aw heck Jack, I remember being allowed to watch 1 hour of TV per day -
tops. The rest of the time was chores, homework, or "go find
something to do". Not to hijack the thread but I think that those "go
find something to do" times produced *some* of the best memories of my
childhood. Now, don't ask how many of the activities my parents
actually knew about. I started to tell them once and they stopped me.
:-D



Haha! None of my friends or I were allowed much TV either. We'd go out and
'mess around' instead. I used to be quite the dam builder at an early age.
Later on, of course, we'd get in trouble, but that's another story for
another time.
