Toshiba sucks

And I hope their warehouse gets flooded and ruins all of their TVs so no one will have to deal with the damn thing never working. This is the second time in 8 year the stupid thing has broken. Last time it cost $500 and nine months to fix. I think it's time to recycle the piece of shit. Hubby has had his eye on the Consumer Reports best pick for a while. Since it's being phased out it may be worth exploring. And it's not a Toshiba.

So the upside of being very aware of the financial picture is I know we can get a new one. The question is should we? It's clearly a want, not a need. As addicted to Mario Kart as I am, do we really need a 50 inch plasma monster in the living room? I think we watch entirely too much TV as it is. Hubby falls asleep watching TV on the couch every night. Wouldn't we be better off not replacing it? I think I will lose that battle as well as my desire to get rid of cable. Sports will always win.
