No tv at all, no dishwasher, and no car. We pay for the use of a
washing machine and rarely use the dryers also available on a fee
for use basis. At this point in a conversation people start wondering
how desparately poor we are so I mention the 3 computers, and
the 3 cell phones. At which point we are perceived to have an
outrageous attachment to useless and trendy toys that makes us
spendthrifts. Oh well.
