The ones on E-bay are Le Mutt's girlfriend, Fifi. Yesss, he has a woman. Department stores used to carry them, but I just can't find them now.

(Your post just now reminded me of our neighbor when I was growing up; he raised field champion beagles and used to tease us whenever we'd call them anything but.)
Maybe Fifi could cross dress in a pinch..

May I ask if you have analog or digital? I still have analog, as I didn't want to have another cable box. But, it looks like soon they'll be all digital anyway. Is your service as bad with digital as mine is with analog? I ended up contacting my Councilman last year to get him to take action.
Just like Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria!Quote:

BTW, do you have analog or digital?
Thanks
Isn't everything digital since the FCC eliminated analog TV in June (or July? It was supposed to be February but was delayed.)? Regardless, I have TWC: "local basic + expanded cable." It doesn't require an additional box, and it doesn't have the premium channels nor what's in what they call "digital cable." I really haven't had any problems with them; whenever cable's been down for whatever reason, even a power outage, I give them a call, and they pro-rate my bill (give me a discount) for time lost from service. (Which is nice, since my high-speed Internet connection is from them as well.)
I have digital cable-- I thought we all had to convert by a certain date?Quote:

It was fine for the first few months, but then we started having these incredibly random (not weather-related) service outages which would last for up to 12 hours or more. Once it went down, it was always, always down for the night and it was always both cable and internet. I used to go through FORT withdrawal! Those became more and more frequent until I switched to Time Warner, which has been much more reliable.
Interestingly, I mentioned the Time Warner-FOX negotiations at home and my mom said that as of Jan 1, Cablevision ceased to air the Food Network in our area. On Sunday mornings, she likes to watch Giada De Laurentiis and Barefoot Contessa while she irons, so I hope for her sake it's back soon. But it's not just TW in negotiations, it seems.
