As my father -in-law used to say, “500 channels and nothing worth watching”
You know, Packs, we got to the point where the steady increases in our monthly cable bill weren't adding up. They weren't adding up to better services, to more channels, to better options, nothing, just a few dollars here, and a few dollars there, and we reached our end.
Not really since we help each other with whatever needs doing. Some examples.Are you only any good at those things your wife is less good at, or are there areas of your life where both are equally adept, for example the operation of a TV remote? (/hoofer roofer, The zapper, The flipper, or tv remote control.!)
Well the definition of a mistress, is someone between a mister and a mattress, so Gary, you're halfway there.
We never had a TV for the first thirty years of our marriage. It was only when my mother-in-law became old, she still liked to visit, but missed her daytime soap operas. I wouldn't want my wife to miss seeing her mother, so we got a TV.
You're not suggesting our forum friend has a mistress though, let's just be clear about that, lucky lady though she'd be of course!
Well suited in every way then.

Whoever is the most interested in watching something on TV gets the remote. Saturday morning my wife watches her quilt and sewing programs, so she has control of the remote. Saturday night I watch Svengoolie so the remote's mine.A very good boss of mine once repeated the line, "One man in a hundred is a leader of men, the other ninety nine are followers of women", (so that's 99% of you/us ruled out!).
Do we expect to largely rule what happens in our own homes these days, "who has charge of the tv remote control in your house",(the ultimate test.
On my one trip to the USA I met a wonderful middle aged couple who were speculating as to whether their marriage would survive their holiday trip.
What do you do when your favourite sports programme clashes with the sewing and quilting slot?
I don't watch sports, plus the only program I might be interested in on Saturday mornings would be "Dirty Jobs", except that I've viewed all the episodes several times.
We have three cats, the smallest of which is both cocky and confident. Tell her not to do something, nag her in any way and she will walk away with a flick of her tail that, I swear, is feline for: "Up your's!"
We're definitely going to be trying the antennae idea when the time comes, Bonnie, along with a few other things, but all-in-all I believe we'll be more than satisfied with being able to watch all sorts of YouTube content, as well as movies, DVD's, and whatever else strikes our fancy, and if history has remained the same, we'll get to enjoy one or two free news stations.
Awww... she looks like such a sweetheart, Tom!I live alone with my dog Rosie. She rules the house.View attachment 170619
Bonnie; I can get all the TV channels I want. My only problem is I need the Internet, so I found it cheaper to buy Comcast's bundle TV, Internet & phone. As Dish & other satellites internet providers don't work well here very slow & when a dark cloud & rain S/W of me there is no internet from 10 minutes to 3 hrs. I've tried them all.
