It figures...

Just as I'm starting to feel a little bit better, Jim catches sick! Poor baby... so far he's just snuffledy and coughing a bit ~ hopefully it won't get as bad for him as it did for me...
As for me, I still have a sore throat/ears and a bit of a snotty nose, but no more of the gawd-awful cough. And I don't sound quite so much like a dying bull-frog...

Lets talk, for a moment, about the TV digital conversion brouhaha (better late than never)... The powers that be decided to put it off because some poor folk couldn't afford the conversion box. Mmmmmm...
In the world I live in, being poor means (among other things) doing without life's little luxuries, cable TV being one of them. So I just do NOT understand why the conversion had to be pushed back just because some people were going to miss out on their weekly dose of WWF (or other such garbage).Hello????????????????????????

Ich nicht verstehen das!!!

Was so glad to hear from you although you sounded like CRAP!!! Hug Jim (from a distance) and hope he gets to feeling better.

And yeah, it's only like a $50 coupon, is that really enough to keep someone from getting a converter box???? Do without. I really can't believe taxpayers are having to pay for this anyway.

To get the full scoop, read "The Tao of Pooh" by Benjamin Hoff.
