Go Alex!

Gotta loooooove Alix :)

At least common sense has hit her

Hey that’s what we did on Saturday before we had television.

There is plenty to do without the TV! In fact, I wonder how we got anything done when we owned one!

My GOD! The next thing she will want to do is drink from the hose instead of a plastic bottle! The humanity of it all.

I forget what came before TV…

Yay, she’s out of the TV trance! Have fun, Alix!

ALIX FTW!!!

But TV does everything for you. Without it, some people can’t operate. Visuals, audio, thought process, opinions, and how to feel. Heaven forbid I should read. I’m surprised they haven’t banned books yet. Subversive things, make you think. Dangerous. Reading forces one to imagine.Very dangerous. Why reading might cause one to compare. Extremely dangerous. Watch and listen to the party line on TV. You’ll a a content couch potato.

TV shoot I wish I could get my oldest daughter out of the computer trance!! From the time she wakes up until the time she goes to bed she has that thing on her lap…ugghh I almost wish I never helped her buy the dang thing.

Now complaints will be on laptop to computers for all electronic gadgets that come and kids not getting out. I talked with our neighbor’s oldest son who I thought was done with H.S. told him to do reading then found out he has two more years to go I told him work hard on math. Get his grades up. People could complain about gocomics on some strips with comment section takes a lot of time. Me I have a murder mystery medical who done it book called The Oath. Medical Director was hit by a car while jogging then died in emergency room with potassium overdose I’m midway on this. So reading time is close.

Climb trees. In line skate (what?) . Skateboard (what??). Get lost, anyway, or you may find yourself doing one or more of the following: WALK THE DOG DO THE LAUNDRY BABYSIT

Hey, eieio2 , radio on top of the refrigerator came before TV. The Lone Ranger, The Shadow. Plenty of funny ones, too, but I’m ancient and can’t remembe their names. Ah, here’s one: Jack Benny; another, Fibber McGee & Molly. Now you can all snigger and laugh. Metal roller skates to boot.

Go for it, Alix! Sounds like a great summer.

Hey Helene, here’s a great site to catch all those old episodes and more

Enjoy!!
