Oh dear, is it on its last leg?

Timing, it just seems to be everything doesn’t it?  I think the television in our bedroom is on its last leg!  Can’t complain really its pretty old, nothing big really just one that sits on hubby’s dresser but lately has been helping me fall asleep a little better.  I know they say you shouldn’t watch television when you go to bed, but honestly its the only time I watch it and it does help me fall asleep.  Problem?  The remotes won’t work.  I tried putting new batteries in, reprogramming two different remotes, like the one that we use with our Uverse box too, nope not catching the signal and sometimes the sound will go real loud and then all of sudden poof, no sound.  It’s not that I am lazy but sort of defeats my purpose watching it because by the time I get out of bed, feet hit the cold floor and walk over shut it off, get back in bed, which is no longer warm again, well guess who is wide awake again?  I been looking at the prices of the Samsung televisions, we have an Emerson and well if we do get another one once we pay the IRS (hacking a hairball), I don’t to get another Emerson.  I know hubby he is going to want a LCD flat panel and maybe mount on wall and I don’t want to do that.  I like to move our room around which I am just about ready to do once Spring hits!  During Spring to Fall I move our bed and we sleep on an outside wall (window above us) but in winter time I move to the only inside wall we have, which has the main bathroom on the other side and lets just say my daughter and dad are not very quiet when they are in there, but the outside walls are just too cold for my head to sleep so that is why I move anyhow!  Plus I like change.  So I don’t want to mount on the wall.  I would be happy with an older style really!
