Technical difficulties.
Being ...I'll try again. Technical difficulties.<br />Being a country late daughter of old parents who were themselves late children of old parents, I have lived the "pre-" version of some of these things. Yes, peasants did spend hours chasing roaches, mice, and other pests (like FLIES)around the cabin. Air conditioning is a great wonder, but being hot is nothing compared to trying to heat your house from scratch with a wood fire every day.<br />Indoor toilets are definitely a good thing. Both sets of my grandparents had them put in the same year when I was 10.<br />I will quibble on peaceful deaths and showers. I love showers, but many people were not disgusting before them. It just took more effort. Most important,there may be more painkillers now, but a peaceful death is more a spiritual matter than a physical one, no matter how young or old one dies.<br />Last, you left out my personal "life is so much better now" favorite: modern dentistry.<br />Thanks for reminding me to be thankful, Nick.<br /><br />Love, <br />Mada's momRomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16504755463195047246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480511620442233365.post-50160696725939731162010-11-23T21:52:22.732-06:002010-11-23T21:52:22.732-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Romahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16504755463195047246noreply@blogger.com
