And the lead roll in a TV drama goes to.........



Last christmas I took on a nanny job for an adorable baby and the family that moved here from florida. They had a 51 inch tv that they wanted to get rid of it and they sold it to me for a couple hundred dollars so i bought it. Not thinking that the drama that goes into this tv would be never ending.
It all began with buying it, my roomate at the time wanted to help purchase this tv and we would then put it in our small living room. Then she backed out on the decision and so I bought it myself so of course I would put this amazing piece of furniture in my very small bedroom.Well my roomate was mad and decided to further give me drama about this stupid (but at the time amazing) TV so then I had to figure out how to get it there seeing as it was the size of a small dinosaur, moving it would be a challenge. We worked it out, moved some events and rented vehicles and ruined relationships for this tv I had to have.The night the tv was moved my dad had to take my door off the hinges to put my tv in my room. My father later told me that my roomate made some smart comments about moving her couch in her room because she bought it, ha ha ha I am still laughing about that. She is so funny. So then January comes and due to school I plan on moving out of the apartment and back in with my mom and dad.Guess what? the tv has to be moved again.This time not so easily (as if it was ever easy) My dad mike and brothers help move it. After they had hemroids from lifting it out of the truck we (ha ha WE) then had to get it in the house. Remember it is January and freezing so you can only imagine the drama. We get it (they get it) in the dining room and begin to take it down the stairs. they get to the bottom and realize it wont fit so back up the stairs it goes. At this point my mother and I are stuck in the basement because it is looking like the house was built around the tv it is blocking that much of the stairway. At this point I have really mad brothers a dad and boyfriend.My dad pulls out the tape measure something that should of been done when buying the thing apparantly and starts taking measurements of the doorway and the tv. He figures out that putting it on its side is a better idea and eventually down in the basement it comes. We all marvel at how we got it down the stairs and how big and cool it was (okay I think that was just me) I get the cable hooked up and watch it on a daily basis for about a week. One day while doing denice austin life size it turns black and white so I shut it off leave and come back and it is still black and white. I then call some tv repair places and explain that they would have to come out to the house because it is so big to move. Just last month I finally got around to getting someone out here and he said it would be 700 dollars to fix. So Yesterday we destroyed it. GOOD RIDDENS
