I was gifted a 60″ television, something I would have never bought for myself.
It was older, which is part of the reason it was a gift, but it didn’t age well. It died this past week.
You don’t just “toss” a 60″ television though. It’s not really something you can leave on the curb, and there’s also e-waste recycling things to deal with.
Today, though, the TV is gone, and my life feels a little bit lighter. When off, it’s just this black monolith taking up space, mentally and physically.
I used the 1-800-GOT-JUNK folks, and they were great. Sure, a wee bit overprices for the TV and the other few items they took away, but it’s all gone, and the guys were super nice. Literally like, had a good laugh with them.
In a round about way, thinking less about televisions and “entertainment” and more about people. Bummer that it took the death of this giant TV to arrive at that place, but it was a good lesson learned.
Say no to gifts over 60″ in size.
