I haven't had a TV for almost a year & I thought I would miss it, but I don't miss it for one moment. I used to have the TV on 24/7 right after I went through the trauma with my Mother when she was dying of cancer. I was having horrile nightmares & found that having shows like home shopping shows on would keep the nightmares away. I found that when I had other shows on, they would actually show up in my nightmeres also.

Since I have moved to KY by myself without TV, I keep the radio going most of the time...country music......but I haven't felt the need to have TV even once. Now that I have my laptop going again.....I have started playing DVD's on that & watching those in the evening....sometimes better than TV.

I do miss the "dancing with the stars" show....I really loved that.

But I am also finding that now I am reading......I never even liked to read before. When I was an engineer, I was always reading technical manuals & design documents that I would read through 3 + times until I had every word & page memorized so when I got home....I didn't want to even look at a book......now I am reading & reading & comprehending everything rather than reading & not getting even one word of it.

I really do not miss the TV at all.
