What other device would you have a hard time giving up?

lilac_jive · 01-04-2009, 10:47 AM

I hope you are like me and can't live without your reading device.

So is there some other gadget you love as much (or almost as much, or more).

I'd have to say my Tivo. I love it

So much, yes, that I will pay the extra $15 a month to have it instead of the DVR offered by cable companies.

Sad, but true *sigh*

As with every other electronic device, I had to be dragged kicking and screaming to get it. However, I love my DVR so much, its now in my sewing room. Husband doesn't care about it anyways, and now I can dvr all my movies, shows, etc and watch at my leisure.

He can have the regular cable box.

Tough choice! Excluding the reader...
Tying for first place would be my camera and my computer
Then my sewing machine
Then my overlocker
Then my radio

Overlocker? You mean that big guy in the sky with the key? No, probably not.

You're right, definitely not that!

I think they're called sergers in the US...

Oh, yeah. That really helped. Obviously not something I come across often. Lets's see, does it sound really cool?

I still have no idea what you are talking about

I have spent some ttime thinking about your question and I have to admit that there isn't another electronic gadget I'd have any difficulty giving up except possibly my wristwatch. I rarely ever watch TV (maybe an hour a year), I do not own a DVR or TiVO (in fact I'm arguing with Verizon about why I have to pay for a DVR when I don't want it for FiOS TV), I use the telephone but could care less about it (except for emergencies), never use a portable music player . . . I guess I'm just the atypical consumer: I'd shoot someone who'd steal my Reader, but the rest of the stuff, I'd help them haul out. My wife, however, . . .

Hemmers and quilt makers would certainly know, they can be costly, but no loose threads!!!

For a second there, I thought you meant a serger.

ShortNCuddlyAm · 01-04-2009, 12:23 PM

It's one of these

It sounds a bit like a mini lathe... or a sewing machine...
