I am thinking that someone out there is sending me a signal that I need to be less digitally connected.

1) About 2 weeks ago we started having trouble with our phone…to make a long story short we had no phone service for days (and we just thought no one liked us ).

2) My computer has been on the fritz now for several months. I just replaced a part and thought that it was all better but no it seems that things are still not right with it…so I will only be on-line when the gods of the digital age allow me to.

3) We were sitting in the house during one of those almost rainy days and I heard a large pop from the general direction of the TV. So I call Todd after figuring out that turning it on and off (the extent of my TV repair knowledge) did not work. He confidently says it is a burnt bulb (ok…I trust you). When he went to replace the bulb he noticed that the inside was melted…not a good thing! Sony is not being helpful at all either!

Updated to Read: Is has now been close to 2 weeks and Sony is still not being helpful…they want $500 to “upgrade” our TV because they no longer make the model we have…we have said a big no…we don’t have $500 to replace a TV that was 3 years old and expensive. So we are waiting to see what a high manager has to say. I miss my TV…we have what the kids call a “baby TV” from the guest room in its place
