Jokes and Pranks

April 1 is always going to be a date that makes me paranoid. My family is always loving jokes and pranks, and April Fool’s Day is like the Super Bowl of practical jokes to them. Every year they try to out do each other on April Fool’s Day. The only restriction is that a person or animal cannot be physically hurt during or as a result of the prank.

Sometimes my brothers go to incredible lengths to plan out complicated pranks. I know one year my youngest brother plotted his prank for over a month and was able to get cooperation from several people outside of the family to help him pull it off.

Hawaii

My brother in law and his wife just got back from Hawaii. They went for her sisters wedding. I have wanted to go to Hawaii for so long. I really wish I had been able to go to, but it was not to be. Ah well, someday I will get there. I have some family of my own that lives there and my aunt always tells me to come and visit, but it is very expensive to fly there. Maybe I should make a Hawaii fund and put a little into it each week. That is certainly and idea.

My TV

Well I have been unhappy with my cable company lately. The package just really isn’t what I wanted and doesn’t have nearly enough channels for what I am paying for it. I am seriously thinking about direct tv for my home. I am hoping that the channel line up will be better then the cable one is. I have a lot of research to do into it, but I am confident that they must be better than what I have. I asked my brother what he thinks and he said it was always worth a shot. I can agree with that.

The dx3 direct tv I looked up seemed really good, but I haven’t called as of yet to see. I am still doing a bit of research online. I really want to be sure before I make any commitments. There is always a contract now a days for all kinds of stuff, even my cable. I need to know if this is so for satellite as well. I can see on www.dx3.net what I need to know as far as that is concerned. The call really shouldn’t take much time out of my day as most companies are rather efficient that way. I will call just as soon as I finish up work.
