A picture is worth a thousand words.



Just made the switch to high def (1080p). I got a new HD box from my cable company and the pictures look pretty sweet. Now I'm waiting for an HDMI cable I purchased on-line to connect my PS3 in order to get the best reception. They (PC Richards) wanted to sell me an HDMI cable for $80. lol I wasn't born yesterday. They can keep it. I got one off ebay for $20 plus shipping. Not the cheapest but a nice quality one for a decent price. Can't wait for that either.

That should make you happy for MANY days EM.

I'm sure it will. For one it's a 40". The largest tv I ever had was a 32" flat panel. So that right there is a plus. The large screens back in the day looked like crap so I didn't bother purchasing them just for size. On top of that its a high def tv and the picture is crystal. It's pretty awesome. Thanks.

What's making me happy is high carb day.

It's Friday, my favorite day of the week. : )

Thanks for the tip Kai, will do.

One more thing to be happy about today. 3 day weekend. Working for a University sure has it's benefits. Two words.... SNOW DAY!!!

At the moment?  Simply nothing except sth that's absolutely impossible...

I'm happy because when my older son found out that his little bro was coming from Illinois to hook up my Easy Share Digital picture frame until the weather turned bad, he volunteered to come out and do it.  Now it's all set and I can remotely control it.  He didn't realize that it needed setting up.

He thought I had done it.  What a laugh!

And we went out for a nice buffet lunch.

Not much is making me happy just now. I got a loveseat stuck in the doorway of my son's ex-room trying to be a bigshot & drag it to the front room myself. I have to climb over the sofa to get to the computer & every time I do it reminds me what a schmegeggie I am for even trying to move the thing myself. MY cousin is coming to help me get it unstuck tomorrow. Aargh.

That my mom is okay.

She hit a patch of ice getting off a ramp on the highway. Then her car hit a light pole, knocking it over, then crashed down a steep embankment near the river.

Well bless her heart... how scary!  That's wonderful that she's OK.

Tell her Kathy said "Hey!"

Merd, a piece of bad luck with the car but good luck with the body.  She's a very lucky woman all around, including having a son who loves her.  Give her a big hug, but maybe not for a few days. She must be pretty sore.

Thanks, you guys. She was really lucky.


We all made sure to do that.

Wow, DL!  I'm glad your mum is okay!!!  However, that pole will never see the light of night again....that's a poor attempt at some enlightening humor.  *sigh*

Two movies I've been waiting to see opened today... In Bruges, and Penelope.

But we got a fair amount of snow overnight, and even though I'm sure the main roads are clear, there's no sense in taking a chance.   So I'm shooting for tomorrow.

D.Y. finally added me as friend
