My hubby loves television

by Mary Anne

When my hubby and I were talking about moving here from New England, we discussed what kind of television service we were going to get once we arrived.  We were very interested in getting some form of Satellite TV, because it has so many channels.  Shortly before we moved down here, I got an email from my brother, telling me that he thought we should get DirecTV, and he sent us the link on where to go to sign up. 

 

A few days later I got an email from my sister, telling me that she has DirectTV and loves it, and if I sign up for it too, would I please tell them that she referred me so that she could get some kind of credit?  I think it was a $25 credit for referrals, but I can’t remember off the top of my head.  I tried to get some kind of bundle where I would get my telephone, internet and Direct TV all rolled into one package deal, but the Internet part of the package deal was not available in the area that I was moving to.

 

When we finally DID move down here, my hubby splurged on a wide screen television.  I had a fit when I found out he bought it because it cost so much money, but I have to admit that I DO like the large screen, especially when we watch movies on it!

 


What a schmuck

by Mary Anne

What do you call an elitist calling someone else an elitist?  I don’t know about you, but I’d call him a schmuck.  I think it is so very funny that David Brooks, the New York Times columnist went on MSNBC Live and said that Barack Obama wouldn’t fit in at an Applebee’s salad bar.  When I heard that he said that I roared with laughter.  Applebee’s happens to be one of my favorite restaurants, and I’ve never seen a salad bar in it!  And to be honest, I would not be surprised to see Barack Obama in an Applebee’s restaurant!  I haven’t read yesterday’s paper yet, but my son told me that he read an article in it that Barack Obama has in fact had meetings in Applebees!  What a riot!  I think David Brooks should take a closer look at just how elitist he himself is before he starts “insulting” people with that term!


Day to myself

by Mary Anne

Today I came home early from work to have lunch with my hubby and son.  I arrived home just in time to say goodbye to them as they were walking out the door to go to the movies!  I was surprised that they were going today, but that’s ok by me, it gives me some extra time to myself!  I hope they have a great time, and I’m glad they aren’t dragging me to the movie with them!
