We cancelled Dish Network or DirecTV, whichever one we had, because it got so expensive and got a smart TV, or Roku, or whatever you call it. It's pretty good though, still get lots of good channels. Probably can still get The Weather Network but I'd have to get Zina from Gladys to find it. I only watch the same 3 or 4 channels all the time. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted January 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2023 So, sidetracking... I'm watching this Tom Hanks movie where he's the captain of a container ship that gets hijacked by somali pirates. And as everyone knows, I'm not the smartest person out there, but I once watched a movie called "Black Hawk Down". It's a great movie, and I said at the time "if I was king, which I am not, I would just bomb somalia right off the face of the earth". And I've already watched enough of this somali pirate movie to make me think... 🤔...If I was king- which I am not- I'd say "you remember when we bombed somalia right off the face of the earth about 20 years ago?..well let's go bomb those bastards some more". 😡 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
