Glad I still have my fax machine.”””

I live rural. My neighbors depend on MY fax machine more than I do. But I won’t let it go. Too useful.

I have a stockpile of incadescent bulbs—and they only cost me about 40 cents each....not 4 times that.

I still drive a truck with a Granny low 4 speed I won’t give it up. Don’t care about the low mileage-—costs me much less than truck payments-—registration-—& insurance. It is paid for. It is easy to fix.

Privacy-—don’t get on ANY social media websites. Biggest website I use is right here. Gates all say NO TRESPASSING—which means something where I live.

Still have plenty of things to mail. Won’t do online banking EVER.

Don’t use a cell phone. Land line only. Have driven over 1 million miles in my lifetime without a cell phone. Will make it to the end of my days.....

BRAVO; we live in exurbia, but except for a truck, I'm right there with ya!

I have a cell phone, but it is almost ALWAYS turned completely off. We need it when there is a power outage and the REAL phone is out. Otherwise, I only use a landline.

I bet that there are many people like us, out there.
