A major appliance purchase seems only logical during the Christmas season. The spirit of shopping is soooo  in the air. Numerous 0% interest offers. Companies are competing to dispose of their old stock to make way for the new. The 13th month pay and christmas bonus are readily available (unless your local loan shark get hold of it before you do!) . And the word SALE just seem to be embedded in everyone’s consciousness.

I’ve been contemplating on acquiring an LCD TV the past few months. actually the dilemma before was not whether i get one or not but rather what size i should get. 32″ seemed enough  early this year. but as Specialty appliance store displayed more of the larger variants (40, 42, 47, 50), the 32″ just seemed “not large enough.” I told my self early on … secretly (meaning just me yet … haven’t informed the wife of the plan!) that come hell or high water i’ll get myself one of these before the year ends. And here we are … with the year about to end in four days … and still no LCD TV … not even a crappy 22″ at that!

Guys … trust me on this one … little boys and LCD tv’s do not go well together. The more i look at my current TV and observe the punishment it takes from my almost two year old boy, the more i am convinced that i made the right choice of 1) of purchasing a CRT TV and 2)not upgrading to an LCD TV … at least for now.

For those of you smart alecky ones who’ll try to weasel out by saying i’ll just mount it on the wall … be reminded of the concept of a projectile. Even if you place that darn thing beyond your child’s reach … it still doesn’t stop them from hurling plastic tops and wooden vegetables just to see something disintegrate into a million pieces. Ahhhh … the joy of blowing up things! Your LCD disintegrating to be more specific. Your EXPENSIVE LCD!

Fathers and single guys who plan to be fathers … heed my warning! The end of your LCD tv is near. For those with little kids … it has arrived. You just don’t know it yet!
