Newspaper delivery.

Pizza delivery.

Bagels and Dunkin Donuts.

The Internet.


Seriously, life is good.

I have a husband who is my best friend and loves me unconditionally, absolutely, and for all time.

I am healthy.

I don't have to work but choose to.

I really do like indoor plumbing.

Because of solar power we create our own electricity in TN.

I can go to a grocery store rather than hunt for my food.

Cell phones are better than they were 15 years ago.

I have a much better marriage than I did 20 years ago (different husbands)

Retirement

computers/Internet connections

indoor plumbing is a definite plus (I hate getting slivers on my butt!)

appliances are more efficient, easier to use

life is good.

They make better windows.
Roofs on houses last longer.
Paint is better, and lasts longer.
It's easy to order online any kind of stuff you want.
Cars last longer.
I've got to agree that life is good.
