It's amazing what you can learn on TV

Hello everyone -

Now we have all heard how TV can "rot your brain" and other opinions.  But I feel that TV can also be fun and even educational.  It all depends on what you watch.

We have Cable TV.  We get over 150 channels, including movie channels, On Demand & Pay-Per-View.  And what do we watch?  HGTV.  Food TV.  DIY.  and all the other "how-to" channels & shows out there.  And by watching these, I think my skills as a carpenter, painter, electrician, and even as a chef have dramatically improved over where they were, say, 10 years ago.

For example, we are remodeling our bathroom.  We are doing it ourselves.  And, at least so far, it is NOT turning into a remodeling disaster.  All because of what we have learned on DIY and HGTV.

As far as cooking, we have learned a TON of wonderful recipes, and developed some new ideas & skills that we use in the kitchen.  For example - ever heard of a grilled cheese & Jelly sandwich?   Sounds kinda corny, but wait until you try it.  It's AMAZING!   And I now have my "Secret Spice" that I use when grilling our evening meals. 

Out of all the channels we have, we have only 23 selected as our "favorites".  And most of them are how-to channels, with a couple of exceptions.  We watch Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, and Cartoon network.

Hey, we gotta get a little brain rot once in a while.
