The first person to respond will then announce a "Topic" for discussion*. It can be as unclear, ambiguous and vague as you'd like it. Being of interest to the masses is a plus!


Remember the "Topic" you choose can be in any form. One or several words or phrase form. Please highlight your choice of topic in some manner.

* No politics or other ugly topics please.


Thanks to all for your contributions, large or small!

Big heavy picture tube tvs, compared to much lighter weight flat screens these days.

Thanks WW! Good topic! I love the ways things are going ...lighter and more reliable. I have an LCD monitor and the kids got a 42" LCD for Christmas. I still have 3 CRT sets.

The thing I hate is the TV's that go all wonky when you look at them from an angle instead of straight on. Hurts my eyes.

We still have three tube TVs in our house.

They likely won't be replaced until they die, that's the way things work around our house. Up until 2011 we still had a CRT computer monitor!

That's about the same time I got my first flat screen monitor.

I bought a huge Toshiba from a friend as our last TV in Michigan that lasted years and when we moved we left it with the rental house because it weighed 1950 pounds...Not worth the hernia....it worked great but.....
