Great thread. I'm younger than most of you Fuds but I do remember when the TV went off line at 2AM and all you got was the test screen until morning. I also remember taking the kitchen phone receiver and cord up to the second floor and hanging it out the window to untwist the cord. I also remember my mom making me a bed in the back window shelf of our Ford LTD so I could sleep on a long trip from Nebraska to Washington.

They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
