"Convenient store", "convenience store." Never noticed it was different. Our one couch has a permanent ass groove from my hubby watching so much tv. He can easily watch 6 movies in one weekend. Or a movie a night and then some, while playing online Party Poker. That's why we don't have cable. If we did, he'd be unemployed. I'd have to scrape him off the couch from time to time. So it sounds like you use your tv time to unwind and reconnect. That sound pretty good. I could chuck ours out the window but the boy and the hubby would have withdrawals.

So I choose the life your parents had, and we don't have it. Well... I'm not quite as hard core as we do have a television and DVD player, but we do not get any TV reception; not even basic cable. Sometimes I wish I had it so I could host Academy Award parties, American Idol parties, Superbowl parties...etc,etc... But it's not worth the risk. I know myself too well! I would become the Blossom Reruns Junkee and I would hate myself for it. It looks like my poor kids are doomed to have TV addictions when they leave home. *sigh* I am very prone to addiction and I know TV is no exception.

I love my TV shows but sometimes I wish I watched less and spent my time in more creative ways. I at least try to be mindful of what NEW shows I let into my life. Long live Sayid! I voted for him on Mrs. Squirrel's site, and I stand by my choice. I feel the same way. I love my TV shows but sometimes I wish I watched less and spent my time in more creative ways.

I hate to admit it, but it's true. They always had the TV on and it always revolve what we did at home. I love my fair share of TV, but I also have loves of having the TV off and doing something else. Luckily, my family has found life beyond TV and occassionally turn it off to read books or clean, or listen to the radio. My family watched WAY too much TV while I was growing up.

In fact, this is the first time in several years that I've even had cable. I do like to have it on in the background while I'm beading, but otherwise during the day when I'm home alone, it remains off. I still haven't seen many of the shows that people reference in their daily lives, and I'm ok with that. The people at my old job couldn't find a way to relate to me because *all* they talked about was tv. Somehow my friends and I manage to have conversations about other things. ok, disconnected rant over. I don’t watch that much tv.
