    - there's an awful f'ing thought -- nm - get pixie or die tryin Nov 8, 09:44
I gave up on The Event too. Like Spawn, it just came down to too many shows. I am half-heartedly watching Chuck now and HIMYM is wearing thin too. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 8, 09:33 2
- We're sticking with it. I did drop Raising Hope for the same reason though. Too many shows and when a show sits on my DVR for several weeks - Jim Nov 8, 09:51 1
  - Just my opinion, but Raising Hope is one of the few shows I can't wait to watch. So funny. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 8, 10:09

    - It's a small deductible but I was hoping to a rental car at the expense of the other company since we don't have that coverage. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 8, 09:31 2
      - well you can pay for it out of pocket and try to get the insurance to get that back as well. - Epiphany Nov 8, 09:34 1
        
        I think you're right. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 8, 09:51

        oh, here's an important question. are you intending to use this room mostly at night or during the day? -- nm - loosilu Nov 8, 09:32 2
        
        good point - also to consider is the lighting. How much natural lighting there is and what type of fixtures/lamps are and will be in the room. -- nm - decline Nov 8, 10:15
        
        I have no idea yet. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 8, 10:12
