LUXURY!

I'd think punishment!

Microwave was a luxury when I was young. So was color TV.

Electricity was a luxury. Indoor plumbing was a luxury. Metal tools were a luxury. Time moves on.

I remember my first trip to boy scout camp and my first experience with an outhouse. There was a sears catalog hanging on a wire.

Start crinkling the page when yiu sit down, get it softened up. Been there, done that

My definition of luxury item is something you don't need. Artwork is a luxury. A microwave is not.

In my original post I said luxury item wasn’t the correct word but I didn’t know a better word. I guess I meant an item you don’t absolutely need to live but it sure makes your life better.

Well, this is funny.... but true. I've always said that food, clothing and shelter are all you need and everything else is icing on the cake.

In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a luxury item is anything not reasonably necessary for the support and maintenance of the debtor and their dependents, such as expensive jewelry, luxury cars, vacations, and high-end electronics. The key distinction is between necessities (like basic groceries, a primary vehicle, or a necessary medical procedure) and extravagances (like a second home, designer clothing, or cosmetic surgery). Luxury items are often considered non-exempt assets that a trustee can sell to pay creditors.

Oooo, the Sears Wish Book at Christmas would make lousy TP.... it was all glossy print.

I've been in a few outhouses that had phonebooks on a hook. At least that wouldn't be like a brillo pad.

Young child, I will teach you something very important... the pinecone only works one way.

The Blackfeet I believe.

Wasn't it the Stinky Finger tribe?
Maybe the Brown Finger?

I'm guessing it was Carl down at the trailer park.

"The Big Pine Band of Owens Valley Paiute Shoshone Indians is a federally recognized tribe."

Like the hunter who needed toilet paper while out in the woods:

"...We didn't bring TP...just use a dollar bill..."

"...Hmmmm...does anybody have change for a $20...?

Must have been a messy the squirt to need 20 $1s.

I feel your pain. My first luxury item after I got divorced was any kind of meat that didn't have bologna mixed in with it.

I bought my first house with a window air conditioner. I thought I had it made, never had air conditioning before that.

That's another thing my parents got after I moved out!

The first house my wife and I bought had central air. Man I thought that was great! She had it since she was a kid, so was not impressed.
