That's one of the reasons for getting TIVO.

Sasman, I was channel surfing the other day and ran across Oprah raving about TIVO. She likes it so much she gave one to every member of the studio audience. Guess that's one of my next purchases.

Kalekona, Do you live in Port Townsend? Me too! If you are talking about Aldridges burning down, did you also know that Abundant Life seed foundation had their offices and storage rooms in there? All the seeds and future generation are destroyed.
(For those not knowing, Abundant Life is a non-profit agency which propigates and sells seeds which are endangered, heirloom, non-hybred and the like from all around the world).
You are right, it is a terrible loss.

Laisey, and if you have directv you can get a single unit that has the directv receiver with TIVO built in. It is about $200 and can be ordered from directv.com.

I want to complain that I ate too much Chex Party Mix with extra garlic and now I have indigestion.
Oooooo.
Or maybe it is from hearing Dana and her loud griping and threatening comments.

Oh Laisey DO IT...I have Direct TV and it is the BOMB. It ends up being much cheaper than cable and ALL the channels are digital quality not just a few. Go to DirectTV.com and print out the channel list. Not long ago they were doing a new customer offer for free installation and 2 room recievers and dish. Awesome deal, I'd see if they have it in your corner of the world. Where is that anyways? Seems I should know that but I know no clue lol.

I am dying for Tivo and can't wait till the damn economy is better again so I can afford one...I am sooooo tired of not being able to buy the new toys I would like. Shopping is my favorite sport.

So, to stay on topic, I guess I'd like to complain about the damn economy, my shopping addiction being effected, and Laisey not having Direct TV lol

Laisey, okay. I want to complain about how bad the cable is in my area. They raise prices every few months. Then they try get us to switch to their digital service which naturally costs you a whole lot more than that other thingy you don't want me to mention again.

Sasman, my cable company sucks, too. They raise our rates nearly twice a year and say it's because they're giving us a few new channels. Unfortunately, they're channels that nobody wants. Then when we get the new channels we didn't want and won't watch, we have to reprogram all of our electronics stuff.

So I guess my complaint is about my cable company. But I'd also like to complain that I can't afford Tivo right now.

I had to increase my font on my web browser because the message area here suddenly changed last night when everyone starting playing that "fences" game. (some may have resized their computer screen and do not notice this change) Now when I go to other web sites the print sizes are so huge I have to switch back and forth.

I'm complaining that BB (well, this board to be more accurate) isn't giving me enough time to think about anything. But September will soon be here and then . . . .

Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 02:04 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
LOL either would be wonderful around now! The hurricane might kill me though...what's say we start with the Bellini?! But ONLY if it's with fresh peaches otherwise I'm in for a Hurricane :)

I was only planning to stop at the store for bread on the way home. Now I it looks like I have to stop at the liquor store as well.

Being separated seems to agree with me. It's not drinking alone if I have you guys, is it?

(I barely drink, no problem here, not to worry)

I want to complain that my feeds have been jerky and jumpy and freezing all day. Now I keep getting black & white images....anyone else getting this, or is my computer screwy?

Thanks

Now I want to complain that I'll be going home from work in the rain....

but it's worth it to see BB along with the rest of the world.

Now please don't rain from 6-7 and then stop, PLEASE!

Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 02:47 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I'd like to complain that I can't answer Mrose because unlike past BB's I haven't turned on the feeds all day. I do have my Real open though...the songs I'm playing sound awesome LOL.
