Tuesday Twosome

Doing without...

1. If the cable/dish is out of service, what is your reaction and why?


The only time our dish is out of service is right before a thunderstorm and not for long, so I don't sweat it unless I'm actually recording something. It's a sad fact that thunderstorms seem to stalk on the night I'm archiving something that hasn't been shown in at least six months!

2. If the electricity is out of service, what is your reaction and why?

Annoyed. If it's at night James can't sleep. If it's in summer, the A/C doesn't run, and if it's winter the heat doesn't come on (gas heat still needs the electric blower to run).

3. If the phone service is out of service, what is your reaction and why?

Arrrgh! No internet access!

4. If your cell phone is out of service, what is your reaction and why?

If both phones were out of order, I'd be worried. What if my mom needed to call me? Or if we needed to call 911?

5. How dependent on a scale from 1 to 5 (5 being extremely dependent) are you on the four items/services that were just mentioned and do you think it is a good or bad thing?

Dependent on three of the four and it is a bit of a bad thing, but James needs the C-PAP to survive. We've known for a long time that even if we wanted to, we couldn't move out to the wilderness and survive with kerosene lamps and oil stoves.
