i'm contemplating getting rid of cable TV.

It's good for the History, NatGeo, and Discovery channels, but all too often I find myself glued to crime dramas - Law & Order SVU, Criminal Minds, and Snapped for example. Tonight I'm watching the Law & Order SVU marathon and it just feels a little bit twisted to me to be "entertained" or "riveted" by these sorts of topics - victimization of women, children, and the otherwise marginalized.

I can't help but think that for me, it is completely incompatible with my spiritual practice. And I find those sorts of images (whether real or scripted) affect the energy in my home if only in the most subtle of ways.

I would really miss the educational programming, though. So I guess I just have to learn to stay away from the garbage.

Look at it like you would one of your history shows except it's a commentary on current events. I'm also a big fan of the L&O and CSI series. Criminal Minds is very good too. They are well-written, the acting doesn't suck and the situations are almost always realistic, even if sometimes morbid or saddening.

Plus it helps teach you how to get away with murder.

In case you ever need to do that.

Or dispose of a body.

Or two.

:cheesy:

Going to work at the new store, tomorrow. According to the schedule that was written, I see time sheet fraud already. I'll be causing trouble....yes, I'm the new girl!

Ummm...usually procedures are in place for a reason!

Stay tuned.

I can understand what you are saying. I got rid of TV all together a bit over ten years ago. I have not regretted it at all.

An upcoming trip to see friends...I so need it.

The Past: A moment in time, words exchanged, and then nothing.
The Future: Moment by Moment, whispers, and everything yet nothing.

lol, Gemme. I worry about you sometimes. :tease:
But, yes; you make a valid case - and that's probably from watching all those courtroom dramas! lol

Thank you. I appreciate your feedback. :)

On a thoughtful friend hoping the rest of her day was better! :-)

I need to find a way to make my dollars stretch.

Things are getting better... but I'm still walking that fine line

I know I can do this!

The progression of our relationship.

How I need to progress in my life with God.

Software tests some PC users are doing today. I'm not a software developer but I'm in a holding position till they're done with their tests.

any insight would be most welcome... :)

I'm thinking about what I'm going to do over the summer, how I usually spend all summer doing nothing but being bored and then groaning when it's over. I wonder how far I'll have to drive to find something fun to do?

Talon 05-19-2015 11:39 AM

That I just desire that everyone I love and care for, to be happy...above all else.
