Well I may be one of the worst offenders of the TV watchers! My day starts at about 3-4 a.m. depending on how my worn out body feels and there is no use staying in bed any more. So I turn it on in the morning when I am reading the paper for a while, now it is off and I have been on the computer for an hour and a half checking and replying to e-mails and forums. During the day I may watch a little news at lunch time to see what is happening and for some cover noise. As the day progresses I may only last to 2pm if my back and tore up shoulders allow me to, then I am in the lazy boy with heat on my back and ice packs on my shoulders, and the TV is on. I have the laptop on also checking Craiglist for goodies and freebies! But when the pain meds kick in I most times fall asleep with 2 little dogs and the laptop in my lap! I must gleen information from the electronics as I sleep, for I feel so much more intelligent when my wife wakes me up for dinner! I do have a few favorites that I like to watch like House, Bones, Holmes on Homes (Canadian fellow who helps home owners out after bad contracting or failed home inspections) fun show to watch! Then I like to watch a gold prospecting show on Saturday mornings. We do have cable and it can be a bit crazy with all the options available, but my wife is forced to be in bed many days all day long with her severe pain and she loves to watch the old movies and our high speed internet is in the package too. I guess since we don't drink or go out to the tavern or other things that cost money it is our only "VICE"
So the answer for me is about 4 hours a day, during a 16-17 awake, half asleep day, but always informative or for fun and relaxation! We are all cursed with the availablity fo technology, for 25 years ago we would not know each other at all!
Happy mothers day to all the moms and grandmothers,
Jeff
