Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Making the Switch

.
Our cable provider, due to an increase in cost, decided to drop CBS.

Do you realize what this means?????

Well, let me just tell you. It means: No Texas/Oklahoma game on Saturday. No LSU/Florida game on Saturday. AND no Colts/Ravens game on Sunday.

Oh people, and this doesn't even BEGIN to include regular programming like NCIS, CSI, CSI Miami, CSI NY, and Criminal Minds.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Guess who's switching back to Dish? - - - AND saving money in the process. Wooooot!!!

Lone Butterfly said...: I had this EXACT conversation with my Daddy not 12 hours ago.

I think his major concern was if my stepmum could get them out to his house before Sunday - He got his Masters from LSU and I'm only a Manning fan because he taught me how to love them.

I am so glad we are on Dish...; October 10, 2008 at 9:28 AM
I can't find my blog said...: How can they do that? That's a network, for pete's sake?

Aaaaaaaaggghhhhhhh!!!! (Can you hear me all the way over there?); October 10, 2008 at 9:30 AM
Char said...: So, where will you be spending your weekend?; October 10, 2008 at 9:32 AM
Keetha Broyles said...: OK girls - - - though we DID sign up for Dish last night, we aren't going to get connected until TUESDAY!!!! (Booo Hiss) There IS an outside chance if they get a cancellation or two we could get connected yet today.

Char - - - I will STILL be spending my Saturday watching what games I can see at home - - - otherwise I'd have to change out of my comfy jammies, and we CAN'T have THAT on a Saturday now can we???

Headless - - - there REALLY OUGHT TO BE A LAW, don't ya think???? And thanks for the sympathetic groan. I FEEL it way over here.; October 10, 2008 at 10:35 AM
Keri said...: I thought you had the football package?

Although that doesn't help for all those other shows.; October 10, 2008 at 11:38 AM
~Molly~ said...: No WAY!!!! I'd have to crash at someone else's place to see OU/Texas, seein' as I'm a Sooner(attended but didn't graduate). My hubby's a Longhorn(fan) and has the kids brainwashed too. But that's ok because the Sooners almost always kick those stoopid Longhorns squarely in the keester!

We can't wait, can you tell???LOL

Leigh of Tales from Bloggeritaville said...: what? a major network? I didnt know that was possible? holy cow. sorry. yes, make the switch.; October 10, 2008 at 1:31 PM
Jackie said...: Doesn't it stink about losing the coverage of OUR COLTS ?

Well, I'll think about ya on Sunday. I'll be AT the game !

Blake is coming home for TU's Homecoming & he convinced his Dad to get tickets for Sunday's game.
(Didn't really take that much talking to get Big Daddy to go for it). :-)

Have a good w/e.; October 10, 2008 at 1:42 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: Keri,I do have a sports package - - - but SOME games are ONLY on CBS, and that would be these IMPORTANT games this weekend.

Leigh - - - they DID do it. They are trying to play some black-mail game with CBS to get them to lower their fees. I think all its going to do is loose the cable company customers. At least I'm outa- there!!!

Molly - - - I can hardly STAND that I can't see the TX/OK game. Booooo Hisssssss.; October 10, 2008 at 3:16 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: Jackie - - - enjoy the game and tell Blake hello.; October 10, 2008 at 3:16 PM
~Molly~ said...: Keetha, Texas/OU is on abc!!!! You can watch it!!!

Molly; October 11, 2008 at 9:43 AM
~Molly~ said...: OR, you can see it on espn360.com; October 11, 2008 at 9:57 AM
Keetha Broyles said...: Oh Molly - - - how SILLY of me to get those two cornfused. You are right - - - I CAN see them. What would I do without you?????

:-)

I'm still switching back to Dish.; October 11, 2008 at 10:25 AM
Julie said...: Your cable company is dropping a major network like CBS? I would be switching also! I love CSI and the Amazing Race.; October 12, 2008 at 4:49 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: Yes Julie - - - and guess what!? The price increase which caused them to DROP CBS was ONLY 4 cents/month/customer. I would have PAID the four cents gladly!!!!

As it is - - - they lost us because today the installer came and we now have Dish.

:-)

I DID have to miss the Colts game though, the installer got here AFTER it was over.; October 12, 2008 at 6:53 PM
