Why I Don’t Watch Television In Bed

I do not like to watch television in bed. There’s two reasons. the first reason is that I can’t get comfortable sitting up. I try to prop my pillow but it always slides down. I’ve tried those bed pillows but they didn’t give enoush support to my neck so I was uncomfortable. It’d be great if they made tv pillows like those bed wedges, which I’m told hold up wonderfully and retain their shape. The second reason is because if I watch lying down I always fall right asleep and miss the show. Do you enjoy watching television in bed?

Descratching A DVD

I recently read in a magazine that you could remove the scratches from a DVD by spraying a little Pledge on a cloth and wiping the DVD. supposedly the Pledge creates a film that fills in the scratches, allowing the DVD to play normally. Now this might work on some minor scratches, but would it work on numerous, deeper scratches? My son is super hard on his DVDs and some of them aren’t even working any longer. Before I spend the money on a can of Pledge and start wiping the DVDs off I’d like to know if it would help.

Call Centers Are Not Quiet

Did you ever notice any of the commercials on television where they show people working in a call center? You know, the ones that show a girl or a guy wearing a headset working inside a huge cubicle with 6 foot walls. I worked in one for more than ten years and they don’t look or sound like that. They’re certainly not quiet. You could make a television show based on the lives of people working in a call center.

Smile For The Camera

We were looking at pictures taken on our annual camping trip. They’re all digital photos and we watched them on the television through our FIOS modem. I hadn’t really noticed that my brother LB2 never smiled often, especially when the camera was pointed in his direction. It’s because he’s having so many problems with his teeth. Some of them broke and he;s very self conscious about it. He did make some appointments with an orange nj dentist or someone up his way and they’ve started working on him once a week. I can’t wait until they’re done so my handsome brother is smiling once more.

Oddly Behaving Channel

Our channel 11 has been misbehaving. Sometimes there’s a line of static near the top of the screen. And sometimes the sound on whatever we’re watching is a few seconds behind the picture, much like a badly dubbed kung fu movie. It’s not happening on any of our other channels. We’ve tried rebooting the system and the problem still came back. I’m thinking its something with the channel’s programming. Have you ever had anything like this happen to you with only one channel? What did you do?
