HAVING KIDS

Guest post of the week by Bradley Guthrie

Having kids has made me really aware of how far behind I am when it comes to technology. I really wish I had learned all these things before it was do or die time but I guess now’s as good a time as any and it’s important that I’m learning now and not that I’m not already knowledgeable. My kids are really great about teaching me what I need to know to get by – they’ve helped me set up the TVByDirect and get a good wireless provider and all that and they even showed me how to work my new iPhone when I finally broke down and bought one. I can’t believe that me, I’m a smartphone owner, but hey, that’s what you’ve got to do to keep up with the times. I can’t believe how many things there are to know not to feel like you’re totally out of the loop but I’m getting there, slowly but surely and that’s what really counts. Right? Am I right?

JUST SAY YES!!!!

Every girl imagines their wedding day, and the girls that we see on "Say Yes To The Dress" are proof of that. This show is based on girls picking out their wedding dresses, except usually these are girls that could have probably any dress that they want in the world...

Makes me feel insignificant at times as I watch the show on my satellite TV that I got after seeing these Satellite tv HD Offers Prices , worlds away from the worlds these girls live in, but I still can't help but tune in every time the show is on. The show follows bride! s to be as they are on their quest for the perfect wedding dress, and usually they are girls that come from a lot of wealth or girls who are marrying into wealth. Usually, there are a few great, entertaining characters that come along with every episode; the bride, the mother of the bride and mother of the groom, sisters, cousins, aunts, and then the always entertaining staff that works with these girls, who usually don't hesitate to roll their eyes in front of the camera when they think the 'princess' isn't watching. It's certainly entertaining to watch the girls act like spoiled brats and basically stomp their feet and whine until they get the exact number of crystals they want on their dress.

Those dresses also give me plenty of good ideas too....

NEW YEAR'S EVE TELEVISION SHOWS

Thanks to Olga Quinn

Every year at this time, there is much debate over which New Year's Eve show to watch. People can't decide between the classic Dick Clark show or the newer but just as good New Year's Eve with Carson Daly. Carson Daly has been hosting this show for the four years it has been on the air. He has celebrity entertainment on at different locations throughout New York. His correspondants interview celebrities all over the city and they also interview many of the people who go to Times Square for the big celebration.

The show is a great mix of reporting, interviews and music and my family and I love watching it on our satellite television from http://www.bestchoicetv.com/movies.html. This show is mostly for the younger crowds and have musical guests mostly geared toward that. Dick Clark's show also features new artists but also has many of the older artists making his show a great mix of old and new.

No matter what you decide to watch, just having a great evening at home to watch the New Year ring in is a good way to start the New Year right. You don't have to fight the crowds at the celebrations in the city and many times your vantage point at home for watching these performers is better than you could ever have live in person, especially at New Year's.

A WARM AND SAFE NEW YEARS

Guest post of the week by Moises Henderson

It's New Years Eve and when we were younger we could go and party all night long, but we are much older now and even a littler wiser, so it's home we stay. We invite a few friends in and have a little get together of our very own. The food is all made, for the snacks that we must have, the beverages are chilled and the house is decorated for the coming of the new year. It just wouldn't be right if we didn't have our direc 4 u TV tuned to Times Square for the big ball drop. Having all that excitement in New York is just adding to the joy we feel in our family room. The music that is being played the biggest part of the night always adds to the party atmosphere. As the midnight hour approaches, we all settle in to see the magic that happens, when that beautiful ball finally reaches the bottom. A little hugging and a few friendly kisses is a way our friends spend the welcoming of the New Year. Safe and warm with the ones we care about is the best way to start a new month and a new year.
