Ok, so we don't have Tivo or a DVR system or cable. I know we are in the stone age and we are fine. We have a converter box, and we are fine. But, we still do it the old fashion way and last month our VCR died on us. Yes, died on us. We went searching for an old vcr that someone would want to give away. You can't get a VCR without a DVD anymore, at least that I could find. Then Jason realized that in storage we happen to have one that his parents used when he was growing up. So we started using that one. Well, the other night we realized that we needed to figure out if it could be scheduled to tape a show, our old one did it. Again, it is not like the Tivo where it is automatic, we just have to plan ahead. Again, no worries. We finally found the right button, oh did I mention that if you want to rewind the VCR that you HAVE to use the remote for some reason the company did not put a rewind button on the main part...oh and none of the new remotes will sync with it. That should have given us a clue that is was old, and again I wasn't arguing with that...but when we went to enter the year it would not read '09. Jason did some math and figured out that 1998 was the last year that January 20th was on a Tuesday. So if you happen to look on our VCR you might be shocked to see that we are living in 1998. Hey, whatever works. We can program for the right night and I will get to see LOST tomorrow even though I will be at youth group.

That's really funny! We are VCR people, too. We do have a DVD player, but not a DVR or Tivo. We're cheap like that.
We used to have 3 VCRs, but we are down to 2. The 3rd one we got rid of when we got rid of that TV and the VCR didn't always work anyway.
We are looking forward to Lost as well!
