D@MN! "when it rains?..it pours!"

That's a bummer, dude.

I have a pretty cavalier attitude about T.V. I can pretty much take it or leave it. Grew up without a T.V. because of my old man's whacko puritanistic religious nutball attitudes about it. When I left home at 17, I bought a T.V. and became addicted. I was planning my life around it, ergo, "We can't go out on Thursday at 7:00 because 'Cheers' is on!" That kind of thing about ever night of the week.

After six months of that, I realized what was going on. Got rid of THAT T.V. (same whacko nutbal reasons as my old man) and didn't have another one for a long time.

About 9 years ago, we bought a T.V. which we were using strictly to watch DVD's. Then in August, we finally got CableOne. Mostly for their internet access (Cable IS faster than DSL, btw!) but I've discovered that I no longer have a whole lot of interest in T.V. any more.

Cool! I do a lot of other things!

I sincerely hope nobody else on here is so addicted to T.V. they will have withdrawals from losing it!

Unfortunately my contract has me up in Alpharetta, GA (Just North of Atlanta) and it looks like I will be here for at least a year.  However, I will give you a heads up when I head back home with the bike (going for a ride today, heading to the mountains.... can't say that in FL unless you are going to the dump).   Heck, you're like 10 miles away....

Atlanta?!....You lucky dawg!....My Kingdom For A Curve!

I forgot my stupid smiley to show my joking attitude about it! Sorry.

In all actuality, my old man cut us off from the real world by tossing the T.V. I still have trouble dealing with people in the real world to this day. Not saying that was THE problem but T.V. has it's place, even in the world today.
