We have an old tv & are not buying a newbie flashy type any time soon. DOn't need a newbie tv. With an old tv, can you not give it to a charity or something?

We don't need a new tv. Another mtn bike that fits (patiently waiting for next year..) & tuition are first.

SEt top box was cheaper than the new set of nicks we just purchased.

Unfortunately, in the US these old TVs no longer work; they are analog and all signals in the US switched to digital. I don't think any charities would be interested in them. There's probably a glut on the market anyway.

I like the idea of making a planter out of it!

Hopefully soon you'll have access to mine which is bigger, nicer and already digital compatible.

Meanwhile check earth911.org for a list of locations that e-cycle.

Some e-cycle drives benefit charities.

It's too d@mn hot down here today.

I've been apartment hunting and found 3 good choices. Do I want the nice duplex with 1.5 baths, a dining room, and some garage space? Or the 1-floor duplex with small living space but huge basement (with outdoor-only access)? Or the rustic house on the old farm (with a dirt-floor basement) from which I could probably ski 6 miles to work? The farm house doesn't have much room for bike repair unless I work in the musty basement, but the setting is wonderful.

I think you'd be really happy to have the garage space if you could set up a shop in it. Even though it sounds romantic, I'm guessing the farmhouse will be freezing cold and not very comfortable unless it's been insulated and has a good wood stove. Also, I'd be really reluctant to store anything in that farmhouse basement after my New England basement experiences. Your tools will rust in the blink of an eye.

I'd think you would want a happy medium; the farmhouse might not be ah, energy efficient. If you want the space to work, then get the smaller duplex with the basement. I guess it depends how much stuff you have to put inside the house, and if the neighborhoods/towns are comparable in terms of commuting by car and bike, and other amenities, like how close to coffee houses, etc.
