Electronic stuff. I don't buy the latest gadgets. I still have the original cell phone I bought 6 years ago.
It went through the wash about a week ago (forgot to take it out of my pants pocket) and I had put the wash through an extra rinse cycle, since the clothes were especially dirty.
Well, the phone didn't work right after that, so I took it to Verizon where I had originally bought it. They took one look at it and at me and said that they can't help me, because my phone is too old. They don't carry any parts for it. They consider any phone over two years old as outdated and won't have parts. The employees were kind enough to direct me to a company online and I was able to get the replacemant part I needed.
I have friends that buy a new computer every other year and also purchase whatever new gimmicky gadget comes out. Fortunately for us, they have given us an "old" computer and it works just fine for me. Most other gadgets they offer us, (because it is old and they are upgrading) we decline. Thanks but no thanks, we don't need another something that uses electricity to function and that we probably have no use for anyway.
People seem to think we are deprived, because we don't play xbox or whatever. They don't realize that we are too busy to play those games. We actually have a gameboy (it was my stepson's), but we rather go outside and watch our chickens or go fishing or make something out of stuff we have that we can then use on our farm.
I occasionally play a game on the computer and we watch videos. But weeks can go by where we don't watch any movies, or if we do, we fall asleep in the middle of it and miss the ending. That's what happens, when you do good honest work out in the fresh air.
