Some days are wasted on sleep and internet. Damn I hate being sick.
"crash into me and I come into you". Just figured that one out...
Always wear protection, you never know what is flying around.

The internet is never a waste. Unless you watch nickelback.

There is some truth to that, but I have a shop full of tools and toys to play with. I'd much rather be out there, instead I'm in here coughing and hacking up my toenails.
Today isn't looking any better. 
You keep that creeping crud down there, ya hear? ^^
In reply to Curmudgeon:
I have quarantined myself from everyone trying to keep it out of the rest of the family. This might have gone past a cold and into the flu. High fever, and misery.
I think I'm on the upswing now. Maybe.
Poor man's creeper: If you're wearing a big wooly shirt and lying on your back on a smooth concrete floor under a car, you can move around easily by pushing yourself with your feet.
Cut my cable tv this week.
If you surf and watch tv at the same time like I do (or did), try podcasts out. It's like netflix without the video. It's a lot easier on the bandwidth since you're not really watching it anyway. So far it's working better than tv as it's what I want to hear and I don't feel so attached to the couch. I actually made a proper breakfast this morning while listening to a cbc show I love.
As for cable box alternatives, I have a roku stick, sony webtv, chromecast, "smart" tv, and maybe something else I'm forgetting. I dumped them all for a chromebox and logitech k400 running through my home theater receiver to my tv. It's darned near perfect as I can use any web service and don't need to rely on any premium packages to get content on a "channel".
I also have a "dumb" bluray player for movies and xbox 360 which I use once in a while for forza 4.
We cut ours almost 4 years ago. Now I almost don't watch TV at all. We have a couple of Roku boxes so the wife and kids can watch what they want, but I find myself leaving the room when they turn it on. I've found better things to do.
Sept 13th 2001 was the last time I had cable. That was the day I cancelled it.
I did break down and get Netflix last year. Still don't watch it though. Unless I'm sick and need something mindless.
I'll rent a movie every now and then, but I prefer books, radio, and the internet. In that order.

Big piece of coroplast works good for that, easy to clean and nicer to lay on too. Better than a creeper if you're on gravel/dirt.
I still have cable because of NFL games, sports analyst shows, and NBA games, in that order. When companies (especially ESPN) make internet packages where you can buy the channels you want for a small price, then I can drop cable, and they can be doomed, or they will have to do the same thing.
We cut cable. We have hulu and netflix, and sometimes amazon. It's background noise, and mindless entertainment when my back is completely berkeleyed, like it is right now.
I watch the first bit of TV (not including Blackhawks games)in 4 months. its gotten worse.
In reply to Appleseed:
My daughter in law, was on Wheel Of Fortune several months ago. That's the first network TV I'v seen in a long time. It's appalling the crap and the stupidity, of just about everything on there. 75% of the adds were for drugs, the rest were for cars or some inane trinket to cure some imaginary problem. Is the general public seriously that stupid? If so, this country is doomed.
yes
Yes was a mediocre band at best. "Owner of a Lonely Heart" was catchy I suppose.

Television isn't really playing to the lowest common denominator, I'll just say that. There's reasons that 16 and pregnant is more popular than PBS.
Well, I just read the end of this thread and got depressed.
In general, I likeTV pretty well. The quality of production and writing is better than ever before (if you are careful) and with DVR I choose what I want to watch from all the dreck out there as well as fast forward past the ads for things I don't need.
I was just thinking that if what is on our television is a good representation of our society, then yes, we are doomed. I've noticed even PBS is getting away from NOVA or This Old House and has way more cooking shows than it needs.
the only time that PBS ever shows music shows that I want to see is when they're asking for money … odds are they have no idea why I don't support them
Well, winter weather is predicted in Raleigh, so maybe we'll see some more famous internet pictures of cars burning tomorrow.
