Check out this map I found online that shows most of the tornadoes that touched down on Tuesday. Of course, Alabama got the worst damage and worst loss of life from the storms, but there were tornado reports in a lot of other states – all the way up to New York. What a crazy extreme weather day we had on Tuesday – over 300 people were killed and well over a thousand were injured!

I was in the market for a new dog, and Sarah had been the best pet I could have asked for. She was some sort of lab mix and I’d gotten her from a local shelter, but she was getting really lonely, so I decided it was time for a sister for Sarah. I wanted to get this dog from a breeder, mostly because I wanted a purebred Yorkshire Terrier and those were hard to come by as rescues.

I didn’t have home internet and looking at the library was getting tiresome, so I went to getclearwirelessinternet.com and found a mobile setup that worked for my budget. I immediately started looking for a Yorkie breeder in my area and it didn’t take long to find out a litter was just about to be born just up the road! I reserved one of the female pups and Sarah and I are going to meet her in just a couple of weeks. I’m really excited to have a new puppy and I think Sarah’s pumped as well!

When she insisted that we rent the movie, Country Strong, I was ready to not like it. But since it was important to her, I agreed and figured that if it was really bad I would just fall asleep and miss most of it anyway. Although I do like country music, I’m not a big fan of any of the stars and the idea of a movie based on the country music business just didn’t trip my trigger.

So, to be a good guy and keep the peace, we rented it and took it home last night. I wanted to watch the hockey game, but it wasn’t a good game anyway. I put the game on the TV in the bedroom and we put the movie on in the living room. I stretched out on the couch and was ready for an early night while she watched Gwyneth Paltrow and Tim McGraw sing and cry.

So, to my surprise, it was a pretty good movie. My advice to the guys, if your little lady wants to rent this movie, don’t make a big deal about it being a chick flick. It’s an OK movie.

Wasn’t it about a year ago that all the TVs had to be digital or they quit working? I know that three of the four TVs in my house were so old that they were not digital. But they still worked great and now I have to pay extra for a converter or for a TV service provider to be able to use my television sets.

So, that got me motivated to check into other ways to watch TV. Most of the alternatives involve spending at least one hundred dollars, most require a lot more than that. I know that I can just get rid of the old TVs and buy new ones, and that’s not cheap anymore, but I’m probably going to go with Direct TV and keep my old sets as long as they get good reception and give me a good picture.

My friends down in Louisiana have done nothing but rave about Satellite TV since they signed up for it last year. They have a TV in every room in their house and are serious about several shows that they watch every week. They are such TV addicts that they plan their social lives around the TV programming for each night.

If the Easter Bunny doesn’t make it to your house, here’s why:
