I have never owned a T.V. but go over to my neighbors
to watch some programs I enjoy. I’m a creative soul
and prefer to spend my time following my passions of
painting and writing and creating my own world instead
of just being an observer. I just got a computer for business
but have quickly become addicted to it and have to cover
it up with paper while I work on my projects so I won’t be
tempted to get on it. Obviously, this morning it didn’t
work.

I very seldom watch t.v. but my computer is my lifeline to news and the world.

Um yeah, we call it vacation. We have a cottage with not TV, phone or internet, to use the cell phone we have to go further down the road. None of us like listening to the radio and we don’t own iPod’s and such. We spend as much time as possible there, and we’re planning to spend two weeks there soon.
I watch TV a couple of times a year, mostly because I have guests that want to watch. I turn the radio on to listen to important messages (storm warnings ans such). I own a MP3 player but I haven’t seen it in since last year. I spend hour upon hour working on my computer and I don’t mind spending my time away from it when I don’t have to use it.

Yep!! the power to my generator went out….

Without gas to feed it, it doesn’t run…..

electricity was turned off so we used a generator…..

couldn’t afford gas, at one time, and went without…..

Month later, the generator needed servicing because we ran it 24/7…… had to do without….

it is just the nature of the beast of living….. some times, we have to do without……

your sister,
Ginger

Yea I actually did experience this.I was grounded for 2 months.But think, a 16 year old teenager gets grounded by her own parents, weird huh?!. Well yea I experienced that, and it made totaly big changes on my life.No tv, no ipods, no phone, no cellphone, and no computers.It totally affected my whole entire life (joking, it’s not pretty much bad though).But what I realized on that day was really weird.I could totally live my life well without those things.And it had some good effects to.Without the ipods or the phone, or the cellphone, my grades in math got higher bec. my mind has already forgotten about my….always calling on the cell or the phone boyfriend. So i completely forgot him.And about the tv, My assingments got really high grades on that bec. i can’t watch tv, so I studied instead (hey!, it’s more ridiculous to do nothing while you have some important things to do).So yea, i actually learned many things on that.And would i ever try it again, hell yea!…It totally rocked my world (even though my life got not much interesting, atleast it made my whole family and friends very happy). Maybe you should try it (if you can take the challenge ofcourse).Well thanks again!.It’s been nice answering your question.Bye!
