1. Having problems turning it off?
You could always unplug it.

3. Me too

I don't think I'd miss it much if I didn't have it. I maybe watch 2 hours a week. It's the husband and kids, in my house, who would go into serious withdrawal.

4. Me too - that's why I shut it off in 82.
Well, we got cable for 9 months when my youngest was in kindergarten so she could watch Mr. Rogers - but we canceled it after she graduated.

6. So do I. That's why I opted for DVD and a nice library of shows and movies with substance...

Which is also a thankfully small collection, as most television and movies are tripe-filled nonsense... :D

Nice to see you around these parts! :hi:

8. I gotta say, other than not getting the local news, I don't miss it one bit.
I've been without for about a year and a half now.
