My TV Boyfriends

I find it funny when I see photos of people and their teeth are super white.  The bottom line is this, if their teeth look too white to be real, then they probably are.   That means that someone is responsible for a  Photoshop Fail.  I read somewhere that it was best to try to match your teeth to the white’s of your eyes when having them bleached and I think that should definitely be the guidelines when you start trying to whiten someone’s teeth. 

You could be one of those people that finds yourself all shopped up and sporting a  duckface, especially after someone has been playing with the various features that you can find.  If you are looking to make someone laugh, definitely check out the  funny autocorrect and see what you can dream up to share.

I had a very unique experience the other day. I called my car insurance company to report a claim. While on a road trip, a rock kicked up off of the highway and took a small chip out of my windshield. My insurance company is notorious for having phenomenal customer service and they didn’t fail me this time. The second the woman on the other end of the line found out in which state the incident occurred, she began gushing about the recent winner of American Idol, who hails from the same state. She said she never missed an episode on www.TVByDirect.com Franklin Oh. She then began telling me how the winner reminded her of the old recording artist, Jimmy Dean. As far as I knew, Jimmy Dean was only famous for his sausages. She then proceeded to school me on his music, as well as recommend a few tracks I should listen to. Not only did my windshield get repaired at no cost to me but I also learned a little bit of history along the way.

I love living out in the country, but there are some things that definitely take getting used to. For example it was months before I could sleep past 8am because that dang rooster next door literally crowed at dawn. I was like, am I in a TV show? After that, the locusts kept me up chirping all night and then it was the crop dusters…either way, I’m finally starting to get used to being all the way out here. It’s hard driving so far to get into town and I also don’t like not having a mailbox, but whatever the case, it’s peaceful out here. When I couldn’t get cable at first I was panicked, then I found a site, http://www.wildbluedeals.com/, that helped me figure out how satellite internet could work for me. I’ve also started looking into a golf cart to ride around the property since it’s so big, but I guess that will have to wait since they’re so expensive. Country life definitely has its good and bad points, but it’s where I live now!

I haven’t seen a good movie in ages.  I haven’t seen any horror movies in even longer than that.  Right now, our movie stash consists of lots of kid’s movies.  But, if you are into getting the daylights scared out of you, then you probably know the name and location of every scary movie ever made.  I get my kicks out of little short snippets of scariness like Michael Jackson’s Thriller, but obviously, the True Blood viewers would laugh me right out of the theater.  I don’t know exactly what kind of movies my husband likes in the horror genre but he loves a lot of sci-fi stuff for sure.  But, I know I heard him mention Stephen King and all of his movies including The Shining.

Looking over the website I found all kinds of scary movies that I didn’t even know existed.  Haunted Mansion from 2003, the Halloween movies…yea all of them as well as Tales from the Dark Side and Seven Deaths in the Cats Eye.  Those titles are just plain scary to me, never mind the whole movie.

I am a big animal lover and I love just about every type of animal known to man. I grew up in a house that is absolutely filled with animals. I actually used to volunteer at an animal shelter in my free time. I’m known to always go and adopt kittens or puppies at the local shelter in order to give them a great home. My boyfriend and I have two very crazy cats that live with us in our apartment. The one cat is actually a little bobtail, which means that she does not have a tail. She was actually born that way and it is the cutest thing I have possibly ever seen. The other kitten has just been adopted and he is a handful. I find that they love watching animal programs on our satellite television from expertsatellite.com when we are not there. They seem to really like watching cats do some weird things on television.

I will normally set the tv to the Animal Planet and allow it to play all day for the animals. Some programs I will actually enjoy watching, but the majority of the shows are actually put on there for my cats to watch while I am not home to entertain them. I do not know where I’d be without my animal programs on television and I’m sure that my cats feel the same way.

Depending on where you live, and I’m going to assume that a majority of you don’t live anywhere near me or you would be asking me about that dang oinking noise coming from my front yard. Anyway, yes, if all else fails, we can go play with the piglets.

However, I prefer my entertainment a bit differently. For instance, local TV satellite has a lot of choices, none of which even involve pigs, or goats.  If you can’t get certain channels, especially the ones where all the crime shows come on, you definitely want to check out the various sources of entertainment on the localtv-satellite.com .

Depending on what shows you prefer, you can most likely find something to fit your taste any time of the day or night. Go ahead, give some of those 3 channel nights a try and trust me, you’ll be begging me for more information on the various options.

Depending on your position as a mechanic, or not, hhaha, in my case, you will need someone at some point and time to address issues with your car or truck. Or maybe you are one of those big SUV or Mini Van drivers who have to haul folks around for hours on end every day. Either way, the time is going to come when you at least need an oil change and may even have a flat.

If you live in certain areas or drive certain types of automobiles, you can start your search based on that. You can find Houston auto repair if you are in that area and if you just need an oil change, you can get that all in one place. If you have one of the specialty autos then you may have a hard time finding someone to do the work for you but if you have an Acura Integra or you are in the looking for an place to get an Acura Integra tune-up, then you might be in luck.

One of the most important aspects of owning an automobile is keeping up the maintenance and making sure that you don’t run into bigger problems down the road.

Unless you live under a rock, you know that there are some big time games going on in soccer, basketball, baseball, hockey and more.  If I had my way, I’d go for a good looking Kobe but the sunday ticket so you don’t miss the best games out there. 

But, you can also grab some great games on Time Warner sports depending on your preference.  I wasn’t much of a hockey fan but of course, the Stanley Cup is fun to watch.  And the same goes for the World Cup and soccer. 

And, if that’s not enough, you can watch the NHL draft, the NBA draft, the NFL draft and more.  You can check out Cox sports and you may be surprised to find your favorite sports guys just hanging out.

Some posts I write because I know a bit about a product and I research what I don’t know.  Other products?  I’ve used them, I know what I’m talking about and I have no reservations what so every about directing you their way.  Now, one of those, directv comes with free satellite dish installation and if you aren’t married to a satellite technician like I am, then, you will want to make sure you have good service.

And, the fact of the matter is, there are government rules for installing a dish so you want to make sure you have done it correctly and the best way is to get professional help.  Once the satellite is set up, you can then make the necessary adjustments by running the lines in the house and such.
