I can get 2 channels with rabbit ears in my bedroom, for news and Law & Order SVU. =) I do not miss television and when everyone else is freaking out over who is getting voted off of Idol or who the Biggest Loser is this week, I can happily shake my head and go pick up the book I'm reading or yes, go color or play with my children.CMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229985746554244184.post-25301936105314512252010-02-04T19:09:38.010-05:002010-02-04T19:09:38.010-05:00right there with ya!

We loved not having all the temptation to watch tv for hours on end.<br /><br />(by forced on us I mean they signed a contract with Time Warner to provide cable for every apartment for a nominal fee which the complex would pass along to us - and we can't opt out of it. Nice, eh?)Amanda Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714513990957744423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229985746554244184.post-39633834089186930252010-02-04T11:58:17.739-05:002010-02-04T11:58:17.739-05:00amen sistah!amen sistah!Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04689724207043206712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229985746554244184.post-78577842065963647042010-02-04T11:22:38.749-05:002010-02-04T11:22:38.749-05:00This is such a great post.

I also think that it gives you more opportunities to spend more quality time with your son. I hardly watched TV when I was little...I loved being outside more. More kids need to be raised without video games, computers, and tvs.amberhttp://squashcakes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
