Remember that awesome vocal group The Faith Tones and their album "Jesus Use Me".
One of you faithful readers found an alternative cover for the group.
Seems Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Company is pulling all their ad's from ABC because of ABC's decision to cancel All My Children and One Life To Live. The network will fill the spot with a FOOD show (like we need more food shows) and a "lifestyle transformation" show which sounds like a transgender thing to me but I could be wrong . . . I hope it is more like a Oprah show because we need more of those kind also.
Then there is Mike Leake. Mike Leake was the first-round draft pick in 2009 for the Cincinnati Reds, the eighth selection overall. He received a $2.3 million signing bonus and will make $425,000 this year. Seems he removed security tags from six T-shirts at a store and left without paying for them, value was about $60.
Moron!
Hey - check out this break dancing Anaconda.

And this is just bad luck
I drove to moms house yesterday - her birthday is Friday and she was having problems with her TV. Seems the batteries died in her remote and she replaced the batteries with dead batteries so she thought it was the TV. ANYWAY - she is looking to get off over the air TV and is thinking about DIRECT TV but that is like $60 a month, Dish Net seems cheaper for basic but will she get local channels for the $29 a month or is that extra? Maybe she could get Charter again. She hated Charter because they were rude and she could not understand the remote but can't I buy a inexpensive remote with big buttons?
Do they make remotes for the older generation? I know they make phones with big buttons!
OH - and I LOVED the drive home yesterday! awesome!!!! In fact I think spring time is my favorite time of year! Hope is in the air (in the form of slush, sleet and hail).

Nuff said.
It looks like Dish offers locals at no extra charge, but I can't be sure. And the remote could be an issue since any provider is going to have the tv set up to use their programmed remote.... I'm not sure how you can get around that. I would call them and ask if they have a big-button remote for their elderly customers! You could start a whole new movement in remotes!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck-hope you get something good figured out for your mom. :)
WOW! That Tina Fey. She does it all, doesn't she? SNL, 30 Rock, her new book, Bossypants and now a record album.
ReplyDeleteThere's a new business for you--big-button remotes for the elderly. You think by now someone would have some up with that.
