Screwing around with the Boy in the living room I toss a plastic ball to him toss it high he misses it hits the plasma and POP.
Not a crazy expensive plasma just a 42incher, but over 700 and as a result I have no budget for cigars for the next few months. You would think an adult with a fair amount of education would be smarter than that. Nope :td Texted the wife and she is pissed to put it nicely. In the middle of refing the house. No spare money.
UUUUUUgggggggh Today has become a very bad day. Had to move the little bedroom tv to the living room and here my son ask me 20 questions about why I did that and how I should have been more careful. Nothing like getting chastised by a 4 year old

That sucks, dude. My LCD screen has absorbed a few hits from my 3 year old throwing various things. Scares me every time.

A friend of mine who owns a TV shop has told me the number one cause of broken flat screens is people hitting them with their Wii wands while playing some damn game. As nice as these new plasma/LCD/LED screens are, they are much more fragile than the old CRT ones.

FU Vin!
Al we have a strict no stick puck rule in the house do to previous breakage of items. Again you think I would no better. We still like baseball over here.
Tom I guess its a good thing I made those 2 orders last week. What sucks is I foynd a different Oct 05 box and am thinking I may sell the siglo 1 oct 05 box and something else to sneak the purchase in.
Not to mention the 500 deposit on micahs hockey fees. Dont worry Al hockey goes above all luxuries in this house.

How come she's pissed at you? HE'S the one who missed the catch. I'd take it out of his allowance for the next 18 years. :D

Mike, I have a Phillips 32" flat screen 1080i CRT TV with remote in the garage doing zilch at the moment. When are you free to get it to your place for at least a temporary replacement?
Edit: P.S. You're not stupid for this. Trying to have fun with your kid/s is a very intelligent thing for a man to do. It's okay to sometimes make mistakes when this happens. I bet your kid will remember the good time you guys had playing ball in the house up until the crash. You can't buy good memories like that.

Thanks for the offer mario. We dont really use the bedroom tv though so I should be good. If that changes I will hit you up.

Wow I probably shouldnt say cause I am trying to slow down, but I would say 50-60. That said I dont have a big collection because of having little kids so I smoke most of what I buy and had just started to put some down. Will need to slow down to save some stuff. Wife just reminded me I wont be buying till after january now. We have a birthday next month, more hockey fees, both vehicles registration, wedding anniversary, christmas, and I am sure some mini emergency will occur so now it looks like it will be 3-4 months for sticks or tv if I want to get tv january
Dooooooood :(
I feel for you.
Serious man I stood there for a while just looking.
Just let me know. You know where I am if you need me.
I know, but I like to keep you in the closet
