I've thought for many years that the flickering TV hypnotizes people and sucks the vibrancy from their lives.<BR/><BR/>I stay at home all day, by myself (and my kitties), and the TV stays off. In fact, I mentally curse and spit as soon as my husband comes home and turns the dang thing on. I could happily live without it.

I ended up spending more quality time with myself whilst she slept peacefully next to me without the aid of the telly.

When I lived in London (100 years ago it seems) I used to have such an active social life and I did so many things that the TV just didn't figure into the equation. It was rare that the ex-husband and I sat down to an evening in front of the box. Until League of Gentlemen came out, that is.Tamaraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06588239325265301779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21910560.post-35417246429360240662007-03-02T08:57:00.000+00:002007-03-02T08:57:00.000+00:00Does this mean that I won't be forced to endure an...Does this mean that I won't be forced to endure another episode of Desperate Housewives ever again???

At first I flipped out - I am a huge TV junkie! The first 2 days I was bored and went off to my folks to watch stuff, but after that I actually started to enjoy not watching TV. It is actually draining - I felt much more awake and energised! I read and listened to music and spoke to people on the phone (something I usually don't enjoy doing). I was almost upset when the TV came back! Sadly I have now slipped back into my old habits...dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657996382616170070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21910560.post-46707856776176922792007-03-01T20:07:00.000+00:002007-03-01T20:07:00.000+00:00Good luck, Tanya.
