hunger, wet feet, alarm clocks, jobs that need me to rise early, fungus, lightning, advertising, internet explorer, boring lectures, flashlights, neologisms, Encyclopaedia Brittanica, Linux, XML, Notepad, pentium-1's, keys, bagpipe music, hair gel, elephants, Xerox, HP, McDonalds, Burger King, digital television, locks, jumpsuits, lemon juice, water-squirting flowers and the clowns that go with them, almond, sliced bread and books about 'Zen and the art of'... among others.

I could totally live without TV. In fact, I do

Me too! (actually we have one. It's always off, except when used to watch video/DVD, or when grandpa comes to babysit, and then he has to suffer watching without an antenna, because we have no antanna ever since I burned the antenna amplifier).

**munchkin** · 3 Nov 2005, 10:43 PM

Same here, hadaso! We have one too, but only to kill some time with a DVD once in a while, so it's not even connected to cable TV. By choice. Huzzah

Me three! It will be three years this Jan or Feb --not exactly sure when I unplugged the plug-in drug, but it was early in 2003.

Other things:
Viruses & junk e-mail — you really hit the nail on the head with that one, FMRocks.

Traffic (but I can't live without my car so it's kind of a paradox for me to say this)

I'll be living without a computer when I head out west to ski for a season, and good ridance to it. Screw the cell phones, the computers, the blackberries, I can't wait to be unplugged and disconnected from this tech-obsessed world for a while!

Pretty simple:
1. Lies
2. Cruelty
3. Arrogance
4. Self-centeredness

I can pretty much tolerate most other things in life...like operating systems, browsers, what have you

rmns2bseen · 6 Nov 2005, 12:52 AM

one other thing: all those @%*! movie remakes.

I don't have cable tv either (we do watch movies). Now if I only I could find a way to do without traffic.
