Television is the box...
Television is the box in front of you that does your thinking. Internet bulletin boards take up any slack and confirm ultimate reality for you. All the falsehood you've ever swallowed by reason of wrong decisions made during a lifetime (which inform your frame of reference) represent the corner you've painted yourself into, which is the exact location of the La-Z-Boy naugahyde chair you now sit in. Think. Think again.

I think Grampy Bobby needs his own reality show. Contestants would be strapped to a La-Z-Boy naugahyde chair and forced to watch his home movies. The last one to stay sane would be the winner.
I believe this is something that is long overdue and just wanted to share it here."... Enjoyed your public profile, Home. I don't do TV.

But if you find yourself in this situation you have only yourself to blame. TV has informative items if you look for them. It's not all Grace and Will

You think you are judging people, but you are actually opening a window into the inadequaces of your own life, and allowing us to see your fears.
careful...
if you disagree assertively he will not only think you testy but call you threatened...

P.S. By the way, always park my sorry blond Swedish butt on the open door patio side of a comfy royal blue sofa, not a wall corner in sight.
