Diva just e-mailed me that she and Ms. Selfish want to pool their money and buy a TV for Mom. Um, did I not just get a COLLECTIONS call for Mr. Selfish? Because I think I did! Which means they should be paying their BILLS. But I digress...
Mom refuses to get cable. I don't know if she ever bought that converter or not, because she lost the coupon she had for it.

A new TV wouldn't need the converter.
There is no way Mom and Diva are capable of mounting a TV on the wall of their apartment, so I am not thinking a flat screen would be very practical. Not to mention that there ISN'T a blank wall for them to hang one on to begin with! Mom has a houseful of furniture crammed in a 2 bedroom apartment, so blank walls are scarce. Right now her TV is on the counter, and I imagine that's where a new one would end up, too.
She had a big TV when she moved to KS. It was in the trunk of her car. But she wasn't able to get it out of the trunk. Apparently it shifted after she put it in there, and sort of got stuck. So she drove around with it in the trunk until it broke, then she took the pieces and threw them away.
Diva wants to buy a TV and surprise Mom, or give Mom the money to buy a TV. If they give her money for a TV she will NOT buy a TV. She will say her TV is fine.
I shipped a box to Mom on Monday with her Christmas stuff in it. I wasn't planning to spend more than I already have. I flew up there three times this year. I have sent 2 boxes since she started chemo, I gave her an extra little present on Thanksgiving and took her out for dinner. I am FINISHED. Diva and Ms. Selfish can do whatever.
