3-4 hours on a weekday? I could never have watched that much TV. Between playing outside with friends and homework and dinner I maybe got to sit down for about 2 hours on a weekday. Back in my thinner days :)
Growing up I watched very little TV, and even now I watch very little TV, maybe an hour or two a day. Some days when I'm lazy I'll watch a little more. But I don't really like TV, it doesn't really force me to think. -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 29, 2004 11:26 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Nintendo Junkie 3-4 weekdays, 5-6 Saturday, 6-10 Sunday (depending on football, and Disney Sunday night movie) But football, soccer, baseball, karate, boy scouts, cub scouts, bikes, and family camping got in the way of that. Which is about what I am seeing from my 5-year-old nephew (my only reference point). He watches a little more, but between videos, dvds, netflix, on demand and tivo, he gets to watch what he wants when he wants, rather than whenever it is on. He turns the TV on when he gets up, and it is on through most of his day. But after the first time he sees a show, he doesn't sit and watch the whole thing again. He will stop what he is doing to see a particulalrly good scene, but then continues about his day. He wakes me about 6 am on Saturday mornings when I sleep over. We'll play checkers, write books, ride bikes, play Cariboo, organize his Netflix list, clean his room, listen to music, play the drums and guitar, walk the dog, get breakfast, wash the car, get dressed, wrestle. The whole time the TV is on, but it is more a background thing. His parents get up between 8 and 11 (if they want to sleep in, it is their one day to indulge), and they join in the chaos of treasure hunts, grocery shopping, cleaning the house, building motorcycles and cars, walks and bike rides in the woods, finding the dog, etc. Jerry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:137986 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
