This summer we decided our kids (7 & 19) and maybe their parents, were watching way too much boob tube, so we suspended our Direct TV account for the summer months.
This was really easy to do, I just called and they asked if I knew that date I wanted it resumed because they needed a resume date and presto! We have netflix so it wasn't cold turkey, and now we are able to pay 7.99 a month for the streaming to the Wii or our computers thats a savings of about 80$ a month during the summer (which I guess can be applied to the water bill for my garden).
One of the benefits is that if Jr. wants to watch "Crap for Kids" tv he can do it on his laptop with earphones! I don't have to listen to that racket (YAY!). I also can tell him he has to watch something educational between viewings of Crap tv. He loves the Dinosaur documenteries and the other shows netflix offers about bugs, and animals and other things like PBS kids shows too.
I haven't figured out how to hook the laptop to the tv yet but I am working on that too.
I also want to find a good recipe to can Green beans . Those are some projects I will be posting on ... if you have any ideas please post them.
