Re: No remote, no TV....
Dien --
I have no TV and haven't had one in some time. Okay I really have a TV but it stays in the garage stuffed in a back corner and covered with stuff so it's hard to access. We pulled it out after the tornado hit our town back in March to watch some of the news for instance. You are correct about it being a huge time sink. That is our primary reason for not having it. I have some observations on how TV affects children and their play but thats another story altogether. -- Dan Butler > Hi Julie.... :) > Julie, actually, I kind of know what you > mean (I think).... > I don't really need the remote control.... > There's often not much good on anyway.... :) > I do have some friends who purposely don't > have a TV.
