TV-free Homes / Talk about getting rid of TV at home
When I was young, I loved watching TV.
I would sit in front of the TV all day long and flip through the channels.
An entire day would go by in a flash.
But when I was in college and our family moved to a new house, we decided not to buy a TV.
So I started living without a TV, and soon became accustomed to it.
I was actually glad that I wasn't wasting time, just zoning out in front of the TV set.
Even after I got married, I didn't buy a TV.
My husband was against it at first, but he soon got used to life without a TV.
Nowadays, he is all for it.
We have installed a beam projector and screen,
so sometimes we can set the mood to watch a movie or catch a TV show.
