K. So the only two things so far I've understood ITT is Little Einsteins>>Kratts. Not a knock coot, but Rules kids are grown and little Einsteins themselves, so I gotta go with his call on this one.

I'm still getting mixed reviews on 4k vs 1080p. I'm leaning towards 1080 though because it sounds like it'll be a few years before the 4k really comes into play (if ever). And in a few years im sure I'll be getting another tv. Sound about right?

A tv geek told me the 4k is not worth it because The lag you get in other high def tvs is mainly provider lag so opted to not get one. I agreethat xfinity is the at the head of the pack on internet. I was able to stream on 4 tvs 4 phones 2 laptops a desktop and 2 tablets and it never skipped a beat. Do your research and buy your own modem and router and you'll be happier.

actually...this article from a CNET guy talks about how 4k may never take off the way we think it "should." As humans, our eyes in relation to brain compute are only capable of so much.

He says, at the beach, look at the sand around your feet and start to count individual grains...look 10 feet out and try to count...

Today is my first day drinking day pretty much all fall. Used to have at least 2 a week with Sunday an all day event. Kids are amazing! Wouldn't trade it for the world.

Had two beers with thanksgiving "dinner" and then went to shoot some guns. My son shot a gun for the first time. He fricking loved it. I can't wait until he's old enough to go hunting with me.

Had the same dilemma about two months ago and decided on a bigger HD TV than a smaller 4K for the same price. There won't be a ton of 4K content out there for a while and you really do need a big screen to tell the difference. The big TVs in 4K are still really pricey but if you can get a great deal on one, go for it.

3. He shot my 22. He pretty much just pulled the trigger while I held it.
