I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!

I just waited a half hour for a show to load on my ever so slow computer and finally gave up when nothing happened. This is sooooo annoying! I have too many shows that I never get to watch. I'm sure you're thinking "why don't you just get DVR/TiVo?" Well I'll tell you why I'm having a hard time breaking down and getting it....

*Getting DVR means that we'd have to get REAL cable not this basic stuff which means we'd have ESPN (and anyone who has a husband who loves to watch, read, listen to sports knows what that would mean).

* We pay $10 a month for our basic cable which is all I want. I watch enough tv on those channels.

*It costs $60 a month to get DVR because we would have to get digital cable and I'm told that's their cheapest plan.

...We pay $120 a YEAR. With DVR we'd pay that much in 2 MONTHS. So due to those cons (yes, I making a pro's and con's list Michael) I don't think it's worth it. So my next option is to watch them online. This wouldn't be a problem if I had a normal speed for my computer, but it takes me 2 hours to watch an hour long show because the words get to fast for the picture or the other way around. My only excuse for not getting a faster internet connection is I'm cheap.

So I guess I am going to take it because I'm not willing to pay more money. What I would give to just have an old VCR. It would solve ALL my problems. Well except the one where I have two shows on at the same time and I'm not home to watch one while the other would be recording!!!!!!

Grrrrrr!!!

I would maybe give up my shows if I didn't already sacrifice most the other things I enjoy doing. It's the one thing I have to look forward to at the end of a loooong day.
