Since we don't have a TiVo I'd give that up first. We don't use our cell phone much so I'd give that up pretty easily. It would be hard to give up the dishwasher with two kids and an adult home all day generating dishes to wash. On a weekend day when I do a fair amount of cooking I can end up with three dishwasher loads in one day. On a week day, it's almost normal for me to do a full dishwasher load and hand wash the overflow.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

DVR, cell phone, dishwasher. Guess which one I regret most?
We have no dishwasher. Hell, we don't have a garbage disposal. And keep in mind I pump breastmilk 10 times a day, whivch means I wash and sterilize pump parts very very often. which means all the dishes get washed all day.

I need a freaking vacation from my world. It might be seasonal change madness, which I always get, it might be the things that have been in my head.
From yesterday:
A gunshot broke the silence at Provo's library and scared patrons Monday. The woman who fired the shot told those in the library she was having a bad day.
They're not sure if they're going to put her in jail. They're trying to decide if she's mentally disturbed or "just" drunk or what. Note that no one is too incensed that she was packing a gun in a public library. One of the commenters is saying "well, if more people were allowed to carry guns, someone would have been in a position to deal with her."
These are my neighbors! That is my library! I'm sick of these people!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I have no DVR (hell, I don't have cable TV), and no dishwasher. I will never ever give up my cell phone.

I do own a gun. But I'd rather just snarl at them sullenly. Or not see them at all.

I once shot a book in Provo just to see it....um...become holey.

I have a dishwasher and a DVD recorder. I guess I'd give up the dishwasher first since I don't cook. Although I hate washing glasses, and that's what I'd mostly have to wash, so maybe not.
I like not having a cell phone. It forces a couple of my friends to actually make plans in advance, which is useful. Maybe twice a year I think, "a cell phone would be useful right now." Whereas the dishwasher is useful just about every week, and the DVD recorder is useful... probably every other week, on average.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's terrible, connie! That's why I can't carry a gun, because I would misuse it while having a bad day, or while stuck in traffic.
Love my dishwasher and really miss the garbage disposal I don't have.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Random interruption for a dream report:
I remember almost nothing of my big long dream last night, except the very very end, which involved cats and maybe dogs and other fuzzy mammals. At which point tommyrot unexpectedly popped up and said something extremely clever, at which point Daisy Jane unexpectedly popped up and said, "Well put, tom -- you're going to heaven for that! I just called, and they said you're getting in on the wittiness clause."
