Going Without TV

I sold the last of the
material possessions that I owned - My Plasma TV. And I shut off the cable. I officially have no TV for the first time in my life. Actually, this will help me meet 3 goals this summer:

To enhance my relationship with Circle Face through more interactive projects and less Spiderman and Mickey Mouse watching
To make a 30 pound dent in the next 100 pounds to lose on my diet by doing stuff rather than sitting in front of TV
To start reading the books my ex bought me in the 90s that I always started but never finished

I'm considering shutting off the internet too - how crazy would that be? Not sure but who knows ...

Go Cubs!

Keep us posted on how this works for you. I've considered the same thing every now and then. (not for terribly long tho)

As you may recall, I don't have tv and haven't for almost 2 years now. I still miss it - sometimes, but the internet totally makes up for it. If I didn't have that - I would feel lost.

Best part - my electric bill fell to almost nothing!

Good for you. Hubby and I don't even have cable, and our daughter only gets 1/2 an hour of TV a day, and that's usually Signing Time, during which we interact with her, and practice the signs. To be honest, we don't really even miss TV, but I have to admit, we do have a cable modem, and World of Warcraft.

However, not having a TV does get us out and moving more. Good luck!!

Good for you! Maybe someday I'll have the will power to Kill the Television ... I've often thought about it. And Yes ... GO CUBS!!!!!

Good news—except for that shutting-off-the-internet thing. Well, and that bizarre attachment to the Cubs is just something we'll never, ever mention again, ok?
