I GOT CABLE ONE DAY AND I WAS TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING TO WATCH AND I
WATCHED MTV FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS THEN I GOT A BOWLING BALL AND THREW IT
THROUGH THE SCREEN AND TOOK THE BOWLING BALL AND BROKE THE CIRCUIT
BOARD AND BROKE THE CABINET. I CALLED MY CABLE COMPANY AND TOLD THEM
THAT I AM CANCELING SERVICE AND THEY ASKED ME WHY I AM CANCELLING AND
I TOLD THEM THAT I HAD BETTER NOT RECEIVE ANOTHER BILL FROM THEM. I
FILLED UP THE SPACE WHERE MY TV ONCE UP WITH OREOS AND TWINKIES.

THEN ONE DAY I WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A GALLON OF VANILLA ICE
CREAM AND I GOT A KNOCK ON THE DOOR. I OPENED IT AND IT WAS A BUNCH
OF
TEENAGERS. I THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE MORMONS BUT THEY SAID THAT THEY
WERE FROM DISH NETWORK AND THEY WANTED TO OFFER ME SATELLITE TV.


I TOLD THEM TO HOLD ON A MINUTE WHILE I GET MY CHECKBOOK. I SHUT THE
DOOR AND TOOK A **** IN MY LEFT HAND AND I OPENED THE DOOR AND
PROPELLED A LOG OF DOOK IN ONE OF THE SALESMAN'S FACES AND I TOLD
THEM
THAT IF THEY CAME BACK I WAS GOING TO KICK THEIR ASSES.

You don't have to SHOUT about it.

ALL CAPS is considered to be shouting - very rude. It is also MUCH harder to
read. Which is why I haven't a clue what you said. I'm not going to waste my
time giving myself a headache trying to muddle through the mess you posted.

Getting rid of the teevee is worth shouting about.

I got rid of my teevee maybe 15 years ago and never missed it...
though I had a hard time cancelling the cable TV...
they *absolutely* did not believe me when I told them I got rid of it.

The only way I could get them to "shutup already" was to lie to them and
tell them I got divorced
and the "ex" took iit when she left.

The only time my GF and I will watch TV is if we go on a vacation and stay
at a hotel or motel...
we get sick of it real fast.


Without a TV it's amazing how much I can do and learn...

My TV is usually on if I'm home - since I'm single, it keeps me company <g>!
But I usually have it tuned to the History or Discovery channels. I did
recently switch to Dish Network from cable, and lost my National Geographic
channel, but I'm saving over $40 a month (between cable/Internet and
Dish/DSL).

for the teacher in me...

Even though most of teevee is junk...there still is a lot of good stuff
too...
such as the History channel etc...

but i HAD to get rid of it because I was addicted!!!!

Yeah - that's why I switched. I called three times in the last year to tell
them I had to find a way to cut the expenses, and they wouldn't work with
me. Then they were upset when I left, offering me a really great deal for
the next 12 months. Yeah, right. Why couldn't they do that BEFORE I left???

hours at the office
