I stand in front of my microwave and say, "hurry, hurry, hurry!"  What would I do if I had to wait for an old fashion oven?  I haven't used one in so long my daughter thought it would explode when she was here and wanted to use it.  We had a gas oven and we had to light the pilot when we turned it on.  It was scary.  I don't think I could do that anymore. 

I work 30 miles from where I live.  What if we still had to use horses and carts?  I would just live in my classroom Monday through Friday.  The kids think I live there anyway.  They always ask where the teachers sleep.  Let's see, I have a microwave in there and a small fridge...I could do it if I had to.  Just add an air mattress.  Although by Friday I might smell a little ripe unless I could take a shower in the Nurses office.

I have to go to Kansas and visit my parents.  They are in their 90's and can't see well or hear much.  What do they do?  Just sit.  Wow! a week of just sitting.  I am SO taking an entire suitcase of books with me.

They live in a small town and don't have a computer.  Neither does my sister who lives close to them.  I am going to go through withdrawal while I am there.  How am I supposed to reach the real world.  I am going down to their little library and PRAY they have computers down there.  Although I can just imagine what my folks will say if I choose to spend hours down there.  I am not trying to say my parents are boring...but!

Lordy I wonder how people lived back in the days before technology?  What did they cook in?  I seem to remember using a pressure cooker.  That was our microwave of the 50's.  It was fast.  Arizona didn't have a lot of houses with air conditioning back then.  No wonder so many people have summer homes up in the mountains.  If we didn't have it here, I would have to sleep in the bathtub (full of water).  That is what I did when it took the AC repair guy 4 days to fix my AC 5 years ago.  Needless to say, I don't use him anymore.

Well, if you don't hear from me for a while...I will be back.
