[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are out of touch, but in a bad way.  not having a television in the house?  [/quote]

I have a TV in the house. Two, in fact.  I don't turn it on. My other family members love it. I am out of touch with reality TV and all the crap that passes for popular culture. I was always 'out of touch' even as a teen. It's done me nothing but good.[/quote]

you seem out-of-touch weird to me.   no offense.  what do you talk about at the water cooler at work?  how do you do small-talk?  i.e, being completely ignorant with respect to pop-culture is indicative that you may just be a social oddball, and in most walks of life that is not going to be a good thing.  depends on your profession I suppose.[/quote]

My small talk consists of talking to people about their kids and their hobbies, and current events and the weather. I can talk football and college basketball. There are some people who talk about Glee and Dancing with the Stars and The Situation, but not me.

Do you talk about nothing but TV at the water cooler?[/quote]

how do you watch college sports if there is no tv in your house?[/quote]

PP here with no TV in the house.  We don't watch college or any other sports.  Didn't even know who was playing in the Superbowl this year (we use the Sports section of the WaPo to line the cats' litter box).

To that degree, we are out of touch.  And we are out of touch re: TV shows too.  Not a problem for us.  We read; play board and other games; play cards; do things outdoors.  Our kids do crafts, coloring, play games, dance to music.

It's not rocket science.  People did it for centuries until about 50 years ago.[/quote]
