It is so great to be able to read your posts again!
Just think of the days I've been away, and I feel like I've missed the whole world. Haha... well, I don't fancy anything high-tech much, but blogging is the only thing that makes me sit in front of the computer for a moment. I miss those days when there're video tapes and cassette tapes. Those were the days when teenagers knew how to speak to each other and share.

I like my computer too, and when the tv is on I am trying to find something to watch and then I go back and forth to the computer and tv, my kids think I am addicted to my computer, but think nothing of spending all their off time with a phone in their hands.

I'm with you there... I gave my tv away 5 years ago and haven't looked back, although I do sometimes watch films on the computer

I enjoy conversation with my husband, reading My Bible, computer, playing with the cats, gardening and of course Blogit. You didn't ask what we liked but there you got it. That is the Blogit way.

I don't watch/read anything indiscriminately anymore. I pick and choose or write my own. It doesn't take much to entertain me anymore.

Most of the time I loathe current television programmes too, Grandmummy. What most would find entertaining, I find violent and cruel. And I know we agree that there is just too much cruelty and violence in the world. Why do they feel compelled to make matters worse by depicting such things on television, I wonder?
I love a lot of the old television series, both from here and some from your beautiful Oz and the UK. I love THE AMAZING RACE, as you know, and I like some medical programmes. I wanted for the longest time to go to medical school. I like some documentaries and certain religious films and I like sometimes to watch our animal planet programmes, depending on what the subject matter is. Currently, I'm addicted to watching a programme called NATURE on our local public television station.
I don't care at all for THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB, though! I'm sure I would have loved your Gram Sarah. Just as I love you!

There was a time when I wouldn't have used a computer for a paper weight, I was dead set against them, but times change. We are good friends now, my computer and I. I even have one I can take with me. I do enjoy some things on television, but I must admit that friendship is not near as strong as it once was.

Sometimes it makes things too easy, too fast...
a pause before clicking can really be wise, as I have been reminded more than once.
And when the system fails... Oh, dear...!
For a while, before I reconnect with the world really around me, I feel so disconnected. I try to have back-up information, like actual addresses for the people I would not lose, if the /net shut down and didn't come back.

Yes can imagine that you were a grubby little stitcher Kabu. We used to make ropes with cotton reels which eventually turned into grubby mats. I know I think the tele. has run out of ideas, old worn out repeated programmes. How strange the jokes do not seem funny any longer, I hope this agony called blogit keeps us from having dementia. Poor old Wiley's foot is a bit of a problem, but it takes longer to heal as one knows. I wish I had known as much as I do now I would have asked an old gpysy woman for a cure for rhuematics and sprains. Well she knew how to cure horses. I dropped Rumour a line just to say we missed him and told him not to reply until he was better, that's all one could do.Sorry I missed you yesterday the days just meld.

Unlike your granny, you like the TV off but like you say your computer is everything to you. Of course if you start loathing it tomorrow, I'll go to the basement and turn a chalice.

I remember my dad telling me how big of a deal the color television sets were. Nowadays we take that sort of thing for granted...For me it was the Internet that came along as I was kid. We were in the middle of the pack getting it.

It's a love-hate relationship, highly addictive, this infatuation with
the internet in general and Blogit in particular. Two signs that I'm not well: coffee tastes weird, and I lose interest in blogging or reading other blogs...
TV in the '50s was black and white, but the writing was good, and some programs have never been equalled: I'm thinking of "Playhouse 90" which was broadcast live in the US, major Broadway and Hollywood stars, drama written by the best screenwriters. Don't know why some producing genius hasn't latched onto those old scripts, updated the backgrounds and presented them as movie of the week or something. And the background music was top quality from a real orchestra... (spoken like a true Fogey)
