Go fishing or hunting when I damn well please.[^]

Face off
But she did introduce me to - and I enjoy:
Dr. Pol
Mike
Then she gets aggravate at me when I put ear buds in, start watching something on
YouTube and can't hear her talking to me.
I told her she could do that, while I went downstairs and watch the Super Bowl on the TV we had down there.
Next thing I know she stomped downstairs stark naked, picked up an antique ashtray and threw it through the screen of the TV set. And said that I was going to go back to bed and lay down with her and watch I Love Lucy. I said "ohreally?" And she screamed, "NOW MISTER"
I grabbed my keys, walked out to my Range Rover (her following me and screaming at me Stark naked the whole way), drove over to a motel, rented a motel room and watched the Super Bowl.
I knew she had a very important meeting the following day so I went homed ,packedup all her s*** and threw it out on the front lawn. Then I called the cops and told them when my wife was supposed to be home and that I would like to have a police officer there to make sure the situation didn't turn out violent
She showed up after work and the cops were there with all her stuff out side, and picked up something in through through the window. The police officers arrested her.
I called her dad and told him that she was in jail, and all her stuff was sitting out in front of my house if you wanted to come pick it up before somebody pick through it. Which he did
It took me four years to get divorced from that b****
Grouch Attack has programmed the parental lock thing and won't give me the password. Now, she can "auto-tune" to any show she wants. I'll be watching a movie(after she goes to bed) and the darned TV will switch to some stupid show that takes me 5 minutes to fumble my way back to my movie.
Man caves were invented by WOMEN!! [:0] That is all.
Why I have 3 on the property.

I have an ex-wife that one year (two months after we got married and she moved into my place) decided she wanted both of us to lay in bed and watch a I Love Lucy reruns marathon on Super Bowl Sunday
I told her she could do that, while I went downstairs and watch the Super Bowl on the TV we had down there.

Double WOW.....and I thought my ex was crazy
But, the wife rarely watches TV... I watch the news at the end of the day to relax and poke fun at the idiocy of it all.
Instead, I'll watch DVD or Blue-Ray on the screen when we have a couple of hours to kill.
Saturdays, I'll watch some of the interesting wood working shows, etc. That's about it.
The recent effort of CBS to get Star Trek fans to PAY to watch TV is absurd. IMO... And from what I've read by other ST fans... This will kill their market share.
If there's a TV show that I happen upon that I'd like to watch, I'll buy the DVD after the fact.

Make that a triple......[:0]
Cable costs $10 per month and wasn't worth that much to me. Cancelled the cable in May. Don't miss it, not even a little.
I think that you missed a number in that monthly fee....[;)]
Say Yes to the Dress
Big Brother
to name a few
BUT, she doesn't make me watch them. She'll watch them while I'm gone to work.
move over Kasey your trailer story has been topped [:0] [:D][:D][:D]

I do fondly remember before cable TV and cell phones the family sitting together in the living room watching the television...
No remote control - big console model tube model with the on the roof antenna that were once omnipresent and ubiquitous...
Uhf and vhf - limited channels - reception issues - affects of weather - turning on the device and getting that horizontal line and hearing a pop before the picture appeared
It's ironic that watching TV together has for us at least become a shared quiet "family" event were we spend time together
Mike
but we liked to and hope to soon again, we would pick out a good movie or two ( use to be the movie rental place but became net flix or the other monthy similar starts with V ? ) we would turn down the lights a bowl of pop corn and just relax like going to the movies with out the people .
however with 5 dogs it got a lot tougher but pause and intermission become the norm [:0]
If any thing I watch shows she does not like , for the most part we do share the same taste in shows
Have you figured out yet that this had nothing to do about TV ? [xx(]
Having the ability to pause and fix snacks or take a break during one of the long 3 hour flics has become engrained to the point that going to a movie theater is not even in our mindset anymore. Nope, not for a very long time.
Also IMO, the movies that come out these days are all pretty lame. Maybe once in a blue moon something that I would watch may hit the market but it is becoming a rarity.
There are of coarse several "Chick Flics" that I do not care to watch and my Mrs. could live without a lot of action\war movies I like but we have pretty much put up with each others differences for over 4 decades.
She did get me hooked on one of her fave's and I admit to liking the first movie of a series of 3 so far....."Bridget Jones Diary" [:0]
