Fall Is In The Air! What Does That Mean? FOOTBALL SEASON
I just hate it! To make matters worse hubby is home on sick
leave due to his own football injury tossing the dogs toy
football and trying to beat the dog across the yard for it,
needless to say those groin muscles will be out of commission
for a while. Lying around with his ice bag the first day
watching soaps with me was enough to make him nuts! Then day two
at 2:00 pm, time for "The Young and The Restless" he hides the
stupid remote! I'm going insane tearing the house apart... this
is my favorite soap!! He can't do this to me!!
The whole time I'm going nuts looking for the remote, he is
rattling off comparisons in the prices of our cable T.V. to that
new Dish Network Satellite Program. I ask him where the remote
is, he doesn't know and he proceeds to tell me that with the
Satellite you get:
FREE TiVo/DVR, record/playback 100 hours- no monthly fee!
Free HDTV equipment with 6 months of up to 7 channels of crystal
clear HDTV.
100% digital channels, (Like I care what all this stuff is! I
want the damned remote!)
Multi-channel viewing Local Sports Programming,
ESPN Game day
NHL on the Ice,
NBA league Pass,
With over 220 channels compared to about 90 on the cable T.V.
Over 80 pay-per-view movies, compared to only 40 on cable.
25 Movie channels FREE for 3 months,
$21.33 for the first 3 months
PLUS as a FREE gift a DVD player.
I sit there and glare at him, yeh; yeh is this suppose to mean
something to me??? Like I really care!! Those Mob guys have
probably already shot Nicky and all he can talk about is
changing T.V. companies!! Hello! I'm missing my soap...where's
the remote? Please give me the remote!! All of a sudden the room
lights up, my ears open and what he is saying begins to sink in!
(Music to my ears!) There is no charge for up to 4 additional
T.V. hook ups, and the percentage of outages is only 1% compared
to 3-5% on cable, my heads starts spinning! I think I'm going to
faint!! I can have my own T.V with my own remote. And watch my
soaps with less interruptions and my sweetie can sit back and
take it easy and watch all the darned football he wants! Besides
that, with him not working we really need something cheaper.
When you think about $31.99 a month for all this with a $49.99
activation fee that is credited back to you on your first bill,
compared to $69.99 per month we are paying for cable you just
can't beat it! Not to mention we can have it installed for free
in as little as 24 hours. What a deal!!
"Sure honey" I say, "lets go for it, let me get you some more
ice!" I picked up the ice bag and low and behold there's the
remote!! "JERK!"
