What do you mean by that? Are you addicted to television? I don't have TV in my house - I have no use for it. I tried it for a while, but there was so much crap on it, it wasn't worth what I was being charged (I had to have satellite - I live too far away from the city for an antenna to work). I do have a dvd player and sometimes I'll get a movie from the library and watch it. But I work all day and sometimes work at a second job, and when I get home, I have to eat and do some chores around the house. Then I like to practice my guitar and keyboard a while, then read and study the Bible some, and try to read at least one or two chapters from a book - there really isn't any time for television anyway. I can't even find time to fit in all that I mentioned!

we didn't have a television for about 15 yrs (by choice). we read books, played games, did alot of outdoor activities, and the children played together, using their imaginations and the toys they had, we gardened, went on trips (local and long distance), wrote letters, took classes in the evening, went hunting, fishing, golfing, played softball, bowling, horseback riding, ..... are you getting it? we didn't have time to watch television!! when we went places with television our children hated sitting in front of a television set, even if it was playing a Disney movie! "can we go out and play?" they'd ask
