Are these aerials still in the work? These were some good old days

yes we had one a few years back , but we had to switch to a satellite dish , I am sure some of the older generation still have them !

Am not sure why would someone still struggle with the aerials when they can opt for a much easier dish or cable tv, but those are some good childhood memories

yep we had just 3 channels to watch when I was kid, now there are so many , and mainly rubbish tv as well !

TV is garbage I haven’t had cable in years just internet.

depends what you like , I don't like those celebrity shows were there look into there lifestyle and there so called problems there have , total garbage

I feel the same way! I am over here like "who gives a shit."

I know like there have problems !

Howdy this fine Monday evening @winchestergirl42! well I reckon it's late at night there. I just took our ancient antenna down this year because we have a little dish.
I don't know if there is a conspiracy to distract us with entertainment from what is going on behind the scenes but I've heard that was the case.

I'm sure the elite who want us distracted are at least in favor of it.
why, what do you think? are you a conspiracy person?

well I keep a open mind , the world is a crazy place , I don't think we will ever know what goes on in this life time ! yes it is getting late here , it is so muggy at night now it is sometimes hard to sleep lately. I hear the weather is turning cooler soon x

hey winchestergirl don't ya'll have air conditioning over there? how hot is it there?

were I live its 28 Celsius some ares it has topped 33 , but there say its getting cooler soon, no we don't personally have air con in the home, I don't anyone who has , we just open doors and windows or people get fans

howdy back this fine Tuesday winchestergirl42! how is it going for you today? thanks for the information on temperatures, I had no idea. Yes, if it's that mild then you don't need air but it does get humid at night.

Do you have a regular job out in the real world?

how are you today ? as I write this it is about 19.51 pm , and still humid , well my husband works he has a little cleaning company he started about 18 years ago now , he window cleans , cleans outside of house /conservatories , jet washes etc , brings in some money only thing is sometimes it gets quiet , then hes rushed off his feet , I tag along and help him out sometimes , does your wife work at all ?

howdy again winchestergirl42! what are "jet washes" and what does "rushed off his feet" mean?

My wife is working part time for a merchandizing company where goes into discount stores called Dollar General and puts anti-theft stickers and devices on products.

But we had built a large real estate company in Ohio and ran that for 12 years before we moved here to Texas, been trying to figure out what to do since we got here.
I love small businesses and have run those most of my life but it's more and more difficult to make money with them these days.

One of the businesses we owned was a floor and janitorial company but we didn't do windows very often.

I forget people have not heard of phrases that we say" rushed off your feet" means busy and jet washes there are petrol jet washers I think you may have them over there !! thats interesting you used to run businesses , it can be stressful you know accounting and stuff. well least your wife has a job , it seems harder to get jobs nowadays

Yes aerial is a good invention for connecting people. I like the weather over the aerials.
Take Care. I hope you have a good day.

same to you x

We had those when I was very little then we switched to a 12 foot wide satellite dish.

sounds quite a big dish , did it have many channels : )

Hundreds. You see those dishes had a moter and it had to find the satellites in the sky to intercept the tv station signals. We had to punch in cordnance codes for each band of channels. Sometimes I would pick up a band all the way from Japan and watched the Japanese channel. I picked up a few Mexican channels too.
The odd thing was there was a rare planetary alignment that knocked the signals out for a while.
Back in those days everyone in my family had a decent job when the coal mines where open and that dish was about 4,000 US dollars.

  1. 000 dollars for a dish ?? that planetary alignment sounds intriguing

When they first came out but the price came down a lot. It was new tech at the time. I’m not sure if I was born yet when they came out. We had to replace the moter and a hydrolic arm costed 800.00

800 dollars to fix one , I would not bother !!!

At the time people back there had some money to spend because they all had full time jobs and owned the property for generations; thus no property or house payments. Too bad there is nothing back there anymore the local economy got so bad there people had to move to find jobs. I had to move away myself.

I reckon loss of jobs is everywhere , what do you do for work ?

We lived easy back in the deep mountains with no cable. So yes I can say I used to hack satalite dishes with long codes with a device called a descrambler that device was 800. Dollars. Lol after I learned to walk I hacked satalites lol

well I won't say anything ha ha x
