I googled Cable TV Advisor because I need to get tv for my morning routine! My routine usually entails waking up at least 15 minutes later than I was supposed. Then, turning on the Today show for background as I get ready. I was kind of surprised Meredith didn’t last very long. I mean, I know she was there for years, but compared to a lot of the others, it was brief in comparison. Would the Today show be the Today show without Matt Lauer?! I think they do a good job of providing hard and soft news.

It is just way too depressing and I’d prefer to try and keep on the positive side of things. Once in a while I will be cruising the TV channels and stumble on a story that gets my interest, such was the case early this morning while I was taking advantage of laying in bed and watching some TV on a lazy Saturday morning.

It seems that a couple had been living at their home for 40 years and just now discovered that the slab of marble that was at the front of their front door step was actually a tomb stone belonging to a woman named Jane. Sorry I can’t remember the last name, but that doesn’t really matter now does it? The date was back in the 1860′s and they were not able to find any remains (which I believe to be a good thing) and plan on keeping this unusual find, right side up this time,.

Reba McIntyre has always been a favorite of mine as a singer, as an actor and as a mother. I really wish that her TV show had lasted a few years longer. It never fails, they finally come out with a good show and they don’t last but a season or two, three at the tops. I guess it’s true that nothing good lasts forever.

They had a marathon going on that had a lot of episodes that I had never seen before. I’m so glad that this show is coming back for another season. Shorty and his crew are a group of awesome little people that make a big difference for so many pit bulls and many of their owners. Now I just want to know what he is going to do about being so short staffed, please excuse that pun folks!

If that means that I have to watch something for the second time, well so be it.

So many people are surprised that people are actually living that way, unfortunately I am not. I’ve seen it before, many times, too many times for my taste.

I spent a few years installing cable (yes there are women installers) which led me into numerous homes each day and what I found behind many of these doors was very disturbing, the hoarders being the worst of all.

I have not heard or seen anything about season #2 so I decided to look around online and see what I could find out. I’m so glad to find that there is going to be a Season #2 and it is slated to start some time in the fall, no exact time or date was given but at least I know that I will get the opportunity to be entertained once again by a show that I never dreamed of ever watching even for a minute or too!

 Of course I am usually multi-tasking while everyone else sitting on their rears, so that has an impact on my listening. I usually have the kitchen sink running, or the microwave oven buzzing along, and of course there is the dish washer that is anything but the nice and quite models that they have out now, along with the all the noise that goes along with the shuffling of dishes, glasses and silverware and my pots and pans. With all of that going on I have a major handicap when it comes to trying to hear what is being said and/or played on the TV, we have the Closed Captioning turned on and that has helped quite a bit, but who ever is in charge of that whole issue is seriously lacking what it takes to translate and put into words accurately and in a timely fashion, but that subject is for another time….

There is a new show on TV that I some times tune into that is all about how the high dollar lottery winners from all over the country have done with their winnings and it seems that a good amount of them have a home theatre system installed.

And when I fessed up that I didn’t know what a soundbar speaker was and was led to the closest computer and shown pictures of various soundbar speakers I was surprised that I had not known about these wonderful little pieces of technology that is making sound systems sound better for so many people, while I was being kept like a mushroom, in the dark.

I hate it when I’m made to feel so out of touch with things, good grief one person can only know so much and I guess I haven’t really been into the sound system scene since I was a teenager and into my 20′s. After that life basically revolved around babies along the other kids, the husband and the house. Besides the only music that listened to for so many years was music from Sesame Street, Barney The Big Purple Dinosaur and all the other songs that little kids listen to and we mothers find ourselves surrounded by whether we like(d) it or not.

I know, these soundbar speakers can also be used on TVs as well, but as my music listening days went out the door, so did most of my TV viewing opportunities, but this is another story for another time.
