Hello! I am Bethany, a mom of 4 beautiful children, a owner of a dog, and married to a miner/hunter. (Camo is a popular color in our home). We recently relocated to the UP of Michigan from Juneau,Alaska...a huge adjustment. I have a passion for photography and documenting our journey through life. But, most of the time Im busy with my kids, hiding in the bathroom for peace and quiet, or trying to find my dog because he runs away all the time. Welcome to our world...always full of adventure.

SACRAFICING THE CABLE TV

Just a thought...but isn't it good to know how the economy is doing BUT not get wr
apped up, obsessed about it? Yes, I know the economy is bad, we all know that, BUT how much is it effecting your life? Do you think if the economy was good that we would all be doing the same thing?
Do we have a savings? Not a very colorful one, but I know we are starting one now.
Am I afraid? Job wise, a little. But I really feel like mining in general isn't too bad. Sometimes I think I should be afraid but it's because I watch too much news.

SO, HERE GOES, THE BIG CHANGE....
AFTER 3 YEARS OF HAVING THE WHOLE DELUX CABLE PACKAGE, I FINALLY DOWN SIZED TO THE FIRST 19 CHANNELS. You know, the ones that have soap operas on during the day, daytime talk shows, and sesame street for in the mornings. Lets not all forget, Saturday morning cartoons. Do you remember when it was ONLY the 6 channels? I feel really good about this and it saves us 80.00 a month.

POSSIBLE DOWNFALL? My husband might not be very happy because he can't watch the outdoor channel. Yes, this is what has kept the cable on this long believe it or not...nothing else, just the outdoor channel.

Yeah, the cable deal here really is a rip off.
But Andy's love for the Outdoor Channel doesn't surprise me in the least.

Way to go!!! I am also a little surprised that you didn't tell Andy first. Is this because you knew he wouldn't let you because of the Outdoor Channel? Have a great day.

No, It is because we actually talked about it a week before and we were both kinda on the same page. It wasn't until I got the bill and said, ok,this is enough, I don't want to pay all that money anymore.

Don't you wish you could only pay for the channels you use? Joe and I talk about this all the time- so many channels you never even watch. Cable can be such a rip off. Enjoy the extra savings!!!
