I'd ditch cable pretty quick except of the very few shows I do watch, several are on Bravo...and....the rest of the family would likely revolt.
I watch very little TV....just not much on I care to watch anymore. I have a hard time figuring out with so many channels, how it is, there is so little I want to watch.... Besides that, being on CD is often more entertaining anyway
Another overcast, gloomy day so far....which is my kind of day...
Might do the minimum today then curl up with a book for the rest of the day.....

Okay, Bravo was the hardest for me to give up. And they don't put their shows online!
We have an older computer hooked up to the t.v. in the basement. So we watch a lot through Hulu. And we can stream Netflix down there as well. So after the two week withdrawls from Bravo, there isn't much I miss.
The HD quality when watching over the air t.v. is shocking.
See...we only have one computer so, if we streamed anything it would have to be on the monitor....blech. We did the free month of Netflix online (through the XBox) but the selection was so limited it really wasn't going to be worth the $8/month for us. Most of the movies available were stuff we'd already seen or had never heard of. Mostly the latter. And we don't watch enough movies to join the "regular" Netflix either. We can run to any one of a multitude of Redbox locations and get a movie for $1...the thing I do miss is being able to find older movies from time to time. I will miss when Blockbuster finally closes it's doors for that kind of thing.
It's great that schools offer a variety of things for kids....but it gets annoying when people start listing their child's accomplishments as some sort of "proof" about how much better their kids are than yours or everyone else's. They really aren't. They may be different but they're not necessarily "better"....That attitude really really bothers me. I see lots of it - starting early in elementary schools. Like someone earlier said..the "mompetitors"...whether in school, in sports, in whatever....it's like these parents see it as some sort of validation to their parenting skills....
I want to get rid of cable too. Like mm, I can't understand how there isn't anything to watch on 300 channels including all premiums.
I'm supposed to have the $99 bundle but my bill is over $200 a month. It just doesn't make sense. Nothing to watch.
You know why I can't get rid of it? Hubby. He sits on the sofa with the remote. Then there is the sports issue. How will he watch sports games? Particularly football and hockey?
OMG Hopes - is that just for TV? I have mine all bundled - TV (no premium channels - but we do have digital), internet and phone (with unlimited long distance) for about $150/mo.

It's a TV/internet/phone bundle with all premium channels. I splurged and added the premium channels for while hubby was recovering from surgery. Still nothing to watch.
