Far East Cynic

That's it! I'm pulling the damn plug on the TV!

The S.O. has been watching the HGTV channel for at least an hour and a half. With the concentration that an alcoholic pours into a pitcher of martinis or margaritas. Wide eyed and awestruck is a bad way to go through the evening………………..

  1. We have been tempted to put a block on said channel on our own sets. The phrase “I’ve got this great idea for the (fill in the blank) from watching …” is guranteed to provoke a response much along the lines of a call from the SDO “Umm, Skipper – there’s a call on the other line – it’s a reporter from the Washington Post…” Get her to watch Oxygen or Hallmark channel – it’ll be easier on your wallet in the long run (he says as he dashes for the fallout shelter)

  2. LOL! That is too funny! I have to admit that I must stay away from that channel for the very reason. Just before my hubby left for his last deployment we were repainting the entire house & faux painting the living room by hand! Tee hee! I have vowed to stay off of it for awhile after that. There are just so many great ideas. At least we wives are interested in making our husband’s houses feel like Homes. Still not a good enough argument to convince the hubby. Sigh and there is only so much you can do if you are in base housing. I think that keeps the hubby safe. Otherwise, I would have ripped out countertops and cabinets….oh yes, and let’s not forget the floors too! LOL! Ok, I think you get the point. It is just in our nature to domesticate an otherwise cold, stark environment. Secretly, I think you guys like to enjoy the finished product and show it off too! 😉

  3. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
    My wife decided the other day to re-do one of the bathrooms…while I am on crutches.
    No, HGTV is one, and stay away from TLC…
