If you had to sacrifice one thing, what would it be...
FOOD - WATER - SHELTER ... ?
Let me rephrase that question:
If you had to make a choice between going a day without water or going a day without Internet connectivity, which would you choose?
Today I was faced with NO CHOICE. Chris and I woke up to discover that all of the water pressure in our building was gone. We used whatever residual water that was remaining in our pipes to make 1 pot of coffee (thank God). Now we have nothing ! No flushing, no showering, no doing dishes, no refilling the cat's water bowl, zip, nada, zero, nothing !!
But I am okay. Really I am. I can make do with wet wipes, mouthwash, paper plates, and the one bottle of water that has been sitting half consumed in our refrigerator. But if the Internet were down for even a few minutes ?? I would have absolutely lost my mind! I honestly do not think I would be able to make it for a few hours let alone a full day!
I cannot exist without: Food - Water - Shelter and yes, I admit it....
INTERNET CONNECTIVITY!
What has happened to me? Have I completely snapped? Has Internet connectivity infiltrated one of life's necessities?
Am I the only one? What can't you live without?

I lost my internet connection for two days. It was really awful. I had to go to the library to check my email. It made me so thankful that I have a home office , despite the fact that I didn't have a connection.
Janet,
I am so sorry to hear that! You poor thing! All I have to say is:

hope everything is up and running smooth soon
I think I could live comfortably on the beach with no shelter or water to drink -- just my laptop (with Internet) tacos and cerveza. Viva Mexico!! LOL
Connectivity is right up there, yes I'm extremely thankful for having a good handheld devices. Thanks for the post.
HA! I have about 50 gallons of water stored. I could easily go without food for a day. In fact, I would welcome that.
However, no computer??? I sure hope the library is open.
Personally, I have not been in a library for years. Blame it on google, amazon, youtube, etc..
Guess I'm not quite there yet. While I like internet and am on it all the time... If it's out for a bit I end up with plenty of other distractions.
Janet,
I feel your pain. I too have had to make the library run.
