Shameless begging

I'm basically the same.  I watch almost no TV at all, even when I have free time.  Even when it's really good, like HBO or Arrested Development, it's just so time consuming.  You get home from work, eat some food and watch one or two shows and it's already time for bed.  I'm always left feeling like I'll never get that time back -- which is of course true, but not all forms of entertainment leave me with this negative feeling.  Videogames and movies, strangely, don't make me feel this way at all.  I really doubt this is because they necessarily have any more value than high quality TV (there is some).  I think more likely it's just that I enjoy them more.


. . . and so on.

shmokes, just some friendly advice here... maybe you shouldn't talk about having HBO or expensive gadgets in a thread where you're begging for money... I don't think it's helping your cause.  Just a thought.  :cheers:

I haven't considered HBO a luxury since the mid 80s, maybe it's just me. I'm one of the few people I know who doesn't have cable/sattelite with a full boat of stations, and that's because I canceled my DirectTV a few years ago when I got divorced and have never bothered to re-subscribe since I can just find everything I want to watch on-line, anyway.

I don't get it.  So you don't have cable or satellite but HBO is not a luxury?
