Thirteen Modern Conveniences I Absolutely Love!
Since yesterday's post was an excerpt from my novella Living in the Past, a time-travel romance in which the heroine goes back to the 15th century, I thought I'd post about how much I love those modern conveniences!
- Straight irons (I think straight and sleek is sexy - at least for me it is!)
- Laptop computers (love mine!)
- The Internet (what did we do before it?)
- Electricity (candles aren't romantic if you have to use them all the time!)
- Indoor plumbing (wells and outhouses - let's not go there!)
- Air conditioning (love the warm weather, but I love to come inside to ac!)
- Microwave (gotta love the convenience!)
- Washer and dryer (what's not to love?)
- Dishwasher (otherwise we'd be eating off of paper plates all the time!)
- Planes, trains and automobiles (it'd take way too long to get anwhere without them!)
- Contact lenses (love mine!)
- Sunless tanner (being tan is sexy - at least I think so!)
- The Hitachi Magic Wand ('nuff said, girls!)

Great list, Paige! I'd add iPod, TV, DVDs, movies, and radio. Hehehe! :)
Great list! I'm all about 2 and 6 lol!
Great List! I love plumbing and a/c. I do. We have an ongoing affair that I wouldnt trade for anything.LOL
This was a fun list. I love historical times, but these conveniences sure make life easier!
Oh, how true!
And the remote controller for the gas fireplace! (just like our forefathers) LOL!
What a faboo list. Amazing how we take all these conveniences for granted...I don't know how I'd make it without my connection to the mother ship! (internet). LOLOL
Our dishwasher died -- and now we use TONS of paper plates. :D
You know the other one I don't have that I really, really miss? A garbage disposer. It sucks having to scrape the plates outside in the yard.
I definitely couldn't live without my contact lenses. I can't stand wearing glasses anymore. Now I'm off to check out #13.
I love all modern conveniences! Is the magic wand a personal pleasure item?
Hitachi, yes!
Also, mail order floggers. Dude, can't get any better :)
(hm, maybe that was tmi)
I totally agree. I'd like to add hot and cold running water. Try camping in Africa for seven months - let me tell you. Running water coming out of taps is a huge thing!
Where would we be without straightening irons?Think of the frizz, lol.
And the internet, what a damn good invention!
I am a slave to a few of those myself. I don't do the flat iron though. My hair is wildly curly- hmmm, maybe I need to try one!
There are just too many modern corn-veniences to mention! But you made me giggle with a few of your choices. Rock on, baby!
Great list! Happy Thurs 13 :)
Totally with you on the convenience factor... I wouldn't make it. Seriously, power outages alone drive me nuts!
Tempest - Thanks! I'm with you on the TV and totally wanted to put it in there, but I couldn't fit it in! LOL!
Loribelle - Thanks! Me, too!
RG - Thanks! I so know what you mean! Gotta have 'em!
Elizabeth - Thanks! I so agree!
Jennifer - Thanks!
Rhonda - Thanks! Oh, I know! Gotta have it!
Robin - We don't seem to have much need for a garbage disposer, but I'm with you on the dishwasher!
Bernadette and Jennifer - I know! I love mine! Ooooh, and you'll absolutely love the Magic Wand!
Kate - Me, too! And yes, the Magic Wand is a personal pleasure item! Actually, it's the best personal pleasure item in my opinion! Run, don't walk, to your favorite online sex toy store to get one!
Amelia - Yes, is right! And don't worry about mentioning the floggers. I write spanking stories, remember? LOL!
Shelley - Oh yeah, gotta have the indorr plumbing!
Ava - A big, resounding yes to both of those!
Kissa - You so have to get a straight iron! They're the best!
Gina - Thanks!
Adelle - Thanks!
Diana - Me, too!
*hugs*
I'll trade you the straight iron for the blow dryer. Since suffering whiplash several years ago I have to dry my hair or the cold, wet hair hanging down my back causes my neck to ache horribly. Great list!
Mp3 players, hair dryers, DVDs and laptop computers - Yay!
Self-tanner, absolutely! The sun is overrated -- it causes wrinkles and skin cancer (NOT sexy). But a nice healthy glow from a bottle/tube is harmless and looks great. :-) -- Erica
