Since this seems like an even hotter topic lately, I want to get your opinions. What do you think about electric appliances? I know...it sounds shocking, but should we consider switching to electric household appliances?
I heard that there is a way to keep food colder than my wooden icebox. And there is some new fangled machine that can wash your clothes all by itself which puzzles me because I thought water and electricity was a dangerous combination and how can a machine do a better job than my washboard and metal tub? But the wildest thing yet is I heard there is a stove that doesnt use wood! How can that be safe? Please advise. |

In my day, we didn't even have an icebox, and we did fine. We used to place foodstuffs in the stream behind the house to keep them cold. And wood stoves? Bah - we used to cook over the fireplace! Sometimes your eyebrows might get a bit singed if you leaned too far over the fire, but it made for much tastier bread!
And then there's the wireless! A terrible contraption! No one reads anymore with that infernal squawkbox around!
The world continues on its headlong descent into Hades, I tell you! |

Hey - electric appliances belong in the home, not out in public and certainly not in the workplace where they can accuse you of abuse.
When I was a kid, we had to walk 10 miles, barefoot, in the snow, uphill, both ways to get to an appliance.
You people have no idea how easy you have it these days. You're soft! You're all soft! How the hell are we going to drive the Brits out of New Amsterdam territory with you sitting around, whining!
Grow a spine, dammit, and let's go dump some tea!
