My ex is helping me to get a new TV

Tweet

The TV I have here is a 42 inch plasma that I brought from the house when I moved. I had planned to take a different one (that was wonky) but my sister was like "F that we are taking the one from the bar!" We had a "Man Cave" in the basement complete with bar and we had that TV behind the bar so those who weren't watching the main TV could still see the games. So I've had it for these past 6 years after Darwin knows how many years at the house. The CNN logo and chyron banner is burned into it because it is a plasma TV. I actually even mentioned the CNN logo being burned in during jury selection earlier this year. I thought that would be a sure-fire way to get kicked off the jury. Nope. Anyway it has been flickering for a few weeks now and has likely served its useful time. I texted my ex to ask him to give me a recommendation for a new TV to buy. I am tech-stupid. This morning he sent me an Amazon link and told me why he thought it would be good. I was flabbergasted. A 50 inch LCD TV for $179? I remember when he and I paid thousands of dollars for that size. He said the bracket I already have should work. I'm just going to have to trust him on that. After the insane work day I got back here and texted him "thank you" and said that it would probably cost me more to hire someone to put/hook it up. He said he would do it. Interesting. . . We don't ever speak about what he is up to *ahem* but I've learned that he avoids seeing me in person when he is dating someone. So who knows what is up with him. I of course won't ask but I do appreciate the fact that he found a suitable TV for me and is willing to get it set up. It will be nice to see him even if it is just for TV setup. It has been a minute since we've seen each other.
