Before I know it, the kids are in bed and I'm exhausted and off to bed!

I hear ya, I've got 2 girls, 7 and 4. We get up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, do homework, give em a bath, getem ready for bed, read a book, tuck them in and then.......struggle to stay awake till 10, otherwise we feel old!

I sit right outside my GM's office, so I don't post much at work at all. Right now I'm on STD. Go back to work Wed, then you won't see me post much at all, until the weekend.

Personally, I think a lot of the posters on this forum who do it from work, do it becuase they have kids and no time to do it at home.

I get work sporadically through-out the day, and in between I post here. I am actually the "HT guy" now in my office!

Me too!

Only problem with is, some people know so little, it's hard to find a place to start.

"What do you mean I can't watch HD channels, I just bought an HD TV?"

"Do you have an HD cable box"?

"A what?"

What's HD?
*RUNS AWAY*
Yeah most people with LCDs seem to think just because they have an HD TV everything is automatically HD, oh well.

This is somewhat off-topic, but I was at a Wal-Mart a few weeks ago, and there was a middle-aged woman buying an HDTV, and she was asking how to hook it up.

Wal-Mart guy: "It's real easy. Just plug in the power cord, and then take the red white and yellow plugs from your old TV, do you have those?"

Woman: "Yeah"

Wal-Mart guy: "Ok, just plug those right in, and that's all."

Woman: "So I'll get all the HD stuff?"

Wal-Mart guy: "Yup. It's really simple."

Weird... I'm trying to find a pattern, or reason why this guy could've said that.... I just can't put my finger on it.

What annoyed me is that a) the guy seemed as though he really believed what he was saying, and was proud of himself for being so helpful, and b) the woman was in for some disappointment, unless she had really low expectations.

But of course, I couldn't be bothered to step in and correct the guy, because I didn't want to be the guy that tells her she needs to buy new wires, potentially needs a new cable box, etc., and I'm sure she would be convinced the Wal-Mart guy would know more than me, since he was the employee.

That would be handy, as I never now which is more cost effective, extra cheese or pepperoni as a topping?
