OK. So yesterday I went through the indignity of filling out a TV rental application at Rent-a-Center. Jeez! Life for those without credit is dehumanizing. Doesn't matter if you have a wallet full of platinum cards, kids. You'll still need to provide four (FOUR!) personal references, your social, copies of your driver's license and SS Card (like I still have a hard copy), your vehicle make, model, and license number, and on and on. After turning over all this info, I started reconsidering my strategy on the way home. By the time I was parked in the garage, I'd decided to call the whole thing off.
For slightly more than the cost of renting a TV for a month, I just caved and bought a new TV for my bedroom. Sort of like Mexican ditch weed compared to a big bowl of Bubblegum, but it'll do.
Yep, I'm weak. I can live with that :)
