I quit watching the news a long time ago. I feel so much better and much of the doom and gloom is gone.

I hear you, Kabu. I need to put that soapbox into the stove.

Except for the plant's room, Pat, I've been keeping the TV off.
Instead I stream some YouTube music in here when I want to hear it. I hardly ever really watch the news, I read it in during the quiet of the morning. Before the bird wakes up.

Haha, Sassyass. That bird can actually drown out the sound of
anything we're listening to, whether it be news OR a movie!

For sure, FSI. One can only take so much negativity.

True, Goldiec. As Pat-B often reminds us, the reporters play a huge part
in the gloom and doom sensationalism. It's getting to be too much.

I agree with you, the less news I watch or read about the happier my day.let the World go by I am getting to old to stand up there on my soap box.

The news itself is depressing enough, it's the commentary that gets
to me. Drives me nuts that they spend time between commercials on what if and probably - along with their expectations about what's next. Good idea to avoid it at all costs. I hope your day brings a natural wonder, something beautiful or funny with the critters...

Good morning
The news is very depressing. There has been nothing good reported for years. Between the COVID, global warming, racial tensions, political fights, and bad weather, watching a movie is a much safer choice. Your mouthy parrot is right on point with his bitchy attitude. He is expressing what the rest of us fear to say out loud. Go birdie, go!

It's good to avoid the news nowadays. So much bad stuff out there now with all the misinformation. It does wear on people.

Good Morning
I look forward to reading your delightful posts and thanks for making me smile. I have to say your posts remind me of myself. Last week I got up early like I always do and sat down to watch the news with a cup of coffee in my hand. After a little while, the news was so full of doom and gloom that I got up and left the room. Actually, this happened twice last week and then the weather took over and we had one update after the other forecasting the armageddon snowfall. By the time the storm was over our final count for snow was 13 inches. It was manageable but if you would have heard the weatherman you would have thought life was over as we know it. I hope you have an enjoyable day and enjoy being with your family. Stay warm!
