Hi,

I'm in a major bad mood. Sis called agitated about her husband and then got in a fight with me about HDTVs because she says I don't need one yet. Who is she. No really. Who is she???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!


I can't freaking believe that my sis yelled at me on the phone and then hung up on me.
I am stressed to the max and major sleep deprived and have a big day at work tomorrow and I don't have my projects finished tonight that I need tomorrow and I don't need her yelling at me.


The USA is supposed to go to digital broadcasting on Feb. 17, 2009. This switch was planned since the early 1990s during Clinton. This is only a concern to people who get their tv from an antenna with no cable.
We don't have cable and we are not planning on getting cable.


I told hubby a freaking year ago that we needed to get this tv stuff worked out. I ordered the free coupons for the converters that the gov gave out last year, but they expired. Who freaking reads fine print on a gov coupon to find out that they have to be used right away ????????
He will not let me go buy a tv or a convertor. He insists on taking care of it himself, and yet, he has not bought anything yet.


Tonight, after the major garbage from sis, I told him that I've had it. I want a new tv this weekend.
He can leave it in a box on the floor until Congress and Obama decide when the switch is going to happen.

The heck with everyone else. I'm taking a shower and going to bed soon I pray.
I've been tired and hung over for weeks.
And I can't sleep at night in the dark. I only want to sleep when the sun is up.
This makes it very hard to work.
Something is wrong with me and 20+ effing years of therapy and psychotropic meds have not helped.

Reporting from Washington -- President-elect Barack Obama today asked Congress to delay next month's planned switch to all-digital broadcast television, warning that the TVs of millions of Americans could lose their pictures because of major problems in the government's preparations.

In a letter to Congressional leaders, John Podesta, co-chairman of Obama's presidential transition team, urged that the Feb. 17 conversion date be extended. A major reason was the announcement this week by the Commerce Department that it had run out of money for a government program to provide $40 coupons for low-cost converter boxes to allow older TVs to receive the new digital signal.
