I have had this thing with always having a new TV...gotta have at least one new TV in my house. The big TV I have now is only less than 2yo but I'm already looking to buy a new one and I don't need it. I usually sell off my 'old' TV after I get the new one just so I can have a place to put it. One time I had two nearly brand new TVs sitting on the floor in my basement not being used. What a shameful habit I think.

@SilleeMee

Doesnt sound "shameful" to me.

I've been considering getting yet another TV, and having it on at the same time, as this TV, only having it on another, separate channel. Concurrently, watching both TVs.

I thought that was a bit eccentric of me,

*** until ***

..when visiting my beloved, elderly neighbors, they had Football on one TV, & Golf on a 2nd TV. Both husband & wife were interested, & watching *BOTH* TVs at the same time in the Living Room. And their house is by no means "hoard-y-ish" I thought what a kewl idea!! (I asked how they set their Cable up to be able to do that, ... (but i kind of went blurry with the explanation).

Or another time, they had Golf on one, Movie on the other, (in the Living Rm). When I happened to mention how kewl 2 TVs were, they showed me a 3rd TV (not on) in the same Living Rm!

And when she's in the kitchen, she has a nice, not too small TV on the Counter in the kitchen, watching it.

So, *wink* ....... it's okay @SilleeMee

Yes, especially Le Sueur.

Legend has it that she has this black stallion named Wawa (wah-wah) and she rides the Painted Desert with a very long chef’s knife and just splits all the peas. Yes, that’s how split pea soup came about.

Guard your Le Sueur because she will come for them.

I was born there and was there just last month.

I’m an Italian citizen and not a U.S. citizen. My husband, children, and grandchildren are U.S. citizens.

It's so beautiful over there. I have never been to Europe.

I have a dual citizenship. Japan and also the US. Mom was a Japanese native, my dad an American soldier who married her over there. I was born in Japan, left when I was 2yo and never went back.

My father originally from Scotland was a U.S. Army officer and met my mom in Italia WWII.

Because my father was stationed either in Italia and later in Deutschland -- I stayed in Italia (where I was born) with my Nonna.

My parent’s were not yet naturalized when I was born.

Then I married a Soldier and while we were stationed in Deutschland (many many times) I’d pack the kids on a train and we’d go to Italia to hang out.

One of my grandsons is going to school in Udine and living in the family home I inherited from my Nonna.

Have you ever watched Travels Through Japan on Create TV/PBS? Well, did you know that the Japanese actually invented bagels? Who would’ve thunk’d it! lol

@Malcontent @SilleeMee It also is funny that so much of what we consider "Italian" food is from New World food--tomatoes, peppers, corn products, etc. You wonder what it was like before that?

Sardines and tuna????? LOL!!!

Listen, when I’m watching Gourmet Holiday and they claim something is Italian, I go crazy. It’s not Italian IN Italia.

And don’t even get me started on pronunciations of words.

Eye-dahl-ee or Ih-dahl-ee. Mah-sah-rell-uh. Parm-uh-sahn. WTF is that? Those are not and never have been Italian words.

Okay, now I’m all worked up. lol

@Malcontent LOL!!! Goes both ways doesn't it? I'm sure Italians butcher a lot of English as well.
