thats why both PBS' have like 4 channels... i was watching the create channel for the college's pbs earlier today.

news in HD is great...

watching it rain in HD at a football is amazing... i can still see blades of grass

Discovery has four HD channels available, but stupid TW doesn't have them:mad:

If you get UHD (Universal HD), I suggest episodes of Northern Exposure. If you watched when it was on the initially, you are in for a visual treat. If you haven't seen this before, you are in for a treat: great stories, great characters.

I'm on broadcast right now...

We have 2 HD tvs in the house... Mine and my sisters...

the living room and mom's room are standard deph still... (my sister and 1 paid half for ours... though i got the antenna thrown in.. lol)

We also have dish network, and have to get around to doing a bunch of rewireing the house to do this right... 1 HD reciever for 2 TVs... and 1 standard for 2 tvs

all on oposite ends of the house.. lots of planning and waiting for a deal from dish, till then broadcast is not that bad.

Be glad you don't live in a condo (or apartment). The logistics are a nightmare (I gave up and went with cable even though they had the least amount of high def)..

Cruising the LoT is a PITA when you are concurrently DL'ing a 780 MB file. Even with a T1 pipe.

its an 80s home with concrete brick... about 30-40 miles away from the tower farms. (though 1 tower is about 15 miles away...)

I'm using an amplified antenna and still don't get the signals for the upper frequencies.

If my MIL winds up on insulin, it's her own frikken fault. I swear, ever since the doc told her she had type two diabetes she's gotten worse with the sugar and crap. Right now, she's eating a bowl of Dryers chocolate ice cream, but tells me 'she's been good'. Riiight. She thinks 'Sugar in the Raw' is dietetic- I had to enlighten her that it's still sugar. Wouldn't be so bad, except she gets weird when her counts off and I bear the brunt of it. We made brownies last week; the first time in three months. She ate the majority of them, then bragged about how good she was doing. Tori only had two, Eric one, and the rest just magically disappeared. Judas priest- the woman has zip willpower.:rolleyes:

I know it's totally serious WB, but I have to laugh, like your MIL, I also have no will power! She needs to get a grip though, this is nothing to mess about with. I had a co-worker who was a total choco-sugar addict, was diagnosed and continued on binges and ended up in pretty bad shape.

It's official, I've written my last holiday card, all tonight's batch to the tunes of Mary Poppins. It was on the tube, I left it on and listened as I wrote, a wonderful experience. I need to sit down and watch it again, it's been far too long. Those Sherman Brothers could write some tunes, I'll be driving myself crazy for the next 24 hours with the Mary Poppins greatest hits playing in my head.

Can I scream now? Or maybe just weep a little?

My brain is full. I do not care whether the buyer can repudiate the contract. I do not care whether FirstBank can sue BFP Smith for replevin. I do not care whether the bankruptcy trustee, FirstBank, SecondBank, or defaulter's next-door neighbor has priority over the oven. I do not care what the seller's damages are under the contract/market remedy provided by Article 2. I do not care whether the buyer has a claim against the seller for consequential damages, or whether the seller's best defense is statute of limitation, privity, or lack of timely notice. I do not care whether the term enters the contract, falls out of the contract, or is replaced by an Article 2 gap-filler.

I hope to acquire some degree of caring by Saturday. Or a clue. Actually, I'd rather have the clue than the caring. Caring leads to disappointment, and clue leads to the grade I desperately want.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
