I got a lot of reading done.Kitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16673726727402668186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30450596.post-38770317086266806812009-02-18T21:26:00.000-07:002009-02-18T21:26:00.000-07:00I have a small TV for my yoga videos and a few old...I have a small TV for my yoga videos and a few old faves like Mary Poppins and the Miss Marple mysteries. But we don't watch network TV because I have to buy cable to get even the regular channels out here in Nowheresville. Too bad, so sad.

She needs to watch her dancing shows while I'm at work. <BR/><BR/>Pam, yes, that's an apt description!<BR/><BR/>Vicki, I haven't missed watching at all, but I like to have the option, and to offer to guests.<BR/><BR/>Beatrice, yes, I can watch DVDs on my computer, so I'm not completely "deprived." <BR/><BR/>Betts, I haven't watched TV at home for years, so not having one isn't much of a leap. <BR/><BR/>I should clarify that I don't watch TV for several reasons. First, I work in the evening, so there's never a good time to watch. Second, I refuse to pay for television, so no cable or TiVo. Third, if I turn the TV on, I can't turn it off. i.e. I can watch crap for hours and hours. My solution is to never turn it on. And after about 15 years of that, I'm pretty much used to it. It's not a moral judgment, just what works for me.Kitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16673726727402668186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30450596.post-85020701527313666602009-02-17T19:11:00.000-07:002009-02-17T19:11:00.000-07:00Wow, no TV?

I don't), but "can't" would make me want it more.Bettshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266517579549649484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30450596.post-71215302927681188342009-02-17T18:16:00.000-07:002009-02-17T18:16:00.000-07:00I haven't got a TV either.

Weird at first, but now I'm used to it.
