I have 2 TV sets. With no cable hookup, I've got no television program reception. I also have a portable DVD player, so I can watch a movie right next to my computer monitor, and compare you guys to Jeremiah Johnson, or Leonidas, or Jurassic Park.
Reminds me off my Mother and her Boyfriend, except they have a computer but use it as a door stop,(technology like that accordin' to her just lets the goverment in on yer business, and the TV is an old console that's used to support the family pictures and the phone.
, she hasn't watched TV in 25 years except if she was in a friends house that had one on.
I did 3 stints without TV one in the early 80s for 3 years when I lived in a 157 year old farm house, along with electricities no indoor plumbin' or furnace, (just coal wood burners in the main rooms, had to pull water from the well by bucket, heat up water to bathe, and use an outhouse for, well you know...
Late 80s we moved up to a cabin in PA in the back of my Mothers junkyard, same set up that was two years, did lots of readin' and hobbies, that was two years, my friends all said my wife was a Saint durin' those.
Last year my cable bill got outta control and we had the cable turned off for 3 months, we all survived.
I learned early on in my marrige, 1) I have a terrific wife and 2) so long as I have my family I need very little else, ('cept maybe my knives
) to get through life.
I like the nice things in life but I can get by without, I remember cryin' the first time I turn on the light in our current home and my wife sobbin' when she flushed the toile and had her first shower.
