My parents have 4 TVs in the house and it's only the two of them. :/

I only have one, too. But then I live alone and can't see how I'd need more (perhaps especially since I don't have cable, and just use it for my xbox and movie machine)
My folks are here and they are not sure what to do since they don't have 24-hr news to drool at all day. We only have one t.v., and no cable. We do have Netflix though.
Is it Hobo Monthly
Sweet! Our life is complete!
Does this mean they're going to cut your budget next year?
It involves turning stuffed bears into bait.

I don't have time to edit my shenanigans! 
Oh, that's a thing of beauty.
I went to get my hair cut today for the first time in about...10 months, and I found out it was long enough to donate, so donate I did! Since I was feeling good (and my head was lighter), I hopped over to the Secret Stash and loaded up on comic books, thanks to some Christmas money. Then I remembered I had a coupon for a free coffee at Starbucks, and since it was across the street, I treated myself to a cup!
If it wasn't so cold and the wind didn't beat up my face (and new hair)!

I think you may have just killed @GasBandit. Again.
It's actually a very serious medical condition. We're all praying for him.
I believe it's called Avery Syndrome. We'll hold a marathon to find a cure. Probably via Cartoon Network on Labor Day weekend. Jerry's Kids have hogged the lime light long enough.

But what a way to go.
You're so lovely.Ha! No, not brown. (Although I did ask if they did the dip dye thing. Not that I'm going to start dying my hair.)

At long last, it's finally over. The company will survive, the vendors will get paid, the employees will keep their jobs (I'm sure there will be some cuts, more as a restructuring measure than anything else), insurance and bonds will be re-instated. Technically speaking I'm still related to the owner of the company, but only for the next 24 hours, and only technically - until the full trusteeship takes effect, at which point, I become nothing more than an employee, like everyone else. The only downside personally right now is that my adrenaline level went from "oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die" to "this isn't so bad" in a matter of hours and now I'm just completely worn out.
Still gonna find a new job though.

I have a teenage daughter. Sometimes, she like to sit with the family in public places and brood in protest of having to sit with the family in a public place. Unfortunately for her, teenage brooding has no power against my ability to lip sync with whatever pop song is playing at the moment. My Taylor Swift game is on point.
Hard to brood when you're giggling.

My dad used to stick his belly out and make moaning sounds like he was in pain when my teenage sister acted like that. That would nearly drive her to tears. Ah, memories.
Ok, now that the gag order has expired - the company is in receivership. It is now owned by the bank, and has been placed in the hands of a restructuring group, which is tasked with returning the company to profitability, in the interest of selling to a new owner. If they are unable to achieve said turn-around, the other option is liquidation. They do not want to liquidate, nor do they intend to do so, but if the financials are irretrievably fucked, they may be forced to - and our financials are not pretty, obviously.
