Potato Chip Day? OMG, I'm in heaven!!! My favorite snack. Love Kettle and Krunchers. Thinly sliced kraft sharp cheddar and a diet A & W root beer. Ahhhhh, that's living. Oh, I know, that is a strange combination, but what the heck, it's a snack and not everyday.

TV? I could do without it. News and weather and the occasional series such as 24 and NUMB3RS. Haven't really watched much lately. Too much of the same thing. Politicians and scandals. Seem to go together. I have radio and my computer and reading is my number one choice of diversion and enjoyment. Now books, I would be lost w/o. Do not take my books away from me. Please.

Not very long.... I cant watch my Blackhawks w/o a TV and Id probably lose it after a few short weeks. Other than that, I dont watch too much TV, just a little here and there. But if I were to lose my NHL viewing privilages, I wouldnt be happy camper.

I have a big 61 inch Sony TV the only time I watch it is when the NASCAR races are on, other than that I could do without it, I would spend my time working out in my woodshop on some project. I love the Cape Cod Kettle potato chips but also loves Snyders of Hanover potato chips also.

No TV? OK.

Try to take away my books and I'll fight you tooth and nail.

Can't have my computer I need it to make my living.

I'd spend more time building stuff. For the cost of our new TV, cables, new stand, etc I could add some pretty nice tools to my workshop.

Oh Karla, that is such an easy question for me. I could last quite a long time, as I find the older I get, the less use I have for that thing.

I would fill my time reading, gardening, cooking, taking walks when it is not too hot outside!... quilting, cleaning, working, having lunch with friends, go out on dates with dh...oh wait, I do all that now! as well as make time for city-data.

My bro. has a tv in every room except the kitchen and bathroom. He has a huge tv in the family room. It freaks me out when I visit and see the giant heads on his tv, but im drawn to it like a moth to flame.

Instead of watching TV, I spend my evenings doing one or several of the following: cooking, cleaning, sewing, reading, playing with my dogs, hanging out with the horses or sitting on the deck watching the birds and staring at the trees day dreaming about all the landscaping and fixing up I need to be doing.
I noticed your location. In a few years mine will be the same as yours , future neighbor.

Ahhhhh, I would deeply miss Keith Olbermann's mind, and Alexis of Jon & Kate Plus Eight, but I'd enjoy my own mind -- and paint in oils and watercolors, design and make quilts, read, cook new recipes, and walk. Oh -- I do those things now! Well, maybe I'd do more housework. Naaahhhh!!
