Heat ... of any kind ... gas, electric (would not want to go back to a wood/coal stove, LOL). Electricity ... that's a given! Radio ... I love my old radio programs!

Our microwave quit working at 5 pm one day last week. We were at Costco an hour later buying a replacement. Like hckynut, I need my microwave popcorn.

@Nightowlz I was 16 when my parents decided to move from the nj suburbs to an old farmhouse in Podunk, PA. I went into a very predictable teenage girl meltdown!

Anyway, that old place had a working outhouse. My sibs and I thought that was SO funny, dissolving into fits of hysterical laughter at first. Come to find out that facility was a godsend to a family of 8 who had moved from a fairly new home with 2 1/2 baths to an old place with only 1 inside bathroom. As long as it wasn’t cold outside every one of us kids used that outhouse at one time or another rather than be uncomfortable waiting for the bathroom to be free. 😆

Years later my parents decided to get rid of the outhouse to build a garage. We all protested even though none of us “kids” lived there anymore. Existing outhouses are grandfathered in but construction of new ones is now prohibited in that township.

I consider it an emergency if my coffee pot goes out!

So that

and my toaster and microwave (I can't count)

Isn't it funny how we may have never had something so never missed it but once we have it, it would be sad to do without it.

I never had a microwave or dishwasher for a long time or garbage disposal and never wanted them but now that I do, I sure do like having them and would miss them!

Well there was 9 of us living in a house with 1 bathroom for years. We just had to wait our turn.

In the morning when we got ready for school I was last one up. Why get up to fight over the bathroom. LOL!!!

We all had to take showers in the evening. Still do now since that's what I did as a kid.

I would never buy a house without at least 2 toilets.

I'm glad I grew up with indoor plumbing.

I didn't have it till I was around 16 you went out to the outhouse and used newspaper. I didn't use the 'funnies' though colored ink U know.

I'd miss pressure cooker

Kalli · ‎03-11-2010

@Nightowlz yup! I hear ya on that business of having to wait your turn. The worst was when someone was taking a shower! 😂😂😂

With regard to the original question, I guess I’d have to say I’d miss electricity and heat. Once in a while we lose electricity. It’s fun for the first hour or so, but after that it wears thin in a hurry.
