[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 360450, member: 6705"] Here's an interesting thing... When I was 14 I got grounded. Don't remember why, probably grades. No TV for a month unless someone else was watching, and then only if it was the news. Learned to live without. Got a 9" b/w tv/radio when I graduated from high school. Barely used it. Actually stuck it in the closet. Did get into the X-Files - ever watch something spooky on a 9" b/w TV attached to a HUGE (old fashioned) VHS VCR? LOL! One hour a week. Married XH, who [I]loved[/I] NASCAR. Moved with him to OK and started watching Dawson's Creek, only because it reminded me of home (BFF & J (his now-XW)). Came back. Lived without TV for months, finally Mom & Dad got a new one for their BR so I had a 13". It died quickly, bought myself a 19" cheapie (it's still going strong, in the computer room now). X-F and Difficult Child ended, I occasionally watched History or something I heard about. Usually only on for noise - and I have a radio and MP3 player for that. BUT - I had five jillion channels through Time Warner and paid out the nose for them. Switched to AT&T (as of YESTERDAY!), and don't have as many channels. Onyxx and Jett are really upset. Me? I haven't even looked at the lineup. Don't care. If they continue to complain... The boobtube goes buhbye. Grr. I can watch whatever I want on Hulu and YouTube. Mostly not interested. ...I have never seen a single piece of s Survivor or DWTS episode, and only about 5 min of AI. I figure - this isn't reality - not for me, not for most. I have an idea for a reality show. Stick 8 adults in a house with 8 of our difficult children. Let's see how fast they JUMP ship rather than get voted off. [/QUOTE]
