Its been a month now without CABLE!! I know..... I can hear you gasp as you place your hand to your mouth and I can read your thoughts...how is she doing that?? Three kids...no cable?? A Hubby who loves Sports....no cable?? I'd have to admit...at first I thought I was missing out on something! I did have the shakes, more so at night, when the kids and Hubby were in bed......I would just sit there...starring at the TV...hoping it would come back!! BUT actually...I started to watch movies that we had bought years ago....and never watched! They sat on the shelf, all neatly wrapped!! Why is it that we buy movies and never watch them? I realized that we bought them cause they were on sale! Such a waste!!! However, I did get caught up!! Some of which are NOT even worth the sale price!! PLUS I watched favourites....I would throw in Persuasion and make a pot of tea, grab my magazines and just enjoy the QUIET evening!!
IN reality....I don't miss it!! I am over it!! I broke up with television....it no longer holds me prisoner!!
Anything I really want, I can get on the Internet! Hubby even watches games on the computer! So why was I paying BIG BUCKS for CABLE!? I know the kids watched their shows.....and at first for them it was hard. BUT now.....they are doing other things...living, playing and being creative....what a NOVEL IDEA!! They don't even ask for certain shows! And don't worry, on rainy days....they still have their FAVOURITE DVDS!
So in CONCLUSION.....anyone can really give up CABLE!! Think of the life I have just gained by cancelling cable!! I am making my OWN LIFE, creating a HISTORY, rather than watching a MADE UP LIFE on TV!! I know its not all made up.....there are some educational aspects to TV....but I get that from the Newspaper, Radio and Internet!! Plus my BANK ACCOUNT is getting FATTER!! I am sure that Gail Vaz-Oxlade(Till Debt Do Us Part) would approve!
