I don't understand the purpose of having pillows that serve no purpuse but decoration. It literally takes 1 min. to take all the pillows off to go to bed and another minute to place them all back in order to look perfect(for who I have no clue). If you make the bed each day for a year that is approx. 12 hrs a year putting pillows on a bed that serve no purpose. Being the bonehead I am I decide to bring this point to my girlfriend and have her say "but the bed looks pretty". I have no further comment on the subject because it pains me to think about it. Time to light up a stogie and mess up the bed. haha I have run into this situation too Walt and it really makes no sense at all.

I was going to post the exact same thing you mentioned. I've taken my laptop outside plenty of times and enjoyed a smoke while watching something that is on DVR or a game that's on.

Often times I grill up dinner and have a cigar while the weather is nice. I think it would be nice during some of these times to be able to catch something that is going on, on television, outside using my laptop. While I don't see the slingbox as something that I would use often, it is definitely something that I would find extremely convenient for those once or twice per week occurrences where I could use it. -Walt Mike,

Example - my sister has to travel to Pittsbugh every month for a couple days and she is a HUGE Flyers fan. Of course you cant get the Flyers games in Penguins territory, so she was thinking of getting a slingbox tso she could watch the stuff when she travels for work. THAT is what it is good for. So to sum it up - if you dont travel a lot, I think your money would be better spent on more cigars or some more reading material, as you would get more use and enjoyment out of those ;) Mike If you travel a lot, Slingbox is good, other than that it isnt worth it in my book.

Did the research to make sure it wasn't a subscription service then started shopping around. I think it will be going on my Christmas list (and if I don;t get one, guess I'll have to but it for myself, lol). I’ve been giving more and more thought to getting a Slingbox.

If you dont want to be as mean as I am, give it time, she will probably get the shits of taking them off and putting them back on also ;) Mike Oh my friend, my wife tried this ONCE – lol

I just don't get the idea of having decorative pillows. My wife bought the same setup. I have to admit, the packaging company does one hell of a job cramming all that stuff into such a small bag. Another one of my wife's quirks is down in the dining room. We have a china cabinet that housed china that has yet to see the light of day. The china is a full set for 12 and it's been in the cabinet for 10 years!!! I told my wife that the day that she decides to use this china for anything, we should have a ribbon cutting ceremony. I sitll think you should get a Slingbox!! I have one and love the damn thing. TV whenever and where ever you are!! They even have an app for your Iphone / Itouch. Walt, I’m with you.
