You know what I've found to be amazing? If you turn off the television, you become less sick of people. That statement wasn't meant to sound as snotty as it does.

My husband and I felt that we watched way too much TV, so a couple of months ago we downgraded our cable subscription to broadcast basic. Now if I catch Rachael Ray and her corny catch phrases, or Giada attempting to show all of her perfect teeth in one smile, it becomes kind of like a treat. For us, the television is finally fulfilling it's purpose; it is there for entertainment and not as a way of life.

Trixie,

DH and I are starting the same thing. we were just spending mindless hours in front of the TV. now we try to interact with eachother, instead of just sitting there.

Who the hell called you that? let me at them... Let me put my boot on and kick their ass.

[BJean 16]

Yeah, put 'em up, put 'em up... as Bugs Bunny used to say.

I seldom watch the news anymore because I was constantly walking around with a knot in my stomach from worrying about the shocking horrors they reported, one after another.

I think most of daytime TV sux eggs. And I read somewhere that you burn fewer calories reading or sleeping than you do when you're watching TV. Yikes!

Having said that, I find myself drawn to Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives. Strictly for the comedy factor, you understand. And I always turn away when they do close-ups of heart transplants, lung surgery and trauma treatments. I'm a wuss big time.

My DH and I Have not got rid of the TV---but we did make a change, that resulted in a huge difference! We moved things around, and bought ourselves this totally cool new butter soft leather recliner loveseat. Now when we watch TV we do not do it from our respective chairs. We sit close, we can snuggle, we inneract with one another. It might seem like nothing....but it DID make a huge difference!

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is one person that I would love disaappeared into thin air. Seriously. If she left the view and moved to Bangladesh and we never heard or saw her again, it would be a better America!

Sorry for dredging up an old thread but I am SO sick of Elizababble Hasselbeck. She is so sanctimonious and holiar-than-thou; I just want to SLAP her! It doesn't help that I disagree with most everything she says either. Whoopee, she stands up for herself...can she do it less often and quieter? SHUT UP ALREADY!!! :biggrin:

Thank God for Tivo...I can FF right through her incessant dribble.

Oh and PS on the grammar rants - It's "you're" as in "you are so funny." Your is possessive as in "your nails are so pretty." Also, distance is farther; not further. You further your career. LA is farther from Atlanta than Chattanooga.

(Oh how I wish someone from the Weather Channel would read that.)

PS2 - to David Beckham...it's "family oriented" not "family orientated"!!!

kat that loveseat sounds suweet! That's a great idea. I'm gonna try to talk my DH into that. His recliner is about to bite the dust and mine isn't that comfortable. If we could share a throw and cuddle in the winter, it would be super cool! Thanks for the idear.

Elizabeth Hasselbeck is a freak without warning.

How about this one--bill collection agencies that THINK someone who has defaulted on payments lives at your house! AARRGGHH!

I kept getting stupid calls from a 1-800-SERVICE number. They finally left a message that tipped me off that it was a collection agency. I called back and come to find out they were looking for some lady I never heard of. She must have had my phone number at some point, but she never lived in my house (it was owned by the same family until I moved in).

The idiot on the other end of the phone had the audacity to ask me if I knew where she was! WTF? How would I know where she is when I just finished saying I never heard of her and she never lived at this address?

I have had this exact thing happen to me! They're looking for someone with the same last name and our first initials are the same. I have called these idjuts 3x to tell them, "Hi hello, I am STILL not Joe Blow and don't know Joe Blow. Stop calling me!" OMFH, is this not illegal somehow?

Two things that I'm sickntired of lately!!!

1) phone calls to my cell phone where someone leaves messages for some unknown person to call them back "right away." I finally got tired of just deleting them and called to find out what it was about. They were collection agencies (so they said) and had my number with someone else's name. AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!

2) I'm home recuperating from major, life threatening surgery and my phone rings 2 or 3 times a day for 4 days in a row. When I pick up, there's no one there. Same phone number with an "unknown" identity on my caller ID. Finally I picked it up and there was someone on the line. It was a nurse employed by my Health Insurance Company. No, she wasn't calling to see how I was after surgery. She had no idea that I'd been in the hospital. She was calling because she's a nurse who is employed by the insurance company to offer free advice and answer health-related questions. It was infuriating. After a very stupid conversation, where she kept asking if I have any questions she could help me with, I finally asked her something about the drugs they gave me at the hospital and she answered, "I have no idea." Good grief. It could drive a sober person to drink. I asked to be taken out of the "program" and that they never call me again. Well, they've only called once since then. I guess that's a start.:biggrin::angry_smile::biggrin::angry_smile:

major life threatening surgery...? Why for hun!!!

JBean - I'm sick and tired of wrong #'s on my cell too. It seems every drug dealer/prostitute in town has my number. I have NO idea why. I get a mumbled (obviously high) person I can't understand leaving me messages to meet them at 2:00 in the red light district of town Although some are most amusing. Why me? I'm tempted to call Verizon to get my # changed. I get at least 2 a week.

#1 - I found out DH had an affair last summer. I called and confronted the slut. She told me she knew where I worked. After DH and I decided to work things out - we're doing pretty good right now. A YEAR later the bitch shows up at my office. I know her name and what she looks like. It was on business though - she is a runner now for a lawyers office. I KNOW she came here to annoy me. Someone else could have brought the papers. I wanted to claw her eyes out. I didn't say a word to her - if I had, I probably would have been fired and then arrested on assalt charges.
