If I didn't watch tv, I'd read, sew and do needlework.

We haven't had TV in our home since March 17, 1994 when our oldest was 15 and our youngest was 6. Several of our five kids have thanked us for pulling the plug. We can watch movies, but have no TV reception. With all this “free time” we read, do projects, visit with each other. It is amazing to see what has happened to TV and commercials in 14 years.

As a child, my dad would only let us watch 2 tv shows a day…Everytime we watched a tv show or movie we had to discuss it. I thank him for that. Now I'm a much more social person…..and I think challenge the status quo. U should never let someone or the tv tell you what/how to think. Think for yourself!

Socializing. talking. hanging w friends/family. churching. spanish class. working out. emailing. myspacing. facebooking. therapizing people. HA HA!

I'd be starting to read “The World is Flat” which has been sitting on my bookshelf for ages…. I *will* start it one day… soon!

We have a TV, but no cable, and we don't pick up any channels with an antenna. So I read a lot—more than anyone else I know. I do watch TV when I'm at my parents' house (they live just down the road), but that's usually only one or two days a week.

If I watched even less TV than I already do, though, I'd spend it playing with my toddler son.

Anna you hit the nail exaxctly on the head here. I was in in dependant practice as a midwife for nearly 20 yearsand saw the pregnant mothers for their antenatal care in my consulting room in my house.I had a good range of toys and books. I could always easily pick the children who had no TV in their home. How did I do that
:EASY They could entertain themselves with what was provided for as long as the consultation lasted.
My appointments were placed an hour apart so the mothers could take all the time they wanted.

TV is one of my favorite escapes from the slings and arrows of every day life…if I weren't watching TV…I would be faced with a boy who loves to hear stories, a girl who wants to talk through her day, a husband who wants my arms around him, a book enticing me from the kitchen table, a mother who would love a phone call, and a journal with a waiting page.
