My wife and I do too. That's why we bought an 80" lol. But that creates a first world problem because if I power the TV and home theater too many hours my electric bill is scary

Ain't that the truth! I'm sometimes put in charge of the Bunn for church functions, and almost every time I make some sort of a mess. :facepalm:

We were talking to a waiter at a barbecue joint today. "After working here two years, I can't eat smoked meats anymore. I'm just tired of smoked meat. I don't eat anything we have on the menu here anymore. It's a real first world problem, I know."

As soon as he said that, I knew where I needed to share his problem. I raced home to log onto my laptop! You're welcome.
