Its just amazing what people can do! Porter likes to watch the mens gymnastics and then does his flips ( really a summersault) on the floor and makes us watch him. Its fun. I like to watch because it makes the world seem so close and small and conected.<BR/><BR/>If you insist on watching movies on the computer get a wide screen so that you dont have to squit so much! but really a tv would be cheaper i think.. you could find one on craigs list or something cheap i am sure.Camillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16222505107451912209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679631342517586283.post-29463948515566206072008-08-13T19:41:00.000-04:002008-08-13T19:41:00.000-04:00We have a TV but only use it for watching DVD's. ...We have a TV but only use it for watching DVD's.

Also they are still compatible with Cable and DSL so their is only the concern if you're trying to pick up channels in the air. <BR/>I for one like going to a stake center to watch General Conference. First it encourages me to dress up and I tend to stay more awake and listen to the speakers. Since I have moved to Utah and they often only show Priesthood Session at the stake centers I have fallen asleep during more conferences then I ever did before. <BR/><BR/>However in my opinion TV's are not required to be happy. Sure we watch a few movies now and then and but otherwise our tv is off most of the time. <BR/><BR/>Computers have taken over the entertainment field for us and i suspect more and more of the world. Music, videos, even old tv shows are available via internet. Most sans commercials and you have complete control of what you choose to bring in. Much better in my opinion. <BR/><BR/>On the Olympic note I remember as a small child staying up late to watch the Barcelona Summer games. It had been my goal to go to the Atlanta Summer games but that never happened. Then I had though oooh Salt Lake and what should happen but I go on a mission(Which ended up being much better than the olympics). <BR/><BR/>I really only watch the fencing and the opening ceremonies and that about does it for me. <BR/><BR/>Okay that was a long response. <BR/><BR/>Hey did you see the little Blog link banner I made for you on my blog?Museum Directorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881063972772162881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679631342517586283.post-31776121407894612282008-08-13T11:25:00.000-04:002008-08-13T11:25:00.000-04:00have you ever heard of freecycle? its a Yahoo! gr...have you ever heard of freecycle? its a Yahoo! group. See if there is one in your area in Ohio. you post things that you want to give away and people post stuff that they want to give away and you respond to each other. We have recieved stuff like a couch and a dresser and given away a ton of stuff. The weirdest thing that I gave away was curtian rods! someone wanted them and I had some just sitting around... I see old Tv's pop up on there all the time<BR/>HeatherBurnhamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074575191406377078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679631342517586283.post-35708444781037693462008-08-13T11:00:00.000-04:002008-08-13T11:00:00.000-04:00I miss having TV during the Olympics and during Ge...I miss having TV during the Olympics and during General Conference. We do have one (attached to a DVD & VCR for kid's videos and homeschool stuff); we just don't have any reception or cable. Dial up takes care of GC but won't cut it for the Olympics. Oh well.

I did watch some things from last winter Olympics in Torino, Italy, because I lived in DT and we had a TV in our common room on our floor that was pretty much always on. If I was bored I could just wander in and someone would be watching it. It was cool, especially the opening ceremonies, because I was/am studying Italian.Aleatha Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392415295910123120noreply@blogger.com
