Robin! I'm sorry I was a sickyhead! I wanted to see you even if it was against better judgment.

I'm not a big chinese food fan nor am I generally a fan of buffet-syle... but yes, the company was wonderful. Thanks for the invite.

Cindy, we actually don't have cable or satellite. I'm just teasing sara.

Cindy, we actually don't have cable or satellite.

Kat, I was gonna say!

Ha! we are cable free. I don't mind only having broadcast stations.

I knew you were teasing. I was just sort of amazed how well it worked. Scott picked up the antenna at Circuit City, and it really does nicely. We've been cablefied for so long, we forgot it wasn't a necessity here -- not even a TV necessity.

You've been sick, Kat? Are you better now? Sick sick or pregnancy sick?

I have two sets of rabbit-ears connected to separate VCRs! One is set up to best receive ABC, FOX, and CW and the other is set up for NBC and CBS.

ION, looks like the blizzard they've been warning us about is starting.

Kat, you can't say anything to my DH who keeps insisting that we can cut our cable and live.

I'm not willing to take that chance.

Ooh, yay. I've been waiting all day.

Cashmere, you need to explain to him that although you might live, he'll be coming home to you, after you've been home all day with two toddlers, and there's a strong possibility he won't see morning, if he cuts your cable.

There's got to be an actuarial table to back me up on that, somewhere.

I'm not willing to take that chance.

Hee. The SO has cut way back on his tv consumption, especially since we didn't get the hockey package this year. So it's all me now, and every once in a while he makes that sort of noise. But I dunno.

We used to live so far out that you couldn't get an antenna signal, but I'd forgotten that now that I'm here I probably can. I wonder what I'd get? I should get a tuner and an antenna for the lcd monitor in the office. Ha. Then I'd never get anything done. I'd have the teevee for when the internets ran out.

Ah! Sarameg with her adorable luddite-rabbit ears!

You know what makes it even funnier? The aluminum foil hanging from them! I don't mind the teasing. I find my weird ludditeness over things kinda bemusing and amusing.

I just can't bring myself to pay for cable. It's not even so much about being cheap as it is I am content with broadcast. Sure, there may be better stuff on cable, but I don't desire any more tv.

And c'mon, I come from a people who tore down the antenna in a fit of rage when it got in the way of pruning the octillo! Without the antenna, they get nothing out where they live.

Every so often, I'm tempted to upgrade from dialup, even. But then I start to load a slow page or download a song...and I go out for a nasty little snack. There's an apathy there...
