At midnight, it happened. Awakened by a sound like a squirrel rambling through an aluminum bag of nuts at a picnic, I was startled to a sitting position. "Where was that sound coming from? The TV? Why are the Northern Lights in the center of the screen? This can't be good." Slowly, approaching it's right side, the crackling intensified. It's coming from the back. "Is it the DVD playrer or the VCR stacked on top? No, it's lower." Power off NOW! Investigating the other side, the undeniable scent of a burning electrical component solidified the conclusion. Picture tube was gone.
So now Mr. TV, Rest In Peace. You had a long run since the early 90's. Sorry you had to take your leave today of all days, but chance is like that. But just in case for some reason you've obtained an internal calendar, I'll try you tomorrow.
Lucky you! Now you get to buy a new one. They only come in sizes humongous and larger nowadays.
ReplyDeleteAw - may the boob tube rest in peace :)
ReplyDeleteI recommend three days of fasting from all tv watching as a respectful memorial, then, just like when your favorite pet dies, go and get a new little puppy - life goes on (smile)
It was time. Sorry! You needed a digital anyway.
ReplyDeleteaww man, that sucks!

ReplyDeleteLucky? Humongous sizes relates to humongous prices

No fasting here. Within two hours of getting home, Hubby discarded it, brought in son's TV to our room (it had been unplugged for months), and reprogrammed it for our satellite receiver. He mourned the 15 minutes he had to wait from the time he got home to until I got out of bed.

Me? Hubby has been waiting for an opportunity (excuse) to get a 50in plasma

Right now, it's Gone To The Garage. I need to find out how to dispose of it, "Green-ly".

such a great thing to die
