I rarely watch TV

I am always in competition against myself, it is free. Playing word games, while I listening to the droning TV You do not even watch! My husband says amused. He is right. I use it like a radio, like we did in 1942. I can get much accomplished while I listen in. I have knitted and crocheted afghans during the din. The white noise of the TV is therapeutic to me. I have my ears ready, but rarely watch the TV.

I have my tv in another room but I only listen, rarely watch no matter what - I think it is because I grew up with a radio, not a TV
