I look out for new Blogs but limit my time on a daily basis and keep emails short and to the point, otherwise there would be no time left...Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04360272405643318813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-66788964604334517072010-08-07T10:57:09.544-07:002010-08-07T10:57:09.544-07:00The dismal content of most television channels the...The dismal content of most television channels these days is doing a great job of breaking me of the TV habit!Karen Packard Rhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641711434283636830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-5513475535268566772010-08-07T06:42:21.219-07:002010-08-07T06:42:21.219-07:00James,

On a few occasions I will just veg in front of the set, more or less resting with my eyes open. BUT for time away from living, the computer and all its Genealogical offering has complete control of my life. Not all addictions are bad, are they??normnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-10606515013758032692010-08-07T06:13:29.762-07:002010-08-07T06:13:29.762-07:00For myself, I do not watch TV.

When I was 12 we got our first television BUT we weren't allowed to watch it.<br /><br />I will watch the TV before I go to sleep, and sometimes I am sorry I did.<br /><br />I work in an OR and am not connected to the internet at all during the day.<br /><br />I have Verizon as my phone provider and REFUSE to buy a phone where I have to agree and pay for a $30 monthly fee. If you add up all the customers times $30 that is quite a bundle of cash.<br /><br />But once I am home I also sit and check my email and blogs and I do get distracted by Channel Noise. But, one the other hand I learn a lot of information.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714440790407126206noreply@blogger.com
