Hi-Def Dilemma

I have been contemplating the purchase of an HDTV for a while now, but one thing that has been holding me back is that my cable provider did not offer NESN HD - and if I can't watch the Red Sox in High-Def, then why bother? But I was perusing my cable company's website and discovered that this year they ARE offering NESN in HDTV. Furthermore, I discovered that my current package already INCLUDES HDTV basic programming (a $5.95 value!). This means that by hooking up my regular TV to this service, I am effectively WASTING $5.95 a month. Therefore it stands to reason that the only responsible thing to do is to go out and buy an HDTV immediately.

I'm thinking, sell one of the kids. No way is he getting rid of any of my tickets.

I have pretty good seats to opening day. I seriously could probably trade those straight up on craigslist for a nice TV.

You might want to save the baskets for your retirement fund.

retirement?? what's that? Why do you think we have so many kids, they're going to take care of us!

I'm never retiring. After the kids leave, it would just be Me, Her, and the baskets.

Don't forget assorted 4 wheelers, snow mobiles, sheds, and trailers.

Tell Little Arik it's time to start earning his keep. There must be something he could do to help get the family a hi-def tv.

I vote for selling the four-wheelers. There's not really a market for kids.

THAT'S NOT FUNNY

But if it happens, I call first dibs.

Ok, I don't think the - "I'm sure my dad's 15 year old polaris will be fine in West virginia even though every time I ride it it falls apart within the first 5 minutes" - guy has any room to make fun of my Arctic Cat.

My Hubby has always taught me..."nothing but a Honda" (although he did buy his son a chinese brand atv)

 
At 6:54 PM, Blogger Big A said...

yeah, I don't think he's being very consistent. of all your motor vehicles are ANY of them Hondas besides his ATV?

 
At 2:46 PM, Blogger Trish said...

you are right....he is a Dodge man, but he is partial to Honda Atv's.

L-Dub is wise. There is no mistake.
