That sounds more like schizophrenia than bi-polar disease. Either way, it's a sad waste of a life.
A lot of psychiatric drugs are so draining that people stop taking them because they'd rather be untreated than feel like the don't have the energy to move.

Where's the eggs & bacon?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Morning Ralph.
There's an egg there!
But the wait staff ate the bacon... 
and I enjoyed it too. 
Morning Jan
Well I'll be darn there is an egg. I do like hard boiled but not so much for breakfast. Please keep that in mind.
Hope you get to relax since it's Sunday.

I will take it under advisement. I usually don't even eat breakfast.... If I do I am starved by lunch time. 
I think I will get a head start on the week actually.... I can already hear Monday morning whispering "Go .... yourself!" into my ear.

Happy Sunday everyone.
Today's project is buying a new can of air. I hooked up the DVD player yesterday (after figuring out that I should use both red/green/blue and red/yellow/white cables -- without the yellow.) The picture is really sharp and nice but all it says is that it can't play this disc. I've been using my computer for DVDs since I moved the TV after tossing the couch so I'm hoping it's just dust. (If not, wow, DVD players are cheap!)

Hopefully de-dusting it will clear the problem. It has been my experience that DVD players are made to fail. Most of mine seem to last 6 months to a year. I have adjusted to this by buying the really cheap ones now.

I hate the new DVD and tape players. They don't have their own tuner which is why they are so cheap.
Since I have no intention of ever getting rid of my tapes, I started picking up some older VCRs so when I can't tape everything on the DVR, I can use them.

I dumped my tapes when my VCR failed. I have a couple of family that I need to get transferred but the others weren't needed.
If I do buy a new one, this (minor) tsouris was for naught as I will make sure it has an HDMI connection. Those cost under $50 for a name brand like Sony or Toshiba. I could go to $75 and get Blu-Ray but I don't need it yet and, by the time I'm ready to upgrade from regular DVDs, Blu-Ray will either be semi-obsolete or the players will cost $20.
I could also just translate all my DVDs to MP4 format and stick them on an external hard drive. The UBS on the TV will play them. But the idea of doing the complete Monty Python, among other things, is scary. (And you lose some extras like subtitles.)

Those damn HDMI cables can cost more than a DVD player. It's a huge racket!!!

Oh I so agree!!!
How's getting a step up on Monday going?
It's already getting harder to find a TV with the analog inputs necessary for a VCR player. By the time you buy your next TV they may not be available. If you really want to keep the videos, you should look into translating them:

example of combined units
MAGNAVOX | Blu-ray Disc Player, DVD Player/Recorder, VCR Combo
.... Setting up an elaborate monitoring system at the house, so that on Monday mornings we have a very good idea of where the trouble spots are. (I am whispering right back at Monday -- that it can kiss my ***!)
