Still the same as it ever was

[MJontheMend]

I agree with the no TV idea though I can see it might cause difficulties in a family with school-age children. I've lived without a TV for year or two a couple times in my life and it was a good change. My mother in a manic fit threw our TV in a snowbank when I was in high school. My father, sisters and I developed the habit of listening to radio shows together- talk about old before your time . The second time I didn't have a TV, my son was a toddler. I ended up reading to him constantly which probably has something to due with his current stratospheric vocabulary.
