My husband lives for TV. You tell him you’ve been invited out and he has to check to see what’s on TV that night before he agrees to go. And the weekend! Impossible to schedule anything in between sporting events on TV. He might as well be invisible around here – he sits down with a beer and a bowl of nuts and never says anything beyond telling the kids to quiet down so he can hear. Some days I want to take a ball peen hammer to the TV set.

The TV is a constant companion in my not quite fully moved into home. The sounds seem to make my kitties sleepy and they all coil up on the bed to sleep with Judge Judy interspersed in their dreams. My time is divided between my computer screen and the TV screen. I think I need to get out more often.
WHAT’S ON TV?
TV has become the most inexpensive babysitter ever; for the kids and the parents. The mom and dad (when there is a mom and dad) turn on the TV, sit the kids on the floor or the couch, and leave the room to go answer their email or search websites on the computer or play video games.
Or they go to the surround sound room and listen to digital music and have a cocktail totally oblivious to the world around them or their children.
We are in a new era–the adults and the children are being lulled to sleep by the one-eyed monster.
My TV life
use to be like some who have made comments.
So nice at this time
just me
and TV rarely goes on.
A little news, weather and something special
I love the quiet
and books.
A good place
at this time of my life…..
TV gets between me and my husband, He’s become a talking head, a clone of Bill O”Reilly. I’d like to smack his bottom but it’s gone. Sometimes he passes gas though so it must be there somewhere.
On the screen was an image of peerless beauty and compassion. The spot was a unifying thirty seconds understood and embraced by a global audience. However, it was not the mere message, as great as it was, that truly inspired people. The real spark was that it failed to be followed by a price, logo, or disclaimer. It was completely unsponsored.
Whats on the table. Whats on the Floor. Whats that on the back of your pants? Whats on for dinner? Whats on the telly? Whats your problem? You’ve got nothing on me!. Whats the point? On to the the next thing. Whats on your mind? Whats on your heart? Is that a spot? on your pants, are you a target?
When I awake 1/2 sleep, roaming at night for something to drink before my leak. It’s dark I hope I don’t trip over my feet, instead I hit the stairs to hear a creak. At the bottom a voice says ” Can you grab me something to eat,” I say “Yeah you want to something sweet?” I close the refrigerator door after I wet my throat, I look out the window “That’s why our light bill is high, the damn porch light is still on!”
