In today's newspaper (O.C. Register) one of the feature stories in the A & E (arts and entertainment) section was entitled..."The Artistry of Modern Islam."

Really??

You couldn't change the feature considering the events in Paris?

There was also a story of an All Muslim School in O.C. Maybe the paper should've put off these stories for another couple weeks. JMO

So, posting the story gets what point across??? Like I said I would kill all those stories for at least a couple weeks....put them on the back burner for now. I don't want to read about anything Islam,Muslim etc. now.

Stories for other than the first two sections of the paper are normally "put to bed" long before the day they are published.

If you don't want to read it----skip over that part of the paper.

It's hard to skip over big parts when I only get the Sunday paper.....it's suppose to be enjoyable. I can't cancel it because it's the only vehicle to bring my TV schedule. They deliver it only in the newspaper.

You do realize that your local cable company provides you with an online guide?

For Charter, you hit "cable" and then "guide".

It's the same reason I don't do Kindle.....I like a book in hand!! My TV schedule book is paid for separately from the paper .....but only delivered by the paper.

You pay for something that your cable company gives you for free?

My cable co doesn't give me a book of TV schedules that I can hold and I do it MY WAY !!!!

I also pay for coffee at Starbucks when I can make it at home. So what!!

Work smarter, not harder.

I canceled my newspaper delivery several years ago as I was having issues with my carrier. I wake up and the newspaper is on my computer. The best part is I don't get the circulars.

I treated myself to a Keurig last year and absolutely love it.

Adapt or get left behind.

I cancelled my newspaper a couple of years ago. By the time it gets delivered it is mostly old news with a lot of filler. The final straw was when they changed the format to about half the size and the paper wasn't even useful for painting or other secondary uses.

If I have to do some painting I will either go "dumpster diving" in our community recycling bin or will grab a bunch of the free weekly papers at the grocery store.

The best part is Sunday's coupons and ads!!
I'm on my 3rd Keurig. You were late to the party.(soft water kills them early ...like water heaters too.)
I schedule the entire week of recorded programs.......I do it at a table......on the TV screen is not a convenience for what I do. There are 50-60 programs we dvr. They all must be noted so Bob will get them all. Each day of the TV schedule has a sticky note of what is to be recorded.......some days have 3 sticky notes....Thursday is one of those heavy day.
It's our system and it works for us.

That really sounds kind of sad.

You live in the most beautiful part of the country yet plan your life around your DVR.

No, I plan my TV because I go to bed very early....before prime time begins. I don't miss the good ones like Scandal, How to Commit a Murder etc. etc.

I see my beautiful part of the country all the time. I don't have to account for my time or my interests to you.......Bully of the Bog!
