In an effort to spend less money, I *gasp* cancelled my subscription to cable service. In this area, no cable means no TV at all. I have had no TV since the beginning of January and have saved $55 per month! Well, $40, because I upped my Netflix subscription.
Allegedly wise people say that having no TV somehow makes you a better person. You have more time to do meaningful things, like meditate, read, connect with others. They claim that you get used to the absence of television and don't even miss it.
Those people are soooo wrong! I get anxious when an evening stretches before me and I realize there is no TV and there's no Netlix movie in my mailbox. Of course I have a zillion things I could and/or should be doing, but I *am* a product of American culture that way. *wide grin*
If I were you, I'd start a betting pool at my place of employment centering on how long I'll last without cable.

I am joining you Z! But not by choice. We still haven't set up the cable since we moved in over 2 weeks ago. But you know, I've been to busy to really notice or care. Personally, I could love without it. Nick on the other hand.....no chance!
