“But it has 4 million pixels. That’s only 0.06 cents per pixel!”

I want a new metal roof and the house painted. That’s about 10 large screen TV’s worth.

I ended up getting a smaller screen TV because I was tired of moving my head to see the whole thing. A big screen is not good for a little room.

Remember those first big screen TV’s like the old box set only 10 times bigger with 3 or four projection color tubes aimed at the screen from behind? What a waste of time and money they were. Ours lasted maybe 3 years. The frame made out of pressed wood.

Cathy being the sensible one? What is this world coming to?? Ha.
Personally, I received a new, bigger TV this past Xmas, and it’s nice to have. It’s the perfect size for my home, too. Not a bad way to go.
HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, “Cathy” Clan.

When we moved into our current house 6 years ago we found a 50" projection TV that ‘came with the house’ (probably because it was too big and bulky to move and with a fuzzy picture to boot). Fortunately one of the movers wanted it so we were able to get rid of it at no cost.
My wife does not like it when I shop. I had to take my vehicle in to the dealer for a recall repair. The dealer just happens to be in the same town as my lighting supplier. I dropped my wife off at the mall, had the repair done at the dealer, then headed to see my dealer. My wife spent $100 at the mall, I purchased $3500 worth of special effect lighting. Yes, my wife does not like it when I shop.
Have a wonderful day today.

Things are reversed in our household. I’m the one who wants a bigger TV, while my husband doesn’t. Go figure.
