I think I forgot to mention that we finally had our DLP TV repaired last week. Yeah!
The service man had come for a visit the week before but discovered that his paperwork had our old RCA DLP TV listed so we had to get the company that we’d purchased the TV from to update their info with the service company so that the repair could be covered under warranty.
The service man listened to the TV when it was running and stated that it was the color wheel making all that noise – as I had thought. So off he went to wait for the paperwork to be updated and in the meantime he ordered the part that we needed.
A week later he and this grumpy older TV repair man showed up with the new color wheel.
I say the older repair guy was grumpy because he complained about everything. Our TV is in too dusty a spot apparently and he complained that there wasn’t enough light for him to work in and so on. Grrr … just repair the TV and go!
I was almost afraid to ask any questions. I did though … you see we have a really bad cable connection here. The TV company is working to update their system but they haven’t really gotten around to this area yet.
Our Internet is high speed cable as well and sometimes that goes out too! The repair men suggested we look into using a CAT6 cable as it cuts down on noise interference or something to that effect. Actually now that I think over our conversation I don’t know whether he meant we should use a Cat6 in our home or that the cable company should be using those types of cables.
Anyway to make a long story short our TV is now fixed. When I turned it on after they’d pretty much taken the whole TV apart to take out the tiny, yet noisy, color wheel the TV was just about silent.
The TV was noisy before that we had to keep raising the volume higher and higher. Now we can watch most TV shows with the volume level 5 to 10 levels lower than we had been before the repair.
Yesterday, just as I was about to take the dog outside to do her business the phone rang. I don’t usually answer the phone if I don’t recognize the number or caller ID, but I decided to pick it up. It was someone asking me to do a survey for our insurance company.
I didn’t mind doing the survey as we are pleased with our insurance company. However, as I answered the questions it occurred to me that it might not be a bad idea to call around or get an online auto insurance and home insurance quote from other companies just to see if we’re still getting the best rates.
I mean, the last time I really went around and got insurance quotes was 7 years ago when we were buying our house. Maybe there’s another company out there now that would offer us better rates.
It can’t hurt to check.
I’ve also been meaning to call our insurance company to see if they’ll give us another percentage off our home insurance rate now that we have a large breed dog. I’ve heard that some insurance companies consider a large dog in the home security so they’ll give a discount.
If you have a large dog have you tried to get a lower rate on your home insurance?
I’ve been a pet owner of one kind or another for half my life and you’d think I’d know by now how expensive pets are to keep, wouldn’t you? I guess I forgot!
Ever since we got our puppy in November I find myself shopping for things for her. Everything from interesting yet durable toys, to an indestructible bed, treats and so on. I bet our puppy has more toys to chose from than most dogs! She’s so spoiled!
I’ve slowed down on buying things for our puppy – after all she’s got most everything she needs now – however I don’t think my habit of buying her toys and other interesting items is going to totally go away so I might as well save some money by trying to find the best buy on whatever items I decide to get for her over at buy.com.
Yeah, I’ll still be spending probably too much money on our dog, but at least it won’t be quite as much as it would have been if I hadn’t shopped around for the best price.
