Ok..so I didn’t actually THROW it out the window.\u00a0 What I did (and I’ve been threatening to do this for months now) was cut my cable service back to basic.\u00a0 Cuz.. well, I only watch the basic… with a few exceptions.\u00a0 (Exceptions whose episodes I can probably watch online.)<\/p>\n
Because OMG.. my cable\/internet was up to over $120.00 a month.\u00a0 Last year when I threatened to do this they gave me a discount of almost 50% off the cable.\u00a0 This year they offered $15.\u00a0 So I went.. noooo thank you.\u00a0 Bumped it down to Basic local channels with one DVR & receiver.\u00a0 Which means I have to send the other one back… no problem.. I only really need one.\u00a0\u00a0 (FOR ME!\u00a0 Muahahahaha.)\u00a0\u00a0 This will bring my bill down to $75 cable &\u00a0 internet together.<\/p>\n
And why do I say I’m throwing t.v. watching for my kids out the window?\u00a0 Cuz this new package will NOT include any of the kids regular channels that they watch.\u00a0 Yup… no more shows on demand or iCarly, or SpongeBob or whatever other crazy BS those kids are watching out of Nick, Toon or Disney channels.\u00a0 Cuz those channels are no longer on my system.\u00a0 (I may hear some complaining over Pokemon Black & White.. but they’ll get over it.)<\/p>\n
Oh stop gasping in shock!\u00a0 lol..\u00a0\u00a0 What I HAVE done is up my internet speed for an extra $3 a month and hooked up a computer to my t.v. screen.\u00a0\u00a0 So they can go online and watch whatever episode their little hearts desire.\u00a0\u00a0 If they can stop playing PS3 long enough that is!\u00a0 Ha!<\/p>\n
This allows me to still multi-task by watching recorded local shows while I work on my computer.\u00a0 Because I’ve found while I also can watch show on the internet.. its really difficult to work on the same computer while doing it! Ha!\u00a0 So\u00a0 until I get the same set up, upstairs in my bedroom, I’m going to let the kids adjust to using the computer to watch t.v. while I adjust to just the basic.<\/p>\n
Hopefully if all goes well, we’ll all survive the change and save a little money in the process.\u00a0 Enough money to buy a larger t.v. for the downstairs & move that nice flat screen upstairs to my bedroom! \u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
