Pray for me

[JD GUMBEE]

Mrs G has the flu.
Our bedroom is my office.
14' from our pillows, at the foot of the bed, is a 60" TV sitting on a base 7 feet high.
(We have 12 foot Southern ceilings.)
Full surround system/subs all set up for bedroom movies. Central movies feed the TV without DVD's...etc etc.
It's rather nice to watch TV with too.

So why pray for me?
Remember Mrs G's flu?
Well, since 7AM, "Americas Got Talent" has been thumping away as I try to work.
To me, this is similar to fingernails on a chalkboard. Coolios "Gansters Paradise" should only be done so many ways.
After that, mandatory sterilization should be enacted. (Or euthanasia.) (Maybe mine)
*sigh*
Maybe a little early Nyquil will knock her out?

Ever thought about getting a set of wireless headphones to go with that setup for solo watching? I have a set here, so we can each do our own thing without bothering the other.

Nyquil? You can tough it out. LOL

Bose noise canceling headphones. Mine work awesome!

They do work well...but not on the bass.
...and so much of that cheesy crap they use on the shows is bass-heavy.
Thumps for every artificial "here comes something awesome" intro.

Fever broke last night and she is happily consuming cough drops now...in the living room.

Womerns do love them talent shows. There's no understanding it.

True enough.

It isn't the performers fault. Some of them are truly amazing.
It's the "hype music" and the forever-lingering introductions with the same clips over and over and OVER FFS, how many are enough??

If someone edited all the "hype-media" out and sold only the performances, along with 15 second intros (like, "this is Jim. Jim is a government worker on a landfill in Flint, Michigan who fancies himself a bagpipe expert...") in a condensed season-long DVD, it would likely be a best seller. (Even if some of the performers were doing that Coolio song. LOL)

Time to listen to some Weird Al now.
"Cause I'm FAAAAT, I'm Faaat, you know it...SCHAMOUN."

I am a woman and I don't love them. I much prefer watching detective shows, shows about history, shows about making and building stuff and using tools. Shows about boats, airplanes, fishing, travel, etc.

What there is no understanding of is putting people into a definitive gender box when it comes to their likes and dislikes.  When I see men putting up such responses it make me think....boy has that man led a sheltered life with next to no interaction with women.

My wife is also one of those exceptions to the talent shows. In my experience though, women prefer them to men and yes there are exceptions on the man side too (not me, I don't like them). Generalizations are just that, generalizations and it doesn't include each and every one.

You're causing me to have flashbacks to when I used to be married. I had a home office so when my EX-wife was home from school she could find all kinds of things I could do 
"Because I wasn't busy".  I feel your pain and am praying for your sanity.

Or just...no interaction with social justice warriors with chips on their shoulders. That might be why too.

After all what Mrs G has done for you. You complain about her having the flu.?

I thought I complained about Americas Got Talent and the stupid intro music they overplayed.

Haha. It also mislead me, not until I read it again and the other comments. Well, good luck to you. You can talk it over to lower the volume and use headset with mic cancellation.
