Foiled

Linda was excited to go get her new-old flat screen TV tonight.  Our downstairs TV (thanks Dan!) works great, but it's smallish. That is the TV that Netflix is hooked up to.  When Linda wants to watch Netflix upstairs, she has to do it on the small laptop. For some reason, Netflix can't work on the upstairs TV, but she can't remember why.  If there is a regular show on, Linda watches it upstairs on her newer-old flat screen (Thanks Cris and Kevin!).  It would be nice to have a screen downstairs big enough that Linda does not have to wear her driving glasses to see the picture.  Linda can't remember ever buying a TV.  It's so low on her list of wants/needs that it would never be something she spends $$ on.  When a friend gets a new TV, Linda is pleased to take hand-me-downs if they are looking to get rid of it. So when Jerry offered her this Sony, she said Yes!  They tried to move it tonight but it weighs about 250 pounds.  Linda could not lift her end even 1 inch off the table.  PW has an injured arm, so he didn't want to try to lift it either.  It's going to take two Taylor size men and a pickup truck to get it moved. 

Linda did come home with a bagful of SciFy TV DVD's that Jerry was getting rid of.  Frankenfish; Sharktopus; DynoCroc; Chupacabra... all the old school fun monster movies that Linda loves.  There's probably about 20 of them, even a few she has never seen.
