> Now for the funny story. Saturday night rolled around and my

> air stations. So... I plug a cable lead into the TV and hang
> the other end over the boxes that are laying all over; the
> signal starts to come in! I go grab the cable to give it a
> jolt, signal comes in better... I accidentally touch the
> copper wire sticking out, signal is crystal clear with great
> sound! What the heck! Anyway, once this was discovered we
> just took turns holding the wire for perfect reception via
> the air channels and our Saturday turned into a funny
> evening. We kept trying to position the cable over boxes,
> around things.. it was pretty funny.
> Yesterday my cable was finally hooked up so all is well now.

> A few random discoveries...
>
> Moving sucks, period.
> IKEA is awesome.
> Comcast always messes up the bill (charged me $100 too much).
> Forgetting to set the A/C to auto means 60 degree wakeup
> temp... ooops. U-Haul has the nastiest trucks ever. Slicing
> your hand wide open carrying a 36" TV makes for a mess.
> Eating dinner at a makeshift table constructed of cardboard
> boxes and an ironing board is the only way to dine
