I think I'm going to have to give up watching regular tv for awhile. I made a post on Facebook last week complaining of political ads. I absolutely hate them. They don't tell me anything true about the candidates. It's just money spent on BS, in my opinion. And they ruin any show I'm watching lately. I could, and have, just hit the mute button during the commercial breaks, but that gets tedious. Especially when I don't realize that the program is back on and I forget to unmute the tv. It really is frustrating...at least to me.
And then, the other night, we were watching tv during dinner. Michael cooked that night, so I was really looking forward to being able to just relax with my food in front of the tube. The news was on...first mistake. It had not even been on for one minute before I had a physical reaction to it. I could feel all of the blood draining from my face. The pit of my stomach began churning. I looked down and realized that my plate was shaking. I thought I was going to throw up...truly. Having to watch the state of our country was ruining my appetite. We had to change the channel because I just couldn't take it. And, sadly, when you only have very basic cable there aren't many choices left so we ended up watching a bad sitcom rerun.
So I will be watching our Roku only for awhile. I do enjoy finding vintage shows, especially game shows. And I have a Broadway channel where I can see some fun theater. We have some good channels and I have my shows that I subscribe to, so I can get by for awhile with no problem. That is, at least, until the Roku channels start playing politics. Then it'll be time to hook up the VCR.
That is all.
