New TV

A few days after we got here our TV started acting funny. The picture would just randomly not work- so we still had sound, just no picture. I had bought some old VHS - ( I know you're thinking why buy a VHS? Once you have 2 kids ruin a $20 DVD in about 2 seconds, then you'll understand. A $4 old VHS works just the same and the kids can step on it and it won't hurt it) Anyways- I thought it was the VHS, and it was just old and crappy, but then it started happening on DVD's too. At first you could just hit the TV and the picutre would come back on, but it progressively got worse. We tried replacing the cables, to see if it was just a connection, but that didn't work either. So we decided to start shopping. We weren't thrilled about having to buy a new TV for 2 reasons: 1. The money and 2. we didnt want to have to take a brand new TV back to AZ and chance braking it.

It took us about 2 hours and 3 different stores to get one. We got a Samsung 46 inch, LCD , 1080 p and 120 hz. (For those of you who are tech savvy and who care to know!)
It's a really nice TV and I'm glad we got it. It's amazing the difference in picture from our old junker. The funny thing is - this is the first TV we've bought our whole marriage. Our first one Ryan bought from someone for $25 before we got married and the one that just died we got for free!
Since we bought it, Ryan's sleep time has drastically reduced! He's been staying up to watch movies and even on his night off last night, stayed up and played Call of Duty online with Nancy's husband Rusty! He tells me that he has to 'play' with his new 'toy'! BOYS. Jeeze.

Old TV, New TV

Okay...how much hush money does Ryan need not to tell of his new toy to his bromance brother Josh? This could seriously set me back.
