Comment from Vanessa Newman
Have I read this before? Just kidding! Love these lines: " eloping four-footed baaa-ride," and this one: ""Best-Man" Chuck--my "co-tube-r"--"
Language needs to be played with and clearly you can. Keep it up, so I can read more.

The author is smart to chose the title of "How well I remember." This title allows the author to come up with any stories. In this one, the author chooses stories related to TV. It is very interesting to follow the story. Good writing.

Comment from Liz O'Neill
This has a sense of a genre of a stream of consciousness. I do love that technique. My favorite is in Jack London's short story To Build a Fire. This theme will draw the reader in to reminisce about their tv adventures. My partner's tv eventually gave out. It was the kind with the big part in the back. It knew I would want to keep it as long as I could so when it went, it flat-lined. Literally. The only part that came on and lighted up was one thin white line. If you peaked inside that line you could see the picture of a bit of the show. So, I had to cave and got a refurbished $80 medium-sized flat screen. After I figured how to hook it up, it has been working for 5-6 years. This was fun.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
I enjoyed your fun post, Liz, although the break-up of your marriage wasn't fun. You did a great job with the details of the old tv vs. the new one and the WC Fields scene. I like your comment in the notes about your brains.
[ I knew he'd love it as I did. (add pace after period)It must have been thirty years since I'd seen it last; I was so looking forward to watching W.C. frolic with a sheep-in-bride's-clothing.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Another great piece that uses this central figure of the TV set to conjure all kinds of experiences; memories of a dysfunctional marriage, past laughs shared with your dad, even the relationship of your daughter and her boyfriend. Everything is connected through this TV set, and I find this use of an object, a common thing in everyone's experience, as an interesting vehicle for commentary on our experience of life. Told again with your usual wit and word play that is always so much fun to enjoy. estory

I enjoyed reading these as they are well written and also because I have had to 'eat crow' a few times myself as I remembered something a completely different way than how it was in reality.

I did not take your advice and go watch the Chickadee movie but at some point I think I may have to to truly understand the second part. Regardless, I thought the writing was irreverent. Great work and thanks for sharing, later daze.

You did a good job writing about the possible scenarios you may have remembered with improvements here and there, either simplification with the TV, or creative embellishment with the W.C. Fields sheep and goat scene. It seems the human brain likes order and organizing its own memories. Funny pun with 'baaa-ride."

Ha, ha, ha another funny and entertaining story by Liz:) Passages that I found to be hilarious:"
When I got married to Mr. Wrong #1, on July 8, 1979--a date that shall live in infamy-'", "It was a no-lose deal. Free trial, return shipping at no charge. "Best-Man" Chuck--my "co-tube-r"--was curious to compare the performance of the oldster to the middle-ager. " Thank you for sharing,
