Yeah, the Internet..me too, of course.
I just always wonder about families that don’t have TV. It brings up an image of Amish people quilting or playing cards by the fire. :-)
I guess I like the distraction, but only watch certain shows. I’m tiring of Fox news, my go to station, since they upped the Lib quota. Watched DWTS tonight, which I am embarrassed to say is addicting for me.
Off to listen to the Great One now as I drift off to sleep. AHHHhhhh...
Interesting that you can find so much good stuff on the Internet, L27.

LOL, me too

I never understood people, in the past, who didn't own a tv - I grew up in a heavy tv watching family - hours and hours.

Thing is, nowadays everything you could ever want to see or know (if you have high speed) is on the internet - now most everyone in my family (except Dad) is constantly on the internet in our respective homes- watching movies - tv shows without commercials - information - news - science - mechanical - how to.

I have books on how-to fix things and sets of Encyclopedias but haven't cracked those books in years - probably over a decade - because of the internet.

There's phone books we should throw out and those darn tv's - all 3 of them in the house....they are pretty much turned on for background noise in rooms (lousy radio signals) where the computer isn't

Should just wifi the whole house :>)
