Ignoring the nail and hair salon choices, I'd absolutely ditch the telephone before Internet or cable television. I barely am willing to have a telephone now. Talking on the telephone sucks. Watching television, and chatting on the Internet are actually fun.
I would love to be able to ditch my phone - I really don't like talking on it.. However, up here we're in a "dead zone" (no cell phone serivce - and I don't have one anyhow), so I have to keep it for emergencies..
Giving up the cable wouldn't be too bad - because I've found there are lots of shows I can catch on the internet - and of course there's always VHS tapes and DVD's..
