great inventions

If anything, the hurricanes of 2004 pointed out how incredibly spoiled we are and how much we take for granted.  I remember my step-mother telling me about trying to convince a woman not to buy microwaveable food during the rush to stock up.  She said the woman just glared at her.  Oi vey.

People come here and they have money and they are very important because they're from Connecticut or New Jersey... treat everyone else like rubes, don't listen to wisdom....

But I digress...

The real purpose of this entry is to celebrate the wonderful things that we have and use every day that are so helpful.  I welcome your input and addition to the list.

- indoor plumbing                                                                                                   

- electric oven

- washer/dryer

- clean water

- tub/shower 

-electric lights/power

-plastic garbage bags

-soap and deodorant

Do you get my drift?  Our lives are better with these things which seem so simple and basic.

- the toothbrush

- clocks

- bottle openers

Imagine living in a time when these did not exist or were scarce.

- refrigeration/air conditioning

What do you want to add?
