My post about my telly addiction was written to participate in this months ‘Postie Carnival’ which is hosted by Simple Kind of Life’s Colleen.
View the many and more posts about television; there are tons of interesting posts that I’m off to read. I wonder what the next carnival topic will be!

When my husband and I moved into our apartment we were trying to find ways to save money. We had to have a landline phone, despite both having cell phones because my husband is a police officer and it’s a requirement by the department. Given I was planning on working from home, internet was a must as well, so our major sacrifice became cable. We said we weren’t going to have cable, and even though the phone company tried to get us to bundle satellite with our DSL/phone we refused, because it would still save us $300 a year. We figured we have an extensive movie collection, and a playstation and the internet, and most of the shows that we’d been watching: Buffy, Angel and Firefly and Star Trek were all ending and we had absolutely no interest in reality T.V. so why would need television?
