Decisions

What is one thing you can’t live without?

  • Telephone and Wi-Fi

  • Air Conditioning

  • Music

  • Caffeine

  • Family

  • Pet Buddies

  • Electricity

  • Chocolate

Results are only viewable after voting.
I'd say Music, Family & Pet Buddies the most, sometimes chocolate and sugar has a negative rather than positive effect on me :3 Same with technology too, however when I believe I've lost them I do get a little scared cause it is a slight neccessity, a treat, and a relaxing way for me to immerse myself and calm down.
 
The most uncomfortable feeling for me is losing electrical power. Too many things at stake in terms of comfort and survival.

The second would be not having access to my car.
 
If Partner counts as family then easily family hands down.

If not, then electricity. I'd have no power, no charging anything, no internet, no hot shower, no warm water for tea, no cooking in general, no heating during the winter, no fans during the summer, no light at night, etc, etc, etc.

Most of these, if they were lacking, would be a true hardship. But to try and live without music? Of any kind? Such a joyless life.

I totally agree! I wanted to add that option because life would be so boring without music. It would be so painful and soulless with out any joy what so ever.
 
Electricity.
I did live without it for one year when I was six and living with my grandmother
in the country. She had an old farmhouse that strictly had nothing modern.
I was so busy being a kid that it didn't bother me.

Now, no electricity and nothing works. Life would be very difficult without it.
No air conditioning in Florida is bad also. I was without it, stuck in the house with only battery- operated hurricane lamps once for 12 days.
Thankfully I had a battery powered radio/cd player that kept me sane.

Having no air conditioning is suffering along with no electricity too. At my other house, there was no air conditioning at all. My parents had to buy portable air conditioners to put in our rooms because It was so freaking hot. Our bedrooms would be as cold as an ice box, but as soon as you would go downstairs it would be like living in a desert. There were also skylights in the house as well which didn’t help.
 
Definitely my pets/animals. I would have no purpose without them. Music is a close second.
But to be honest, I think I would be pretty unhappy without the majority of these. Family I could do without though.
 
Electricity is a tough one. Since everything needs electricity these days. A few years back a storm knocked out the electricity on December 24th. Hundreds of trees came crashing down over powerlines. It didn't come back until December 29th! Worst Christmas ever. :fearscream:
 
I spent some time in the bush and lived without nearly everything on that list. I like my coffee in the morning though, even if I have to light a fire to get it.
 
I voted Electricity, because my life passion is electronics and electronics generally need electricity.

But, more simply; some other items I feel I can't live without is:
Air,
Water,
Solitude,
Heat,
Food,
Solitude,
Tools,
Solitude,

Did I mention solitude?

SAME LOL. Literally same. Wow.... I DO love my family, they can also be irritating for me sometimes <3 Here's an amazing song, I don't even have a sister but this is totally me and my family: "So let's take another hill! Sometimes you can be a pill... And why's the way ahead always so steep?" -
