[QUOTE="Fran, post: 14399, member: 3"] I'm grateful to have an automatic washer and dryer and a freezer that keeps ice cream hard. [img]:rofl:[/img] The old little teeny weenie freezers that had to be defrosted never seemed to keep ice cream hard. Such luxury for sure. My biggest luxury is a/c in the house and absolutely in the car. I'm sure my parents think this an overindulgence but it's the older generations job to tsk tsk over the younger generation. Mine did, ours will and our children will over their kids. My folks are still pretty impressed with two bathrooms in one house. LOL. We grew up with 3 girls/2 boys and parents with one bathroom that didn't have a shower. (shower was in the basement where dad showered off the grim of the steele mill). They did grow to appreciate a/c. Eating out was not something I remember ever doing with my parents until I was well into my 20's. It's a cultural thing and they were disadvantaged by not being able to read the menu or know what those strange "american" foods were. LOL. They have adapted though. There is no doubt that my parents lived a much harder life in terms of what we call luxuries. They didn't grow up with it and they don't really miss it. I prefer not thinking fresh fruit is only for special occasions. [img]:smirk:[/img] [/QUOTE]
