I really like House. I like to laugh at Who's Line is it, Anyway? Oh, yes, there are shows I enjoy.....yet overall, there are better ways for me to be spending my time (at least at this point in my life) - plus I really like the idea of the kids not being exposed to the tv right now. <BR/><BR/>Oh, I guess I'll just blog about it later....<BR/>~L.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295189090047887816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449051049141540270.post-48177734302705530822008-12-27T10:25:00.000-05:002008-12-27T10:25:00.000-05:00I'm so glad that your family had a blessed Christm...I'm so glad that your family had a blessed Christmas, Lori. So what if your kids had second hand toys?! Toys are toys, and it looked like your kids were having an awesome time! As for the dish, I could do without mine, but I really don't want to.:) I am addicted to the Hallmark Channel and TLC. I don't know if I could do without my Monday night TLC. But, hey, you have to do what is best for your family!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905712416668017589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449051049141540270.post-65204991973179189772008-12-26T19:57:00.000-05:002008-12-26T19:57:00.000-05:00Well we don't have the paid channels, like HBO etc...Well we don't have the paid channels, like HBO etc. WLIIA can be racy at times, at least when I used to watch it. I dislike commercials, and refuse to watch them and will flip off a channel when a commercial comes on. I do not allow my children to watch ANY tv. I think it's a wasteful use of their precious minds. THE ONLY tv they watch is the evening news, for their school's current events. <BR/> <BR/>We don't watch sports since I think that's that even a waste of more time. <BR/><BR/>We aren't uptight about what we watch, we all have the holy spirit w/in us, and somethings some people can't watch, because it's more of a temptation for those people. And others can watch it and have no problems. So it all depends on your temptations of what you can or cannot watch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449051049141540270.post-86428208396018493582008-12-26T19:11:00.000-05:002008-12-26T19:11:00.000-05:00You're not weird- we haven't had TV for a year and...You're not weird- we haven't had TV for a year and it's been fine. We just go to the library weekly and collect movies here and there as we have money. After we move, we are planning to get satellite again for some variety. <BR/><BR/>We were very blessed this year- God provided in many ways for us to give nice presents to our children, but they would have been happy with less too.Anneathearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01188325756630224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449051049141540270.post-19076220288013789682008-12-26T17:04:00.000-05:002008-12-26T17:04:00.000-05:00OK, I like TV as much as anybody - Heroes, Footbal...OK, I like TV as much as anybody - Heroes, Football, Whose Line is it Anyway, Duggars, etc. - but to say only 1% of what is on TV is "filfth" is either naive or you have a pretty loose definition of what is inappropriate. I would give it at least a 75% inappropriate content (at least for kids if not ALL of us) rating. That would be including commericials.<BR/><BR/>Lori's Hubby, DeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449051049141540270.post-27201434643209787352008-12-26T11:02:00.000-05:002008-12-26T11:02:00.000-05:00We've been highly blessed as a family.

Maybe because we are a 2 income family, altho most of my income goes to savings for our children, retirement, vacations etc. And we don't invest in the stock market!!!!! Only IRA's, money markets etc. We know now that God was shielding us from putting money into 401k's. <BR/><BR/>To get rid of Dish is up to you. I say only 1% of what's on tv would be classified as "filth". We believe God has a huge sense of humor, and wants us to laugh, and enjoy life, even if it's thru the tv. It's not our main focus, but it's entertaining.<BR/><BR/><BR/>~DanielleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449051049141540270.post-64661205919300141922008-12-26T09:24:00.000-05:002008-12-26T09:24:00.000-05:00Don't feel bad.

They got handmade scarves, winter hats, winter gloves (not handmade), handmade pajama pants, a movie and a tent/fort thing. That's all. They did also get candy (in their stockings), cinnamon rolls for breakfast and got to watch movies all day. They were as happy as could be! Some people thought it was 'pitiful' (in their words) but frankly, that's all we could do. Plus, like I said- they were so happy! Your kids looked like they had a blast!!! ( Love the difference between your boys and girls- too funny!) About the dish thing- once again, I don't think your nuts. Tim and I don't even have local broadcasting television in our home. We never have (we've been married 7 1/2 years). WE 'are' big movie watchers though. It's kind of our thing but we only watch a 2-3 a week. Plus, you can also watch alot of shows on the computer. We just don't think we need to 'pay' for filth to come into our home (not that all of it is!). Anywho, you need to decided whats best for 'you' family. Hope you have a wondeful day!Blended in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897774265090998216noreply@blogger.com
