  • Flat Screen TV

    Flat Screen TV
    Throughout the years, my mom switched out every tube TV in the house with flat screen TV's. When I moved out on my own to go to college, I got stuck with all the tub TV's again (which was extremely painful to move them). Once I could afford TV's I upgraded to all flat screen TV's myself. I now have 3 large flatscreens, one in every room. (have gotten a lot cheaper over the years)
