Little things in life that make a difference...

Great topic, Rochin54! Over the years, I have had many times when I thought, "Ah, the little things!". Since my memory is in decline, unfortunately, I don't recall too many. However, one that does come to mind is getting comfy, sitting up in bed with the electric blanket on, putting on a good DVD, and drinking my fav drink! Yup!!!

And do tell, what's the drink of choice in the FANatic household?

Apparently a bed, DVD, and blanket aren't essential to the scenario, as has been mentioned here

Has ANYBODY found his pants yet?

Sorry I'm so late with my response, Rochin54. I'm simply just an unreliable sap! Actually I don't check this thread too often as I am kind of addicted (like heroin) to the women's soccer team.

The drink of choice in the FANatic household is, (sorry buddy, but I am the most boring person in the world -or so my wife and kids tell me), Diet Coke. In my younger years I drank enough beer for three lifetimes, until my wife saved me by strapping me to a chair and making me watch taped re-runs of The Brady Bunch for hours on end. (I know - many of you love that show. However, to me they're just a bunch of......!) She started giving me Diet Coke to quench my cravings until I was thorough addicted to the caffeine in D. Coke. She then untied me and we lived happily ever after. She's definately NOT allowed in the bed, however, when I am cozily watching my DVD's.

It's really not a "little" thing... but I finally just upgraded to HD with my cable. OMG! I cant stand watching crappy ol' analog any more...

Hopefully I will be able to watch some Pilots in HD soon...

Speaking of HD...The Century Theater at Clackamas Town Center (opened last Dec.) is all digital, all the time. It is AWESOME! Will Ferrell as a basketball player is funny, but it's even funnier in HD...

Pilot nut - this seems wierd, but I've heard it from multiple people, and recently a good friend who got HD about two weeks ago. He has never watched hockey before in his life (well, maybe occassionally). He said that hockey games in HD are just awesome. He won't become a fan of hokey to the point of following it, but he'll watch some games when they're in HD. Check it out.

Thanks for the heads up... I haven't seen any hockey yet (but there are a bunch of NHL pay-per-view channels!) I like hockey in person... ok, I like the spectacle of it, and the associated beer... but you know, in HD, you might actually be able to follow the puck...

Oh, and the DVR! Now that is cool!

agreed - dvr is probably the coolest thing ever. I got mine abouta year ago, and it's just awesome.
