Cultural Adventures

Contributed by Maria Ruiz:

When my family bought a vacation home in Tucson, Arizona, I knew that, while we were buying in one of the most gorgeous and cultural cities in the country, my children would not wish to be without a television on their visits to the great southwest! I went in search of the best Dish TV deals and got the connection scheduled and made before we made our first trip back with the kids. There is so much to see and do in Tucson. I love God’s handiwork in the desert, mountains, and open ranges there. I enjoy the spas and art museums and my husband loves that the weather is perfect for playing golf almost every single day of the year! There is a lot of cultural history there and my children are being educated without even realizing it every time to head out for a new adventure. The food is fabulous and the people are amazing! I think we will truly enjoy the family vacations we have here and will create lasting memories for my children to carry with them forever.

Favorite thing to watch in HD (High Definition)

Movies are great, whether they are old or new. I love to see at least a couple of them a week. Until recently, I was behind the curve in terms of technology. The movies were relaxing, yet something was missing.

A short time ago, I signed up for HD television via www.direc4u.com. It was one of my better recent decisions. The movies are larger, because I had purchased a larger screen tv. Even better was the clarity that this system delivers. The service is virtually uninterrupted and the fees are quite reasonable.

Anyone who loves movies can improve the experience by taking these few steps. No longer does anyone have to see movies on a small screen without HD. The prices for all the packages are cheap enough for almost everyone to enjoy. With a giant screen your home is now a movie theater. Think of all the money saved by seeing a movie at home without the costs of refreshments, parking and movie tickets. You will have money left over to spend for other things.

Doritos, Television and Me: A Love Story

Thanks for the post from Darrick Moreno

I can't get enough of Doritos, especially when I'm watching television. I like to put them in a large bowl and balance them on my lap so I can reach them easily - both for eating, and for throwing them at the screen when a character does something stupid. Sometimes my crunching can drown out the words, but even this is a blessing when I'm watching something like reality tv. (I shouldn't have a channelsurfing problem when I have direct tv nfl network, but sometimes the remote is so far away...)

When I'm feeling really wild, I like to stock up on a variety of flavors and then mix them in the bowl so I can munch without looking. Every mouthful is an adventure. I can pretend I'm doing something exciting and dangerous, rather than camping out on my sofa with my pajamas and 200 of my closest ranchiest friends.

I can't remember the first time I tried Doritos, but they're a taste that's been with me my entire life. Combined with my favorite shows, they're steadily contributing to making me one happy, tasty, fossilized television owner.
