"No Doubt" It's a Lie

My wife used the expression "No doubt" in a statement to me a short while ago.

It's one of the few times when I didn't get a feeling of irritation at the words.

Most of the time, when I read the phrase, it's in a context that I know consciously and unconsciously is false--a deliberate lie.

It's used in politics often to seek to force a response in the reader. 

If the statement is true, there's no reason to use the words "no doubt".

Watching TV

In our home we needed internet service so we booked with Verizon, which also offers Direct TV service and we took that offer too. It included 3 months free of some channels that only show movies. 

Result: I've spent more time in past 8 weeks watching more television than ever before, even when I was depressed. I just turn it on and click until I find a movie that looks fun. I have seen some interesting ones that I never would otherwise see.

But my wife dug out an old poster I drew years ago when our 2 girls came home from school and embedded themselves in front of the TV set. She fastened it to the front of our screen, for me.
