you can probably get an upgrade for the about the same money or pay less and get at least as good as you had. They keep getting better and cheaper.

The TV's dead. Long live the TV!

I saw a 48 inch Vizio for $349.00.

I think I paid between $300.00 and $400.00 for my now deceased Westinghouse which was 41 inches.

Hmmmmm I might have to trip and really really hope I don't accidentally knock over my 43....

lol, no, I'd most likely move it to the bedroom. No HD in there at all....I haven't been to Costco in a few months. Time to mosey over that way..

I am in CA so liquor stores aren't separated from grocery stores. In FL they were separate by law.

but I wasn't sure I could eat 329 dollars worth. Oh well, a happy girlfriend and a pocket full of money saved could lead to excellent times.
