[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My FIL has the TV on all the time, even when no one is watching anything. It actually drives me crazy--the way the TV is positioned, it's visible from the kitchen, the dining room, and the living room, so there's nowhere to go to get away from it. I don't mind watching a show or a movie together, but just having it on all the time bugs me. I agree that suggesting a walk or a game in another room or another activity to get away from it is a good idea. [/quote] I do this too: I suggest a walk. Or I move into another room where there are people doing other things: playing cards, talking (surprise surprise!), reading, etc. Or, if all else fails, and everybody is just staring at the tube like lobotomized nincompoops, I'll go get whatever book I am in the middle of; or grab a deck of cards and start playing solitaire - both while keeping 1/2 an eye and attn. on things that are going on in the room. . .[/quote]
