I've been without cable for about 8 months mainly because I was unemployed. Well, I got a job last week (yipeee!!!!) and I broke down and ordered cable again. I miss watching hockey, Cartoon Network and Food TV and I'm sick of adjusting the rabbit ears every time I want to watch the something. I promise I won't watch cable news!
Tell me I'm not a bad person. :P

4. I think it's important |
|
to find some measure of joy in life. Goddess knows, we have enough stuff going on around us to make us feel bad. Enjoy! Enjoy!

6. I'm just impressed that you got rid of it to begin with. |
|
I know many, many people who are struggling financially but refuse to give up their cable/gym memberships/weekly pedicures, and I have a hard time feeling sorry for them.
Congrats on the job!! WTG!

8. I didn't want to sign a 12 month contract |
|
and I got three free months of cable and $15/month off my cable modem service. It was a really good deal. Hot damn, I'll finally get to watch a live debate! :)

|
and faster DU surfing and posting. . .
At least that was my excuse!
Congrats! :toast:

11. I'm about to do the same bad thing |

I really hate adjusting rabbit ears and getting only 2 stations on a nice day. I want cable again.

12. As long as you're not up lat at night watching scrambled porn |
|
then your fine.
I remember back when I was 14 and the porn channel came in crystal clear for about 2 hours. My friend called me up to tell me. I kept checking for about a month to see if it happened again.

And cable modems are really great.
As nasty are things are getting in this country one needs a few modest luxuries.
