If you could only have one of these appliances (and no other), which would it be?

I said refrigerator because they are the coolest choice!

Fridge. definitely.

Can't live without music

You can make your own music, Ophelia, but can you keep milk from going sour on a hot July afternoon?

I chose refrigerator, since it would keep food items cold, like cheese for sandwiches, milk for cereal, and so on. I was looking for 'computer' on the list, and then realized that's not an appliance.

I would rather die that live without music!

Refrigerator, of course. Someone in Alaska can find it superfluous, but here is needed even in winter...

I would definitely have a washing machine. I had to wash my clothes by hand for a whole year and it sucks. I can sing, so I can pass on the radio, and having a wood burning (cast iron) stove would be really cool. Umm, living without the refrigerator would be tricky.. but hey, at least I would be fine in the winter.

Fridge cause I would love to BBQ my food on the hibachi :)

ugh... I wanted an oven *and* a refigerator. oven/stove is more important, though.

Well, since computer wasn't on the list, I'd say fridge. I like to keep a bunch of food around so I can stare at it while saying "I have nothing to eat..." Bill: because "frige" would be pronounced so oddly.

life without my cd player is boring.

oh stereo definitely! I know I would starve but I'd die happy! jen, why duh?

oh i love music and love to cook ... such a hard choice.

Why is it that "refrigerator" has no "d" in it, but "fridge" does?

Living without music would be hell.

Music, music, music. I would miss the cold beer, but that's life.

Eh?

stereo. that was easy! actually, i've been in this situation. i walked to the store when i needed food. but i can't live without music.

VERY tough choice, but I had to go with stove over stereo, since I can sing and whistle and stamp my feet, but it ain't gonna bake my bread. P.s. "Ain't" is in the dictionary, it appears, but "gonna" ain't.

I could get by without all but the refrigerator and stove. I chose refrigerator, but between the two, I am conflicted. *** Dahlia - a wood burning stove is still a stove, and you would then not be doing without one!

Hmmm...tossup between fridge and stove. If I had any other means of heating food, including an open fire outside, I would definitely pick fridge.

I'd say stove, because where I live, cooking with fire just wouldn't work all that well (though we do have a fireplace). And though shopping everyday for perishables is tedious, it's doable.

Refrigerator, because fresh food is difficult to keep with out one. I can cook food with out a stove/oven or microwave oven. I do not currently have a washer, I use a laundromat. I can live with out television, and I seldom listen to my cds, tapes or the radio. The refrigerator is the only one I use on a daily basis.

I'd be happier without a TV, and the food-related items I could live without by only a modest amount of rearranging my life (assuming nothing else were different about the world and I could still get Parmalat and so forth). Which brings it to washing machine or stereo, and there I think the stereo wins by a nose.

yay cold drinks..
