curling iron – I keep my hair short now for the last 6 yrs.
blow dryer – my hair dries natural now, better for my hair.
mini chopper – they are just too little and really don’t chop that well
bread machine – I like the homemade bread the best, and I just can’t get over the shape of the bread once it comes of of the machine
VCR-just there to collect dust now thanks to DVDs I guess we will be saying that about DVDs after BlueRay comes down a lot more.

I have a natural gas grill, so why do I need a George Forman, electric Fry Baby,and electric skillet? I also don’t need electric rollers ( I have curly hair!) 2 electic curling irons, and 3 blow dryers! I guess what they say is true…the older you get, the more “stuff” you have. Will I get younger if I get rid of it?????

1. another deep fat fryer
2. Blow dryer (I air dry my hair)
3. Home phone (I would like to get rid of it but we have an alarm system)
4. Home alarm system, we don’t turn it on. My husband leaves about 2:am every morning and the
beeping it makes, (turning it off and on again) wakes me up.
5. Computer w/e-mail ( I am at a computer all day at work. I check my e-mail at work) I do not
go home and get on the computer. I’m at work now!

Stereo – not modern enough for the kids – they want their ipods
VCR – who wants to rewind?
Toaster oven – not quick enough compared to the microwave oven
Blender – not when the manual ice shaver does a better job for slushees
Electric Heater – nothing like cuddling under a blanket with the dogs
