Which probably wasn't much, given that it's a cable company. We only
have the internet service, use an antenna for tv and cell phones for
calling. I don't miss the food network; got to be too "run of the mill"
near the end of the time we got it. A few exceptions, but very few,
compared to the amount of programming they offered. It's basically the
same with most other tv shows.

Very few kids turn up their noses at fries; tempura-ed veggies might be
a good choice. True, you still see veggie but if you can give it a fancy
or crazy name, the kid might like it more.
