We didn't really watch a ton of tv growing up and always had plenty to do. For whatever reason, I still paid for cable for several months and then in December, we both realized we hadnt actually watched tv in forever! So, we cut it off and are saving that extra $30 per month. I do love some netflix though! <br /><br />Occasionally, if I really need Tripp to just be doing something other than asking me 85 million questions while I clean up or whatever (recall he hasn't really napped in almost a year now), and playing with various things on his own has lost it's appeal, I do let him watch a little on the computer. And as he zones out, I feel a little guilty, but dang... mama needs a few minutes of quiet, too ;)<br /><br />But, you know, the other day I was on facebook and felt so commercialized. My whole feed was just one ad/promo, etc after another. Granted it was wahm products for the most part, but I totally "unliked" about 50 pages so I didn't feel like I was being spammed to buy a million things.Mandi @ Living the Good Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09594574791226743086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432600533968414372.post-83753667094733915132011-01-27T16:51:53.253-06:002011-01-27T16:51:53.253-06:00mama, even if we had tv, we wouldn't watch Fox...mama, even if we had tv, we wouldn't watch Fox News.....Laura @ Our Messy Messy Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10036017218322694255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432600533968414372.post-64356562698436741322011-01-27T16:50:29.118-06:002011-01-27T16:50:29.118-06:00I still say there is good tv--like Fox News Channe...I still say there is good tv--like Fox News Channel--out there. Oprah has a new little sister that was given up for adoption, did you know? I saw the "reveal". Without tv viewing, visits to the Dearman house has few distractions. But I was raised in a house where tv was a new invention (like the internet to you) and was on from am to pm. We only had black and white and two channels. We always watched Ed Sullivan on Sunday night followed by Bonanza and on Saturday night Gunsmoke was the big show. Every morning I watched Captain Kangeroo before Miss Gussie, my kindergarten "teacher" picked all the kids up to go to "school" in her own car. Your daddy and I mainly watch old movies, Netflix and old reruns that we tape. Can't take the endless commercials anymore. Your choice is a good one, a little overreactive for us, but hey, you have always been your own little person with your own big ideas.<br /><br />love you,<br />MamaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432600533968414372.post-19641017142982540982011-01-27T16:48:04.847-06:002011-01-27T16:48:04.847-06:00Well, I have a lot to say about this one.

There is an agenda to make yourself and your children STUPID and sheeplike by watching too much tv and becoming conditioned.<br /><br />2. At that time Laura refers to, I must add, that we were technically, as MS Law dictates, living illegallyin Fornication by residing in the same domicile but not being married. I loved being the outlaw, but hten we got married.<br /><br />3. The only things I watch now, via the MacBook, are A. The Office <br />B. 30 Rock <br />C. The Simpsons <br />D. Father Ted, a hilarious BBC comedy created by Graham Linehan. <br />E. Just beginning to discover other shows by Linehan, such as "The IT Crowd" and "Garth Marenghi's Dark Place"Taylor Dearmannoreply@blogger.com
