Just Stuff

New digital cable is neat. Trying to figure out how to work the remote when your three year old is screaming in your ear (because the program the guide said was on wasn't on) is not fun.

Still trying to figure out how to program the remote - it doesn't seem to work with my VCR/DVD and I can't get the TV and cable box off and on at the same time even following the instructions? Will have to check the website.

My friend who was expecting twins had them yesterday. Brandon Joshua and Scott Daniel - 6 lbs 8 oz and 5 lbs 14 oz respectively - they are fraternal twins (I asked). Mother and babies are doing well. She plans to have everyone over in about a month after she gets settled with motherhood. Looking forward to meeting them and holding a little baby again.

It took us a while to program everything, ended up downloading the codes. The nerd in Mark has all these different things set up so it can be confusing to actually use the VCR.

What I do like about our system is that to record is just a couple of clicks of the remote. The downside is the sometimes the programing is off, I think it is more the channel's fault than the system.

Our local NBC station is going HD in February. That should spoil me big time.

I got to hold a newborn the other day :) Your friend is going to be a busy woman. I have a cousin who had twins about a year and a half after I had mine. I didn't envy her.

Those twins were a really good size. Nice names too. Digital Cable would be wonderful but we can't afford the extra expense right now.

Who is your cable company? It actually turned out to be cheaper to have 1 set with the digital box than all 3 with no digital cable. We have time warner. We are also trying to see if we can get a better deal for my MIL who has cablevision.
