Yeah the Weather Channel has a way of sucking you in and entertaining you while not providing much information.

At least it's better then they did years ago when Cantory(sp?) was young. I always went to Florida in late February from Vermont. I would watch the Weather Channel to see what to expect, weather wise, for the trip. They were always wrong. I remember a big report about a year when Florida had a lot of rain and flooding. They made it sound like the entire state was under water and to top it off, they reported how the snakes were coming out of their ground holes and were everywhere. I had all I could do to get my wife in the car after that. Turned out every place we went was pretty dry and we never even saw one lousy little snake the whole trip and believe me... she was watching.

My rule here is the last one up makes the bed. It's always DH, and he's learning, but it took a few years before he could do a decent job at making a bed.


It's not rocket science.

To those of you who are thrilled about all the latest technology in some newer TVs, feel free to skip this post.

To anyone else (yours truly) who sometimes falls into the category (image below), this post is for you.

We needed a new 32" TV recently. Went to Target last month and bought a Samsung "Smart" TV on sale. (I didn't know what Smart TV meant, but the picture on the box looked like your basic TV to me.) Hubby set it up. Apparently, some newer TVs are not just TVs anymore. o_O They have options for gaming, computer, and other stuff that I don't need or want. And they have odd terms such as "Cast" (cast of characters? cast, as in broken arm cast?? :confused: ). TV came with a tiny, useless remote (no numbers on the keypad . . . I need numbers if I want to switch over to antenna, if my satellite goes out in a storm, so that I can access over-the-air channels, by selecting numbers, such as 5.1).

Here's the kicker-- hubs told me that they want you to go to Google and download some silly app that would go to a Smart Phone (I don't have, don't want one), and that would work as your fully functional "remote"??!! :mad: That's right--they want you to use your Smart Phone as a remote for the TV??!!! :eek: (In the interim, hubs was able to program our (separate) Direct TV remote to be also used for over-the-air.)

Decided to return the TV yesterday. Deal breaker was that if you lose the little remote that they give you, there's no way to turn on or off the TV. :banghead: So, we ended up buying an earlier version of Samsung TV that was perfect--even came with a decent remote! (And it was on sale!) So, buyer beware of some "newer" TVs- ugh.

My daughter and her DH have a smart TV. I say if it can't clean the house, do laundry or at least make a decent cup of coffee, it's not that smart,
