Yes it was a big sigh and that's why I happily pledge every year and encourage other members to do likewise, provided they would like to help keep trf up and running

If you think the TRF switch being turned off is altering to your habits, try switching off cable TV. I canceled my service April 2012 after yet another increase. The first two months, when I was used to hearing, "Go watch TV; dinner will be ready in 15 minutes..." were the worse.

But I got over it.

No news, no CNN, no sports, no streaming, no broadcast. DVDs from the library and Netflix. Books? Yes.

I agree. There was a big accident close to home a few weeks ago and our internet service was down for 4 hours; I was almost tied and thrown under a passing train by family!
