Things we take for granted

Health, I know it’s already been mentioned.

My wife’s baby sister has ALS. 37 years old with a five year old boy and she’s going down fast. It’s heartbreaking.

I have lived without electricity for a month or 2 at a time and the thing most missed was refrigeration. No freezer over the long term changes your life.

Certainly puts it in perspective even when you lose power for a few days. Lot of money over 3 freezers here.

Generac whole home generator. Best 8k I ever spent. I literally lose nothing during an outage. All the things previously mentioned like a/c, refrigeration, freezers, and lights continue working

This was my answer as well

I took my Mom’s prayers for granted. When she passed I ask my aunts(Mom’s sister’s) who’s going to pray for me. They looked at each other and reassured me that they had it taken care of!

Having superb grand children and even better when they pick their mates for life and then the neatest great grand child one could have appears.

AC is still the single biggest improvement we take for granted, imo .

There’s some amazing research out there that backs this up. I can’t remember the exact numbers, but there’s a direct correlation between job performance and temperature. Quite simply the hotter it gets the worse the performance is, and if I remember right it starts to be clear around 78 F.

Never knowing hunger and being able to pick anything from the thousands of items at the grocery store or restaurant that tickles your fancy on any given day.

Connected to this… refrigeration. I was at the antique store in Wallace the other day, and they had all sorts of equipment from an ice delivery service. It’s crazy to think this was happening around a hundred years ago.
