I have carried water every day for seven years. That is, I don't have running water in my house, a thing most people consider "going backward". In fact, most people think I'm crazy to live this way, so I rarely talk about it. I guess I'm just saying that it is possible to live with pre-modern conditions with no feeling of lack or want or wishing it were otherwise. Frankly, I am grateful that there is water here at all.
I am all for lightening our burdens when possible.

Accepted.
We are all here to help each other. I may have sounded like im complaining but am really expressing the anguish I felt every time I saw my most cherished Grandfather and Grandmother come in from a long hard days work. Id have done anything short of murder to ease their load and this post just reminded me so strongly of them.
Please accept my appologies if I sounded harsh or whiney. I use an old wringer washer. I prefer it, it works so much better. People look at me the same way you described when I do share. You get no judgement from me, only a hope for an easier way if you choose. Peace to you my friend.
