Living together as semi-polite strangers

[mishka422]

Thanks Grace-O. I forgot to mention that my mother lives with us and is in the living room constantly watching TV because she can't see well enough to read or work crossword puzzles anymore. She has to have the noise to keep from going crazy.

Don't know how to work the TV off thing when I don't really get a choice. If I don't turn it on something I can stand to listen to then it's on GAME SHOW NETWORK!!!!!!!! Shoot me! How anyone can watch Match Game that much is beyond me!
