How important is television for you?

There are some people who cannot sit in the house without turning the television on. The same holds for my husband. The moment he sits in the house the first thing he will do is to turn on the television. Do you like to watch television?

I turn on the TV when Bill gets up. When I was in my own home it was first thing when I got up. It was mostly for the "company", hearing another person's voice in the house. It is a blessing when you're alone and there aren't people around for miles. There are a few programs I will sit and just watch, but usually I do my work around it. I design and make teddy bears and for some reason the "noise" from the TV helps with the process.

I agree that television never allows you to be alone. So you make teddy bears. Can you share some pics of your creation

@BearArtistLady your neighbors attitude touched my heart

@amitkokiladitya The picture in my avatar is one of my bears. It was a gift for one of my neighbors out here in the wilderness. The day after the fire she came by with the bear and asked if I would like it back. She still loved the bear but after losing everything I owned it might be a great "friend". I hate to admit how many times I have sat in a darkened room and hugged that bear and cried my eyes out. I think that the tears have finally ended and they still flow, and flow, and flow. I will post more pictures of my bears. I'm going to get a digital camera (my Nikon that Bill gave me as a gift...well it didn't make it either) so I can take some pictures of the bears and share them. My tablet just doesn't do well with pictures. It's great for ones that you aren't sharing a lot or important to share...but a regular digital camera is much better.

I live alone so I use TV sometimes to keep me company and sometimes even to have a sound nearby.

@amitkokiladitya That´s why I was angry about my cable TV yesterday. But I´m using Netflix and it is perfect.

Gee, wanna come to my house? I am trying to quietly clean Bill's house. I keep finding cobwebs, dust and I need to carpet clean. But I'm going to wait a few days to carpet clean until I am feeling really really better. Today's objective is to clean fan blades and secretly oil the axles they spin on.

I don't watch television now. I prefer reading, writing, etc. My Dad is like your husband. Its like they need background noise while they go about their job. I, on the other hand, prefer quiet especially when I am in the middle of a conversation.

Even I prefer to be quiet and silence around. But sadly, I hardly get any

@amitkokiladitya I'd offer to let you come here for some peace and quiet...but last night one of the people that was back here close by decided to play their drums. Bill doesn't hear them...I sometimes think I'm losing the rest of my marbles!

I rarely watch TV nowadays because the internet is my TV now. :P But the TV is on everyday because the other people in the house likes to watch the local variety shows and teleseryes.

@amitkokiladitya Yes. And come to think of it, it's a bit weird to think of the whole family gathered around the computer to watch things. Haha. In front of the TV seems more... er... normal. Hahaha.

I like to watch television a lot. But if had to choose having a TV or owning a computer, I'd rather have a computer.

Of course one of my favorite shows is America's funniest home videos. I love watching the animals and their disasters. It's really a great dose of medicine when I'm feeling down and can freely laugh at some of the stuff that happens on the program.

@amitkokiladitya I miss my tv setup, I decided since I was watching so much of it I would have the top selection from the dish supplier. It was great because very seldom did I want for something to watch. There was a LOT more educational programming on the top selection on our dish supplier, so I didn't have to watch too many sit coms or cartoons. Although I did enjoy Disney's Phineas and Ferb. I'm going to talk to Bill and see if I can pay for the upgrade in programming and we can get the better programs too. I really miss a lot of the educational programs that I used to watch.

Not important at all. I seldom watch TV, I actually could live without it. What is important for me is internet connection. Its actually a necessity. Its my main source of entertainment and relaxation and some jobs on the side.
