My new BFF were here for eight hours

I left to get hearing aids installed in my head, and Foxy had to visit with the technicians as they prepared to update our television system. I came home, hearing better, to discover that Frederick was still here and that our satellite system was not able to be updated. Frederick, who is now on the Christmas list, called in two of his workers to install system three or four and they were: "On the way." Well, "on the way" meant 4-5 hours during which Frederick talked and talked. The techs got here about six and left at quarter to eight. We now have the fourth system and can get HD television, including TIVO and something else I am sure like Vegas. I am kidding, we can only get the East and West Coast for regular television. This is poor if you want local news but acceptable if you want national news. Of course, this has not happened yet since we have to call the satellite company to get this amazing ability. And the good news is that it only cost $2250. The last time we updated the system it cost about the same, and apparently they sold us an older system than we thought we were buying. These other new techs seemed to know what they were doing and even left us with a hookup for a third television which is necessary in a motor home, since they are so huge inside. After all, in 400 square feet of space you certainly must need three television sets. If this scenario seems a bit odd to you just send money as we have to make up the hole in our check book where we paid for this new system. You can consider it a donation for the troubled and deserved poor who think that the world is better with more television and hearing aids to help you to hear all of the drivel spouted on the 200 plus channels that you could watch. I need help. Happy travels.
