I woulda watched the President on TV but the guberment stole my TV signal

Now, I get my news from Bubba down at the gas station. Sounds like Obama said something wrong again! Well, according to Bubba he never says right thangs. He did say it may rain this evening so stay away from the river. I'm glad I have Bubba.

:yoiks:

PS: yes, this is just me bitching about digital TV crapolla again.

1. I get a lot of exercise hopping up and adjusting the rabbit ears all the time

and once I get it dialed in reasonably well it works OK as long as nobody moves in the room, thats when we have to sit still like monks meditating while we watch dialing for dollars.

2. I've tried all that hehe

My last attempt was rabbit ears at the end of a 200' wire thrown in a tree on top of the hill. I'm just in a bad spot but too stubborn and poor :P

3. So going commando and pirating the neighbors cable signal is out of the question?

4. Haven't had TV in the house since the switchover...

Occasionally I miss it, but not very often.
I would have liked to have watched the President's speech last night, but I waited until this morning and watched it on Youtube.
Not really a big deal...

5. I'm getting there - the reception has declined for some reason and

I'm ready to just walk away from television altogether, as I refuse to subscribe to overpriced cable.
