What can you NOT live without?

This morning I was thinking of things that I could not live without and what like would have been like if I was born in the early 1900's or sometime before the 50's and I don't know what I would have done.  I know everyone then didn't realize what was coming in the years to come so there wasn't much they could do but I am really blessed to be where I am and doing what I am doing and yet I still complain and rant about things that I don't even need to worry about.  I can do without a lot of stuff just like they did back then but there are some things that I just can't live without.

I can't live without water, food, love, relationships, family.  The material things that I have come to love and can't seem to do without is a radio, phone, computer.

I don't know though does it all really matter in the end?  Nope not at all.

What do you think and what could you not live without.

The obvious my children.

The material items vacume cleaner, toaster oven, microwave,bed.
i like to camp so I think I could do with out the above items pretty well.
If you were born in the early 1900's you would not know what you were missing.
So...lol you'd do just fine.
I know what you mean though.
What I could not live without?
Family, Love,and Faith.
What additional things I may not want to do without...
my computer,books,cell phone and more...:-)

I definitely couldn't live without running water. Indoor plumbing is one of those things that so many people take for granted, but the world would be a much unhappier place without it.

I wouldn't like living without electricity and all of the devices it powers, but I suppose I'd get by. :)

I don't want to think of my life without my husband, Gary being in it. Nor, would I want to wander around aimlessly without God in my heart, body, and mind.

I've come accustomed to eating every day, living indoors with the necessary gifts i.e. fridge, stove, bed, bathtub, running water, toliet, and yes, the computer.

I am very fond of my sister and brother-in-law, stepchildren, and in-laws. Plus, my friends.

Oh, the air I breath. The eyes to see, the ears to hear, and legs to walk.

So, many things! Thanks for reminding me of the gifts, I have today including gather.com

I actually just spent almost a week without my PC. I was a mess! Not only did I miss being here, but I work and so to school from home, so it was a big problem!

I was anxious and lost. You should have seen me when it got back up and running, I was like a kid on Christmas day! I actually hugged my CPU!

I wouldn't have made it without my DBF, he tried to entertain me;)

I think I'm pretty simple. I couldn't live without air, sustenance, rudimentary shelter & Jesus. I prefer to have my wife, children, grand baby, creature comforts, etc. around. But I can live with basic necessities. Been there, done it.
Cynthia W. Sep 11, 2007, 4:42pm EDT
Love :)
my family and the computer.

I think sometimes what it would be like if I never had my three sons. And the thought of not knowing the three fine men that God blessed me to bring into this world is unthinkable.

And since I love to be clean I couldn't live without running water and my washing machine...
