Lately, I have found myself turning into a couch monster, YIKES! As my dear family and friends know, my life has taken a slight change in regards to my body "letting" me be as active as I use to be... can't help that one due to my recent medical condition that can literally debilitate me completely...Try not to let it, but I'm being more realistic now that we are going on OMG 2 years since my diagnosis.
Also, my hubby is a firefighter and I find myself home alone a lot. I usually just have it on to have "noise" as if someone was in the house with me, which I'm sure you guys find weird or out right ridiculous... I Know... I Know... But, then I've started to find myself going to certain channels now, and sitting to fold laundry, do all chores I can in front of it, and now almost EVERYTHING!!! BLAH!! I don't like this because I grew up with out a belief in television. My Dad, (Dad if you read this you will laugh) was very anti-television. He would say,"there is so much to do, and sitting in front of a TV during the day is just plain out lazy!" He would literally get mad, we were just not allowed until we were older teens. So, I have this "DAD VOICE" in my head telling me, What are you doing?
It is so hard to find things to do in the town I live in that isn't related to either clubs, drinking, or drugs... just being honest! My dearest of friends have all moved away, so that outlet is gone :(
So, I guess my question to you guys is what do you think? If you get things done, but done with a TV on, is it bad? What do you guys think is a healthy TV time? Or should I just plain get rid of the TV period. Which makes me laugh since it's the size of most people's computer screens now, LOL! I'm sure as my life changes and children are involved, I know for a fact this will change. But, do any of you have any suggestions, comments, etc.?
Thanks for reading, and I hope you all have a fun-wonder-lous Day!
LUV LUVS,

I don't think it's necessarily bad if you're getting things done and the TV's on...as long as you don't become reliant on it. I think it's healthy in small doses. I don't watch much TV, but it is nice to turn my brain off sometimes. Plus, depending on what you're watching, it leads to interesting conversations or you end up learning something from watching TV. I think it becomes unhealthy when you have to have it on constantly because you can't deal with quiet.
