The more I think about Arnold being a dick, the more I think well, your home life isn’t much better Mr. Baseball. I think my wife is a succubus. Is there a test you do? Like a sneaky DNA extract or something? She can get so mean and bent out of shape with the kids over nothing, and I just don’t get the anger. It’s seriously over the top, and often from something one of their friends did at school (she teaches where they go) and has nothing to do with them. Even if my kids were causing the problems dealing with your children choosing path Y when they should have chosen path X, is part of the deal of being a parent. You roll with the punches. Improvise, overcome, adapt. This is what we are SUPPOSED to deal with.

However I haven’t killed her or even hurt her in any way despite the constant bitter attitude towards everything in life. Will I make it to 20 years this august? Probably, because I end up saying, screw it, just roll with it. I am a little worried about the kids though she’s really going overboard about the tiniest of things. You gotta save something for the first time they try weed or call from jail for gods sake. My 16.5 year old as near as I can tell has never even been intoxicated and since he isn’t gone much might even be a virgin. By his age was banging everything that moved, drinking and whatever else I could do. I know he isn’t because it’s extremely rare that he is even gone on weekends. Hell his school in San Diego drug tested him and he was clean, no pot in the system (private school) Christ on a Pony these boys are up for Mother Theresa awards compared to what I was.

Looks like this might be a long-term project.

To get the Road-runner lightening service they almost bend you over to get cable. What I am thinking is we bite the bullet, let TW or the service techs run around installing outlets from the attic.

Later I start to build my HTPC, and figure out how to get it all networked.

My Roku seemed to die the other day and it’s not that damn old. I’ll try it again, but kid lost his Indians games and is pissed he now has to watch on the PC in the man-cave.

Also considering other devices besides Roku, and the more I investigate the paralysis-from-analysis I get, so no more investigating the best method to the point of 3 hours sleep, all so I save $50/month. I need to take this a bit slower, so I think at first we are just going regular cable. Uverse is available too which I liked in Carlsbad, but I hate not having the MLB network.

My issue really revolves around the fact that I still pay for MLB.tv, UFC fights and Netflix. Then I find between those three and regular network programming we pretty much get what we need. Sounds like if I get regular Cable into the house that ESPN3 will an option. Since the kids have small HD monitors, I can get the other one a Roku, and perhaps one for the main TV and spare. Still a bit of an upfront investment.

OTOH I think ATT Uverse has streaming to iPhone/Android devices? I guess slingbox would do that as well. Certainly even cable will get more interesting as they integrate to your smart phones but man you end up paying through the nose.

Having moved to Orlando, I am with Brighthouse and apparently Uverse is an option. Brighthouse appears to be Time-Warner.

I’ll go find some decent rabbit ears today I am about 10 miles from most of the network channels (fox, abc, nbc, cbs) as they are all clustered not too far from here.

I did figure out that UFC does allow the Roku to watch over Pay-Per-View. My kids literally only watch MMA and MLB as far as sports, everything else is facebook time. The wife is a harder sell as I don’t know if Top Model and the various cooking reality shows are out there. Still there is more than enough with Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon VOD to keep you occupied.
