The line between bottom and middle third of the screen at eye level is the only way to go. Above the fireplace is reserved for small condos and folks who want their TV viewing to remind them of a bar. |
This is good advice. In our case the family room is part of one open area with the kitchen, where our main dining table is located. SO in order to see the TV form the kitchen area, it had to be higher, so bingo, it went above the fireplace.
But in general, I agree, eye level or slightly above is best for comfortable viewing and best image quality. |

I'm still trying to convince the Ol' Lady to let me replace the living room window with a huge monitor. Like 8' x 5'. We could mount a camera outside so we could still view the driveway, we could change up the views if we wanted. Jungle view, mountain top view, underwater view, in the clouds view. Kinda like that Soarin' over California attraction at Disneyland.
*sigh* So far, no go. _________________ sent from a phone using poor grammar and spelling |

Mrs. Cusser's wine refrigerator is this model. I picked it up Tuesday, it works, and is quiet. It will double as the base for the ice machine that should be here Friday.

I'll bet most wives have 10x more shoes than they'll ever wear.
Last week, my wife had to go buy some new shoes because she didn't have the "right" shoes for a wedding. I thought to myself - "She's 54 years old and has been to many weddings over the years and she's never had the "right" shoes until now?"
Kept that thought to myself. _________________ Oprn wrote: I'm getting to the age that any self propelled woman (no wheel chair or walker) looks HOT!! Oooo! look at that Babe! She made it from the dining room all the way to the TV room without help!! Hubba, hubba!! |

If I know a woman not to have any undies, I just stay away. I don't know what has been in there....
That is why I am working towards living fairly off-grid in near future. I don't want hassles from having too many fuckers living too close to me. All I want is some nice space where I can shoot my dinner running across the field. i don't mind raising my 'meat' that way. |

why is it when you go some where they bring those shoes that they cant wear....? and then say I have another set in the luggage or in the car...so you take time to go change thier dam shoes and...the same dam thing!!!! why is it that can not buy and wear good shoes??? are they that fucking shallow??? oh never mind. sorry for the rant. I took my wiofe to a trick running shoe shop and made them put good shoes on her feet...$140 lator we were back on the road...and she will only wear them when we go for walks...if the walks are planed in addvance....errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I give up... what was that saying YOU CANT FIX STUPID.
personally I haven't wore any woman's panties,....so i cant blame them for not wanting to wear them either so it dosent bother me....at all. |

Mrs. Cusser doesn't do this, but my daughters do.
Just look at the later part of wedding receptions: most of the gals are barefoot in their dresses, their feet hurt. Of course I always liked that look...and gals did get horny at weddings... _________________ 1970 VW (owned since 1972) and 1971 VW Convertible (owned since 1976), second owner of each.

If they say don't get them anything for Christmas, you still need to get them something for Christmas? |

And how you don't help decorate the Christmas tree but when you do, you don't do it right - you don't put the ornaments in the right place?

haha. I dont even bother folding her laundry or vacuuming anymore because she has to re-do them anyway. It's a waste of both of our energy. She's ok with that though. i never hear flack about not doing either of them because I tried multiple times before I gave up. |

Kinda like how mine always mows the lawn. She says she enjoys it. But I'm sure it was that one pass I made through the flower beds that one time.
