The Pop of Death!!!

On Sat night, I was in the shower and heard a loud pop come from downstairs. I thought Haws had done something to himself... but it turns out that our plasma TV that we got for a wedding gift experienced "The pop of death". This refers to what happens when some wires get over heated and burst... the screen went completely blank and it appears that it is dead. The TV had only a one year warranty (we just hit the one year and 5 month mark), so we have to have it repaired or try to talk to the company into trading it in. Needless to say, this couldn't have happened at a worse time. We don't watch a ton of TV, but now I am missing dancing with the stars and the election coverage!!! I may have to get a temporary replacement until then. That, or I will have to spend some time trying to catch up on my blog. I am still working on getting some Puerto Rico pictures on here.

I hate that! But truth be told, I wouldn't be sad if that happened to our tv - it is super old!

I've secretly been WANTING our TV to die so that we can get a new one. I feel too guilty buying one when ours still works. It seems like the old ones never die and the new ones are so short lived. Guess they don't make them like they used to. I sound old, don't I?

That stinks. You should come over and catch up on all your shows. And I will be watching the election stuff all night so come on over!

That stinks. Our tv just broke but it was old and Todd was just itching to buy a new one. I hope we never hear "the pop of death".

I'm so sorry! I would definately try and contact the company that made it. They MIGHT help out...you never know, but it never hurts to ask!!

Oh, that is aweful! I would go crazy without a tv! All Jay wants to watch these days is FOX news, and honestly I am over it, so I take it back...maybe no tv would be nice for a bit.
