I LOVE the Olympics. I’m very patriotic and I love sports, so it’s a great mix of both. Unfortunately, I don’t really get the channel that the Olympics are shown on. My t.v. is a tiny 10 inch black-and-white with rabbit ears. I usually only get 2 channels, but with a lot of adjusting sometimes I can’t “kind of” get reception on a couple of other channels.
Tonight, NBC is coming in ok. OK means completley fuzzy, but not too fuzzy to distinguish the lane lines in the swimming pool. (Last night, I couldn’t see the lane lines; I was mostly just listening to the commentary. ) Though I did see well enough to be jumping up and down at the United States relay win. 
And I prefer when the gymnasts wear white outfits, because I can actually see what they are doing. When they wear dark colors they just blend in.
I’m not unthankful for my little t.v. My friend Vanessa found it on the side of the road with a free sign on it, because it hadn’t sold at a yard sale. But, I was at work tonight stealing glances at the Olympics every once in a while, and was talking about how sad I was about my lack of Olympic coverage at my house…and about my t.v. So, some customer at the bar, Joe, offerred me a free color t.v.
It won’t solve my reception problem, I don’t think. I will still not get NBC, but it’s very fun that he’s giving me a free t.v.
My name is Rhonda. I am blessed to live in a beautiful place out in the country with my wonderful husband. In addition to our "real" jobs (I work at a garden center and he is a teacher), we have a small farm where we raise vegetables, eggs and chickens to sell at local Farmer's Markets. We are currently fixing up/remodeling a house into which we will soon be moving...hopefully. In my free time, (what is that?) I enjoy traveling, cooking, crafty projects, reading and watching the sun set on the hills.
What a blessing!!
Now you just got to move farther down the bar to the upscale guys who are offering pretty girls satellite systems!
at least you dont hAVE to watch british coverage. i feel like lighting myself on fire
Do you always accept gifts from strange guys at bars?
And who needs a TV. I haven’t had one for over a year now…
awesome!
Well, I do always accept free things. Why not? And he’s not so strange…he’s kind of a regular. And I know I don’t need a t.v. I have lived without one for years. But if I get a free one, why not take it?
Rhonda, that’s so fun.
And I assume you gave him your phone number in return?
anything free is good.
