Re: Seven

Show all headers | View raw

I was a grown man, married and the eldest one in a crib in her room all 
Winnie The Pooh decorated with her smearing her "play dough" all over 
everything she could reach.  Herself included.  The wife fell asleep 
watching a show, the baby was too quiet yaknow?  I went in to check on her 
and found the new all yellow-brown paint job on everything.   Sigh.  Can't 
leave a baby in THAT.   Took two hours to clean and change everything.   I 
moved the crib and Clorox'ed the entire wall and crib.  Sat with Heather on 
my chest and watched some Sci-Fi oldie that was on.   The thing about cable 
that really did surprise me was there was no fine-tuning anything.   Once ya 
hook up and have a picture, its good to go.   The quality and clarity was 
shockingly good.   I recall thinking yeah that's  sure worth it!  but it was 
only like $50 a month back then.   Now, well, my sis and BiL are paying like 
$250 a month for DISH's stuff.   Package deal.  And 3 receivers.   My "total 
communications" is AT&T, unlimited everything, pay as I go, $65 + taxes = 
$71.66 a month.   And I can stream movies all day long if I want! 
Sometimes, though rarely, there are slow-downs.  But hey, this is my CELL 
PHONE man!  And its faster than DSL here!  LOL!
