Cord Cutting

I am not one of those who must read the book as soon as it comes out or watch a movie as soon as it comes out. I have read all the Sookie Stackhouse books and never seen an episode of True Blood. I have them requested from my local library and even though I am the 51468751 person in line, I will be pleasantly surprised when I get an email from the library telling me my request is in. I do not subscribe to movie channels and I have never paid for Netflix or pay-per-view. I have not rented from Blockbuster in over 4 years. I borrow movies from the library or rent from Redbox ($1) if I want to watch a movie at the last minute and don't already have something picked out from the library. I borrow books from friends or the library. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE books and movies; I just don't want to pay for them.

I have been reading more and more about people "cutting the cord" aka cancelling their cable subscription and watching their favorite shows online. I love it. There are cords that you can connect from your computer to your TV so that you are able to watch your favorite shows on Hulu.com or cbs.com on your TV screen. I hate cable companies. Hate. So I'm all for it! I can get Backyardigans, Max & Ruby and any other kid shows at the library - for free. I can watch Survivor online. The problem: football. Sigh. I'm still working on that issue. When I sort it out I will let you know. Until then, I will support all cord cutters!!!
