6 Months and Counting

Well can you believe it. It's been 6 months without cable and I don't miss paying for something I can get for free. You gotta love the internet I don't think there isn't anything I can't watch. I get my Fox news I have 5 places I can watch. Wate and I are star trek fans and we are now watching Voyager. We also got to watch the super bowl on the net. Some the places we watch are from other countries which makes for some fun watching their commercials are a laugh to bad I don't understand them. I just need now how to get my laptop connected to my TV I think I need the box hopefully when we get our tax return I'll be able to get it. I know that will make watching alot easier. I really do love not having cable I never thought I'd say that but it's true. Wate is still getting use to quiet he feels that something has to be going on even if we're not watching it. I don't understand that I like it gives me time to think and reflect which is something I think everyone should do from time to time. I think it helps you grow as a person. Maybe more people in this country should unplug they just might learn something about themselves (maybe that's why they don't cause they are afraid of what they will learn).

Cable

We have pretty much always had cable or at least access to the regular TV station. For the past few months I have been thinking about having our cable cut off most of the shows we watch we own or want to buy (they are on our list). We have figured it out that with the money we would spent on cable we can get all the shows we want, and I did some looking on line and alot of stations steam live on the net for free so we will still get out news. I'm going to get a cable so I can hook up my lap top to the TV so I can watch news on a bigger screen. After all the research I've done about living without cable I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. The money we could have saved. So as you may have guessed we no longer have cable. The real funny thing when I called to have it shut off the cable company tried to keep me an acted like there was something wrong with me no longer wanting cable.
Another reason I wanted to get rid of cable is as I get older I'm finding that it's to big of a distraction. There is so much more I want to do and learn and it just seems foolish for us to pay so money for the few shows or movies we would watch, not when you can buy them for alot cheaper. I truly am looking forward to life without cable. Imagine what I will create or learn.
If anyone out there is living a life without cable or TV I'd love to hear from you. I want to hear your pro's and con's. How has it changed your family?
Until Later
