Well, so far I suck as a Blogger. Right after I started writing here one thing after another went wrong or broke down.

First, electric went out. Then, the TV broke, and I couldn't sit in the office and listen to the TV, I had to watch the TV in the bedroom. Thankfully, the TV decided to come back from the dead. We got our TV from a friend of ours that couldn't stand it's personality any longer. If you turn off the power, you really have to sweet talk it into coming back on. You have to plug it in and unplug it, keep hitting the power button, cross your fingers and sprinkle a little holy water on the screen, and maybe it'll come on. To get around actually turning it off, you have to change the video input. Make it think it's going to get a video game or something, but since there isn't anything hooked up to that video input channel the screen just goes black. That works fine, except the electric went off, and the TV decided it didn't want to come back on.

We were just about ready to start looking at new TVs, when my husband decided to try it one more time. I was glad it came back on, because he wanted to spend a lot of money on a great big monster TV. I thought we should spend less money and get a smaller TV, but just set it on the coffee table right in front of the couch. Then it would look like a big screen TV. Of course, if we had company over they would have to sit on our laps if they wanted to watch TV.
