-Curling iron (at the moment)
-Ironing board
-Toaster
-Laundry hamper

[DS1]

1. computer speakers

printer

[Benfea]

2. Whoa.

I can't imagine living without those. I need my speakers to listen to Air America while I surf or game. I also need it just for the games themselves. I need them to listen to music. I couldn't live without them.

[DS1]

6. alternative

I've been using headphones ever since I started living with roommates. It would drive me nuts if one of ~them~ was working well into the night and blasting his/her bass through the walls.

Besides, these have amazing clarity and response.

[democracyindanger]

14. But no printer? And on a side note,

I have those same monitors, and was wondering this afternoon if they sell replacement earpads. My 10-year-old pair's vinyl is pretty worn out. You don't happen to know, do you?

[DS1]

18. Mine are well worn too, but I haven't looked into replacement pads

Hadn't thought of that, might be a good way to save a few books.

I know what printer I will be getting though, Canon iPixma 9900

[Heidi]

27. We just bought a Canon iPixma

and it _rocks_! Seems to use much less ink than our previous printers, too. :thumbsup:

[GOPisEvil]

35. I have a really cheap Canon iPixma too.

I paid about 50 bucks for it, but it prints really nice. :thumbsup:

[bridgit]

3. i don't have a blender either...

:cry: but i did acquire an ironing board the other day cause someone left it with a 'take me' sign on it in the laundry room :thumbsup:

[StaggerLee]

15. Gosh me too, I just remembered!

Battery died on my last one in the winter storm of 2000/2001.

Never looked back.

[Redstone]

20. So I'm not the only one. I've never owned a watch, actually.

Got clocks in the house, and a clock in the car. If I'm not in either place, I'm doing something like bike riding or fishing or shooting pool, and don't care what time it is.

Redstone

[Omphaloskepsis]

16. That would be a long list...

It would be easier to list what I do have.

-Books
-TV
-VCR (a few tapes)
-A bunch of ipods
-A few computers.
-A fuckload of ethernet cable. (and four routers)
-A fuckload of coaxial.
-A shitload of clothes
-A bunch of CD's
-Two sheets, four pillows, down comforter. (no towels or dishes)
-Toothbrush, floss, water pic.. (no toothpaste -- don't ask)
-REI back-pack type thing (my sister calls it my man-purse)
-Important papers
-Garbage can
-Electric heater
-And a three hole punch
-A shitty bike
-White 1987 Volvo Wagon with a Apple sticker on the back.
-Skateboard (helmets are lame)

That is pretty much it. It all fits in the back of the Volvo. And I really don't have a bed. The floor is OK. I use clothes instead of towels.

[DanCa]

[Cats Against Frist]

30. I got a microwave in '04, and the thing still terrifies me

I won't do that, because it is depressing.

I'll file my schedule of losses with the IRS one day soon.

[yvr girl]

24. Think of your life as 'uncluttered'

:hug:

[merh]
