Cloros commercials.

I can't remember when we didn't play the TV audio out through our stereo. Must have been 30 years ago.

For WHAT?

Sorry, the whole digital transition is a sham to me, just like this current 'pandemic'.

[gfretwell]

Dunno but I get 2.5 gallons for 4 bucks and change. That is 5 gallons of Clorox. Maybe you can buy store brand bleach for a buck a gallon.

Same here and the CRT one I bought in the late 90s had a VGA in for a PC. My first DVD player was a drive in that PC. (a P-II with a video accelerator card). It went into the stereo and had my Replay TV connected along with a VCR.

The VHF band went to various commercial radio services and UHF went to cell phones as I recall. I do know they sold it off to other uses.

Those channel numbers on DTV are just an illusion, They have little to do with the TV channels we grew up with. One of ours is channel 11 which should be in high band VHF but it is really UHF along with the others. You figure this stuff out when you buy an antenna. A VHF antenna is useless these days unless you are just picking off FM radio stations from a long ways away. I was able to get US1 from the keys with mine.

Actually, here in the NY Metro market, ABC-DT and CBS-DT still use VHF-Hi(7-13).

Strangely, MeTV(virtual 33.1 in my area) also uses VHF-Hi, making it a bitch to get in sometimes(2-3 days per week).

You don't like lavender?

[rbowman]

Yeah, now you can tell if the makeup artist missed a few pimples and crows feet on the Golden Girl's puss.

[rbowman]

Might be able to find a Svetlana replacement.

[rbowman]

Money, silly.

My primary use for bleach is sanitizing hummingbird feeders. I'd just as soon use plain bleach. I've still got about half a gallon left, so I can be patient. And, of course, it's not hummingbird season yet, up here. Supposed to be 23 F here tonight.

No. Standard Clorox. Maybe what they use varies by the month, depending on what's cheaper. So when you bought yours will determine what's in it. Oreo Cookies used to go back and forth between vegetable and animal shortening, based on price aiui.

I plan to look at mine next time I'm in the basement.

[rbowman]

You sanitize them? Don't let my hummers know or they'll be demanding better sanitary conditions. Those little calliopes get upset easily.

[gfretwell]

I thought they were all off of VHF by now. It must be a legacy thing. Our channel 11 went to UHF a while ago. It still says channel 11 but that is not where it is.

[gfretwell]

Some of these people looked a lot better at NTSC resolution, that's for sure.

[Jim Joyce]

And you can see that Trump forgot to run the bronzer all the way to his hairline. It's hard to unsee that.

[gfretwell]

Yeah, that is ridiculous. We have a pool store in every strip mall and there are two on opposite sides of the road where I go. They still do OK. The guy who has the franchise for the store I go to has a $2.4 million dollar house behind me. Wanna buy it. He has it on the market. He is moving to a bigger one I hear. ;-)

[Cindy Hamilton]

Plenty of business in Florida for pool stores. Up here in the icebox, pools are a minus when selling the house, so not that many people have them. They're pretty much useful only between Memorial Day and Labor Day, which is a lot of money for not much return.

[Cindy Hamilton]

We are scrupulous about getting rid of the bleach.

I particularly remember one televised Christy Moore concert. I didn't really have to know he sweated out a couple of quarts of booze on stage. He looked like he was digging ditches instead of playing a guitar.
