What a score...relatives staying with us was walking around the block and found a 50 inch sanyo tv that someone threw out. Works just fine. Can't find anything wrong with it other then no remote.

Some people are set in their ways(1 TV in the house at a time). They most likely got an upgrade to a bigger tv and didn't want this one anymore.

It seems we are a hoarders. We have 3 flat screens and 4 tube tvs(all working). We also picked up a 55 tv awhile back(free) but it went out a month later, then got rid of it.

Fair enough only wanting one tv in the house at a time but that doesn't mean throw something of use out, it could of been given to a neighbour, donated to charity, whatever. I can't stand it when perfectly good things are thrown away, maybe its coz I'm a poorby but I'm to cheap to see good stuff get thrown away.

I feel the same way.I have never lucked up on a television but I have saved many a nice piece of furniture,most of which I have been able to give away to someone who could them and a lot of my tanks were sidewalk rescues.

I-95 is a wonderful thing, ain't it?

Do you have an issue coping when the conversation doesn't surround you or some of your overly sensative feelings ?

He likes turtles.

I'm pretty sure he also wears a helmet and has to shower after he eats pancakes because the syrup makes him feel "dirty"

Hello; Might be best to let the relatives take it with them. Could be the TV was somehow left behind during a robbery. Maybe set down to be loaded and had to drive away quickly.
Or maybe like when an employee sticks something in a dumpster with plans to get it later. Seems someone found an good aquarium in a dumpster a while back.

hello; I have again pretty much decided to not respond to him any more. Tried that choice some time back but did not hold to it. I can not decide if he makes the posts with a full understanding about what he is doing or if he truly misses the point about so many things so often.
Anyway I made a few attempts to give advice that were apparently ignored. Not that I have any lock on what is best for someone else. My advice may be worthless and I understand that as well. It is just that any further attempts seem pointless.
