Bouncing back; LCD TV vs Plasma TV

Trying to pick myself up from news of the illness of a loved one just has not been easy for me. Whether it's God's will or another example of Murphy's Law, something I did not want to happen will, indeed, happen. Because I have made it a practice to divert my attention from serious problems by going shopping, for whatever length of time I can, I 'went shopping.'
I've been contemplating purchase of a new TV (when I do get it I will buy it from 'Best Buy' so I know I'm getting the best price) for a little while now. They have an unbelievable selection of both plasmas and digitals (LCD's).
To my unsophisticated eye the picture was very similar when viewed at a shop, and frankly, with the plasma being slightly less expensive and the LCD being lighter and easier to wall mount, I'm still debating with myself which one to get. I'm not thrilled with the mercury used in the LCD (although very slight, and although virtually all high efficiency fluorescents also use mercury) while the plasmas use a neon - xenon inert gas mix to carry the electron charge. Also, at least for the moment, the plasmas are available with 65" screens.

Whatever you decide, perhaps you'll let me know.

Illness, Death Sentence, Guilt

Guilt can be a paralyzing problem, its power completely preventing a person from doing not only what he likes, but even what is necessary. When illness invades either the individual or his/her loved ones, it can virtually immobilize the person. Our best intentions and efforts can become pure drudgery, requiring Herculean labors to again perform them.
So it is with this blog as I try to 'come to grips' with the 'death sentence' of a loved one, while continuously asking myself if I did anything wrong, or if I could have done anything more to have prevented the problem,
I'll keep you all posted on the outcome.
