I thought I would take a little departure from my usual cerebral pursuits and tell you of my relationship, yes it is a relationship, with Netflix. Netflix? you say why don't you just get cable or dish? Well I'm glad you asked. First let me start by saying Theresa Veronica (that's my T.V.) has a little bit of age on her. A friend was getting a new T.V. and gave her to me ten years ago. Gotta love friends! I get some of the best stuff from friends. We shop in each others closets, trade furniture, feed each other and make stuff for each other. I have even traded cars with my mechanic. Anyway, back to Theresa Veronica (T.V) who settled in here for a long stay. I decided to give her a little love and got a VCR that plays DVDs and videos. Hooked it up myself and we were in heaven. Except that there came a day when I was overrun by DVDs and videos because I hated going to Blockbuster and rent them, then cart them back, or have to pay the fine for being late. Happily I discovered Netflix, don't asked me how, it was years ago when they first started. My friends ask me don't you feel deprived? What about cable or Dish, aren't you missing HBO, Dexter and all those good shows that are shown? Heck NO!!! Most of them I can get on Netflix. Oh, I may be a season or two behind but for $17.00 a month as opposed to $$$$$$ what they are paying for cable or Dish I am happy as a clam.
Dear Mr. President may I suggest to you a way people can save money, have fun with friends and put food on the table? Swap stuff with your friends and get Netflix. I can see the Obama family snuggled up on the couch with Bo watching a good movie from Netflix. A bag of popcorn, juice for the girls, Gramma out for the evening and a bottle of Merlot for themselves. Ah, I love the first family.
Sorry the photo is from an old Christmas Card from my family but my dad does look like Mr. President and we look like a poster for the universal family of all colors. It is hard to be prejudice when you come from this stock.
