socal - Very true. I grew up with TV, but I still got mostly all A's. I guess it just depends on the student? If I didn't watch so much TV when I was growing up, I would probably have done much better though. I listen to the old country and new country music most of the time. I can't get into the jibberish pop songs and rap songs on air. I listen to talk radio too sometimes. For the past three or four years, I haven't really been in the mood to listen to music. Only thing I play at home is some Johnny Cash and Bob Marley. lol. Hopefully all my kids will be like your youngest daughter. She sounds like a good student.
I grew up with it, too. I know I would have done better without them. I could ace tests, but refused to do homework. Pulling me from in front of the tv was like World War III.
I do love me some Johnny Cash!

Well... he is seriously doing it. I emailed him and there was an auto-reply message stating that he was taking a week off from electronics... good for him.

Since your wife is preggers, I am betting you are going weeks without from her.
So now you want to cut out TV and Internet.
Just join a Monastery and become a Monk...atleast that way they give you some cool robes and a hat thingy.

It never stopped me when mine was pregnant with our 3. Well up until...nah better not add that.

To be completely honest, pretty glad I had the TV growing up. School was always slow for me, I'd get the concept being taught quickly and then wait the rest of the class for the teacher to go back 14 times to help slower kids. I guess maybe it was the stuff on TV. Back when Discovery actually played cool nature/travels/etc shows. Everyone rags on MTV for not playing music anymore, but how about friggin Discovery anymore? We get shows like Sr. v. Jr, and Sons of Guns. Speed, back when it was Speedvision, not NASCAR TV, and had great shows on planes/trains/cars etc.

Definitely I've watched every episode since it been back I think my favorite was when they were dissecting the Thoroughbred racehorse.

So, it wasn't a week, but just long enough to get things set right and put things back in order and get some stuff done. I'm excited to be back. :D
