I have spent the last three weeks in bed and have three more to go. It's a good thing we have a comfortable couch so I don't have to live in the bedroom. That old blue couch is falling apart, but comfort wins out on looks every time.
A 62 inch HD TV with TiVo is also a mind saver. I bought a bunch of books and Dan & Barbara sent me a bunch of magazine (thanks guys), but you can only read for so long. The pain and pain pills makes it hard to concentrate, so despite my promises to myself I am becoming a real TV addict. At least I was, until the TV broke. And as things always go the day after the 62-incher went out, the TV in my bedroom broke. These things always come in threes, I'm wondering what's next.
The TV in the bedroom is older than the hills and is done, but the 62-incher is a different story. Tania got out the warranty information and low and behold the warranty expired two days ago. That's right TWO FREAK'N DAYS AGO. We called them anyways hoping someone would be nice. The good news was that we were in a grace period and could extend the warranty for $400. It will take three days for the new warranty to process then we can call to set up a date for them to fix it.
Okay, knowing that it will likely take a few weeks to get that set fixed it was now time to think of what to do about the old 32-inch GE in the bedroom. I found out that today, if you want a TV bigger than 27-inches you have to go with HD or plasma - no cheepies. So I got the coin out and flipped it to see if we were getting a new TV for the bedroom or Christmas presents for the kids. Christmas won.
We have 25-inch Sony in the office that Crystal uses for video games and a 20-incher in the extra bedroom. So after a little shuffling around (thanks to my brother in-law, Alex), I now have the Sony in my room and Crystal's gaming is down gradeda to a 20-incher and Drew won't have TV the next time visits.
So I have a small screen, no HD and have to suffer through commercials and watch whatever happens to be on at time, at least I have something to watch.

Once you get your TV back you have to rent Curb your Enthusiasm and Dexter. I am obsessed with them right now. Hey can you get bed sores?
I move around too much to get bed sores. I'm not inmoble.
I have never watched Curb your Enthusiasm or Dexter. I'll have to check them out. Isn't Dexter a cartoon?
It sounds like our life just a few years ago...No HD TV or Tivo. I wonder what kind of TV will be watching in five years from now?
Dextor's laboratory is a cartoon. Dextor is a showtime or HBO show. I have never seen it because we don't have paid stations...But I think you can rent it.
I am sure the girls are happy they won the toss!
Buy the TV of choice from Wal Mart and return it before 90 days.
LOL, Aaron, you are such the scammer. Does that work will electronics? I just may have to try it because the TV I stole from Crystal is now starting to go bad. The colors start flashing on and off about twice a day for 5 or 6 minutes.
