So, there's an issue with our TV. Eric woke up this morning very angry. I guess last night he was flipping through the channels and on a mostly blank screen noticed something in the corner. "FOX 28" the station logo is being burned into our screen. It isn't bad yet. You can only notice it on a solid color screen and then you have to really look hard to make out what it says. You can see something's there, but it doesn't just pop out on every channel. Yet. It will only get worse. Now we knew the danger of having images burnt into our screen. It is a projection TV, but we don't really feel that we "abuse" our TV watching privileges. When we are home the TV is usually on, but we don't leave it on overnight or when we aren't home, etc. We do watch a variety of channels and shows, so I'm a little amazed that this happens. We watch Fox during the week for the 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. time block. Then occasionally another program, like American Idol. It isn't the only channel we watch and there are commercials, etc. so I'm really surprised that it's in there. We figure that we have the TV on from about 6-11p.m. on weekdays maybe 5 or 6 hours on Saturday and from about 12p.m.-11 p.m. on Sundays. That's a lot of time for the TV to be on for the 2 hours on weekdays to burn an image in the screen after 1 year. We're heading to Best Buy tonight to see what we can do. We do have the service plan, so they could replace the screen (costs about $1000), but I don't know that we'll want to do that every year. The point of having a TV is to watch it, so we don't want to worry that by watching the TV we're screwing it up. Or we may see if we can exchange our TV for a non-projection TV. This option makes me a little sad as I love our 55" Widescreen HDTV and can't imagine what we would replace it with. We would definitely have to get HD, but going smaller would be tough. Or we may just ask for our money back. How sad, I was going to send in the payoff this weekend. We'll see what they say tonight.
On another note. My temperature was 98.3 again today. Yahoo!
