TV .. Who Needs It?

I am not ashamed to say that I really hate TV. I also do not like going to the movies at the theatre. Yes, I'm boring and it's a wonder I have a husband. Hopefully I'll never find the need for another husband but I'm betting if I did find myself in that position, there's not a man in this world that would be interested in being "Mr. Judy". Vince is such a special person to put up with me! :) Back to the TV. I think the main reason I don't like it is because I can't sit still for very long and even when I do sit still, my mind wanders and I miss important stuff being said and I have to keep asking . . who is he? what happened to her? why are they doing that? So, no one wants to watch tv with me. When I go to the movies (which happens way less often than washing my car!), the first thing I do is see when the next feature starts so I know the entire time how much longer I have to sit there. Anyway, Vince was talking to a friend yesterday and he was in a quandary about HD TV. Do you buy now? Do you wait? He asked Vince. Heck, we aren't getting a new TV. But, the friend says, in a few years, you're going to have to get a new TV because unless you have HD . . it won't work. Well, that makes it a very easy decision for me. Maybe we can finally get rid of ALL the TV's. Vince does keep the TV on all the time but he doesn't really watch it . . it's just on. I know there's not a chance we'd ever throw out all our TV's just because I don't like them but if, in fact, they aren't going to work anyway . . why keep them? Maybe I can convince him to just try it without TV's for a while and see how it is. Then, if he just has to have one, he can get an HD TV. What we'd save on the cost of Dish Network, I could use to buy fabric! :) The entertainment center in the living room would make a great storage area for my quilts!! :) Judy
