I LOVE Windchimes!

I LOVE windchimes! - But not too many of them!

I was reminded of this when I went downstairs to wash the dishes and I could hear my windchimes outside! I used to have two of them but one just fell apart after having it for something like 20 years - LOL. I have it in bits and pieces and I want to put it back together again.

The windchimes that I have currently hanging outside are of little sharks! I got this particular windchime in Atlantic City. (I definitely have to take a picture of them so that I can post it here).

I love the sound of them! And hearing them lets me know if its windy outside.

On My Wish List - Bose Radio

Odd as it may seem I don't have a stero in the livingroom. There is a big screen tv and beside it a bookcase-like shelf to hold my VCR tapes. I have a small radio plugged into the outlet but I would like to have something more permanent and I was thinking about getting a Bose radio.

They do seem kind of pricey but I still think that I want one. I have been watching them on QVC and the sound that they emit is supposed to be very good!

However other than the picture that you see above I would perfer mine in black because that goes more with the color of the livingroom.

If you have a Bose radio I would love to hear your comments about them and whether or not you are happy with your Bose radio.

Dish TV

I love being able to have Dish TV! It is an added expense and another bill to pay but I love it! Because I don't keep "normal" hours I don't have normal TV watching hours - plus I tape a lot of things and watch them at a later date.

One of my neighbors has both satellite TV and regular cable TV - wow! I aspire to that one myself!

Having all those channels has really spoiled me to the point that I just can't see myself not having it!

There is a big battle going on between cable and Dish TV - they both want your business and they don't mind saying bad things about each other. I even had one guy from my local cable company knock on my door and talking to me about getting cable again. It seems the company wants people to subscrible so badly that they are sending their people door to door!

I also know that a lot of people can't afford to have it and I am so grateful that I do have it. Mind you there are still some things that I watch on my local TV channels but its nice having the choice of what I want to view!

So Dish TV goes on my list of expenses that I want to enjoy!

TV Guide

I have this oh-so-terrible pet peeve about the most latest and "newest" TV Guide! Remember back when it was shaped like this little fat book and it had the TV listings? But more importantly it had a description of the shows and what the episode was about. I hate the newest version. It looks like a big glossy magazine and they have forgone much of the tv listing descriptions in favor of glitzy articles on the celebrities.

Maybe I just need to get more of a life but in the past I had looked forward to get my latest TV Guide and settling in and circling which programs I was going to either watch or videotape. Since my hours aren't normal "9 to 5" hours I pretty much wanted to know my TV options well in advance.

You can't do that with this latest version of TV Guide!

I give it a big thumbs down!
